Data Management and the ‘BBNJ Standardized Batch Identifier’ Under the BBNJ Agreement
No full textThis chapter addresses two innovations in the BBNJ Agreement—the ‘“BBNJ” standardized batch identifier’ (BBNJ Identifier) and the data management plan (DMP). The BBNJ Identifier is a means to link information about the subject matter of the BBNJ Agreement—marine genetic resources (MGRs) and digital sequence information on MGRs (DSI)—back to reporting on usage, to enable transparency and equitable benefit sharing. DMPs outline processes and standards for data creation, access, ownership, management and storage, and the roles and responsibilities of stakeholders where data is derived from MGRs and associated DSI. Both requirements are important to fulfilling the BBNJ Agreement obligation that MGR data are Findable Accessible Interoperable and Reusable, or FAIR. This chapter outlines the BBNJ Agreement obligations and the areas that will require further input as the agreement develops into practice, with direction from the subsidiary bodies: the Conference of the Parties (COP); the Scientific and Technical Body (STB), and the Access and Benefit-Sharing Committee (ABSC). It provides legal perspectives and context on the data requirements in relation to other relevant legal frameworks. The chapter concludes that the BBNJ Identifier and DMPs can contribute to modalities for the sharing of the benefits arising from the use of MGRs and DSI that are mutually supportive of, and adaptable to other access and benefit-sharing instruments.Full Tex

No full textNeanthes goodayi sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: C5CDA152-0C73-46BB-955F-9BD5F02BE0F6 Figs 2–6, 8 Diagnosis Anterior eye pair very large, distinct, posterior eyes minute. Posterio-dorsal tentacular cirri reaching chaetigers 8–12. Two pigmented spots on dorsum of apodous segment. Palpostyles and palpophores rounded, spherical to ovoid. Paragnaths in pharangeal areas: I = 1–2, II = 9–12, III = 6, IV = 12–16, V = 0, VI = 1–4, VII-VIII = 12–19; area VI–I–VI pattern λ-shaped on oral ring. Chaetigers 1–2 uniramous, remaining chaetigers biramous. Parapodial lobes conical, becoming narrower in posterior chaetigers. Neuracicular postchaetal lobe longer than or equal to neuraciular ligule on anterior chaetigers, shorter on medial chaetigers, papilliform or absent on posterior chaetigers. Dorsal cirri exceed length of ligules on anterior chaetigers, as long as or slightly shorter than ligules on medial chaetigers, becoming longer and exceeding ligules towards posterior end; on largest specimens, dorsal cirri exceed ligules on all chaetigers. Notochatae with homogomph spinigers throughout, supraciular nerurochaetae with homogomph spinigers and heterogomph falcigers throughout, subacicular neurochaetae with homogomph spinigers, homogomph falcigers and heterogomph falcigers throughout. Etymology Named in honor of Andy Gooday, member of the science party of both ABYSSLINE cruises. This etymology is part of the ABYSSLINE naming convention where all new taxon names are based on a randomised list of both crew and scientists of the two research cruises in order to recognise the team effort involved in this extensive sampling program (Wiklund et al. 2019).

Comparative material examined Holotype of Neanthes heteroculata (Hartmann-Schröder, 1981) ATLANTIC OCEAN • Northeastern Atlantic, Bay of Biscay; 46º35.0′ N, 7º45.5′ W; depth 4700 m; 24 Oct. 1967; ZMH P-16464. Paratypes of Neanthes heteroculata (Hartmann-Schröder, 1981) ATLANTIC OCEAN • 2 specs; same collection data as for preceding; ZMH P-16465. Description Holotype (NHM_739) complete, TL = 12 mm, L15 = 4.7 mm, W15 = 0.9 mm, for 47 chaetigers. Body somewhat ‘baseball bat-shaped’, wide, swollen anteriorly but tapering gradually posteriorly (Fig. 2A–B). Live specimen pale, iridescent and semi-translucent, with yellow gut and red blood vessels visible through body wall (Fig. 2A, C); specimen in ethanol opaque, pale beige, with some red vasculature still visible (Fig. 2B, D). Two pigmented spots on either side of dorsum of apodous segment visible in both live specimens and in ethanol, with some pigmentation also visible on dorsum of anterodorsal tentacular cirrophores (Fig. 2C–D). Prostomium short, rounded trapezoid with shallow dorsal depression extending anteriorly from midpoint to distal margin (Fig. 2C–D); antennae cirriform, medium-sized, barely extending beyond palps. Palps nearly as long as prostomium, with both palpophores and palpostyles short, spherical, with palpostyles half as long as palpophores. Tentacular cirri with short, cylindrical cirrophores; posterior-dorsal pair of tentacular cirri longest, extending to chaetiger 12 (Fig. 2A–B).

Dorsal cirri inserted at base of median and dorsal ligule in uniramous and biramous chaetigers, respectively, slightly inflated on uniramous chaetigers (Fig. 3A), more slender from chaetiger 3 onwards (Fig. 3B–H); dorsal cirri extending beyond median ligule on anteriormost chaetigers (Fig. 3A–B), as long as or slightly shorter than median ligules from chaetiger 6 onwards (Fig. 3C–D) and extending beyond median ligules from around chaetiger 29 (Fig. 3E), up to twice as long as median ligules on posterior chaetigers from chaetiger 40 (Fig. 3G–H). Dorsal ligule conical throughout, slightly shorter than median ligules on anterior chaetigers (Fig. 3B–C), approximately two-thirds the length of median ligules from chaetiger 10 onwards. Dorsal and median ligules reduced in size on posterior chaetigers from chaetiger 40, with dorsal ligule vanishing in posteriormost chaetigers (Fig. 3H). Median ligule slightly inflated on uniramous chaetigers (Fig. 3A), conical on biramous chaetigers, narrower from chaetiger 29 (Fig. 3E), bluntly conical on posteriormost chaetigers (Fig. 3H). Notopodial prechaetal lobe indistinct. Neuracicular ligule shorter than ventral neuropodial ligule on anterior chaetigers (Fig. 3A–C), becoming equal in length or slightly shorter from chaetiger 10, equal or slightly longer from chaetiger 29 (Fig. 3E). Superior neuropodial lobe indistinct, truncate throughout; inferior lobe short, rounded on anterior and medial chaetigers, gradually shortening, giving neuracicular ligule pointed appearance on posterior chaetigers (Fig. 3G–H). Neuracicular prechaetal lobe indistinct. Neuracicular postchaetal lobe conical, longer than neuracicular lobe on anteriormost chaetigers (Fig. 3A–B), equal in length at chaetiger 6 (Fig. 3C), gradually shortening and becoming more digitiform on subsequent chaetigers to papilliform nub around chaetiger 29 (Fig. 3F), absent in posterior chaetigers from around chaetiger 40. Ventral neuropodial ligule conical throughout, gradually narrowing on medial (Fig. 3E) and posterior chaetigers (Fig. 3G–H). Ligule sub-equal in length to median ligule in anterior and early medial chaetigers (Fig. 3A–D), becoming shorter in remaining chaetigers from chaetiger 29 (Fig. 3E), to two-thirds as long as ligule from chaetiger 40 (Fig. 3G) and half as long on posteriormost chaetigers (Fig. 3H). Ventral cirri cirriform (Fig. 3C–F), inserted basally to ventral neuropodial ligule throughout, slightly shorter than ligule on anterior and medial chaetigers, subequal in length on posteriormost chaetigers (Fig. 3F). Pygidium somewhat pyriform, truncate distally, with two filamentous anal cirri attached ventro-laterally, extending 8 chaetigers in length (Fig. 2A–B). Caecal glands present, small, white, slightly thickened. Multiple aciculae per parapodial lobe observed on some chaetigers in holotype: double neuraciculae in chaetigers 2, 3, 6 and 20 (Fig. 3B–D), and triple notoaciculae on chaetiger 6 (Fig. 3C). This feature was not observed in parapodial dissections from paratypes. Notochaetae all homogomph spinigers with long blades, of similar width towards toothed edge but drastically slendering to an aristate distal end (Fig. 3I); 4 present in anterior chaetigers, 5 in medial chaetigers, 3 in posterior chaetigers and absent from chaetiger 46. Supracicular neurochaetae with homogomph spinigers and heterogomph falcigers, both types present in all falcigers except final two chaetigers, where supracicular falcigers are absent. Homogomph spinigers similar in appearance to those of notopodia (Fig. 3J), though with blades reducing in length moving ventrally (shortest blades two-thirds as long as longest blade), numbering 4 on first two chaetigers, 3–5 on anterior and medial chaetigers and 2 on posterior chaetigers where fascicles remain. Heterogomph falcigers with knob-like tips (Fig. 3K) and blades roughly half the length of shortest spinigers, numbering 1 on anterior chaetigers, 2 on medial chaetigers and 1 on posterior chaetigers where fascicles remain. Subacicular neurochaetae with homogomph spinigers and both homogomph and heterogomph falcigers. Homogomph spinigers also similar in appearance to those of notopodia (Fig. 3L) but with blades twothirds as long and numbering 1–2 on all chaetigers. Homogomph falcigers with knob-like tips (Fig. 3L), blades three-quarters the length of spinigers (Fig. 3L), numbering 1–3 on all chaetigers. Heterogomph falcigers similar in appearance to those of supracicular fascicles (Fig. 3M), numbering 3 on first two chaetigers, 4–6 on anterior, 2–4 on medial and 2–3 on posterior chaetigers. Variations Largest specimen (paratype NHM_2069) damaged, in two parts, TL = 17 mm, L15 = 6.7 mm, W15 = 1 mm for 55 chaetigers. Smallest specimen (paratype NHM_127) with TL = 1 mm for 10 chaetigers (see Juveniles section below). Pigment spots on dorsum as in holotype, consistent across most specimens both live and preserved (Fig. 4A–D), pigmentation on tentacular cirrophores more variable. Palpophores spherical to ovoid in shape (e.g., Fig. 4B). Posterior-dorsal pair of tentacular cirri extending to chaetiger 8–12 in most specimens (max. chaetiger 6 in juveniles). Eyes dark red to purple, anterior pair ranging from circular/ovoid (Fig. 4B–D) to teardrop-shaped concave discs or deeper cups (Figs 4A, 5A), becoming more crescent-shaped with decreasing size (Fig. 5B–D); posterior pair mostly circular (Fig. 4A–B), but occasionally oblong (Fig. 4A) or seeming to fuse with anterior pair (Fig. 6A–B), or with one missing (Fig. 4D). Posterior eye pair often less distinct in smaller specimens (Fig. 5A–B), becoming tiny spots (Fig. 5A) or patchy and irregularly shaped (Fi
A measure for measure: moderation and the mean in the literature of Spain's Golden Age
No full textThis thesis presents the first sustained analysis of the reception of the Aristotelian golden mean in early modern Spanish literature. It argues that the critically-neglected ethical credo of moderation was an important part of the classical inheritance on which Golden-Age authors frequently drew, and that despite its famous origins in moral philosophy rather than literature, it was subject to just the same kind of imitative reworking as has long been acknowledged for literary predecessors. The analysis is divided into two sections. The first takes a synoptic view of the period, assessing the transmission of Aristotle's doctrine to the Renaissance and exploring what it meant to the Golden-Age mind. That includes identifying a particular early modern reformulation of the mean, which I argue was an important factor in the popularity of the Icarus and Phaethon myths, as analogues for Aristotle's moral. The body of the thesis then comprises three case studies of the role of moderation in works which span the periodâs chronological and generic range: the poetry of Garcilaso; Calderón's 'El médico de su honra'; and Gracián's 'Criticón'. These studies explore three important general trends in the reception of the mean: the association of excess and moderation with particular literary models; the incorporation of the mean into Christian thought; and its parallel existence as non-technical, commonplace wisdom. However, each chapter also constitutes an innovation within its own field, offering a reassessment of Garcilaso's relationship to literary tradition; a re-reading of the characters and plot structure of 'El médico', including the controversial King Pedro; and an analysis of the elusive moral approach behind Gracián's allegorical novel. The mean is thus remarkable for both the breadth and depth of its incorporation into literature, and a focus on its treatment offers substantial new insights into some of the canonical works of the age. </p

with over 80% of its land area receiving less than 250mm of rainfall per year.
Security of water supply has always played a critical role in the economic and
social development of South Australia, and will continue to do so while
dependency on water from the River Murray is so high and there is competition
over this from states and for different uses – municipal, irrigation, industry, and
the environment. The drive towards sustainable development has evolved to
attenuate overconsumption of the world’s natural resources of which water is a
key element.
Provision of reliable water supplies to regional South Australia has always
presented challenges, given the vast distances involved and the limited number of
natural water sources. Despite these, a majority of South Australians enjoy the
benefit of a reliable and safe water supply, adequate waste disposal system, good
community health and high standard of living. A challenge remains to determine
the sustainability of current major water pipe transfer systems from remote
resources to small communities. There may be scope for managing existing water
supplies more effectively and further developing local water harvesting and reuse
solutions to minimise the need for more significant infrastructure investment.
This study investigates the challenges and opportunities for extending
development of non-potable (secondary) water supply schemes in South
Australian towns. These schemes will conserve the State’s freshwater resources.
The primary focus of this study is harnessing stormwater runoff and treated
effluent generated by normal township development to supplement higher quality
public water for uses such as irrigation of public areas and sporting fields in
country areas. Water harvesting and reuse is not likely to occur due to some
technological breakthrough but through application of known technology and the
adoption of water conscious ethics by society. However, it is a sensible reality for
the South Australian climate, particularly when coupled with appropriate
conservation and suitable landscaping practices. Thus, the major theme of this
study is information sharing since if people are familiar with and understand the
concepts then more communities may be encouraged to develop their resources.
Water reuse has proven to be a beneficial strategy for addressing stormwater
runoff and wastewater disposal problems and alleviating localised water supply
problems for several South Australian towns and communities. The existing
projects demonstrate both the strong community-based and innovative approach to
water resources management in this state. They are inherently simple in form, and
can often be assembled with readily available materials by people with a basic
understanding of plumbing and construction skills (locally available). The
potential for localised water harvesting and reuse in South Australian towns is
generally limited to single purpose communal non-potable systems. Further, it is
likely to only be sustainable in rural communities willing to make a commitment
to its long term, proper operation and maintenance, or they could endanger public
health.Thesis (M.Eng.Sc.) - University of Adelaide, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 200
BBNJ Agreement: Considerations for scientists and commercial end users of MGR at research, development and commercialization stages
No full textThe research, development and commercialization pipeline for accessing, using and sharing marine genetic resources (MGR) of areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) is highly varied and complex. Equally complex is the governance framework under the 2023 agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of ABNJ, for which many practical details, including procedures, are yet to be decided by treaty Parties. This chapter draws from real world examples to analyse ways in which current scientific practice is supported or challenged by framework elements, including notification, monitoring and benefit sharing systems and associated infrastructure such as the BBNJ Standardized Batch Identifier and data management plans. It compares how the elements and infrastructure may work in practice using six R&D scenarios ranging from an idealized linear pathway to more complex pathways involving automation, sequence information and traditional knowledge associated with MGR in different geographical and temporal scales. For an efficient and ‘future proofed’ framework that supports innovation and fulfils treaty objectives, it is proposed that treaty bodies and policy makers need to look beyond the idealized R&D pathways envisaged in the treaty and engage directly with scientists and commercial end users when designing the practical details of implementation

An adaptable peptide-based porous material
No full textPorous materials find widespread application in storage, separation, and catalytic technologies. We report a crystalline porous solid with adaptable porosity, in which a simple dipeptide linker is arranged in a regular array by coordination to metal centers. Experiments reinforced by molecular dynamics simulations showed that low-energy torsions and displacements of the peptides enabled the available pore volume to evolve smoothly from zero as the guest loading increased. The observed cooperative feedback in sorption isotherms resembled the response of proteins undergoing conformational selection, suggesting an energy landscape similar to that required for protein folding. The flexible peptide linker was shown to play the pivotal role in changing the pore conformation
