Cybocephalus iviei T. R. Smith in T. R. Smith & Cave 2007
No full textCybocephalus iviei T. R. Smith (Fig. 85–92) Cybocephalus iviei T. R. Smith in Smith and Cave 2007a: 169–170. Distribution. West Indies (Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands). Hosts. Pseudococcidae: Hypogeococcus pungens Granara de Willink. Remarks. A large series of C. iviei was collected, sifting litter underneath cacti and agave. Cybocephalids are often associated with scale insects feeding on cacti, and it can be inferred that this was why so many of these beetles were found thus. Another series of this beetle was collected in flight intercept traps on Buck Island, U.S. Virgin Islands. This species (published as C. kathrynae) has been documented feeding on the pollen of Mammillaria nivosa Link ex N. D. Pfeiffer and was captured in Puerto Rico feeding on H. pungens (Curbelo-Rodrígues et al. 2012). This is a wingless species, unlike Cybocephalus randalli; no winged phenotypes have been found. Originally this species was determined to be C. kathrynae by the author (Curbelo-Rodrígues et al. 2012). However, upon further examination and with more specimens on hand for dissection, the author has determined that the species recorded in Puerto Rico by Curbelo-Rodrígues et al. (2012) was C. iviei.Published as part of Smith, Trevor Randall, 2022, Review of the Cybocephalidae (Coleoptera) of North America and the West Indies with descriptions of two new species of Cybocephalus Erichson, pp. 1-35 in Insecta Mundi 2022 (950) on page 16, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.730061
Sustainability Analysis on the new Smith College Dining System: Grab ‘N’ Go vs. Non Grab ‘N’ Go Houses
No full textFood and food related product waste is a major concern throughout the world. At a local scale, it has become an issue at Smith College. This study conducted a sustainability analysis on the new dining system, the “neighborhood model”, implemented at Smith College in fall of 2004, We observed distinct partitioning in the amount of food and food related product waste generated by Grab ‘N’ Go dining halls compared to traditional dining halls at Smith. At two non-Grab ‘N’ Go, Chapin and Hubbard, and two Grab ‘N’ Go houses, Tyler and Cushing, we recorded the number of students attending per meal time and the amount of food waste and food related product waste in pounds for three random days over the course of two weeks. Both houses with Grab ‘N’ Go food service produced greater amounts of food and food related product waste per capita (Chapin 9.37 lbs per capita, Hubbard 5.61 lbs per capita). Conversely, houses with traditional dining service produced relatively few lbs of waste per capita (Tyler 5.51 lbs per capita, Cushing 5.15 lbs per capita). It is evident that the large quantities of waste being produced in Grab ‘N’ Go houses does not make the “neighborhood model” a sustainable system. Thus, we recommend changes the model toward a more sustainable system
Sustainability Analysis of Smith Dining: Grab ‘N’ Go vs. Non Grab ‘N’ Go Houses
No full textFood and food related packaging is rising in the United States. Colleges and Universities are not immune to this increase and because of their visibility, these institutions have the potential to serve as role models for waste prevention. The aim of this study was to see which type of residential dining halls produced the most amount of food and food related waste: Non-Grab ‘N’ Go houses or Grab ‘N’ Go houses. Over a two week period, my partner and I went to four dining halls (two Non-Grab ‘N’ Go and two Grab ‘N’ Go) three times and gathered data on: 1) the number of students who ate each at each of the four dining halls, 2) the number of 2.5 gallon “slop” buckets used for each meal and 3) the number of 60 gallon trash barrels used at the end of the day, including the 2000 pound dumpsters. The results show that Grab ‘N’ Go houses far exceed the amount of food and food related packaging waste produced, with Chapin at 9.37 lbs of waste produced per capita per day. We recommend that Smith College implement the recommendations that we listed at the end of the report. They include for the college: 1) to replace the bottled water and cups at Grab ‘N’ Go locations to Nalgene bottles that should be given out at the beginning of the school year, 2) replace the individual containers of food to a recyclable tray, 3) reinstall composting 4) put recycling containers near Grab ‘N’ Go containers and 5) educate the campus about the hazards of food waste. We hope that with these recommendations, Smith College will move toward a more sustainable campus, thus, proving to be a role model for the community at large

New Skies Above
No full textResearch background: This song resulted from a songwriting workshop co-facilitated by Naomi Sunderland (Griffith University), Kristina Jacobsen (University of New Mexico), and Klisala Harrison (University of Helsinki). The workshop facilitated place-based, sense-bound song writing with refugees and asylum seekers who have experienced significant trauma drawing on previous research and creative work by the facilitators. The research investigated participants' experiences of using sense bound songwriting and how they felt before and after the workshop.
Research contribution: The research contribution is primarily in applying trauma informed practice models from social work and psychotherapy to song writing and community music. In addition to three original songs and recordings that emerged from the project the facilitators have published a peer reviewed article.
Research significance: The literature review for this project confirms that there is a vast need to respond to participants' experiences of trauma in sensitive and informed ways in community music settings. This project applied sensory ethnographic and trauma informed ways of working in a community music context in partnership with local service providers. This work is one of only nine published articles that directly relate to these topics currently available. Networks formed during this project are ongoing and have resulted in a community radio podcast produced by one of the participants about the songwriting workshop and ongoing collaborations between participating musicians.No Full Tex
Meiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz
No full textMeiacanthus (Meiacanthus) geminatus Smith-Vaniz The cardinal fish Chileodipterus zonatus Smith and Radcliffe is a remarkably similar appearing mimic of this species (Smith-Vaniz et al. 2001). The same color photograph of Meiacanthus vittatus given in Allen et al. (2003: 339) is here reproduced as Fig. 8. An excellent color photograph of this species also appears in Eichler and Myers (1997: 373). Two additional specimens of M. geminatus are available from Sabah, and agree well with Smith- Vaniz's (1987) expanded description of the species: WAM P. 30403 -006 (47.0 mm SL, female) and WAM P. 30409 - 0 0 4 (44.9 mm SL, male). The second author also observed this distinctive species at two additional locations at northeastern Kalimantan, Indonesia (2 ° 20.804 'N, 118 ° 11.031 'E and 1 ° 32.378 'N, 118 ° 23.443 'E) during a survey in 2003.Published as part of Smith-Vaniz, William F. & Allen, Gerald R., 2011, Three new species of the fangblenny genus Meiacanthus from Indonesia, with color photographs and comments on other species (Teleostei: Blenniidae: Nemophini), pp. 39-58 in Zootaxa 3046 on page 45, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27887
