The 2011 Ig Nobel sherehe ulifanyika jana katika Harvard ya Sanders Theatre. tuzo ni kufadhiliwa na Utafiti wa Improbable, shirika kwamba inakusanya kuvutia, isiyo ya kawaida, na karatasi moja kwa moja hilarious utafiti ushindi wazo kwamba si wote sayansi ni boring. Miongoni mwa mwaka huu wanajulikana wapokeaji mara entomologist wenzake na blogger David RENTZ, ambao walipata IgNobel katika Biolojia kwa ugunduzi yaliyotolewa katika 1983 na mwenzake Darryl Gwynne katika outback ya Australia. Mengi kwa mshangao wao style fulani ya chupa kahawia na indentations katika wigo (“wavivu”) imeonekana kuwa pingamizi kwa wanaume wa Buprestid mende Julodimorpha bakewelli Julodimorpha saundersii (kuona chanzo karatasi na kutoa maoni chini).
Hongera Dave na Darryl!

It should be noted that the species discussed in the Gwynne & Rentz paper is actually Julodimorpha saundersii, which at the time of their publication was considered a synonym of J. bakewellii. The former occurs throughout SW and Western Australia, while the latter is limited to eastern Australia. Refer to Bellamy & Wier (2008).
