Holotype, male, ~ 4.7 mm, from macroalgae at Praia Norte, Viana do Castelo, Portugal (41.6938, -8.85118), Pedro Gomes, collector, 23 September 2010, Specimen ID SFC 29-003, Process ID FCCOM341- 11. Donated by Filipe Costa, University of Minho, Portugal, to the Canadian Museum of Nature (CMN A2019.0061, catalogue no. CMNC 2019-1385). Paratype, male, ~ 4.8 mm, same location, date and collector, Specimen ID SFC 29- 002, Process ID FCCOM340-11 (catalogue no. CMNC 2019-1386). Etymology. Named in honour of artist Susan Laurie-Bourque who skillfully illustrated all the plates for this paper, Conlan (1990; in press), and many earlier taxonomic treatments. Remarks. Jassa laurieae is only known from the holotype and paratype specimens which are both major form adult males. Both specimens had the posterior portions of their body removed for CO1 analysis, with the results published in Lobo et al. (2017). Body length has been estimated based on the expected length of the remaining body using J. kimi as a model, which is similarly sized. The actual body portion available for study was 1.8 mm long for the holotype and 1.2 mm long for the paratype. Lobo et al. (2017) considered J. laurieae to be a Portuguese variant of J. pusilla, but the CO1 analyses revealed that both the holotype and paratype were genetically similar and clearly distinct from North Sea specimens of J. pusilla as well as from Portuguese and North Sea J. falcata, J. herdmani and J. marmorata, and from U.S. J. staudei. Jassa laurieae is only known from the Atlantic coast of Portugal, where it may be found with J. falcata, J. pusilla and J. herdmani (Fig. 9). Morphologically, the major form males of J. laurieae and J. falcata are similar in appearance at the anterior end, with plumose setae on antenna 2, minute setae on the anterior bases of gnathopods 1 and 2, absence of a seta or cluster of setae on the anterodistal margin of the gnathopod 1 carpus at the junction of the propodus, and relatively long thumb with rounded tip. The two differ in that J. laurieae lacks the dorsal fringe of setae on article 2 of the mandibular palp which both J. falcata and J. herdmani consistently possess in both sexes and all ages. Jassa falcata is also distinctive in having 1–2 spines midway along the inner ramus of uropod 3, but the state for J. laurieae is unknown. Large major form J. falcata have a very long thumb which is more squared at the tip than in J. laurieae but there are too few specimens of the latter to determine variation. Jassa laurieae is less similar in appearance to congener J. pusilla than to J. falcata in the major form male, although the females and juveniles may prove to be more similar. Major form males of J. pusilla develop an indent at the tip of the thumb and never have plumose setae on the antenna 2. Both species are similar in lacking the dorsal setal cluster on article 2 of the mandibular palp and lack of a seta or setal cluster on the anterodistal junction of the carpus with the propodus on gnathopod 1. They are also similar in their small body length, while J. falcata achieves a greater length. Until more specimens of J. laurieae are found, these two species are currently only distinguishable by the major form male. Additional distinguishing characters may occur on the posterior region of the body, though. Jassa herdmani bears the distinguishing setal fringe on article 2 of the mandibular palp (any age, both sexes), and this serves to easily separate it from J. laurieae. Major form males of J. herdmani do not bear plumose setae on antenna 2 and achieve greater body size.Published as part of Conlan, Kathleen E., Desiderato, Andrea & Beermann, Jan, 2021, Jassa (Crustacea: Amphipoda): a new morphological and molecular assessment of the genus, pp. 1-191 in Zootaxa 4939 (1) on pages 94-97, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4939.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/458062

Dactyl expanded close to the junction with the propodus but not centrally toothed. ......continued on the next page TABLE 12. (Continued) 14 Very large thumbed males may have greatly lengthened second antennae that lack the plumose setae that smaller males possess (Fig. 62) 15 In J. myersi, the setae are sparse, but can be interpreted to be numerous enough to comprise a fringe or not to comprise a fringe. Therefore, in the key to all species, J. myersi has been included twice so that it can be keyed out as either having a fringe or not. Adult female: Unknown. Description. Male, holotype.

Holotype, male, 3.5 mm, from a light trap at 4–6 m depth near a breakwater at Impo Port, Yeosu-Si, The Republic of Korea, 34°35′47″N, 127°48′17″E, S.-S. Hong, collector, 23 June 2011. catalogue number: MARBK-115; deposit institution: Marine Amphipoda Resources Bank of Korea (MARBK), Cheonan, South Korea. Etymology. Named in honour of Young-Hyo Kim, who has considerably expanded our knowledge of the biodiversity of Korean amphipods. Remarks. Numerous combinations of non-sexually dimorphic characters serve to distinguish J. kimi from all other species of Jassa. Jassa kimi lacks the fringe of setae on the anterior margin of the gnathopod 2 basis which is distinctive in numerous North Pacific species of Jassa (J. borowskyae, J. carltoni, J. oclairi, J. staudei, J. marmorata, J. slatteryi, and J. morinoi). From the other North Pacific species that also lack this fringe (J. myersi and J. shawi), it can be distinguished by having only a very short seta on the carpus of gnathopod 1 at the anterodistal junction of the propodus (long seta in J. myersi but short in J. shawi). From J. shawi it can be distinguished by the length of the peduncular process underlying the rami of uropod 1. In J. kimi, this process is about one third the length of the longer inner ramus, which is typical of most species of Jassa. In J. shawi, this process is extremely short, appearing absent unless viewed microscopically. When compared with Northern Hemisphere species that are restricted to the Atlantic and adjoining seas (J. falcata, J. herdmani, J. laurieae, J. monodon and J. pusilla), the absence of a setal fringe on gnathopod 2 can be readily used as a distinguishing character as all lack this fringe. These species bear other character states that are not shared with J. kimi. Jassa falcata and J. herdmani possess an extra fringe of setae on the second article of the mandibular palp which is directed dorsally, which J. kimi does not possess. Jassa monodon has a distinctive cluster of setae at the apex of the telson, which J. kimi lacks. Jassa laurieae and J. pusilla lack the carpal seta on gnathopod 1 that J. kimi possesses. The male dimorphism also differs. Jassa kimi does not bear plumose setae on antenna 2 while J. laurieae does. The thumb shape of the major male distinguishes J. kimi from J. pusilla: very long and slightly sinous in J. kimi with a squared end, while in J. pusilla the thumb is shorter and the tip incised. For Southern Hemisphere species, the fringe of spine-like setae along the anterior margin of the basis of gnathopod 1, long carpal seta(e) on gnathopod 1 and/or the prehensile pereopods 5–7 will separate J. kimi from J. alonsoae, J. fenwicki, J. hartmannae, J. ingens, J. justi, J. kjetilanna and J. thurstoni. That leaves J. gruneri, which is less easy to compare as the thumbed male is unknown for J. gruneri but known for J. kimi and the female and juvenile are known for J. gruneri but unknown for J. kimi. When the female and juvenile male of J. kimi are found, it is likely that the palm of the gnathopod 2 will be concave, which is a characteristic of most Northern Hemisphere species of Jassa, while females and juvenile males of Southern Hemisphere species typically have sinuous palms (as does J. gruneri). Other characteristics may also distinguish these species: e.g., fewer articles in the antenna 2 flagellum in J. kimi than J. gruneri and generally more slender and elongated mouthparts in J. kimi than J. gruneri.Published as part of Conlan, Kathleen E., Desiderato, Andrea & Beermann, Jan, 2021, Jassa (Crustacea: Amphipoda): a new morphological and molecular assessment of the genus, pp. 1-191 in Zootaxa 4939 (1) on pages 102-108, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4939.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/458062

Evidence for the decay B0→J/ψω and measurement of the relative branching fractions of meson decays to J/ψη and J/ψη′
No full textFirst evidence of the B 0 → J / ψ ω decay is found and the B s 0 → J / ψ η and B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ decays are studied using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb -1 collected by the LHCb experiment in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The branching fractions of these decays are measured relative to that of the B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0 decay:frac(B (B 0 → J / ψ ω), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 0.89 ± 0.19 (stat) - 0.13 + 0.07 (syst),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 14.0 ± 1.2 (stat) - 1.5 + 1.1 (syst) - 1.0 + 1.1 (frac(f d, f s)),frac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B 0 → J / ψ ρ 0)) = 12.7 ± 1.1 (stat) - 1.3 + 0.5 (syst) - 0.9 + 1.0 (frac(f d, f s)), where the last uncertainty is due to the knowledge of f d / f s, the ratio of b-quark hadronization factors that accounts for the different production rate of B 0 and B s 0 mesons. The ratio of the branching fractions of B s 0 → J / ψ η ′ and B s 0 → J / ψ η decays is measured to befrac(B (B s 0 → J / ψ η ′), B (B s 0 → J / ψ η)) = 0.90 ± 0.09 (stat) - 0.02 + 0.06 (syst)
