The cave crickets of Greece: a contribution to the study of Southern Balkan Rhaphidophoridae diversity (Orthoptera), with the description of a new species of Troglophilus Krauss, 1879
No full textThe taxonomy, geographic distribution and ecology of Rhaphidophoridae of Greece are
updated herein. At present, 28 species of Dolichopoda Bolívar, 1880 and five species of
Troglophilus Krauss, 1879 are known to colonize Greek caves and, in a few circumstances,
epigean habitats. Dolichopoda includes a high number of species and shows a wide geographic
distribution, including most of Greece. The genus diversity peaks in the Hellenic
region, which hosts 28 of the 51 species described thus far. Most of the Dolichopoda species
show a high degree of endemism, being recorded from only one or a few caves in restricted
geographic areas. The thermo-xerophilic climate characterizing most of the southern Balkan
Peninsula and the high fragmentation of the Greek karstic areas could have played an important
role in the reduction of gene flow among cave cricket populations, leading to strong isolation
and multiple speciation events. All the Dolichopoda species found in the area are highly
dependent on caves and show clear adaptations to the subterranean ecosystems. Of the five
Troglophilus species known for the area, only two occur in continental Greece, with a very
scattered geographic distribution including a few mountain localities in northern and central
Greece. The remaining three species are widespread throughout Crete and some Aegean
islands. Finally the newly discovered Troglophilus zoiai n. sp. from a cave on the western
slope of Mount Parnassos (central Greece) is described
2006. On trophic niche of three italian species of Troglophilus cave crickets (Orthoptera, Rhaphidophoridae).

New records of Aemodogryllinae (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae) from caves of Laos with description of Eutachycines cassani Chopard male.
No full textNew samples of Aemodogryllinae collected in cave habitats from Laos are reported with the description of
the unknown male of Eutachycines cassani(Chopard, 1954).The distribution of Aemodogryllinae in Laos
includes, at present, E. cassaniin the Central Laos, two species of the genus Paradiestrammena, P. vitalisi
(Chopard, 1919) in the Northern part of the country ; P. vernalis (Gorochov, 1998) in the Central Laos, and
one representative of the genus Diestrammena (Brunner and Wattenwyl, 1888) from caves of Northern
Laos close to the border with the Vietnam
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
