Motivated compliance with bases of social power
No full textThis contribution examines the degree of compliance with hard and soft power bases (Raven, Schwarzwald, & Koslowsky, 1998) as a function of target motivational and personal orientations. Four field studies were conducted in different European organizations where intrinsic–extrinsic motivational orientations, desire for control, self-presentational styles, and self-esteem were respectively considered as antecedents of employees’ compliance with their supervisors’ power strategies. Results show that compliance with soft power strategies is positively related to intrinsic motivation, desire for control, “getting-ahead” style, and self-esteem; and negatively related to the “getting-along” style. Compliance with hard power strategies is positively related to extrinsic motivation and to the getting-along style, but negatively related to intrinsic motivation, desire for control, and self-esteem

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

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Diagnosis: Males differ from those of A. monteithi in the longer, more slender median apophysis and the ventral groove on the embolus is open for its length and from A. wrighti in the small retroventral flange on the cymbium and the simple tapering embolic tip. Females diifer from those of all other species in the less anteriorly narrowed anterior "neck" of the median epigynal scape and its overall narrowness. Etymology: In honour of Penelope Hacker, a much admired animal carer, and in whose backyard at Mt Glorious the species continues to thrive. Description (Holotype male QM S 51224) Caparace 2.93 long, 2.15 wide. Abdomen 2.70 long, 1.56 wide. Colour in alcohol. Pattern on carapace and abdomen faded. Legs. Tibia to tarsi of all legs with long recurved hairs for length on all faces. Spines: Tibiae I, II: 5 strong pairs ventrally plus pair of small on distal edge; metatarsi I, II with 3 strong pairs ventrally. Claws: paired claws dentate, not noticeably long. Palp. Distal cymbium with noticeably denser brush of hair; cymbium viewed retrolaterally with distinct basodorsal conical mound; retroventral flange small. Tibial apophysis subdistal with pair of dissimilar apices; ventral tibia-cymbial interlocking process small but distinct; median apophysis long, slender, apically folded, origin subcentral on tegulum, shorter in overall length than apically pointed embolus, median apophysis lies within longitudinal extent of embolus. Ventral groove in embolus a distinctly open groove for length. Leg measurements of Austrotengella hackerae, holotype male Description (Allotype female QM S 33212) Caparace 4.03 long, 3.13 wide. Abdomen 4.41 long, 2.54 wide. Colour. Pattern on abdomen faded but more evident than in male. Legs. Spines, tibiae and metatarsi I, II as in male. Paired claws noticeably elongate, especially on IV. Epigyne. An almost parallel-sided median plate, slightly widened at posterior third, at which point medially is a short recurved ridge over the posterior invagination from the otherwise distinct posterior margin; bases of short concial lateral teeth arise just posterior of the line of recurved ridge, teeth directed diagnoally posteriad and line of apices lies just posterior to line of posterior margin. Genital opening plugged for two-thirds its length from proximad by lamellate portion of male palp. Leg measurements of Austrotengella hackerae, allotype female Distribution and Habitat. This most widespread species occurs from Wrattens Camp in the north and as far south along the Conondale Ranges to Mt Tamborine, one range north of Lamington National Park. It occurs coastally in a retreating rainforest (Buhot) in south-eastern Brisbane west to the Great Dividing Range at Ravensbourne. All areas are rainforest or at least closed forest. Remarks: One female (QM S 19605) was taken in a Myrmecia nest.Published as part of Raven, Robert J, 2012, Revisions of Australian ground-hunting spiders. V.

Austrotengella Raven, 2012, gen. nov.
No full textAustrotengella gen. nov. Diagnosis: Differs from Bengalla in the form of the male tibial apophysis (e.g., Figs 8 b–e), the extensive epigynal scape (e.g., Fig. 2 c), and from both Huntia and Bengalla in having more than 4 pairs of spines ventrally on tibiae I and II, the posterior row of eyes being recurved (Fig. 1 b) and the very long paired and unpaired claws. Differs from Amauropelma in the absence of claw tufts and the presence of a third claw. Description: Eight eyes in two rows, both rows clearly recurved from above and in front; anterior row about two-thirds width of posterior row; from front, ALE set only about half AME diameter above AME line; PME with canoe-shaped tapetum; eye group occupying 0.6 of headwidth (Fig. 1 a). Three claws; claw tufts absent; paired claws similar, very long with few teeth basally; third claw long, bare. Retrocoxal hymen present on leg I only, pretarsal fracture absent. Tibiae I, II of females with 5 pairs of strong ventral spines with small distal pair; 3 pairs of strong spines ventrally on metatarsi I, II; similar number in males but weaker. General spine conformation: femora I only with 2 very strong subdistally on proventral face; femora I–IV also with spines prolaterally, dorsally and retrolaterally; patellae I, II aspinose; patellae III, IV and palp with one spine; tibiae III, IV typically p 2 d 2 r 2 v 2.2.2, ventral spines weak; metatarsi II also with spines prolaterally, dorsally and retrolaterally; metatarsi III, IV typically p 2 r 3 v 2.2.2– 3, ventral spines weak; female palp typically, fe p 1 d 2; pa p 1; ti p 2 d 1; ta p 2.1 d 1 r 1 with 2 small spines ventrally just behind claw. Scopulae entirely absent on legs. Preening combs absent. Two rows of trichobothria on tibia, metatarsi and tarsi; trichobothrial bases collariform (Fig. 5 d); trochanters all with similarly shallow notches. Male tibiae without basal fracture. Tarsal organ low, keyhole-shaped (Fig. 5 d). Six spinnerets with short ALS and PLS and short apical segment (Fig. 1 c); females with 5–6 large conical spigots dorsolaterally on PMS, largest spigots evident dorsally in two rows (A. wrighti); PMS as long as PLS but more slender, conical, cribellum absent; colulus indistinct, small, circular, sclerotised hirsute area. Male palp with median apophysis (Fig. 2 a), broad embolus and conductor; U-shaped subtegulum; extensive tegulum; interlocking tegular-subtegular lobes present. Median apophysis shaped like blunt-ended canoe, open face upward, with distal edge twisted, folded back on itself, translucent. Conductor large, flared, hyaline. Embolus a broad process with ventral groove (Fig. 2 a, 5 a), which may be basally closed to open for its full length and thus evident as more pallid zone. RTA set on retrolateral to retrodorsal edges with two shallow apices, surfaces of apices lamellate (Fig. 8 f); cymbium shallow, canoe-shaped with conical tip with or without dorsal process, interlocking lobes present between cymbium and distal tibia both ventrally and prolaterally (Figs. 8 b, d). Scopulae absent or, rarely, weak on cymbium. Epigyne with lateral teeth, broad median plate with (Fig. 2 c) or without (Fig. 13 c) posterior invagination; transverse recurved ridge on septum (Fig. 2 c); internally quite simple. Females remain with eggsac, which is silked to the underside of logs or rocks, sometimes it is soil- and barkencrusted. Type Species. Austrotengella toddae sp. nov. Species Included: Austrotengella toddae sp. nov., Austrotengella hackerae sp. nov., Austrotengella hebronae sp. nov., Austrotengella monteithi sp. nov., Austrotengella plimeri sp. nov., Austrotengella wrighti sp. nov. Distribution and Habitat (Fig. 3). Known only from rainforests in southeastern Queensland and northeastern New South Wales where it is common in the litter. Most species occur at elevations below 760 metres. Significantly, A. toddae occurs only at Lamington National Park. Prior to 2006, when the only sites sampled were at elevations above 800 metres, spiders were found. However, in the IBISCA survey (2006 / 2007) at elevations from 300–1100 metres, adult spiders were only found at 500m and 700 metres with one juvenile taken at 900m. This is discussed further below. Relationships. Austrotengella is excluded from Pisauridae and other higher lycosoids (sensu Silva 2003; Raven and Stumkat 2005) by the canoe-shaped tapetum. Equally, females remain with the eggsac, which is silked to the underside of logs and rocks, and were soil- and bark-encrusted. Forster and Forster (1999: 115) reported this also for Cycloctenus. From the front, the ALE of Austrotengella are beside the AME. Remarks: Interspecific differences in somatic characters in this genus are diffuse; hence, species are diagnosed exclusively on the genitalia. Closely related species may be more readily diagnosed by the female epigyne than the male palp. Differences between closely related species are small and difficult to unambiguously describe but they are consistent.Published as part of Raven, Robert J, 2012, Revisions of Australian ground-hunting spiders.
