No full textAnacroneuria patioba n. sp. (Figs. 4A–F) Type material. Holotype, male: BR, BA: EEEWG, Riacho Patioba, S13°34'50'', W39°42'17'', 09.x.2010, light pan trap, AC et al. col. Paratypes: same data as holotype, 4 males. Description. A small sized species. Holotype, male: forewing length, 11,5 mm. Paratypes, males (n= 4): forewing length, 11–11.5 mm (s= 0.27). General color pale yellowish. Head and pronotum yellowish; head with inconspicuous M-line, central frons area yellowish, clypeus and occiput pale yellowish (Fig. 4A), darker in teneral specimens (Fig. 4B). Antennae ochraceous, scape with dark spot laterally. Palpi pale yellowish. Pronotum with two dark strips laterally, anterior corners rounded, posterior corners rounded (Fig. 4A). Membrane and veins of wings conspicuous. Legs pale yellowish with dark strip in distal part of the femur. Cerci ochraceous. Sternum IX with small bristles on posterior area. Hammer simple, truncate cone (Fig. 4C). Penial armature (Figs. 4D, E, F) with pair of large distal vesicles. In lateral view, terminal tube slightly raised, distal region curved, a pair of latero-inferior lobes (Fig. 4D). In dorsal view, terminal tube short, with narrow base (Fig. 4F). Hooks regularly curved and acute apically. Female and nymph. Unknown. Remarks. The penial armature of A. patioba resembles that of A. cathia Froehlich, 2002, however the new species has a shorter aedeagal apex and obliquely shaped shoulders (Fig. 4 D-F). The aedeagus of A. cathia has the apex longer and the shoulders are not obliquely shaped. Additionally, the color patterns are different, pale yellowish in A. patioba, and light-medium brown in A. cathia (Froehlich, 2002). We collected a teneral specimen with remants of gills in thoracic segments, milky wings, and a dark head. Etymology. The name Patioba refers to the stream where the specimens were collected. The name is used as a noun in apposition.Published as part of Almeida, Lucas Henrique De & Duarte, Tácio, 2017, A new species and records of Anacroneuria (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from the Ecological Station, Wenceslau Guimarães, State of Bahia, Brazil, pp. 480-486 in Zootaxa 4247 (4) on pages 483-484, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4247.4.9, http://zenodo.org/record/43890

Description. A small sized species. Holotype, male: forewing length, 11 mm. Paratypes, males (n= 19): forewing length, 10–11 mm; females (n= 16): forewing length, 15–17 mm. General color light brown. Head and pronotum light brown (specimens from Ubajara) to yellowish (specimens from Crato); central frons area brown in males (specimens from Ubajara), yellowish in females; clypeus and occiput ochraceous to yellowish (Figs. 2A, B, C). Antennae with scape brownish, lighter basally; pedicel and flagellum brownish. Palpi light brown. Pronotum light brown, two strips darker laterally and lighter median strip; anterior corners rounded, posterior corners rounded. Membrane and veins of wings brownish (Fig. 2D). Legs ochraceous with dark strip in distal part of the femur. Cerci light brown. Male. Sternum IX with dark posterior strip; row of thick bristles in lateral corners (Fig. 3A). Hammer simple truncate cone. Penial armature (Figs. 3B, C, D) with pair of large distal vesicles. In dorsal view, terminal tube opens into a long gonopore, conical at base (Fig. 3C). Gonopore robust in lateral view, distal region curved, median region sinuous with a small elevation (Fig. 3D). Hooks regularly curved and acute apically. Female. Subgenital plate ochraceous, 4-lobed; lateral lobes larger than median lobes, sinuous (Fig. 3E). Sternum VIII with thick bristles laterally; median lobes with small sclerotized band. Sternum IX with field of long bristles. Egg conical, simple (Fig. 3F). Remarks. All specimens from Serra da Ibiapaba, Ubajara have the head and pronotum light brown, whereas specimens from Crato are more yellowish. However, specimens from both localities have identical penial armature. The penial armature resembles to that of A. terere, however the median region of the terminal tube in A. calori is sinuous with a small point whereas in A. terere it is concave. In addition, the distal vesicles are present in A. calori and absent in A. terere. The female lateral lobes resemble A. cathia Froehlich, 2002, A. rondoniae Froehlich, 2002, and A. subcostalis Klapálek, 1921. However, in A. calori the median notch is not as wide and not as deep. Etymology. The specific name calori is in honor to Dr. Adolfo R. Calor for his contributions to the knowledge of aquatic insects of Brazil. The name is a noun in apposition.Published as part of Duarte, Tácio & Lecci, Lucas Silveira, 2016, New species and records of Anacroneuria (Plecoptera: Perlidae) from the northeastern semi-arid region of Brazil in Zootaxa 4079 (2) on pages 294-297, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4079.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/105059
Is global ocean sprawl a cause of jellyfish blooms?
Get PDFJellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) blooms appear to be increasing in both intensity and frequency in many coastal areas worldwide, due to multiple hypothesized anthropogenic stressors. Here, we propose that the proliferation of artificial structures – associated with (1) the exponential growth in shipping, aquaculture, and other coastal industries, and (2) coastal protection (collectively, “ocean sprawl”) – provides habitat for jellyfish polyps and may be an important driver of the global increase in jellyfish blooms. However, the habitat of the benthic polyps that commonly result in coastal jellyfish blooms has remained elusive, limiting our understanding of the drivers of these blooms. Support for the hypothesized role of ocean sprawl in promoting jellyfish blooms is provided by observations and experimental evidence demonstrating that jellyfish larvae settle in large numbers on artificial structures in coastal waters and develop into dense concentrations of jellyfish-producing polyps<br/
Desencanto da nova terra: assentamento no município de Lucas do Rio Verde-MT na década de 80
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em Sociologia PolíticaA presente dissertação é um estudo de caso que tem como campo empírico de investigação o Projeto Especial de Assentamento Lucas do Rio Verde - MT. O assentamento ocorreu no princípio da década de oitenta, fazendo parte de uma política macro-estrutural de migração e colonização das terras da Amazônia, incorporando as "regiões anecúmenas" ou os "espaços vazios" aos centros produtores de capital e de trabalho. Lucas do Rio Verde foi um caso especial porque serviu como tentativa de desestruturação do acampamento de agricultores sem terra da Encruzilhada Natalino no município de Ronda Alta - RS. O objetivo que orientou o trabalho foi a compreensão das causas do abandono das terras pelos assentados em Lucas do Rio Verde, após um período de enfrentamentos conflituais e de luta pela terra na Encruzilhada Natalino. Para alcançar tal finalidade, buscamos em primeiro lugar explicitar a modernização do campo, iniciada nos anos 60, como processo de exclusão social, pano de fundo do fenômeno estudado. Neste sentido, compreende-se que a modernização não foi somente um encaminhamento para elevar a produtividade no setor agrícola, mas foi fundamentalmente um fenômeno conflitual entre a possibilidade de o agricultor permanecer incorporado ao sistema produtivo ou de ser excluído deste. Nos anos 80, reiniciaram as resistências, após o período de maior perseguição política promovida pelo Estado-militar brasileiro. As resistências se caracterizavam como formas coletivizadas de ocupação e acampamento em beira de estradas, de reivindicação e de proposição de políticas de concretização da reforma agrária. Esta iniciativa começou a caracterizar o movimento dos agricultores sem terra, que as ciências sociais englobam como um movimento social, tendo como orientação básica a destruição da estrutura agrária brasileira, caracterizada historicamente pelo seu caráter excludente e concentrador. Em resposta ao movimento dos agricultores sem terra, o Estado, juntamente com a elite política e econômica, através do INCRA, promove uma orientação em contraposição às reivindicações dos acampados. A ação e o discurso do Estado voltou-se para a colonização da região da Amazônia, caracterizando-se como uma contra-reforma agrária. Após a ocorrência do fenômeno de transferência de 203 famílias do Acampamento da Encruzilhada Natalino para Lucas do Rio Verde, começa ocorrer um processo de abandono da terra. Para explicitar as causas do abandono, buscou-se as razões junto aos próprios assentados, através de entrevistas para captar a sua história de vida, as representações e as disposições que criaram. A orientação metodológica básica foi a consideração da coexistência de situações estruturais ou objetivas e subjetivas-valorativas que influenciaram na configuração do fenômeno estudado. Não se partiu de um determinismo econômico ou estrutural, mas da pressuposição de que em condições e situações circunstanciais os agentes sociais envolvidos no drama que caracterizou o cenário da colonização, foram conduzidos pelas suas vontades, avaliações e orientações, num determinado instante, a decidir pelo abandono da terra. Em Lucas do Rio Verde, a justificativa explicativa dos agricultores assentados para elucidar as razões do abandono da terra estão voltadas principalmente para a resistência ao fenômeno da violência e da perseguição que caracterizaram o início do assentamento. A violência e a corrupção foram as principais causas da revolta, do desânimo e da desesperança dos assentados. A situação de saudades do passado, da necessidade e as dificuldades de reconstrução do espaço social, educativo e religioso tornavam-se superáveis frente à utopia de construção de um futuro promissor. A razão principal do abandono foi o medo e o terror espalhados nos sertões do cerrado mato-grossense nos inícios dos anos 80, ironicamente quando já se falava em terceiro milênio, em sociedade pós-industrial e pós-moderna
Transition from Fluid to Solid Concrete in the Flexible Mould Process
No full textThe transition period between the mixing of concrete and the begin of setting increasingly receives attention, as special production processes can be developed with tailor-made fresh state characteristics. In this publication the two processes of 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) and the production with the Flexible Mould Process (FMP) are discussed and compared. The FMP is a relatively new manufacturing method that was developed to allow the efficient production of curved thin concrete panels for cladding or structural use. The term ‘flexible’ refers to the deformation into the required curved shape of both the compliant mould surface and the fresh concrete contained by the mould shortly after casting. After that deformation, both the mould and the concrete are left for further hardening until demoulding is possible. The development of the 3DCP technique progresses fast, hereby new perspectives are gained with regard to mix design, production and structural performance. Sideway, test methods need to be developed or re-evaluated. The early age strength and strain capacity are important parameters for both processes, although they are not the same with regard to magnitude, period or time after mixing. Both processes can be executed within an open window and with specific boundary conditions only. This publication discusses and compares both processes. The implications of these recent findings are translated to practical aspects with regard to the production with the FMP.Accepted Author ManuscriptConcrete StructuresApplied Mechanic

Padula.</p> <p> <i>Distribution:</i> Originally described from the northern Spain (Ortea, 1979; Rolán <i>et al</i>., 1991), this species has also been reported from southern Spain (García- Gómez, 1987; Cervera <i>et al</i>., 2006), southern Portugal (Cervera <i>et al</i>., 2006), Canary Islands (Pérez Sánchez & Moreno, 1990; Moro <i>et al</i>., 1995, 2003; Ortea <i>et al</i>., 2001, 2003; present study), Bahamas (Redfern, 2001; present study) and Brazil (Padula & Absalão, 2005).</p> <p> <i>External morphology:</i> The body is elongate and slender, with a short posterior end of the foot (Fig. 1C). Living animals are 10–25 mm in length. The anterior margin of the foot is elongate, tentaculiform foot corners are bilabiate and slightly notched. The body colour is dull violet but can range from a translucent light pink to purple. A short opaque white or yellowish patch extends medially from the anterior end of the head to just behind the rhinophores. The moderately long cerata are cylindrical and taper distally. They are dark blue, with a yellow upper and unequal dorsolateral surface as well as a subapical orange band. The apex is translucent white. The cerata are densely distributed and are arranged in 22–30 oblique rows, extending from the rear of rhinophores almost to the end of the foot, even continuing along the lateral sides of the pericardial area. Each row contains 2–4 cerata, with the larger ones being situated more dorsally and decreasing in size towards the foot.</p> <p>The rhinophores have a more intense violet colour than the ground colour of the body, but the apex and the anterior side of the rachis are pale yellow. They share a common base, are perfoliate and have 20–29 lamellae each. The apex and a line that runs medially along the posterior face of each rhinophore is yellowish white. The oral tentacles are elongate and acutely pointed. They are the same colour as the ground colour with an opaque white tip. The tentacular anterior foot corners are pinkish purple throughout. The pleuroproctic anus is located ventral to the notal brim about one-third of the body length from the anterior end. The nephroproct is anterior to the anus. The genital aperture is located below notal brim between the fourth and ninth cerata.</p> <p> <i>Buccal armature:</i> The jaws (Fig. 4A, B) are tanbrown. The masticatory border of the jaws bears 2–4 rows of denticles that increase in number and size towards the edge. The radular formula of the five dissected specimens is 18 ¥ 0.1.0. (MNCN 15.05/ 46706), 14 ¥ 0.1.0 (MNCN 15.05/46705), 14 ¥ 0.1.0 (MNCN 15.05/46703), 16 ¥ 0.1.0 (MNCN 15.05/46702) and 29 ¥ 0.1.0 (IBUFRJ 14229). The rachidian tooth (Fig. 4C, D) is broad with narrow, triangular central cusp. There are 6–10 elongate, acutely pointed denticles on either side of the central cusp. The number of denticles is equal on either side. None of the denticles shares a common base. No denticles are found laterally from the cusp and in no instance extend onto the cusp.</p> <p> <i>Reproductive system:</i> It has an androdiaulic arrangement (Fig. 3C) and was examined in four specimens (two from the Strait of Gibraltar: MNCN 15.05 /46702, MNCN 15.05 /46703, one from the Canary Islands: MNCN 15.05 /46705, one from the Bahamas: MNCN 15./46706 and one from Brazil: IBUFRJ 14229). All were virtually identical in all aspects of their morphology. The narrow elongate preampullary duct widens into the convoluted ampulla. The ampulla consists of two folds and narrows again before dividing into the oviduct and vas deferens. The vas deferens widens into a glandular prostatic portion that consists of numerous convolutions that cover the penial sac. The prostatic portion enters the wider proximal portion of the penial sac. The unarmed penial papilla is contained within the penial sac, and it is elongate and conical in shape, and the sac is usually curved. It narrows to rounded apex and exists adjacent to the rounded, straight bursa copulatrix. The oviduct is elongate and connects to the pyriform receptaculum seminis. The other portion of the oviduct emerges from the base of the receptaculum and, after a short distance, enters the small albumen gland. The membrane gland is similar in size than the albumen gland. The mucous gland is much larger than the other two female glands and exits ventral to the penis and bursa copulatrix.</p> <p> <i>Remarks:</i> The external morphology and colouration of <i>Babakina anadoni</i> were described from of a single specimen from the northern Spain (Ortea, 1979). Ortea erected the new genus <i>Rioselleolis</i> to accommodate this species and considered that this genus should be included in a separate family, without proposing a new family. Rolán <i>et al</i>. (1991) transferred this species to the genus <i>Babakina</i>, based on additional material and personal communications with R. Roller.</p> <p> Our specimens match the external appearance described by Ortea (1979), although some Canarian specimens appear to have a lighter ground body colouration than those from the coast of Spain. Moreover, the features of the radula and jaws described by Rolán, Rolán-Alvarez & Ortea (1991) fit well with those specimens dissected here from eastern and western Atlantic. The reproductive system is described for the first time here, and does not vary significantly in any of the specimens examined. Redfern (2001) collected a single specimen of <i>Babakina</i> from Bahamas (western Atlantic), which attributed to <i>B. festiva</i>. He described the external appearance only, which is very similar to specimens from the eastern Atlantic. The internal anatomy of Redfern’s specimen (present study), as well as that of the Brazilian specimens, agrees with that of <i>B. anadoni</i> collected from the eastern Atlantic. Thus, we conclude that his specimen belongs to this species rather than <i>B. festiva</i>.</p> <p> Gosliner (1990) questioned whether the three nominal species of the genus are distinct and may refer only to one biological species. However, after completing a comparative examination of material it is evident that <i>B. anadoni</i> is a valid species. Externally, <i>B. anadoni</i> can be recognized from other species by the presence of a subapical band of yellow followed by another more distal band of orange. This species has symmetrically arranged denticles on either side of the central cusp as in <i>B. caprinsulensis</i>. The other two species have an asymmetrical arrangement of denticles. Several reproductive characters clearly distinguish this species from other <i>Babakina</i> (Table 1). The penis of <i>B. anadoni</i> is elongate as in <i>B. festiva</i>. However, the bursa copulatrix is rounded as in <i>B. caprinsulensis</i>, except that the duct is straight in <i>B. anadoni</i> rather than curved.</p>Published as part of <i>Gosliner, Terrence M., González-Duarte, Manuel M. & Cervera, Juan Lucas, 2007, Revision of the systematics of Babakina Roller, 1973 (Mollusca: Opisthobranchia) with the description of a new species and a phylogenetic analysis, pp. 671-689 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 151 (4)</i> on pages 676-678, DOI: 10.1111/j.1096-3642.2007.00331.x, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10114578">http://zenodo.org/record/10114578</a>

Do people really adapt to marriage?
Get PDFAlthough cross-sectional studies have shown a reliable association between marital status and subjective well-being, a recent longitudinal study (Lucas, Clark, Georgellis, & Diener, 2003) found no support for the idea that happiness increases after marriage. Instead, participants who got married reported short-term increases followed by complete adaptation back to baseline levels of well-being. However, researchers have criticized this study on two grounds. First, these results contradict cohort-based analyses from a nationally representative sample. Second, these analyses do not control for pre-marriage cohabitation, which could potentially inflate baseline levels of well-being. The original data (plus four additional waves) are reanalyzed to address these concerns. Results confirm that individuals do not get a lasting boost in life satisfaction following marriage.life satisfaction anticipation ; habituation ; marriage ; cohabitation
