Abdomen: reddish brown with irregular darker areas, with short decumbent silver setae. Measurements. Total length: 4.37. Width (maximum across abdomen): 1.97. Head. Length: 0.49 width: 0,75; vertex 0.51 Antennae. Length segment I: 0.30; II: 1.07; III: 0.38; IV: 0.29. Pronotum. Length: 0.76; width at base: 1.23. Etymology. The specific epithet means ‘curious, striking,’ and refers to the particular aspect of this new species. Comments. Despite considerable collection efforts in Península Valdés using pitfall traps, only one female individual of this new taxon was collected. The fact that probably all Clivinematini are predaceous (Ferreira, 1998) and not abundant in collections, the particular head and pronotum morphology, and the micropterous condition of this taxon (possibly adaptations to desertic conditions), as well as the need for greater knowledge of the local fauna, have encouraged us to describe it.

Phenology and distribution of Italian populations of Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero and Dellap? (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae)
No full textSummary: Phenology and distribution of Italian populations of Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero and Dellapé (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae). Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapè (Heteroptera: Thaumastocoridae) was detected for the first time in Italy in September 2011, on several Eucalyptus species and hybrids. This pest, native of Australia, was the first species of the family Thaumastocoridae found in Europe. In this paper we report data on its current distribution in Italy, where the species is present in Lazio, Campania and Tuscany. Phenological studies allowed to detect the presence of eggs, preimaginal stages and peaks of the flight of the adults. No diapausing stage were detected

Biology. Unknown. Collected between 1580m and 2050m elevation. The collection sites belong to the Andean region and Central Patagonian subregion (Morrone 2001). The species was collected on the typical patagonian shrubs: Adesmia volkmanni (Fabaceae), Fabiana denudata patagonica (Asteraceae), Anarthrophyllum rigidum (Asteraceae) and on an undetermined Asteraceae. Discussion. Mendozamiris chiquillanes can be easily recognized by its habitus and male genitalia. Specimens of both sexes from different localities have relatively dramatic chromatic variation (compare figures 1–3 and 2–4).Published as part of Carpintero, Diego Leonardo & Chérot, Frédéric, 2014, A new genus and species of Mirini from Argentina (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Miridae), pp. 395-400 in Zootaxa 3774 (4) on pages 396-399, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3774.4.7, http://zenodo.org/record/23116
Assertion, Belief and Disagreement: A Problem for Truth-Relativism
No full textThis chapter argues that MacFarlane's truth-relativism faces two problems. First, it cannot explain the existence of disputes over assessment-sensitive propositions because it does not have a viable notion of disagreement. Second, it entails the idea that knowledge of the truth-relativist thesis in the context of a dispute is dialectically inhibiting: the truth relativist is committed to an ignorance theory, for the speakers who take part, to a dispute on matters of taste
Selección de sitios de nidificación y efecto del hábitat en el éxito reproductivo de Colaptes campestris (Carpintero Campestre) y Colaptes melanochloros (Carpintero Real) (Aves: Picidae) en talares bonaerenses
No full textEste estudio tuvo como objetivo principal evaluar cómo las características del hábitat (medidas a distintas escalas) afectan la reproducción de dos especies de carpinteros (el Carpintero Real Colaptes melanochloros y el Carpintero Campestre Colaptes campestris).
Particularmente, se caracterizaron los sitios utilizados para nidificar y se evaluó la potencial selección de variables ambientales a la hora de construir cavidades nuevas, comparando los árboles utilizados con aquellos disponibles en el ambiente. Por otro lado, se registraron los principales parámetros del ciclo reproductivo, incluyendo la supervivencia de nidos. Finalmente, se modelaron las relaciones entre los parámetros reproductivos y las características ambientales y temporales dentro del área de estudio.
Durante tres temporadas reproductivas consecutivas (2015-2016, 2016-2017 y 2017- 2018) se monitorearon 157 intentos de nidificación, 58 de Carpintero Campestre y 99 de Carpintero Real. Los carpinteros utilizaron 120 cavidades, que ocurrieron en 111 árboles, siendo un ~80% en Tala. El Carpintero Campestre utilizó árboles que fueron de mayor tamaño y cavidades de mayor volumen que los utilizados por el Carpintero Real. El Carpintero Real tuvo mayor propensión a excavar, tendencia no encontrada en el Carpintero Campestre. Ambos carpinteros evitaron sitios poco fragmentados y con abundante cobertura de la vegetación, mientras que utilizaron árboles de tamaño intermedio, si se los compara con aquellos disponibles en el ambiente. La densidad de madera en los árboles utilizados para nidificar (0,4 g/cm3) fue menor que la disponible en el ambiente (0,5 g/cm3). El Carpintero Campestre nidificó entre mediados de septiembre y mediados de enero, demoró al menos 15 días en construir una cavidad nueva y fue de nidada simple, excepto en los casos donde falló el primer intento, cuando se detectó un intento posterior. El tamaño modal de puesta fue de 4 huevos, que fueron incubados durante 11-12 días, mientras que los pichones permanecieron en el nido entre 28 y 31 días. Los pichones alcanzaron un peso asintótico de 167 g y el punto de máximo crecimiento ocurrió a los 7,0 días de edad. El volumen de la cavidad estuvo negativamente asociado al crecimiento de los pichones de Carpintero Campestre. El Carpintero Real nidificó entre mediados de septiembre y principios de enero, demoró al menos 21 días en construir una cavidad nueva, fue de nidada simple y se observaron parejas intentando criar una segunda nidada en los casos donde el primer intento fracasó. El tamaño modal de puesta fue de 4 huevos, los huevos fueron incubados entre 11 y 13 días y los pichones permanecieron en la cavidad durante 26-30 días. Los pichones alcanzaron un peso asintótico de 119 g y el momento de máximo crecimiento fue a los 7,4 días de edad. Los pichones de ambas especies fueron afectados negativamente por la presencia de larvas del género Philornis. Se observó reducción de nidada en ambos carpinteros, dónde el último pichón de cada nidada tuvo tasas de supervivencia y de crecimiento menores a la de sus hermanos. Sobre el éxito reproductivo, la probabilidad que tuvo un nido de Carpintero Campestre de sobrevivir fue de 38%, mientras que esta probabilidad fue de 46% para el Carpintero Real. La tasa de supervivencia diaria (TSD) fue en incremento conforme avanzó el ciclo de nidificación del Carpintero Real, mientras que, en el Carpintero Campestre, la TSD tuvo una disminución al momento de la eclosión y fue en aumento en la etapa de pichones. En el Carpintero Real, la TSD fue menor al principio y al final de la temporada reproductiva, teniendo su pico el centro de la temporada, mientras que en el Carpintero Campestre la relación entre estas variables fue tal que a medida que avanzó la temporada reproductiva, disminuyó la TSD. Las nidadas de Carpintero Real fueron más exitosas en cavidades excavadas que en cavidades reutilizadas, tendencia no encontrada en el Carpintero Campestre. Así mismo, de manera general, las especies coincidieron en su tamaño de puesta, su período de incubación y en las variables que mejor modelaron la relación con la tasa de supervivencia diaria.
Ninguna de las características ambientales observadas explicó la variación de la supervivencia de nidos. Ya que los carpinteros seleccionaron árboles que tuvieron menor densidad de madera que aquellos disponibles en el ambiente, la tala indiscriminada de sectores de bosque podría disminuir la abundancia de árboles con estas características.
La presente tesis se concibe como un estudio detallado de la biología reproductiva de dos especies neotropicales de carpinteros y la relación que los distintos parámetros reproductivos tienen con el hábitat. Simultáneamente, representa uno de los primeros estudios en monitorear exhaustiva y prolongadamente las poblaciones de estas especies en estas latitudes.The main objective of this study consisted on assessing the effect of habitat structure (measured at different spatial scales) on two woodpecker species (the Green-barred Woodpecker Colaptes melanochloros and the Campo Flicker Colaptes campestris) breeding biology. As a particular objective, to describe nest sites and to assess nest site selection patterns when building new cavities, by comparing used sites against available sites. In addition, to register the main parameters within the nesting cycle, including nest survival. Finally, the last objective included modelling the relationship between the breeding parameters and the environmental and temporal features within the study site. Nest-cavities were monitored throughout tree consecutive breeding seasons (2015-2016, 2016-2017 y 2017-2018) and were detected 58 nesting attempts by the Campo Flicker and 99 by the Green-barred Woodpecker, accounting a total of 157 nesting attempts between both species. A total of 120 cavities were used in 111 trees, which were, in ~80% of the cases, Tala trees. Regarding this point, the Campo Flicker nested in trees and cavities that were greater than those used by the Green-barred Woodpecker. On the contrary, the Green-barred Woodpecker was prone to excavate a new cavity each year, a pattern not observed in the Campo Flicker. At a habitat scale, woodpeckers avoided less fragmented areas with higher vegetation cover at a habitat scale. Nevertheless, if compared with available trees, woodpeckers used trees that had an intermediate size and, moreover, used trees had lower wood density (~0,4 g/cm3) than available trees (~0,5 g/cm3). The Campo Flicker nested between mid-September and mid-January, built its cavities in, at least, 15 days and was single brooded, except pairs with a failed first attempt, which had a second attempt after the first one failed. Clutch size was 4 eggs, the incubation period lasted 11-12 days and nestlings remained in the nest between 28 and 31 days. Nestlings reached an asymptotic weight of 167 g and maximum growth was reached at an age of 7,0 days. In addition, nestling growth was negatively affected by each increment of cavity volume. The Green-barred Woodpecker nested between mid-September and early January, built its cavities in, at least, 21 days, was single brooded and a second attempt was found for breeding pairs with a failed first attempt. Clutch size was 4 eggs, incubation lasted 11-13 days and nestling period was 26-30 days. Nestlings reached an asymptotic weight of 119 g and reached their maximum growth when they were 7,4 days old. Both species nestlings were negatively affected by the presence of Philornis botfly larvae. In addition, younger nestlings within the brood had lower chance of survival and less maximum growth rate than their older brothers. An average Campo Flicker nest had a 38% chance of surviving the entire nesting cycle while this probability was 46% in the Green-barred Woodpecker. Daily survival rate (DSR) had a positive relationship with nest age in the Green-barred Woodpecker, but had its lower value at the hatching moment in the Campo Flicker, increasing again in the nestling stage. Moreover, in the Green-barred Woodpecker there was a DSR peak in the center of the breeding season and there was a negative relationship between time of breeding and DSR in the Campo Flicker. As a general point of view, species had similar clutch sizes, incubation periods and DSR variation was explained by the same variables. Although there were no habitat features that explained nest survival at a large scale, woodpeckers selected trees that had lower wood density than those available in the environment. This result suggests that indiscriminate tree logging could diminish the amount of trees with these characteristics (i.e. the preferred nesting features of these two woodpecker species). This thesis is proposed to be a detailed study of the breeding ecology of two Neotropical woodpecker species and the effects of habitat features in these. Simultaneously, it represents one of the first studies to exhaustively monitor these species populations within these latitudes.Doctor en Ciencias NaturalesUniversidad Nacional de La PlataFacultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
