Astrotischeria occidentalis
No full textAstrotischeria occidentalis (Braun, 1872) (Figs. 13, 230–232, 233) Tischeria occidentalis BRAUN, 1872: 73–75 Astrotischeria occidentalis (BRAUN); DIŠKUS & PUPLESIS (2003: 428). Diagnosis. The species belongs to the Astrotischeria trilobata group. The combination of the very slender and long lobes of uncus, and the unique dorsal lobes of valva in the male genitalia (see Fig. 13) distinguishes A.occidentalis from all other Astrotischeria, including other members of the A. trilobata group. The fact that it feeds on Aster also makes this species distinctive. Male. Wingspan about 7–8 mm. For a description see Braun 1972: 73, 74. Male genitalia (Figs. 13, 230–232).

Astrotischeria ambrosiaeella (CHAMbERS); DIŠKUS & PUPLESIS (2003: 427). Material examined. 1 ♂, 1 ♀, USA: Missouri, Kirkwood, St. Louis, mining larvae on Ambrosia trifida (Asteraceae), 13.ix.1886, ex. pupa 9.i.1890, Lord Walshingham Collection (BMNH); 1 ♂, 1 ♀, same label but without host-plant data, [leg. Miss Murtfeldt], Lord Walshingham Collection, genitalia slide nos 28951 ♂, 28962 ♀ (BMNH). Diagnosis. The species belongs to the Astrotischeria trilobata group. The combination of the very distinctive, unique, horn-shaped dorsal lobes of valva (see Figs. 226–228), unique shape of the phallus (see Fig. 229), and a rather large but short uncus in the male genitalia distinguishes A. ambrosiaeella from all other Astrotischeria, including other members of the A. trilobata group. The fact that it feeds on Ambrosia also makes this species rather distinctive. Male (Fig. 225). Forewing about 3.5–3.6 mm; wingspan about 7.5–7.7 mm. For a description see Braun Braun 1972: 77, 78. Female. Similar to male. Male genitalia (Figs. 226–229). Desribed in Braun 1972: 78. Female genitalia. Described and illustrated in Braun 1972: 78, Fig. 39 (only apophyses and prela). Bionomics. Host plants: Ambrosia trifida L., A. artemisiifolia L., also possibly A. psilostachya DC. (Braun 1972). Leaf mine is an irregular, elongated blotch, usually between two veins (illustrated in Braun 1972: Fig. 49).

Astrotischeria trilobata Stonis, Diškus, Filho & Lewis, 2018, sp. nov.
No full textThe Astrotischeria trilobata species group (designated here) Diagnostics: forewing varied, from rather dark, densely speckled with grey-brown scales to ochre-yellow, sparsely irrorated with brown or black, brown and ochre scales; the latter may form irregular, indistinct obligue stripes or blotches. In the male genitalia, valva with one, usually slender ventral and two shorter, but usually pointed and curved dorsal lobes; the latter lobes are best visible from the lateral view (Figs. 4–19); the second dorsal lobe can be rather indistinct, variously developed in some species. Basal process of valva long or very long. Uncus short and with four lobes (two slender, longer lateral lobes, and usually rounded, shorter median ones) except for one species, A. onae Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov., which possesses a rather long, bilobed uncus. Gnathos absent. Anellus prominent, laterally thickened (sometimes very strongly), with a few lateral setae; distally anellus usually with weakly chitinized, rounded lobes. Phallus very slender, apically widened and bifurcated. Female genitalia with well-developed prela which sometimes are greatly prolonged or in the shape of a chitinized plate proximally. Ductus spermathecae usually with a few small coils, except for A. casila Diškus & Stonis, sp. nov. and A. selvica Diškus, Carvalho-Filho & Stonis, sp. nov. where coils are numerous. Currently the group comprises 11 species occurring from North America (northern USA) to South America (as far as Bolivia). All species with studied biology are associated with Asteraceae.Published as part of Jonas R. Stonis, Arūnas Diškus, Fernando Carvalho Filho & Owen T.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
