Author Information

Dr. Lisa Filippi began investigating Parastrachia japonensis in 1989 for her Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Saga, Japan, where she lived for 20 years. She joined the faculty at Hofstra University upon returning to New York in 2002 and is a Professor of Biology. Dr. Filippi teaches General Biology, Entomology, Organic evolution, and Behavior. She continues to study P. japonensis on visits to Japan, and investigates the related species, Sehirus cinctus here in New York. She recently began monitoring the natural expansion of coyotes onto Long Island, the last reaches of the continental U.S. to have an established coyote population.​Dr. Shintaro Nomakuchi earned his Doctoral degree investigating reproductive behavior of the damselfy, Mnais pruinosa. His P. japonensis research began in 1993 when he joined the faculty of Saga University in Japan. In addition to teaching and supervising an army of undergraduate and graduate students investigating P. japonensis and four provisioning Japanese cydnids, Dr. Nomakuchi translated into Japanese, either alone or with others, three biostatistics texts, a seminal text on dragonflies, and An Introduction to Behavioural Ecology (Davies, Krebs and West, 2012). He is currently Professor Emeritus of Agriculture at Saga University and lives with his family in New York.
