    Rhinolophus sinicus K. Andersen 1905

    The karyotype of R. sinicus was 2n = 36, FN = 60 (Fig. 3), consisting of 13 large-to-small metacentric or submetacentric pairs and four medium-sized to small acrocentric pairs of autosomes, a medium-sized subtelocentric X chromosome, and a small subtelocentric Y chromosome. This species had a prominent secondary constriction involving one pair of medium-sized acrocentric chromosomes. The karyotype of R. sinicus from Hainan Island (2n = 36, FN = 60) does not differ from conspecific populations in the Chinese provinces of Anhui [6] (reported as R. rouxii sinicus), Sichuan [14], and Guangdong [15] in conventional karyotype and that from "south-western China" also in G-banding pattern [17], but does differ from the 2n = 56, FN = 60 karyotype of R. rouxii reported from India and Sri Lanka [31]. These karyological differences between R. sinicus and R. rouxii support the view that these two taxonomically confused taxa both represent distinct species, as previously proposed [14, 15, 26].Published as part of Wu, Yi, Motokawa, Masaharu, Li, Yu-Chun, Harada, Masashi, Chen, Zhong & Lin, Liang-Kong, 2009, Karyology of eight species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from Hainan Island, China, pp. 659-666 in International Journal of Biological Sciences 5 (7) on page 660, DOI: 10.7150/ijbs.5.659, http://zenodo.org/record/426620

    Pipistrellus abramus

    The karyotype of Pipistrellus abramus The karyotype of Pipistrellus abramus from Hainan Island was 2n = 26, FN = 44 (Fig. 5), consisting of ten large to medium-sized metacentric or submetacentric pairs and two small acrocentric pairs in autosomes, a medium-sized acrocentric X chromosome, and the smallest acrocentric Y chromosome. The conventionally stained karyotype of P. abramus from Hainan Island does not differ from conspecific populations from the Chinese provinces of Zhejiang, Henan, and Sichuan, Taiwan, Japan, or Korea [8, 14, 37 - 43]. Large negative G-band and positive C-band areas were found in the pericentromeric regions of chromosome 1 through 4, 10, 11 and X; and these are considered centromeric constitutive heterochromatin. This characteristic was also reported from Japan and Taiwan [38, 41, 42], and any difference in G- and C-banding patterns among populations from Hainan Island, Japan and Taiwan was detected.Published as part of Wu, Yi, Motokawa, Masaharu, Li, Yu-Chun, Harada, Masashi, Chen, Zhong & Lin, Liang-Kong, 2009, Karyology of eight species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from Hainan Island, China, pp. 659-666 in International Journal of Biological Sciences 5 (7) on page 663, DOI: 10.7150/ijbs.5.659, http://zenodo.org/record/426620

    Miniopterus australis Tomes 1858

    The karyotypes of Miniopterus australis and M. schreibersii from Hainan Island were both 2n = 46, FN = 50 (Fig. 4B, C), both consisting of two large and one small metacentric or submetacentric pairs and 19 medium-sized to small acrocentric pairs in autosomes, a submetacentric X chromosome, and an acrocentric Y chromosome. One small acrocentric pair (No. 20) had a secondary constriction adjacent to the centromere. The karyotype of M. australis from Hainan Island is very similar to a previous report for the same species from Borneo [32]. The karyotype of M. schreibersii from Hainan Island is similar to those for M. schreibersii from Borneo and Taiwan [9, 32], M. s. chinensis from Anhui Province, China [44], M. s. pallidus from Russia [45], and M. s. fuliginosus from Japan [40, 46] and Guizhou Province, China [47] (as M. fuliginosus). The members of this genus have likely retained the karyologically conservative state.Published as part of Wu, Yi, Motokawa, Masaharu, Li, Yu-Chun, Harada, Masashi, Chen, Zhong & Lin, Liang-Kong, 2009, Karyology of eight species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from Hainan Island, China, pp. 659-666 in International Journal of Biological Sciences 5 (7) on page 664, DOI: 10.7150/ijbs.5.659, http://zenodo.org/record/426620

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Myotis horsfieldi Temminck 1840

    The karyotype of Myotis horsfieldi The karyotype of Myotis horsfieldi was 2n = 44, FN = 50, consisting of three large and one small metacentric or submetacentric pairs and 17 medium-sized to small acrocentric pairs in autosomes, a medium-sized submetacentric X chromosome, and a small acrocentric Y chromosome (Fig. 4A). The karyotype of Myotis horsfieldi from Hainan Island does not differ from conspecific population in Borneo [32]. The vespertilionid genus Myotis is one of the most diverse mammalian genera and includes 103 species [26], but it is also one of the most karyologically conservative genera. A diploid number 2n = 44 characterizes all 47 species for which karyotypes have been reported [22, 33]. Chromosomal variation is essentially restricted to the presence of heterochromatic short arms on the smaller autosomes, variation in the location of active nucleolus organizer regions (NORs), as well as differences in the size of the Y chromosome [22, 33, 34]. In addition, an inverted autosome and a duplicated translocation involving the X chromosome have been reported in M. pruinosus [35]. An extra pair of acrocentric autosomes (2n = 46) has also been reported in M. annectans from Thailand [36] and in M. davidii from Guangdong [16]. The karyotype of M. horsfieldi in this study is the conservative one and showed no additional translocation.Published as part of Wu, Yi, Motokawa, Masaharu, Li, Yu-Chun, Harada, Masashi, Chen, Zhong & Lin, Liang-Kong, 2009, Karyology of eight species of bats (Mammalia: Chiroptera) from Hainan Island, China, pp. 659-666 in International Journal of Biological Sciences 5 (7) on page 663, DOI: 10.7150/ijbs.5.659, http://zenodo.org/record/426620
