The Early Expressive Vocabulary Size in Simultaneous Bilingual Growing-Up Infants - A Diagnostic Relevant Criterion?
Aim: Bilingual young children's early expressive vocabulary size and its composition (as one domain of the language development) should be examined to find out whether children with a risk for delayed language development may be identified in this way. Method: 30 bilingual kindergarten infants from Berlin (with simultaneous language acquisition; second language German) and 30 monolingual German infants from the greater areas of Stuttgart and Heidelberg were pair matched (mean chronological age 22.5 [SD 3.1] months; min 16; max 26). The German expressive vocabulary checklist Elternfragebogen zur Wortschatzentwicklung im fruhen Kindesalter (ELAN; Bockmann & Kiese-Himmel, 2006) was filled out by all parents. In addition, parents of bilingual infants completed the adaption of the German vocabulary checklist Sprachbeurteilung durch Eltern (SBE-2-KT; v. Suchodoletz & Sachse, 2008) for the second mother tongue. Results: The monolinguals' word sum in the ELAN (145.7; SD 75.8) differed significantly (p=0.001) from the bilinguals' word sum (78.3; SD 78.9 words). In contrast, bilinguals did not significantly differ in their overall expressive vocabulary size (ELAN+SBE-2-KT: 101.2; SD 77.0 words) from their monolingual counterparts (ELAN). Conclusion: Because bilinguals had a similar sized overall early vocabulary (both languages) like monolingual German-learning infants, the diagnostic criterion to identify late talkers with 24 months of age (less than 50 German words and no word combinations) should not be applied to bilingually infants with simultaneously double language acquisition

Ituglanis Costa & Bockmann
[[Ituglanis Costa & Bockmann]] Ituglanis was created by Costa & Bockmann in recognition of a small monophyletic group of species formerly included in Trichomycterus, a genus of the non-monophyletic sub-family Trichomycterinae. Ituglanis is a widespread catfish genus occurring in the main river basins of tropical South America (Costa & Bockmann, 1993). It is hypothesized that Ituglanis forms a monophyletic lineage within a large trichomycterid clade containing the subfamilies Tridentinae, Stegophilinae, Vandellinae, Sarcoglanidinae and Glanapteryginae, the clade TSVSG as defined by Costa & Bockmann (1993, 1994), all sharing a reduced number of pleural ribs (i. e., one to six pairs) (Costa & Bockmann, 1993; de Pinna, 1998). Ituglanis has been placed in an intermediate phylogenetic position between the TSVSG clade and all other trichomycterids, thus considered to be important to understand the major morphological, functional and trophic modifications occurring in the specialized members of the TSVSG clade (e. g., the hematophagous candirus) (de Pinna, 1998; de Pinna & Keith, 2003). With increased collecting efforts and a detailed taxonomic study, much reliable information about the genus has been published since 2000. Seven new species of Ituglanis have been recently described, including four adapted to cave environments (Fernandez & Bichuette, 2002; Bichuette & Trajano, 2004), Ituglanis nebulosus from French Guyana distinguished principally by the color pattern (de Pinna and Keith, 2003), Ituglanis macunaina described by a combination of characteristics but without any exclusive taxonomic character (Datovo & Landim, 2005) and Ituglanis cahyensis (Sarmento-Soares et al., 2006), also from Bahia, but distinguished by many features. With the description of Ituglanis paraguassuensis the genus now comprises 18 species, a number that will probably increase in a few years.Published as part of Rafael M. Campos-Paiva & Wilson J. E. M.
