A new species of Haemopis (Annelida: hirudinea): evolution of North American terrestrial leeches
No full textAmong the relatively few terrestrial leeches known worldwide, only two (Haemopis terrestris, Haemopis septagon) are described from North America. Here we report a third terrestrial leech collected from the southern part of New Jersey, USA. Tissue samples were obtained from 14 individuals representing three populations, and morphological characters were scored after dorsal and ventral dissections. Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian Inference analyses resolved phylogenetic relationships within the genus Haemopis using cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1), 12S ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and 28S rRNA gene fragments, establishing the monophyly of North American haemopids and terrestrialism as a synapomorphy for some members of the group. Geographic isolation, morphological distinctions and combined phylogenetic analyses support the designation of a new species of terrestrial leech, Haemopis ottae n. sp. Phylogeographic interpretations of the haemopid clade suggest that terrestrialism was derived from a northern, aquatic ancestor whose descendents were initially confined to Midwestern States and central Canada by the Appalachian Range. More recently, the terrestrial lineage diverged near the southern extent of its range and began a northeasterly migration along coastal states giving rise to H. septagon and H. ottae n. sp., the latter of which appears to define the leading edge of a northward expansion.M.S.Includes bibliographical references (p. 20-26)by Beth Anne Wirchansk
Women's Christmas, Domestic Homicide, Beth Underdown
No full textWomen will recognise the emotional and domestic labour of the festive period from cooking Christmas dinner, to sending cards, and buying and wrapping presents. In Ireland this weekend there's a celebration of 'Women's Christmas' - based on a tradition that appreciates the work done by women at this time. It's a holiday that's seeing growing support so where does the idea originate and what's its significance today? Women's history researcher Gillian Kenny and author Mary Morrissy discuss.
A man guilty of the manslaughter of two women he'd been in relationships with will be sentenced today for the murder of a third woman who had ended their relationship. How was Theodore Johnson able to kill again? Forensic criminologist Dr Jane Monckton-Smith says more must be done to protect women at risk from partners who are abusive or controlling - key factors in domestic homicide.
Beth Underdown's debut novel is based on the life of the 1640's witch-finder Matthew Hopkins. The story is narrated by Matthew's fictional sister, Alice, who is forced against her will to help Hopkins in identifying and prosecuting witches. Hopkins' instigated witch trials which led to the death of at least one hundred women across Eastern England. Beth joins Jenni to talk about collective madness, witches, women's rights and a particularly turbulent period in English history.

The Future is in Your Hands: Portrait Photography from Senegal
No full textBeth Buggenhagen is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Indiana University. She is author of Muslim Families in Global Senegal: Money Takes Care of Shame and editor (with Anne-Maria Makhulu and Stephen Jackson) of Hard Work, Hard Times: Global Volatility and African Subjectivities.This work is under a CC-BY-NC-ND license.

If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you may not distribute the modified material.In Senegal, portraiture serves as a vital index and creator of social connection. People sit for and display portraits, keep albums, and view illustrated magazines together. Through these portraiture practices, Senegalese have fashioned idealized images to mend fraught and fragmented lives in the context of decades of migration.
The Future Is in Your Hands provides an expansive frame for photography to highlight the role of affect in portraiture practices. Moving from the colonial to the newly independent Senegal, Beth Buggenhagen combines museum, ethnographic, and archival research on photography's past with lens-based artists who address themes of separation, visibility, rupture, and repatriation through portraiture. Buggenhagen, in collaboration with Senegalese photographers, explores how photographs, as visual and material objects, migrate themselves and, like the bodies they represent, create a record not only of lived experiences but also of the cycle of migration for this labor-exporting country.
By complicating the history of portraiture in Senegal, The Future Is in Your Hands reveals the enduring power of images and the efforts under way to keep this art form safely in Senegalese hands.Acknowledgments
