Tricrania murrayi LeConte 1860: 320; Henshaw 1885: 130; Borchmann 1917: 172; Leng 1920: 160; Blackwelder 1939: 35; Linsley & MacSwain 1951: 92; Hatch 1965: 116; Campbell 1991: 265 NEW SYNONOMY Nomenclatural note. This species has been denoted by several names. The specific epithet was changed by Borchmann in 1917 from stansburii to stansburyi. Although the specific epithet honors Howard Stansbury, Haldeman used the spelling stansburii, thus, under Article 33.4 of the ICZN, stansburyi is an incorrect subsequent spelling and unavailable. No justification was given by Borchmann for the change. Following examination of the type of T. murrayi and observations of the internal and external morphology of T. stansburii, we concluded that T. murrayi is indeed a synonym of T. stansburii. Type material. Holotype— T. murrayi (MCZ): 184; T. murrayi Lec., Oregon; type 4951 [red label] Adult redescription. Length: 8–14mm (mean = 12mm, N= 20), width 3–6mm (mean = 4mm, N= 20). Overall, body moderately convex; elongate. Body coloration black with brick-red elytra, head often with orange-red area on center of vertex, and apices of maxillary and labial palpi also orange-red; some specimens with variable dark maculations on elytra (see variation below). Body distinctly setose with stiff, erect black setae. Cuticular surface moderately to distinctly shining. Head broadly triangular (W:L = 1.55: 1); surface coarsely densely punctuate with irregular shaped punctures. Punctures ~ 3 diameters of eye facet; inner surface of puncture granular; each puncture gives rise medially to a single semi-erect or decumbent seta; interspaces between punctures narrow, 550 unique collecting events for T. stansburii suggest a similar but slightly longer peak in adult activity as compared to T. sanguinipennis, beginning in late March and ending in late May. The peak in adult activity in T. stansburii occurs later in the season than T. sanguinipennis, with nearly as many recorded collecting events in May as in April, whereas in T. sanguinipennis there is a marked declivity in adult activity from April to May. The later shift of adult activity in T. stansburii may correspond to persistent cooler temperatures across its range, elevational effects from montane regions in western North America, and the later occurrence of some of the host bee genera parasitized by this species. Further studies are needed to support these hypotheses. 1 Hicks 1926, 2 Linsley & MacSwain 1951, 3 Werner et al 1966, 4 Torchio & Bosch 1992, authors pers. obs. or label data from Appendix 3 below, 5 slide mounted triungulins from EMEC and MTEC. *These records do not necessarily reflect rearing records.Published as part of Cline, Andrew R. & Huether, Jeffrey P., 2011, Revision of the nearctic blister beetle genus Tricrania LeConte, 1860 (Coleoptera: Meloidae: Nemognathinae), pp. 1-43 in Zootaxa 2832 on pages 11-14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20053
Tricrania sanguinipennis Say 1824
No full textTricrania sanguinipennis (Say) 1824: 279 Horia sanguinipennis Say 1824: 279 Tricrania sanguinipennis: LeConte 1860: 320; Henshaw 1885: 130; Wellman 1910 a: 219; Blatchley 1910: 1354; Borchmann 1917: 172; Leng 1920: 160; Blackwelder 1939: 35; MacSwain 1956: 136; Campbell 1991: 265 Type material. Say’s unique type specimen was presumably destroyed with his collection, and could not be located after an exhaustive search of museums and institutions. The authors expected the type to be located at the American Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian Institution, or the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia. A neotype has not been designated as there has not been an exceptional need to do so (see Article 75.3 of the ICZN). The original type locality is Pennsylvania. Adult redescription. Length: 8.5–15mm (mean = 11.5mm, N= 20), width 3.5–5.5mm (mean = 4mm, N= 20). Overall, body robust, nearly parallel-sided, convex, dark black to piceous with elytra brick-red, but elytra fading to a dull orange after death. Body surface covered with short black setae, most setae decumbent but sometimes erect on elytra, elytra more sparsely covered with setae than rest of body. Head broadly triangular (W:L = 1.3: 1); surface deeply densely punctate with irregular shaped punctures, some punctures coalescing. Punctures 1–2.5 diameter of eye facet; inner surface of punctures finely microreticulate; each puncture gives rise medially to an elongate fine decumbent seta; interspaces smooth to slightly granular, shining, 300 unique collecting events for T. sanguinipennis suggest a peak in adult activity from March through early May; beginning near mid-March and extending into early-May. Notes. This species was originally described from a single specimen by Say (1824), who remarked that, “…it must be rare, only a single specimen having yet occurred”. Although rare in collections, we note here that this species is locally abundant, being collected in great abundance in sandy locations, but is temporally ephemeral in occurrence. Enns (1956) inferred that this species was restricted to the single Hymenoptera genus Colletes; however as noted in Table 1, triungulins of this species are phoretic on at least three bee genera. The first instar larval description and diagnosis has been previously completed in detail (MacSwain 1956, Parker & Boving 1924), and will not be repeated herein; however, illustrations are provided (Figs. 22, 24, 26, & 28). We have included molecular sequence data, i.e. COI barcode region, in Appendix 4 as an initial step to promote further explorations on the biology, systematics, and evolution of this species.

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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
