    The two major alignments that we based our analyses off of for this paper are contained within this tarball, as Platyzoa_backup.tar.gz\Platyzoa_backup.tar\Platyzoa_backup\ExaML\platyzoa402.phylip and Platyzoa_backup.tar.gz\Platyzoa_backup.tar\Platyzoa_backup\ExaML\pz402_BMGE\platyzoa402_BMGE.phylip Representing the 402 gene matrix constructed with MARE, untrimmed and trimmed by BMGE, respectively. The PartitionFinder analysis is held in Platyzoa_backup.tar.gz\Platyzoa_backup.tar\Platyzoa_backup\pz402, with ExaML analyses from this partitioning scheme held in Platyzoa_backup.tar.gz\Platyzoa_backup.tar\Platyzoa_backup\ExaML\pz402_part, with the Newick tree corresponding to Figure 1A in "pz402_part_bsbest.tre". You will also find a few analyses that didn't make it into the paper (e.g. a 761 gene matrix, an ASTRAL gene tree analysis). The 402 orthologs used to make the supermatrix presented in the paper are named in "OG6_parts.txt_reduced" under the pz402 directory. Individual unaligned OMA orthogroups are stored in a separate tarball, OrthologousGroupsFasta.tar.gz. Newick trees used to derive Figures 1B and 1C are uploaded separately here outside the tarball

    Genus <i>Kawakatsua</i> Sluys, gen. nov. <p> <b>Etymology.</b> The generic name honours the triclad specialist Prof. Dr. Masaharu Kawakatsu in recognition of his major contribution to the field of planarian systematics. Gender: feminine.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis.</b> Dimarcusidae without pigmentation or eyes; pharynx located in the posterior half of the body; mouth opening located halfway in the pharyngeal cavity; few, principally ventral testes distributed irregularly in the body and extending from a position far posterior to the ovaries to directly behind the pharyngeal cavity; ovaries situated ventrally at some distance behind the brain; sperm ducts strongly recurve, forming a loop, before uniting to give rise to the ejaculatory duct; cone-shaped penis papilla oriented horizontally; posterior to gonopore oviducts turn dorso-medially, uniting to form common oviduct, which is oriented more or less perpendicular to the bursal canal and opens into the latter shortly before the canal communicates with the copulatory bursa; sac-shaped copulatory bursa lacks a distinct, single lumen and is mostly filled with a mass of syncytial cells, with interspersed nuclei.</p>Published as part of <i>Sluys, Ronald & Laumer, Christopher, 2019, A new genus and species of a terrestrial cavernicolan planarian from Barro Colorado Island, Panama (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida, Cavernicola), pp. 187-193 in Zootaxa 4586 (1)</i> on page 188, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4586.1.12, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/2642646">http://zenodo.org/record/2642646</a&gt

    Systematic, biogeographic and microhabitat-based morphometric variation of the bivalve Anomalocardia squamosa (Bivalvia: Veneridae: Chioninae) in Thailand

    Full text link
    The venerid genus Anomalocardia is tropical American in origin, yet has a distribution spanning the tropical western Atlantic to western Pacifi c oceans. This distribution makes it the most widespread genus of the monophyletic, tropical American Chioninae. Other tropical American chionine genera have either remained restricted to American waters since their originations at various times during the early Neogene, or have sparse fossil or relict Recent distributions in the northwestern Pacifi c. This is in spite of tremendous diversifi cation throughout Atlantic and Pacifi c American waters. Here we analyze the morphologic variation of A. squamosa (Linneaus, 1758) from Thailand, focusing specifi cally on the correspondence between morphological variability and microhabitat variation, with the eventual goal of uncovering possible adaptive advantages of Anomalocardia relative to other chionine genera. Signifi cant variation was found among sites, characterized by differences in the shape of valve commissures and siphonal regions. The variation corresponds qualitatively with differences in sediment and water energy. We further compare A. squamosa to the congeneric, western Atlantic A. brasiliana (Gmelin, 1791), and the related eastern Pacifi c species, Iliochione subrugosa (Wood, 1828), establishing A. squamosa as a geographically widespread species, and fi nding all the taxa to be morphologically distinct. Finally, the analysis of A. brasiliana reveals that individuals from the Caribbean are morphologically distinct from Brazilian individuals.Fil: Roopnarine, Peter D.. California Academy of Sciences.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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
