Navinaxonopsis Cook 1967
No full textSubgenus Navinaxonopsis Cook, 1967 Axonopsis (Navinaxonopsis): Cook, 1974 a, p. 334, figs. 1393, 1397, 1398, 1400, 1406. Diagnosis of adults. Character states of genus Brachypodopsis. Fourth leg of males with tibia slender proximally but greatly expanded distally, and with tarsus curved. Type species. Axonopsis (Navinaxonopsis) abnormipes Cook. Species included. Brachypodopsis (N.) abnormipes (Cook) (India), B. (N.) persica (Pešić) (Iran, Turkey). Distribution. India and western Asia. Discussion. Cook (1974 a) considered Navinaxonopsis to be a subgenus of Axonopsis and Pešić (2004) followed that treatment. Here we propose to transfer the taxon as a subgenus to the genus Brachypodopsis. As in the case of Kalobrachypoda, the species of Navinaxonopsis appear to represent a divergent offshoot of the species complex typified by Brachypodopsis baumi Halik and the status of this taxon will also need to be reevaluated when the phylogeny of the genus Brachypodopsis is more completely known.Published as part of Smith, Ian M., Cook, David R. & Gerecke, Reinhard, 2015, Revision of the status of some genus-level water mite taxa in the families Pionidae Thor, 1900, Aturidae Thor, 1900, and Nudomideopsidae Smith, 1990 (Acari: Hydrachnidiae), pp. 111-156 in Zootaxa 3919 (1) on page 140, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3919.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/24458

Abdomen: Abdomen as in Fig. 8. Aedeagus: Aedeagus as in Fig. 17. Base only slightly wider than apex, strongly curved, length 0.14; lateral spur relatively short and straight, length 0.04. Diagnosis. Halictophagus dominicus n. sp. appears to most closely resemble Halictophagus americanus Perkins 1905. The aedeagus is similar in these two species in that they are both similar in length and shape. The thorax also has some similarities but differs in the shape of the scutellum, being somewhat pentagonal in H. dominicus n. sp. but very triangular in H. americanus. Other sclerites of the thorax are similar but with minor differences in shape and dimension. Additionally, H. dominicus n. sp. is almost twice the size of H. americanus. Halictophagus dominicus n. sp. and H. americanus resemble Halictophagus omani Bohart 1943 and Halictophagus insularum (Pierce 1908) in many characters. Halictophagus insularum differs from the others in having a tooth-like basal extension of the femur and H. omani has a head that is approximately four times as wide as the eye length. Halictophagus dominicus n. sp. also has a relatively large head that is wider than the first two segments of the thorax and the shape of its thoracic dorsal sclerites are clearly different form H. omani. Thus, Halictophagus dominicus n. sp. does not have a single character (like the extension of the femur in H. insularum) that defines the species but it is defined by a unique combination of characters. Etymology. The specific epithet refers to the type distribution of this species being the Dominican Republic.Published as part of Cook, Jerry L., 2013, Two new species of Halictophagus (Strepsiptera, Halictophagidae) from the Dominican Republic, pp. 569-578 in Zootaxa 3620 (4) on pages 574-577, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3620.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/22292

Ecology. The habitat is unlike other pleids in that it is found in a hygropetric zone. This habitat includes shallow water films across rocks that can be generally vertical or at least sloping. These insects are general found in cracks or amid vegetation but usually not in areas of fast flowing water. One collection site is shown in Fig. 7. Etymology. the specific epithet combines two Greek roots, sticto- meaning punctured and –soma meaning body. Thus the name refers to its heavily punctate dorsum.Published as part of Cook, Jerry L., 2011, A new genus and species of Pleidae (Hemiptera) from Venezuela, with notes on the genera of Pleidae, pp. 26-34 in Zootaxa 3067 on pages 28-32, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20535
Supporting information for "Parameterising the seasonal-diurnal wind climate of Rome: Fiumicino and Ciampino"
No full textThis dataset contains information supporting the above titled paper in Meteorological Applications. The data includes the processed joint PDFs of wind speed and direction from 45 years of observations at half-hour intervals for Fiumicino and Ciampino airports. These data have been analysed by month and time of day to reveal the seasonal-diurnal variation of wind vector, and parameterised by fitting to the OEN model of Harris & Cook (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2014.05.005). The joint PDFs are revealed to be a mixture of distinct seven diurnal and three non-diurnal wind-producing mechanisms including calms, local-scale and continental-scale land and sea breezes, transient along-shore jets, down-slope winds and a component attributed to the atmospheric tide. Values of the OEN parameters for each component are provided for the first fit, second fit, Fourier-smoothed and fuzzy OEN model. Charts are provided which compare the second-fit and smoothed model parameters over the seasonal and diurnal cycles. R scripts are provided to reproduce the figures in the paper and the additional charts, and to demonstrate accessing the data for further examination and analysis
