This species is named in honor of the JMW's late grandmother, Dorothy Webb. Diagnosis and discussion. Larvae of N. dorothae are identified by the presence of two rows of denticles on the tarsal claws (Fig. 6c). Nixe dorothae and N. perfida are superficially similar and occur in the same geographic region, but, in addition to the second row of denticles, N. dorothae larvae usually have two pairs of pale sublateral spots on each abdominal tergum (Fig. 1) whereas N. perfida larvae have only a single pair. Nixe flowersi is also known from southern Indiana but differs from N. dorothae by having a single row of denticles on the tarsal claws, clavate robust setae on the femora (similar to Fig. 18), and much more extensive pale areas on the abdominal terga (Fig. 19, McCafferty 1977: Fig. 3, as Heptagenia perisimplex McDunnough, 1929) The reddish brown markings on the abdominal sterna can vary within populations from completely absent to well developed and should not be considered diagnostic. Adult males are differentiated from North American congeners by the combination of the reddish brown dorsal color pattern (Fig. 7) and penes with median spines on the apical sclerites (Fig. 10). The only other North American species with spines on the apical sclerites is N. flowersi, but its abdomen is cream colored rather than reddish brown. Nixe horrida, N. lucidipennis, N. perfida and N. rusticalis all have reddish brown abdominal terga, but the penes lack median spines on the apical sclerites. Nixe dorothae were most often collected from small, intermittent or spring-fed streams in southern Indiana. Material examined.

A cladistic approach for generic delimitation of paracloeodes day, rivudiva lugo-ortiz & McCafferty, and varipes lugo-ortiz & McCafferty (ephemeroptera: Baetidae).
No full textThe taxonomic knowledge of Baetidae has been greatly improved in the last decades in South America. Despite the advances, there are problems that need to be addressed. One of these problems is doubt concerning the systematics of species assigned to the genera Paracloeodes Day, Rivudiva Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, and Varipes Lugo-Ortiz & McCafferty, and the evolution of long setae on femora. In the present paper, the monophyly of these three genera is tested using a cladistic approach. The matrix included 53 species and 151 morphological characters: 127 for nymphs and 24 for adults. The dataset was analyzed under equal and implied weights with nine values of k. Group support was estimated with relative Bremer and frequency differences. The results corroborate (i) the paraphyly of Paracloeodes and Varipes, which become monophyletic without P. caldensis + V. singuil, proposed as a new genus Rhopyscelis gen. n., (ii) the long setae on femora as an independent acquisition between Rhopyscelis gen. n. + Varipes and Rivudiva, (iii) the transversal rows of setae on femora as an independent acquisition between Rhopyscelis gen. n. + Varipes and Rivudiva, (iv) the spine on subgenital plate as an independent acquisition between Paracloeodes, Rivudiva and Gen.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Expanding “Communities and Collections” in the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx) to benefit the K-State Community and Beyond
No full textKansas State University has used its institutional repository, the K-State Research Exchange (K-REx), to store and share its first year experience program, K-State First, and notably its common reading program, K-State First Book. We have done so with the aim that the accessibility and preservation of these documents ensures program stability, promotes engagement with first year programming, and provides the ability to foster growth,educational opportunities, and community building outside of K-State. Moving away from research concentrated repositories and taking a more holistic approach to scholarship, especially when realizing the pedagogical significance of collaborative campus programming, institutions can showcase, discover, preserve, and grow programs that shape campus communities and engagement.
This session will provide an overview of K-REx and spotlight the digital archive of the university’s first year experience program and common reading program, K-State First Book. We will discuss the benefits and challenges to expanding the purview of your repositories. We talkthrough the types of materials we decide to host in our repository and why we share what we do. We will also provide recommendations on new ways to evaluate what belongs in institutional repositories and how this diversity can benefit your program, your institution, the community, and others
