Taxonomy and distribution of the genus Tavanicythere Bossio, 1980 (Ostracoda, Leptocytheridae)
The genus Tavanicythere was established in 1980 by Bossio on the basis of several valves recovered in the Lower Messinian brackish deposits of the Radicondoli area (Volterra Basin, Tuscany, central Italy). Three species were included in this genus: Tavanicythere lepida Bossio (the type species), Tavanicythere etrusca Bossio and Tavanicythere pulchra Bossio. Since then, many other specimens referable to Tavanicythere have been collected from several Neogene Tuscany basins (Volterra, Valdelsa, Cinigiano-Baccinello), but no specific identifications were carried out and they were generally reported in literature as Tavanicythere sp. In this paper we have revised all the collected material. Up to 15 different new taxa have been recognised, even if only 11 are formally established herein as new species, due, in some cases, to the scarcity of valves: Tavanicythere varieornata nov. sp., Tavanicythere persculpta nov. sp., Tavanicythere posteroalata nov. sp. Tavanicythere sulcata nov. sp., Tavanicythere magna nov. sp., Tavanicythere nodosa nov. sp., Tavanicythere armata nov. sp., Tavanicythere ioachinoi nov. sp., Tavanicythere julianii nov. sp., Tavanicythere parva nov. sp. and Tavanicythere irregularis nov. sp. Only few species of Tavanicythere appear to be distributed in different basins, the majority being confined to one basin only. This could be due to particular brackish environmental conditions that triggered basin endemisms. The recovery of new Tavanicythere species lead to enlarge the stratigraphical distribution of this genus, prior limited to the Early Messinian, to the time interval Late Tortonian-Messinian. Tavanicythere seems to be widespread only in the Mediterranean basin and, in particular, in Italy (Tuscany). At present, outside of Italy it has been collected only from the Late Messinian brackish deposits of the Sorbas basin (SE Spain)

Análisis de textos primarios: la obra de Boris Bossio Vivas
El presente trabajo forma parte de una investigación más amplia acerca de la obra, y particularmente la producción de textos, por parte de Boris Bossio Vivas (1919-1985). Aquí nos restringimos a discutir su producción de textos para primaria. Se adoptó como marco metodológico la propuesta de Schubring (1987), complementada con algunas entrevistas. Se desarrollaron ciertos instrumentos ad-hoc para vaciar y para analizar la información. Para seguir esta metodología se ubicaron todas las ediciones posibles del autor en este nivel de enseñanza. Se hizo el estudio completo de su obra y se situó ésta en el marco contextual (educativo, económico y socio-político) del momento histórico que le tocó vivir. Particular importancia en el análisis cobró la presencia en nuestro medio de la corriente pedagógica conocida como escuela nueva (EN). Asimismo, se tomaron en consideración los diversos cambios curriculares ocurridos a la par del desarrollo de la obra de Bossio, cambios en los cuales él mismo tuvo parte. Sobre esta base se arribó a importantes conclusiones que permiten caracterizar la obra de Bossio y observar la sintonía que éste tuvo con los preceptos pedagógicos encarnados en la EN. Asimismo, se determinó la coherencia entre sus planteamientos teóricos y el desarrollo de sus libros. De igual manera se constató la gran influencia de su obra en la educación matemática venezolana
Bringing soils back to life: a conversation with Deborah Bossio
On this episode of Thrive podcast, we sit down with of Dr. Deborah Bossio, the Area Director of Soils Research at the CGIAR International Center for Tropical Agriculture. Bossio has spent the last 20 years working at the nexus between soil and social sciences. Based in Kenya, she jointly leads two programs within the WLE network. One works on regenerating degraded ecosystems, the other on ecosystems services and resilience, a core theme in WLE

Transforming the global landscape
Rapid land transformation driven by large scale investments is one of the big trends defining this century. In a virtual briefing for the Global Donor Platform members CIAT agriculture expert Deborah Bossio dismisses the cry for more investments often heard in development circles. From her perspective a lack of investments is not the problem. The more pressing question is whether these large scale investments could be sustainable and socially inclusive. How are they going to play out in the end?
Another emerging feature, according to Bossio, is the dominance of globalization as well as foreign income and international trade as major drivers of land use change. Taking a closer look at these dynamics shows that we aim at achieving multiple goals (sustaining communities, produce goods, store carbon, protect wildlife, sustain biodiversity, ecosystem services). The landscapes approach provides a vehicle for realizing those objectives.
After outlining the reasons behind choosing landscapes approaches, Deborah rounds off with introducing specifics of CIAT’s landscapes approach.
Deborah Bossio is the director of soils research area at CIAT. She is based in Nairobi, Kenya, and has more than 15 years experience working in sustainable agriculture development research.
