    This experimental section includes some parts of the performative event “The materiality of transformations: Listening to objects”, which closed the 14th SIEF conference held in Santiago de Compostela in 2019. Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, Regina Bendix, Dorothy Noyes, Sharon Roseman and Francisco Cruces conversed on stage about the cultural meanings of a selection of personal objects. By unveiling the stories contained in&nbsp;mezuzahs,&nbsp;hair, a serving platter and a shawl, they put the methodological power of the object/story couplet to the test. The benefits of articulating narrativity with materiality; the silent power of things in everyday life; the embedded character of storytelling, and some of its affective, moral and celebratory virtues were highlighted. The final event can be seen at &lt;https://vimeo.com/362078953&gt; from minute 00:52:50 to 01:31:00.Esta sección experimental incluye algunas partes del evento performativo “La materialidad de las transformaciones: escuchar a los objetos”, que clausuró el XIV congreso de SIEF celebrado en Santiago de Compostela en 2019.

Quiroga, 1 &male; 1 &female; (ICAMF 00000045). Distribution. Cryptodacus bernardoi is known only from Colombia in Cundinamarca department in the municipios of Anolaima and Guaduas at middle altitudes on the west side of the eastern cordillera. Host plant. Three of the paratypes were reared from tiny fruits of Phoradendron sp. near piperoides (Kunth) Trel. (Figs. 43, 44), which was found parasitizing the upper part of a Psidium guajava L. shrub. This host plant is locally known by the common names “muérdago”, “matapalo”, “injerto” and “pajarito”. Phoradendron is variously classified in the Santalaceae or Viscaceae. The only previous host data for Cryptodacus was the single record of C. silvai Lima from fruit of “herva de passarinho” (Loranthus sp.) from southern Brazil (Lima 1947). The Loranthaceae, Santalaceae (and Viscaceae, when recognized as distinct from Santalaceae) belong to the order Santalales, many of which are parasitic plants. Etymology. This species is named for José Bernardo Rodríguez, father of the senior author. Comments. This species runs with difficulty in the keys of Norrbom (1994) and Norrbom & Korytkowski (2008). C. bernardoi may be most closely related to C. lopezi Norrbom, which has a similar aculeus, or it may belong to a clade along with that species and C. tau and trinotatus. The abdominal pattern is intermediate between those species, which have a distinct medial brown vitta or pair of vittae bordered by white or yellow sublateral areas on at least tergite 5 and female tergite 6, and the predominantly brown pattern in other species. In C. bernardoi the bands on tergites 4–5 in the male and 5–6 in the female may be interrupted. These four species also have the head mostly or entirely yellow posteriorly. The males were described only for C. bernardoi, C. obliquus, C. parkeri and C. tau.Published as part of Rodriguez, Pedro Alexander, Rodriguez, Erick J., Norrbom, Allen L. & Arévalo, Emilio, 2016, A new species and new records of Cryptodacus (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Colombia, Bolivia and Peru, pp. 276-290 in Zootaxa 4111 (3) on pages 277-279, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4111.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/26487

    Cooperator Science Series #120-2016

    No full text
    The Cooperator Science Series was initiated in 2013. Its purpose is to facilitate the archiving and retrieval of research project reports resulting primarily from investigations supported by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), particularly the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program. The online format was selected to provide immediate access to science reports for FWS, state and tribal management agencies, the conservation community, and the public at large. During the past decade, there has been a substantive increase in the detection of “emerging contaminants”, defined as a new substance, chemical, or metabolite in the environment; or a legacy substance with a newly expanded distribution, altered release, or a newly recognized effect (such as endocrine disruption). Emerging contaminants include substances such as biogenic hormones (human and animal), brominated flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, personal care products, plasticizers, current use pesticides, detergents, and nanoparticles. These contaminants are frequently not regulated or inadequately regulated by state or Federal water quality programs. Information about the toxicity of these substances to fish and wildlife resources is generally limited, compared to more highly regulated contaminants, and some classes have been shown to cause affects (for example feminization of male fish, immunomodulation) that are not evaluated via traditional toxicity testing protocols. As a result, these compounds may pose a substantial, but currently poorly documented threat to aquatic ecosystems. Failure to identify and understand the impacts of these emerging contaminants on fish and wildlife resources may result in deleterious impacts to Great Lakes resources that can result in adverse ecological, economic and recreational consequences. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service received funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) for an Early Warning Program to detect and identify emerging contaminants and to evaluate the effects of these contaminants on fish and wildlife. The U.S. Geological Survey (WV Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and National Fish Health Research Laboratory, Leetown Science Center) developed and implemented a biological effects monitoring protocol to assist in this program. Fish collections and measurements of biomarkers of exposure in Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 occurred at individual sites within select Areas of Concern (AOCs). They provided an assessment of the utility of the suite of biomarkers and also identified sites for more in-depth analyses. Selected areas are characterized as areas with known emerging contaminants, sensitive or listed species, areas downstream from municipal wastewater discharges or receiving waters for industrial facilities, and/or areas susceptible to agricultural or urban contamination, or harbors or ports.U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceU.S. Fish and Wildlife Service EstEstEstimating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear imating Black Bear Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Density in New Mexico Using Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Noninvasive Genetic Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Sampling Coupled with Spatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit CaptureSpatially Explicit Capture-Recapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture MethodsRecapture Methods Matthew J.
