Description. Mature larva. Body length 4–4.5 mm excluding caudal filaments. Head uniformly reddish brown with median ocellus between antennae, width approximately 2.5 times length. Epicranial sutures clearly visible, passing through lateral ocelli and anterior margin of compound eyes, continuing to lateral margin of head (Fig. 2 A). Carapace general coloration reddish brown, with one pale-coloured circular depression on each side of midline of anterior region of carapace, present at approximately 0.26 times length of carapace from posterior margin of head (Fig. 2 B) and with many dark ridges including few ridges resembling longitudinal lines on surface (Fig. 2 C). Head. Antenna (Fig. 4) 7-segmented including scape and pedicel, longer than distance from antennal base to anterior margin of head; segment III longest and shorter than combined length of segments IV–VII. Labrum (Fig. 6) prominent when larva viewed dorsally, narrow, approximately 3.7 times wider than long, anterior margin fringed with dense fine setae. Left and right mandibles similar. Outer canine of mandibles longer and broader than inner canine, with three apical teeth, outer tooth small, inner tooth larger with margin serrated near apex with 4–5 small spines; inner canine with two apical teeth, inner one slightly larger, inner margin serrated near apex with 3–5 spines. 8–10 long serrated bristles arising from base of inner canine. Single stout, feathered seta present lateromedially on each mandible (Fig. 5). Maxillae (Fig. 7) crowned by rigid canine and three subequal moveable dentisetae; three long feathered, stout bristles arising near base of apical canine and dentisetae on galea-lacinia. Single unserrated bristle arising about two-thirds of way down sclerotized section of galea-lacinia. Length ratio of maxillary palp segments from basal one to apical one: 1.9:3.2:1. Labial palpi 3-segmented, length ratio of labial palp segments from basal one to apical one: 2:1.65:1 (Fig. 8). Legs. Dorsal margin of fore femur with 20 or 21 simple, short, feathery setae; ventral margin of fore tibia with 14 or 15 pectinate setae (Fig. 9). Tarsal claws of all three pairs of legs without denticles. Abdomen. Abdominal gills I–VI. Gill I large and branched (Fig. 10). Gill II broad, leaf-like and unbranched (Fig. 11). Gills III–V with multiple branching filaments (Fig. 12). Gill VI tiny, unbranched. Posterolateral projections of abdominal segments VII–IX broad, apex pointed (Figs. 2 & 3). Three retractile, short and feathery caudal filaments present. Sub-imago and Imago. Unknown. Distribution. India (Central Western Ghats). Etymology. This species is named after the place of collection, Someshwara Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka, India. Diagnosis. Prosopistoma someshwarensis n. sp. is most similar to P. alaini Bojková & Soldán 2015, a recently described species from Algeria (Bojková & Soldán 2015). However, P. someshwarensis n. sp. can be distinguished from all other species of Prosopistoma, including P. alaini, by the following combination of characters: (i) antenna 7-segmented including scape and pedicel; segment III the longest and shorter than combined length of segments IV–VII (Fig. 4); (ii) epicranial sutures clearly visible, passing through anterior margin of lateral ocelli and between compound eyes and antennal bases or through lateral ocelli and anterior margin of compound eyes, continuing to lateral margin of head (Fig. 2 A); (iii) carapace general coloration reddish brown, with one pale-coloured circular depression on each side of midline of anterior region of carapace (Fig. 2 B) and with few longitudinal line that looks like a ridge on its surface (Fig. 2 C); (iv) 8–10 long serrated bristles arising from the base of inner canine (Fig. 5); (v) ventral margin of fore-tibia with 14–15 pectinate setae (Fig. 9) and (vi) postero-lateral projections on abdominal segments VII–IX broad and apex pointed (Figs. 2 & 3). Ecology. The new species was collected from riffle habitat, underneath cobbles and gravel, in tributaries of the Seethanadi River, a west-flowing river in the central Western Ghats. The sampling sites were all located within tropical wet evergreen forests. The streams (Dulli Hole, Yele Hole and Onakeabbi falls) had average widths ranging from 0.92 m to 9.86 m and average depths ranging from 0.90 cm to 12.24 cm through the three seasons of sampling. The pH ranged from 6.26 to 8.48 and water temperature ranged from 20.8°C to 28.8°C.Published as part of Roopa, S. Ramya, Selvakumar, C., Subramanian, K. A. & Sivaramakrishnan, K.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
