    Se han identificado una gran variedad de fotorreceptores en bacterias quimiótrofas y que la luz que perciben estos fotorreceptores gobierna su modo de vida, como por ejemplo vida unicelular móvil versus comunidades bacterianas adheridas a superficies o vida libre versus vida simbiótica o parasitaria. Las investigaciones del laboratorio de Inmunología y Microbiología Molecular de la Fundación Instituto Leloir demostraron cómo la percepción de la luz modula la capacidad de ciertas bacterias para infectar células del sistema inmune de mamíferos, y cómo en otras bacterias, los fotorreceptores funcionan como reguladores en procesos infectivos.Fil: Otero, Lisandro Horacio.

    There are many contemporary literary works that use classic or medieval historical or literary characters as scaffolding to create novel literary works, which revisit the past through the eyes of the present, updating it to highlight its validity and interest today. This process of literary intertextuality is evident in a very marked way in literary works of a historical nature. In this sense, Magdalena Lasala’s entire work has focused on this theme, mainly in the novel, which has made her one of the main exponents of current historical literature. In this paper, we propose to analyze the play Doña Jimena (2008) to analyze the processes of intertextual transformation that the medieval literary character undergoes in the work of the aragonese author. The analysis will focus on discovering the literary mechanisms by which the medieval character is presented as an anachronistically feminist woman and we will try to conclude what the ultimate ideological meaning of the work is.Muchas son las obras literarias contemporáneas que emplean personajes históricos o literarios clásicos o medievales como andamiaje para crear obras literarias novedosas, que revisitan el pasado desde los ojos del presente, actualizándolo para resaltar su vigencia e interés en la actualidad. Este proceso de intertextualidad literaria se pone de manifiesto de forma muy marcada en obras literarias de carácter histórico. En este sentido, la obra completa de Magdalena Lasala se ha volcado en esta temática, principalmente en la novela, lo que la ha convertido en una de las principales exponentes de literatura histórica actual. En la presente investigación, nos planteamos analizar la obra teatral Doña Jimena (2008) para analizar cuáles son los procesos de transformación intertextual que sufre el personaje literario medieval en la obra de la autora aragonesa. El análisis se centrará en descubrir los mecanismos literarios por los cuales el personaje medieval se presenta como una mujer anacrónicamente feminista e intentaremos concluir cuál es el sentido ideológico último de la obra

The holotype and allotype are deposited in the MZFC. The deposition of the paratypes is indicated by the acronyms or collector. Etymology. This lovely species is named in honor of Ms Jimena Llorente, wife of the second author. Distribution. (Fig. 27) The species is found in the coastal areas of Guerrero and Oaxaca west of the Sierra Madre del Sur on the Pacific slope. Habits and habitat. Va rga s et al. (1991, 1994) described the allotype locality, Río Santiago in Sierra de Atoyac, Guerrero: An area at the base of the mountain between 660 and 700 m, somewhat disturbed by coffee plantations which originally was an evergreen tropical forest with riparian vegetation along the rivers Santiago and Las Delicias. The climate is Aw 2 (w), very humid with annual precipitation more than 1000 mm. The combination of forest and coffee plantations creates partially shaded microhabitats. At 900 m and joining this locality is the Puente de los Lugardo. The locality of Azulillo (Candelaria Loxicha, Oaxaca) belongs to a region known as evergreen and semi-evergreen tropical forest, which also contains disturbed cultivated areas, with riparian vegetation along the Río Candelaria. The altitude is lower, between 370 and 500 m, but with the same climate. M. jimena is on the wing early in the morning between 0800 to 1000 h, and again after 1400 to 1630 h, often in mist or drizzle. They rest on the undersides of large leaves with wings outspread and antennae together. They fly with a mimic unidentified species of Heterocera. The flight is weak and difficult to see in the shade, generally above 3 meters. They fly for periods of 10 seconds before alighting. Biology. Unknown. Diagnosis. Hall and Lamas (2007) include the southern Mexican populations of Mesene jimena sp. nov., as conspecific with a polymorphic Mesene margaretta. Maza (1987), Vargas et al. (1991, 1994) and Luis et al. (2004) also were confused by this species (v. gr. Chimastrum margaretta, Mesene oriens ssp., Mesene margaretta ssp.).We contend, however, that Mesene jimena sp. nov. is a valid species, despite morphological similarities in the genitalia and the existence in both of 4 dorsal abdominal androconial scale pads. We recognize four classes of criteria that can elucidate the question of the species status of Mesene jimena sp. nov. as well as allopatric populations generally. These are morphology, temporal/spatial barriers, biogeographical factors and ecological differentiation. Each of these will be examined in turn with respect to the species status of Mesene jimena sp. nov. Morphology. Mesene jimena sp. nov. can be easily separated from M. margaretta by the following: The dorsal wing surface of both sexes is uniform light orange-yellow instead of red and with no elongated pointed black lines extending from the apex along the veins, separated (or not) by white scaling 1. The red flush in the discal area of the hind wing (Figs 5, 9, 11) typical of M. margaretta males is lacking. Although both sexes of Mesene jimena sp. nov. have black lines between the veins on the ventral surface, they are much shorter than the same markings in M. margaretta. In Mesene jimena sp. nov., the inner margin of the male ventral forewing is lighter ground color, lacking the black bar (Figs. 6, 10, 12) typical of M. margaretta. The black markings between the segments of the ventral abdomen, a prominent character of M. margaretta, are quite variable in Mesene jimena sp. nov., ranging from total absence (Fig. 4), to vestigial (Fig. 2). The genitalia of the two phenotypes are practically identical, but, discounting individual variation, there are small but consistent differences among the material examined (4 males and 4 females of each species). In Mesene jimena sp. nov. the anteroventrad lobes of the tegument are more rounded, not elongated as in M. margaretta (Figs. 16, 19, 20). In a lateral view, the vinculum of Mesene jimena sp. nov. is more strongly “S” shaped and bowed more sharply closer to the saccus. (Fig. 16) In M margaretta, it is straighter or more uniformly curved (Figs. 19, 20). In the female genitalia, the signa of M. margaretta are more uniform in size and larger (Fig. 26); the dorsal plate in M. margaretta is larger, with a more pronounced cleavage between the plates (Fig. 25), and the horseshoe shaped structure less sclerotized and more separated from the ventral plate (Fig. 24). Space and time. Spatial and temporal barriers relating to perching behavior have been discussed for Neotropical riodinid butterflies (Callaghan, 1983; Hall 1999; Hall and Harvey, 2002 b). In this case it is shown that closely related congeneric riodinid butterflies often perch at different times and microhabitats (Callaghan, 1983). If two populations are characterized by perching in different times and localities, presumably this would be an effective potential isolating mechanism, thus reducing their interbreeding potential. This is true in the case of Mesene jimena sp. nov. and M. margaretta. Mesene jimena sp. nov. is active during the early morning and late afternoon, and under inclement weather conditions, whereas M. margaretta males perch in treefalls and along trails in the early afternoon in sunflecks. DeVries (1993) reports activity between 0900 and 1100 h in Costa Rica. In Colombia one of us (CJC) has observed males perching between 1100 and 1400 h. In Mexico, they fly from 900 to 1700 h, peaking around 1200 – 1430 h (Llorente and Luis-Martinez, pers. obs.). Biogeography. Another indication of species status would be a distribution range corresponding to an area of high endemism among butterflies, as well as other organisms. It has been suggested that there is a high correlation between riodinid species and recognized regions of endemism, particularly in the Amazon (Hall and Harvey, 2002 a). The Pacific region of Mexico shows the greatest amount of endemism in the country (paleo and neo-endemism). The northern limits of the distribution of the Neotropical fauna confronted with strong barriers on the Mexican Pacific slope favor speciation. In the diverse tropical and mesophylic mountain forests of this region endemic 1. The variation on the extent of the black and white apical markings on M. margaretta appears to be within populations and not between them. In the northern coastal range of Venezuela (Cordillera de la Costa) in the Provinces of Aragua and Carabobo, both phenotypes shown in Figs. 9–14 fly together in the same habitat, from 200 to 1550 m. (Juan C de Sousa, pers. com.). Similar differences are found in populations at Cali, Valle del Cauca and Villavicencio, Meta, in Colombia.(CJC, pers. obs.). In El Salvador, the M. margaretta population shows a considerable reduction of the black forewing markings; however there are also individuals with normal markings. In Mexico and Guatemala, the M. margaretta populations (Figs. 5 – 8) show no significant variation. subfamilies, genera, species and subspecies are found that characterize the distinct provinces which drain into the Pacific. These provinces are South Sonora, Mexican Pacific Coast, South Sierra Madre Occidental, the West of Transmexican Volcanic Belt, Balsas Basin, and Sierra Madre del Sur (Morrone et al., 1999, 2002; Espinosa et al. 2000, 2008). Morrone (2001: 40 – 42) includes the area where Mesene jimena sp. nov. is found in the biotic province called “Provincia de la Costa Pacífica Mexicana”, and he mentions numerous endemics found there. The 40 characteristic taxa that Morrone enumerates for the Provincia de la Costa Pacífica Mexicana include taxa from the south of Sinaloa y Michoacán, as well as from dry areas like the “islas húmedas”, and two from humid areas where Mesene jimena sp. nov. is found. Previously, Llorente (1984) had delimited an area of endemism as a sub-region of this province, considering only Oaxaca and Guerrero on the Mexican Pacific Coast between the isthmus of Tehuantepec, a very dry region serving as a barrier between Oaxaca and Chiapas, and the dry Balsas basin on the coast to the northwest. (Fig. 27). To the north, the area is separated by the heights of the Sierra Madre del Sur of over 2000m. This area of endemism is closely related with the Province of the Sierra Madre del Sur, but the limits between both are forests between 1000 and 2000 m that include holm oak forests and cloud forests of mid elevation, as characterized in Llorente and Escalante (1992). These two barriers also limit many other species of Papilionoidea. For Riodinidae, this region supports endemism on the level of genus and species. Examples are Lamphiotes velazquezi, (Beutelspacher, 1976), Callaghan, 1982; Calephelis acapulcoensis, McAlpine, 1971, Exoplisia azuleja, Callaghan, Llorente & Luis, 2007, and Theope villai. Beutelspacher, 1981. (Beutelspacher 1976, Llorente-Bousquets 1988, Llorente-Bousquets & Escalante 1992, Llorente-Bousquets & Luis-Martínez 1992, Llorente-Bousquets et al. 1992, 1993, 2006, Vargas et al. 1996, Luis-Martínez et al. 1996, 2003, Austin et al. 2007, Callaghan et al. 2007). In contrast, Mesene margaretta ranges from eastern Ecuador (Hall and Lamas, 2007); Colombia on both slopes of the Andes, the northern Andes of Venezuela, then north through Central America to Mexico (CJC). The two species, M. margaretta and Mesene jimena sp. nov. are allopatric in Mexico, and specimens examined show no signs of interbreeding, nor has a blend zone been discovered despite intensive collecting. Mesene margaretta is found from Chiapas to San Luis Potosí on the Atlantic slope. (Fig. 27) Records from Mexico are shown below from a number of museum collections. Data with the locality of Candelaria, Oaxaca is in error. The material was gathered from local collectors by Edward Welling, a butterfly dealer, and probably represents other localities. Extensive collecting in the Pacific slope in Oaxaca by the junior authors over the last 30 years has failed to record Mesene margaretta from this area. Mexican specimens of M margaretta examined. A total of 240 specimens. MEXICO. SAN LUIS POTOSÍ: La Mera Ceiba, Tamazunchale 23 Jan.

Ecology. Mesene jimena sp. nov. is confined to evergreen and semi-evergreen humid forest of Guerrero and Oaxaca Pacific slope below 700 m. It appears this species is associated only with this vegetation and high humidity. Conversely, M. margaretta in Mexico inhabits dry seasonal forest and cloud forest from 400 to 1350 m. In accordance with Llorente (1984, 1996) and Llorente and Escalante (1992) the differentiation of species and subspecies levels in the Mexican Pacific depends on their range of habitat. When they are closely tied to a limited altitudinal range and habitat, their isolation is more complete and the possibilities of divergence to the species level are greater. Conversely, if their distribution is wide and unlimited by climatic and altitudinal barriers, their differentiation between populations is less, as in the case of Pereute charops sspp., Dismorphia amphiona sspp., Rhetus arcius sspp. and M. margaretta, all of which have greater altitudinal and climatic distribution than Mesene jimena sp. nov. The following table summarizes the differences between the two taxa. The extent to which the aforementioned criteria will apply to other groups must be tested in practice, with supportive

    En el libro El proyecto multipropósito Baba: disputas sobre desarrollo y sustentabilidad, la autora, María Jimena Sasso Rojas, se aventura a afirmar, a partir del marco teórico en el que basa su análisis, que la no sustentabilidad social y ambiental del PMB (siglas para Proyecto Multipropósito Baba), radica en la imposibilidad de lograr un acuerdo entre los actores involucrados en el conflicto (Sasso Rojas, 2009: 12). Y si bien en el desarrollo de su trabajo, la autora Sasso Rojas nos enseña algunas consideraciones interesantes con respecto al desarrollo y a la sustentabilidad, considero que su afirmación es equivocada y que incluso en algunos pasajes la aventura de la afirmación tiene características desmedidas. Es posible, además, que a partir de las mismas argumentaciones teóricas de esta autora, se pueda llegar a otra conclusión diferente y que no necesariamente conlleve a una no sustentabilidad
