Palali, Maddianggat Village, 1436 m a.s.l., 16 ° 27 ' 24.1 " N, 121 ° 13 ' 17 " E, 5.I. 2010, primary upper montane forest, ex log nest, leg. P.A.C. Buenavente (PNM 8980) (deposited in PNM).Paratypes: 22 workers with same data as holotype (PNM 8981 9002) (one pin each to: ANIC, BMNH, CASC, DMGC, NHMW, PACB, UPLB; two pins to MCZC; the rest to PNM). Description of holotype worker: CI 88, EI 18, EL 0.16, HFL 1.3, HL 1.03, HW 0.90, ML 1.40, MtL 1.85, PW 0.73, SI 108, SL 0.98, TL 5.43. With all the character states of the genus. Body, except gaster and appendages, heavily sculptured. Head alveolate, each cavity bearing an erect or suberect hair. Mesosoma, petiole, and postpetiole alveolate with superimposed rugae. Mandible, median clypeus, and gaster smooth. First gastral tergite slightly less than half the length of gaster. Description of paratype workers: CI 84 95, EI 16 19, EL 0.15 0.18, HFL 1.15 1.35, HL 0.98 1.08, HW 0.88 0.95, ML 1.38 1.50, MtL 1.75 1.93, PW 0.73 0.78, SL 0.88 1.03, TL 5.28 5.74 (17 measured). Bionomics: This species was found when a rotten log on the forest floor containing its nest was disturbed in the dying light of late afternoon. Some foragers were collected by hand from nearby after the nest series of workers and brood were collected. Etymology: This species is dedicated to my friend and colleague, Perry Archival C. Buenavente, researcher of the National Museum of the Philippines, who tirelessly surveys ant diversity in the Philippines and collected the type nest series.Published as part of David Emmanuel M.

(Figs. 7 12) Type material: Holotype worker, Philippines: Luzon Island, Sorsogon Province, Municipality of Bulusan, Bulusan Volcano Natural Park, Aguingay Lake, Southwest Ridge, 900 m a.s.l., 12 ° 46 ' 13 " N124 ° 04' 16 " E, 9.VI. 2014, secondary forest, ex leaf litter, leg. R. Clouse (PNM 9004) (deposited in PNM).Paratypes: 2 workers with same data as holotype;2 workers with same data as holotype except 10.VI. 2014 (PNM 9005 9008) (one pin each to: ANIC, BMNH, MCZC, UPLB). Description of holotype worker: CI 87, EI 23, EL 0.19, HFL 1.13, HL 0.95, HW 0.83, ML 1.38, MtL 1.23, PW 0.68, SI 103, SL 0.85, TL 4.65. With all the character states of the genus. Body mostly smooth. Scattered punctures over the head and mesosoma bear long erect to suberect hairs. First gastral tergite (= abdominal tergite IV) huge, accounting for most of the length of gaster. Description of paratype workers: CI 84 89, EI 20 24, EL 0.16 0.20, HFL 1.10 1.15, HL 0.93 0.98, HW 0.80 0.84, ML 1.33 1.40, MtL 1.13 1.23, PW 0.68 0.73, SI 97 106, SL 0.80 0.88, TL 4.55 4.76 (4 measured). Bionomics: This species was collected by leaf litter sifting. It forages diurnally as individuals in the leaf litter. Etymology: This species is dedicated to my good friend Ronald M. Clouse who collected all the type specimens. Discussion This genus has been collected at high elevations only on Luzon Island (Fig. 13) (elevations of surveys in parentheses): (a) Sorsogon Province, Municipality of Bulusan, Bulusan Volcano Natural Park (900 m a.s.l.); (b) Camarines Sur Province, Naga City, Panicuason Village, Mt. Isarog Natural Park (1550 m a.s.l.); and (c) Nueva Vizcaya Province, Municipality of Quezon, Madianggat Village, Mt. Palali (1436 m a.s.l.). Historical collections from other highelevation localities in the Philippines by C.F. Baker, C.S. Banks, W.L. Brown, Jr., J.W. Chapman, H.M. Curran, D. Empeso, R.C. MacGregor, H.M. Torrevillas, and F.X. Williams do not contain any specimens of Aretidris (GENERAL & ALPERT 2012; G.D. Alpert, pers. comm.; SHATTUCK & al. 2014; WHEELER & CHAPMAN 1925). Recent collections from lowelevation localities on Luzon Island and highelevation localities on other islands by P.A.C. Buenavente, R.M. Clouse, P. Sharma, A.C. Diesmos, A. Reginaldo, and myself do not contain Aretidris ants either. Although only a few other localities have been sampled for the presence of these ants, it appears that Aretidris ants are restricted to high elevations. More localities need to be sampled to establish the range of these ants and the occurrence of other species.Published as part of David Emmanuel M.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
