Calliderma emma Gray 1847
No full textCalliderma emma Gray, 1847 Fig. 2 A Calliderma emma Gray 1847: 193; 1866: 6, pl. 15; Perrier 1894: 337; Liao and Clark 1996: 93 Pentagonaster (Calliderma) emma Perrier 1875: 226 (1876: 41) Calliderma spectabilis Fisher 1906: 1058; Chave and Malahoff 1998: 86; Liao and Clark 1996: 93; Mah 1998: 67 Taxonomic comments. Liao and Clark (1995) distinguished between Calliderma spectabilis Fisher 1906 and C. emma Gray 1847 on the basis of presence/absence of sharp spines on the radial abactinal plate regions (spines present on C. spectabilis). Liao and Clark (1995) argued that differences between the two species were slight and that the radial abactinal spines in C. emma were artefactually absent, thus removing the most significance difference between the two species. Examination of C. emma / C. spectabilis specimens, further supports their hypothesis that the two species are synonyms. Liao and Clark’s (1995) synonymy is adopted herein. In situ observations. Although not observed feeding, Calliderma occurs widely and is a subject of some fossil study (e.g., Villier et al. 2004) and as such, its living in situ life mode is considered herein. Calliderma emma [called C. spectabilis by Fisher (1906), see taxonomic note] is observed in many HURL images of the Hawaiian deep-sea benthos. All of the images observed show individuals on fine to coarse grained sediment in a diversity of current regimes (e.g., Fig. 4 A). None were observed on hard bottoms. Rays of this species were always splayed out on the bottoms with the arm tips upturned into the water. Only individual animals were observed in images reviewed with no other C. emma individuals present within the field of view. One image (M- 211 -036) showed C. emma in relatively close proximity (within 2 feet / 1 meter) distance to multiple aspidodiadematid echinoids but no interaction was evident (Fig. 4 A). Occurrence.

No full textEstimation of coital frequency and condom use from cross-sectional survey data
No full textCoital frequency is an important theoretical determinant of the rate at which an STI can spread through a population. Differences in frequency of sex may bias measures of condom use based on survey data because survey respondents who have infrequent sex and those who have frequent sex contribute equally to commonly used measures of condom use. Data on sexual behaviour are widely available from surveys but detailed information on coital frequency is seldom collected. This thesis examines the available information, examines the utility of a method to make the most use of existing data and investigates whether condom use measures are biased by differences in coital frequency using, for the most part, data from Australia and Tanzania. The existing data and literature show a lack of information on coital frequency for men and for unmarried people. Certain factors are correlated with coital frequency but there are no stable patterns of variation between different populations. Data from Australia and Tanzania show that condom use and coital frequency both vary according to the types of partnership for which they are reported. Further analysis of commonly used measures of condom use shows that these measure are influenced by differences in coital frequency and demonstrates that additional measures, describing the proportion of sex acts protected by condoms, provide complementary information. The scarcity of data on coital frequency is unlikely to be resolved by using the more widely available information on time since most recent sex. Although it is theoretically possible to work backwards from this to the number of sex acts in a given time period, this does not work in practice. Recommendations are made for improved methods to collect coital frequency information in large-scale surveys of the general population
Rational ellipticity of G-manifolds from their quotients
No full textWe prove that if a compact, simply connected Riemannian G-manifold M has orbit space M/G isometric to some other quotient N/H with N having zero topological entropy, then M is rationally elliptic. This result, which generalizes most conditions on rational ellipticity, is a particular case of a more general result involving manifold submetries. © The Author(s), 2025
To Tell or Not to Tell: Disclosure Experiences and Perceived Microaggressions Among Adopted Adolescents With Lesbian, Gay, and Heterosexual Parents
No full textThere is limited research on stigma experiences and disclosure practices among adolescents who: (a) are adopted, (b) who have LGBTQ+ parents, and (c) who are sexual or gender minorities themselves. At a time when LGBTQ+ identities are both increasingly visible and also publicly debated, we conducted interviews with 50 adolescents (M age = 14.86 years) in 12 two-father, 20 two-mother, and 18 father/mother families. Following protocols approved by Clark University’s Institutional Review Board and through the frameworks of sexual stigma, microaggressions, and communication privacy management, we used thematic analysis to explore themes of disclosure practices, peer responses to disclosure, and parent responses to sexual and gender identity disclosure. Adolescents described various disclosure decisions around their adoptive status, LGBTQ+ parent family structure, and their own sexual and gender identities, ranging from rare to reactive to proactive disclosure. Such decisions were in some cases shaped by the intersections among participants’ race, gender, and family structure. Participants often selectively disclosed because of concerns related to privacy and negative peer reactions. Many adolescents reported instances of microaggressions from peers around their identities. Parent reactions to their children’s sexual and gender identity disclosure were more complex than peers’ reactions. Findings have implications for therapists and other professionals working with adolescents and their families. © The Author(s) 2024
Calvadosia Clark 1863
No full textGenus Calvadosia Clark, 1863 Remarks. Calvadosia was originally proposed by Clark (1863) to accommodate a species described by Lamouroux (1815), “ Lucernaire campanulée ” (or Lucernaria campanulata), from Calvados, France, therefore proposing the name Calvadosia campanulata (Lamouroux, 1815). Its main difference from other Lucernaria is the “four pilasters […] not muscular, as are the pilasters in the pedicel of Lucernaria quadricornis ” (Clark 1863: 556), i.e., absence of interradial longitudinal muscles associated with the septa of the peduncle. However, Clark’s (1863) proposal was overlooked for many years. Later, Uchida (1929) proposed a new genus, Lucernariopsis, for the same “ Lucernaria campanulata ”, including species with one-chambered peduncle without muscles, overlooking the availability of the older name Calvadosia Clark, 1863. Apparently, Gwilliam (1956: 10) was the only author to notice this nomenclatural issue, concluding that according to the “law of priority, the proper generic name of Lucernariopsis Uchida, 1929 is Calvadosia Clark, 1863 ”, but he never published his PhD Dissertation on the taxonomy of the Stauromedusae. More recently, Lucernariopsis Uchida, 1929 was officially recognized as a synonym of Calvadosia Clark, 1863 (Miranda et al. 2016b). In addition, based on molecular and morphological evidence, the former genera Kishinouyea Mayer, 1910 and Sasakiella Okubo, 1917 were also incorporated into Calvadosia (Miranda et al. 2016b). Therefore, Calvadosia is currently one of the most diverse genera in Staurozoa, with 11 species: Calvadosia campanulata (Lamouroux, 1815), Calvadosia nagatensis (Oka, 1897), Calvadosia vanhoeffeni (Browne, 1910), Calvadosia cruciformis (Okubo, 1917), Calvadosia hawaiiensis (Edmondson, 1930), Calvadosia tsingtaoensis (Ling, 1937), Calvadosia capensis (Carlgren, 1938), Calvadosia cruxmelitensis (Corbin, 1978), Calvadosia corbini (Larson, 1980), Calvadosia tasmaniensis (Zagal, Hirano, Mills, Edgar & Barrett, 2011), and Calvadosia lewisi sp. nov. described in this study.Published as part of Miranda, Lucília S., Branch, George M., Collins, Allen G., Hirano, Yayoi M., Marques, Antonio C. & Griffiths, Charles L., 2017, Stalked jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Staurozoa) of South Africa, with the description of Calvadosia lewisi sp. nov., pp. 369-389 in Zootaxa 4227 (3) on pages 371-372, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4227.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/26834
