Clathria (Thalysias) hirsuta Hooper & Levi 1993
No full textClathria (Thalysias) hirsuta Hooper & Levi, 1993 Fig. 21 Clathria hirsuta Hooper & Levi, 1993: 1259, figs 19–20. Material examined PONTA DO OURO • 1 very small sample covering a hydroid; 26°49′29.579″ S, 32°53′51.072″ E; Blacks; 19.2 m deep; 4 Feb. 2017; Cerrano leg.; PO10 • 1 small fragment; 26°49′16.561″ S, 32°53′52.979″ E; Tea Garden; 19.7 m deep; 6 Mar. 2017; Cerrano leg.; PO78. Description The sponge is massive (Fig. 21 A–B), digitiform and arborescent (Fig. 21C). The exhalant channels converge in numerous, large oscula (Fig. 21 A–B). The color may vary from bright orange to vivid red (Fig. 21 A–C). Both samples preserved in alcohol changed their color to beige. The surface is verrucose and the consistence is elastic. SKELETON. The ectosome consists of a layer of small styles. The choanosome is formed by an irregular reticulation from pauci- to multispicular primary fibers, 52–73 µm in section, and secondary unispicular fibers, 24–41 µm. Both are spongin rich and are cored by smooth styles. Echinating acanthostyles are present on the primary fibers (Fig. 21D). SPICULES. Smooth and straight styles (Fig. 21E), sometimes modified in subtylostyles, 82.5–(93.25, 11.8)– 137.5 µm × 4–(5.2, 0.7)– 6 µm; smooth and slightly curved styles (Fig. 21F), 70–(109.5, 23.4)– 147 µm × 4.5–(5.2, 0.7)– 6.1 µm; straight acanthostyles (Fig. 21G) with sharp spines on the terminal parts, close to the tips and scattered on the head, 40–(56.3, 10.3)– 72 µm; raphidiform toxas (Fig. 21H) slightly curved in the middle, 100–(104.5)– 120 µm ×4.75–(6)– 7.5 µm; palmate chelae (Fig. 21I) 5–7.5 µm. Remarks Clathria (Thalysias) hirsuta Hooper & Levi, 1993 was exclusively known from New Caledonia and Australia (Great Barrier Reef); this is the first record in the Indian Ocean. The spicule shape, size and the morphology fit the original description of the species. However, Hooper & Levi (1993) recognized two distinct populations, with some morphological differences, one from Queensland and one from New Caledonia. The morphological characters (especially spicule size) make the specimens, here examined, closer to the population from New Caledonia. On the specimen PO78 the hydroid Zyzzyzus warreni Calder, 1988 (Class Hydrozoa, Phylum Cnidaria) was detected.Published as part of Calcinai, Barbara, Belfiore, Giuseppe, Pica, Daniela, Torsani, Fabrizio, Palma, Marco & Cerrano, Carlo, 2020, Porifera from Ponta do Ouro (Mozambique), pp. 1-56 in European Journal of Taxonomy 698 on page 39, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2020.698, http://zenodo.org/record/397851

Dimmesdale and Hooper: Copy and Paste or Unique Characters?
No full textNathanial Hawthorne, the author of The Scarlet Letter and The Minister\u27s Black Veil, is known for his dynamic characters and complex symbols. Arthur Dimmesdale, with his self-inflicted scarlet letter, and Pastor Hooper, with his black veil, are two of Hawthorne\u27s more well-known characters; Hooper is often thought to be a rough draft of what would become Dimmesdale. But are they really that similar? Although Dimmesdale and Hooper have significant similarities in their confusion of the doctrine of Christianity, their strong connection to symbol, their isolation from their own community, and their role as pastor over a congregation, the implementation of these elements in the two texts and the approaches of the two men are quite different
