Pteropus degener Peters 1876
No full textPteropus degener Peters, 1876 Peters, W.C.H. (1876) Mittheilung über die Pelzrobbe von den Inseln St. Paul und Amsterdam und über die von S.M.S. Gazelle mitgebrachten Flederthiere. Monatsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, 1876: 318 [315–319]. Valid name: Pteropus neohibernicus Peters, 1876 Holotype: ZMB 4996, skin and skull (damaged), male, adult (old); Aru Ids., Indonesia; collected by J. Cockerell; purchased from Gerrard. Comment: Andersen (1912: 389) suggested that P. degener is rather P. neohibernicus, and that the locality of P. degener was incorrect. This conclusion is supported by the fact that J. Cockerell, in the middle of the 1870s, accompanied the Rev. George Brown on a voyage to the Bismarck Archipelago, and he is not known to have collected in the Aru Islands. The geographic origin of the holotype (Aru Islands) was supplied by the dealer Gerrard and may actually be correct as discussed in Helgen (in prep.).Published as part of Turni, Hendrik & Kock, Dieter, 2008, Type specimens of bats (Chiroptera: Mammalia) in the collections of the Museum f r Naturkunde, Berlin, pp. 1-82 in Zootaxa 1869 (1) on page 15, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.1869.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/513364
Threatening communication: a critical re-analysis and a revised meta-analytic test of fear appeal theory
No full textDespite decades of research, consensus regarding the dynamics of fear appeals remains elusive. A meta-analysis was conducted that was designed to resolve this controversy. Publications that were included in previous meta-analyses were re-analysed, and a number of additional publications were located. The inclusion criteria were full factorial orthogonal manipulations of threat and efficacy, and measurement of behaviour as an outcome. Fixed and random effects models were used to compute mean effect size estimates. Meta-analysis of the six studies that satisfied the inclusion criteria clearly showed a significant interaction between threat and efficacy, such that threat only had an effect under high efficacy (d = 0.31), and efficacy only had an effect under high threat (d = 0.71). Inconsistency in results regarding the effectiveness of threatening communication can likely be attributed to flawed methodology. Proper tests of fear appeal theory yielded the theoretically hypothesised interaction effect. Threatening communication should exclusively be used when pilot studies indicate that an intervention successfully enhances efficacy
R.S. Peters' Comprehensive Theory of Moral Education
No full textThis article presents R.S. Peters’ theory of moral education embedded in his broad conception of morality. The author examines Peters’ views against the background of Kohlberg’s stage theory of moral development; hence, the positions of both thinkers are interwoven throughout the discussion. It addresses some central issues relevant to moral education such as, for example: cognitive and affective aspects of morality, and the acquisition of virtues. In the article the author argues that Peters’ account of moral development and moral education provides supplementation for the somewhat narrow theory developed by Kohlberg, thus establishing a broader framework relevant to moral education.status: Publishe

Solenodon cubanus Peters 1861
No full textSolenodon cubanus Peters, 1861 Peters, W.C.H. (1861) Bemerkungen über einen Solenodon cubanus. Monatsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, 1861: 169 [169]. Description and figures in: Peters, W.C.H. (1863) Ü ber die Sãugethiergattung Solenodon. Abhandlungen der Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, 1863: 1–22, Tafeln I–III. Valid name: Solenodon cubanus Peters, 1861 Lectotype (here designated): ZMB 2761 (adult female), skin, skull and skeleton, according to the catalogue entry by Peters collected from "Aguilera, am Abhange der Sierra Maestra, zwischen Cap Maisi und Cap Cruz" in Cuba by J. Gundlach, ded. by Sezekorn. Comments: Ottenwalder (2001) in his revision of the genus Solenodon considered an animal from Bayamo as the holotype: “ Holotype: Adult female from the mountains near Bayamo, Provincia Granma, Cuba; Berlin Academy of Sciences. Obtained by J. Gundlach.” This author possibly considered the specimen ZMB 4014, a female in alcohol collected near Bayamo, Cuba, by Gundlach (original catalogue entry). Together with a juvenile male (ZMB 4015) from the same collector and locality, ZMB 4014 was catalogued between 1867 and 1869, and therefore most probably after the publication of Peters (1861). Peters`description of S. cubanus however was based primarily on the female ZMB 2761. He also mentioned a male specimen from the mountains near Bayamo, Cuba, that had been described by Poey and which Peters included in his new species. He listed measurements (taken by Poey) of that specimen. According to the Code (ICZN 1999, article 73.2.1) it should be regarded as a syntype, together with ZMB 2761. The male specimen of Poey could not be located, and it is unknown whether it still exists in a collection. The specimens 2761 and 4014 had both been marked with a type symbol in the ZMB catalogue. However, this is for the latter specimen an error. We believe that specimens 4014 and 4015 have no type status. In addition, both are still completely preserved in alcohol and could not have served for Peters’ description, which includes a detailed analysis of the skeleton and the inner soft parts. Measurements and the plate published by Peters (Fig. 1) agree well with ZMB 2761, a now stuffed and mounted specimen with skull and skeleton preserved (Figs. 2 – 3). Therefore, we designate ZMB 2761 as lectotype for Solenodon cubanus.Published as part of Turni, Hendrik, Hutterer, Rainer & Asher, Robert, 2007, Type specimens of " insectivoran " mammals at the Museum für Naturkunde, Berlin, pp. 1-33 in Zootaxa 1470 on pages 10-11, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.27375
Distance Education in Transition: new trends and challenges. Author: Otto Peters
No full textI was delighted to be offered the chance to review this book because, although Professor Peters published Learning and Teaching in Distance Education: Pedagogical analyses and interpretations in an international perspective, in 1998, I hoped that this new volume would provide a new and different perspective on the most recent developments in distance education and in the role which Professor Peters has played in them. The subtitle of the new book, “New Trends and Challenges” seemed to justify my sense of anticipation. And to some extent the book does live up to expectations; it draws upon first-hand experience of the author as an online tutor who is clearly excited by the potential benefits of new technology for the teacher and, most importantly the learner
