Discussion. Enithares loria is a small species with prominent, rounded eyes (Fig. 62), and is easily recognized by the vertically produced PL of the male genitalia, which is covered with coarse spinules (Fig. 40). In comparison to E. bakeri, the PL is elongate vertically in E. loria, versus broad and stout in E. bakeri (compare Figs. 39, 40), although bearing short, stout, spine-like setae in both species. In addition, the distal portion of the LABP, although showing some clear similarities, is more elongate and finger-like in E. loria. This is the species treated as “ Enithares sp. undet #1′′ by D. Polhemus (2000) in the Conservation International rapid assessment report covering surveys in the Wapoga River Basin of north Indonesian New Guinea. It is also the species listed by D. Polhemus (2002) as “ Enithares sp. undet.′′ in the Conservation International rapid assessment report covering surveys in the Cyclops Mountains and Mamberamo River areas of north Indonesian New Guinea. Ecological notes. Enithares loria is a widespread but localized lowland species (Fig. 63) that was originally described from a series of 5 specimens taken by Lamberto Loria of the Genoa Museum in the Rigo district, southeast of Port Moresby, in what is now Papua New Guinea. Brooks listed additional material collected by L. E. Cheesman from Mafulu, in the Auga River basin to the northwest of Port Moresby, as well as from Australia, and Lansbury (1968) subsequently provided further records from the Solomon Islands (Russell Island) and other areas of Australia (Queensland, Northern Territory). The collections reported here from the Siewa and Dabra areas in Indonesian New Guinea, represent a considerable range extension within that island, given that this species had not been previously known from north of the island’s high central east-west drainage divide. New records are also provided for Western Australia, and the island of Malaita in the Solomon Islands. Despite its wide range, E. loria is only sporadically encountered in the Melanesian region, indicating it may have specialized habitat requirements At the PTFI Siewa mineral exploration camp (CL 7085) in the Wapoga River basin, located at the former site of a defunct logging operation, E. loria was taken from rain-filled borrow pits next to a graded gravel airstrip. These ponds had an average depth of ~ 1.5 m, with the margins considerably shallower, and also harbored several species of Anisops notonectids, but were devoid of fish. The author’s field notes for the Tiri River locality (CL 7141), further to the east in the Mamberamo River basin, note that: “This small-sized species was present in low numbers in the uppermost pools along sandy side channels at the Tiri River. Both immatures and adults were present, indicating that the species is breeding in these habitats. The absence of fish, and possibly current, seems to be necessary for the presence of this species.′′ On the island of Malaita, in the Solomon Islands, E. loria was taken from an artificial pond in a grassy lowland cattle pasture. As at the Siewa airstrip, the species was again in this case utilizing an anthropogenically-created habitat, and thus seems tolerant of disturbance.Published as part of Polhemus, Dan A., 2020, Nine new species of Enithares (Heteroptera: Notonectidae) from New Guinea, with distributional notes on other species and an updated world checklist, pp. 132-182 in Zootaxa 4772 (1) on pages 167-168, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4772.1.5, http://zenodo.org/record/381407

    MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations

    Information overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
