ARC-Lake v1.1 - Ancillary
No full textARC-Lake v1.1 - Ancillary contains ancillary data products. This consists of the full resolution land/water mask used to determined where observations of Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) and Lake Ice Cover (LIC) are derived and a reduced resolution version of this mask, corresponding to the resolution of the spatially resolved data products.
The methodology used to define this land/water mask is described in the ARC-Lake Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ARCLake_ATBD_v_1_1.pdf) and a description of the format of these data files is provided in the ARC-Lake Data Product Description document (ARCLake_DPD_v1_1_2.pdf).

ARC-Lake v2.0 - Per-Lake
No full textARC-Lake v2.0 - Per-Lake contains data products on a lake-by-lake basis. These data products contain observations of Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) and Lake Ice Cover (LIC) from the series of (Advanced) Along-Track Scanning Radiometers ((A)ATSRs). ARC-Lake v2.0 data products cover the period from 1st August 1991 to 31st December 2011.
A number of different data products are available for each lake and are grouped together into a zip archive for each lake. A summary of the types of data product available is given on http://datashare.is.ed.ac.uk/handle/10283/88 and full details of the file naming convention and file contents are given in the ARC-Lake Data Product Description document (ARCLake_DPD_v1_1_2.pdf). Individual lake archives are grouped into larger zip archives by continent (with the exception of the Caspian Sea). Details of the methods used and a list of all lakes and their locations are given in the ARC-Lake Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ARC-Lake-ATBD-v1.3.pdf).

Cyclocoelum halcyonis MacCallum 1921, n. comb.
No full textS. halcyonis (MacCallum, 1921) n. comb. Type host. Rudy kingfisher, Halcyon coromando (Latham) (given as Halcyonis coromando by MacCallum 1921), (Coraciiformes: Halcyonidae). Type locality. Luzon, Republic of the Philippines. Remarks. This species was originally described as Cyclocoelum halcyonis MacCallum, 1921 but was considered a synonym of Cyclocoelum obscurum (Leidy, 1887) by Tubanqui (1932), Witenberg (1928), Bashkirova (1950) and of C. mutabile (Zeder, 1800) by Joyeux & Baer (1927). MacCallum (1921) provided a minimal description of this species and a figure of a longitudinal section (separating the ventral half from the dorsal half) of an adult. It appears as if MacCallum may have followed Braun (1901), who mistakenly considered the pharynx of cyclocoelids to be an oral sucker because what appears to be the muscular pharynx in Fig. 84 is labelled “m”, presumably referring to the mouth, and a much smaller structure posterior to it that appears to be the genital pore is labelled as the pharynx. MacCallum (1921) also apparently considered the ovary to be intertesticular, forming a triangle with the testes as in Monostomum mutabile (= Cyclocoelum mutabile) (Cyclocoelinae). According to MacCallum (1921) this species has the genital pore in the region of the pharynx similar to that of species of Cephalogonimus Poirier, 1886, which suggests that this species has a prepharyngeal genital pore and vitelline fields that are not confluent posteriorly (“The vitellarium consists of a narrow line of glands which, like the intestine, surround the margin of the body, except a small portion at the anterior end.”), which would place it in Cyclocoelum. However, the placement of the genital pore is postpharyngeal in Fig. 84, which would place this species in Selfcoelum. Unlike species of Cyclocoelum, Fig. 84 of the original description, although somewhat unclear, appears to show that the intertesticular ovary may be nearly in a straight line with the tandem testes (Hyptiasminae). If that is the case and the genital pore is prepharyngeal, this species would be placed in Prohyptiasmus, while if the genital pore is postpharyngeal it would be assigned to Morishitium. Given the available information, this species is tentatively placed in Selfcoelum because the ovary appears to be intertesticular forming a triangle with the testes (Cyclocoelinae), the genital pore is postpharyngeal and the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly. Until the position of the ovary relative to the testes is better documented, we recommend that this species be considered in any comparison of specimens in Cyclocoelinae or Hyptiasminae (where the vitelline fields are not confluent posteriorly) to existing species of Cyclocoelum, Selfcoelum, Prohyptiasmus and Morishitium. This species could not be included in our key to species of Selfcoelum because of the incomplete description and lack of a suitable illustration. No oral or ventral suckers described—MacCallum (1921).Published as part of Dronen, Norman O. & Blend, Charles K., 2015, Updated keys to the genera in the subfamilies of Cyclocoelidae Stossich, 1902, including a reconsideration of species assignments, species keys and the proposal of a new genus in Szidatitreminae Dronen, 2007, pp. 1-100 in Zootaxa 4053 (1) on page 21, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4053.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/23711
Hollywood and student learning

Questionnaires, reflective journals and interviews were used to gauge the impact of films on student learning. In this Research Vignette we will report on our findings
A revision of Neobenedenia Yamaguti, 1963 (Monogenea: Capsalidae) including a redescription of N. melleni (MacCallum, 1927) Yamaguti, 1963
No full textNeobenedenia Yamaguti, 1963, a genus of capsalid (benedeniine) monogeneans lacking a vagina, is redefined. The generic diagnosis is amended to include previously unused characters like the path of tendons in the haptor from extrinsic muscles in the body, the presence and form of a marginal valve, the shape of the anterior attachment organs, the arrangement of musculature at the posterior (proximal) end of the penis sac and the presence of a pair of sphincters in the female reproductive tract. On this basis, the generic composition is reduced from 10 to six species. Species considered valid are: N. melleni (MacCallum, 1927) Yamaguti, 1963; N. adenea (Meserve, 1938) Yamaguti, 1963; N. isabellae (Meserve, 1938) Yamaguti, 1963; N. longiprostata Bravo-Hollis, 1971; N. muelleri (Meserve, 1938) Yamaguti, 1963; N. pacifica Bravo-Hollis, 1971. Neobenedenia girellae (Hargis, 1955) Yamaguti, 1963 and N. paragueraensis Dyer, Williams and Bunkley-Williams, 1992 are considered synonyms of N. melleni. Species formerly ascribed to Neobenedenia, namely N. manilae Velasquez, 1982 and N. vermiculariacola Gupta and Khanna, 1975 are considered species inquirendae. A key to valid species is presented. The type species, N. melleni, is redescribed based on the original specimens of MacCallum and N. isabellae is redescribed based on material from the type locality. Since no types of N. melleni were designated, a lectotype and paralectotypes are assigned. The problem of host designation and locality for the types of N. melleni sensu MacCallum is discussed. A study of more than 80 specimens now considered to be N. melleni has permitted comments on its apparent variety of forms and its low host-specificity according to the current revision. N. melleni is now recorded from over 100 species of teleosts in more than 30 families from five different orders. Material reported previously as N. melleni off Chile from Seriola mazatlana, Thunnus thynnus orientalis and Seriola sp. are identified here as Benedenia seriolae (Yamaguti, 1934) Price, 1939. The host-specificity and geographic distribution of species in the revised genus is discussed
