Pycnogonum sentus Staples 2019, sp. nov.
No full textPycnogonum sentus sp. nov. Figure 17 A–H; Plate 6A, B Material examined. Holotype, male (NHMUK 2018.45), Southwest Indian Ocean, Coral Seamount, 41°21.46'S, 42˚54.53'E, ROV, 702 m, specimen JC066-3447, amongst sortings, 20 November 2011. Description. Male holotype. Trunk (Fig. 17A, B. Plate 6A, B) segmented, dorsal surfaces granular, very coarse along trunk midline, lateral processes and legs, body surface interspaced with fine spinules, posterior margin of trunk segments 1, 2 and 3 form a raised transverse rim, dorso-median mounds varying from being rounded on segment 1 to being progressively more conical on segments 2 and 3, segment 4 with a single, small, conical median tubercle, cephalon with granulose mound immediately behind ocular tubercle, reaching to approximately half height of ocular tubercle (Fig. 17A); lateral processes narrowly separated at bases, diverging distally, each lateral process shorter than width at base, well-developed dorsodistal, tuberculose mounds on lateral processes 2 to 4, first lateral processes granulose distally but without prominent mound. Ocular tubercle on anterior margin of cephalon, wider than tall, dorsal surface flat in lateral view with small anterior papillose tubercle; four eyes unpigmented in preserved specimen. Proboscis almost half trunk length, evenly tapered from base to rounded tip, without prominences or tubercles, supposed oral glands (see Staples 2002) present, jaws tri-radiate, slightly recessed. Abdomen (Fig. 17F) unarticulated at base, reaching to about end of coxa 2, width about one-third length, carried almost horizontally, with prominent broad, granular, almost keel-like process over-reaching distal margin giving the impression that the abdomen tapers to a fine point when viewed dorsally. Oviger (Fig. 17E) segmentation incomplete and indistinct, possibly 2 to 4 segmented at this stage of development with perhaps a terminal claw, two spines present on distal margin of first segment. Third leg (Fig. 17G) robust, ecdysial line not evident, dorsal surfaces distinctly granular, coxa 2 longer than coxae 1 and 3, femur and tibiae each with single long, fine, dorsodistal seta, femur longer than either tibia, tibia 1 longer than tibia 2, ventral surfaces of tibia 2 and tarsus with dense field of spines; propodus gently curved, no hint of heel, propodal sole with about eighteen slender spines, length of claw about 40% of propodus length, auxiliary claws absent. Gonopores not evident. Coxal pellicula (vide Staples, 2007) not evident. Measurements of holotype (mm).Trunk length (frontal margin of cephalic segment to tip of 4 th lateral process), 3.152; width across 2 nd lateral processes, 1.640; proboscis length (ventral), 1.680; proboscis width at base 0.784; proboscis width at tip, 0.320; abdomen length (dorsal), 0.944. Third leg: coxa 1, 0.320; coxa 2, 0.416; coxa 3, 0.320; femur,1.112; tibia 1, 0.976; tibia 2, 0.824; tarsus, 0.200; propodus, 0.800; claw, 0.312. Etymology. From the Latin sentus (rough), referring to the rough or granular surface. Remarks. Although this specimen is not fully mature, the species-determinate characters are sufficiently distinct to identify the species subsequently. Using Stock’s (1966b) key to this genus, the new species can be followed to couplet 22b where it keys out with P. tenue Slater, 1879 but from which it differs significantly in the shape of the proboscis. The less compact P. guyanae Stock, 1974 shares some similarity with this species but differs principally in the shape of the femur and the absence of a post-ocular tubercle. The presence of a tubercle or process on the dorsodistal surface of the abdomen is certainly not unique in the genus but none appear to be as prominent as in this species.Published as part of Staples, David A., 2019, Pycnogonids (Arthropoda, Pycnogonida) from the Southwest Indian Ridge, pp. 401-449 in Zootaxa 4567 (3) on page 435, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4567.3.1, http://zenodo.org/record/259894

At the intersection of disability and masculinity: Exploring gender and bodily difference in India
No full textThis is the accepted version of the following article: STAPLES, J. (2011), At the intersection of disability
and masculinity: exploring gender and bodily difference in India. Journal of the Royal Anthropological
Institute, 17: 545–562. doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9655.2011.01706.x, which has been published in final form at
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-9655.2011.01706.x/abstract.Despite a conventional view that bodily impairments are necessarily interpreted as emasculating and negative, this article – drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with men affected by leprosy and by cerebral palsy (CP) in India – offers a more nuanced account of how disabled men negotiate their gendered identities. Different kinds of impairments have very specific, context-defined, meanings that, in turn, have different implications for how gender and disability might intersect. Rather than diminishing masculinity in all instances – some bodily differences, as the article demonstrates, might even be enacted as hyper-masculine – impairments are shown rather to reshape understandings of the masculine in sometimes unexpected ways. And while my informants were constrained both by ableist norms and by the biological limitations of their own bodies, ambivalence towards certain forms of masculinity also afforded them space to perform their identities more creatively, sometimes to potentially positive effect.The Economic and Social Research Council and the British Academy
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

Female holotype. Trunk moderately elongate (Fig. 2A), gently arched, fully segmented in dorsal and ventral views, midline smooth, ventral and dorsal surface segments 1 to 3 lowly inflated distally (Fig. 2B); lateral processes slightly inflated, narrowest at bases, separated from the trunk by faint suture line that also straddles the trunk behind the ocular tubercle, length of lateral processes about equal to basal width (but slightly variable), first three lateral processes separated by 60 to 75% of basal diameter, processes 3 and 4 much closer but distinctly separated (Plate 2A), spines on lateral processes tiny, in order 2:2;2;2, those on inner margins of lateral process 1 and 4 inconspicuous, obscure. Neck region of cephalon short, narrowing from anterior margin to bases of ovigers, width at narrowest point greater than trunk width, strong lobes at bases of chelifore implants, each with one to three spinules, small conical mound present between the lobes. Ocular tubercle width at base greater than height, two well-defined apical papillae, four eyes pigmented (Plate 2C). Proboscis angled downwards, consisting of a swollen basal part and distal tubiform part, (Fig. 2B; Plate 2B, E), tubiform part represents about 40% overall length, distally hirsute, setae simple, three petal-shaped lips, flared when open; basal part narrowing in mid-region, widest proximally, ventral surface vaguely uneven. Anal tubercle short, inflated, inclined at about forty-five degrees (Plate 2E), anal slit gaping. Chelifore scape (Plate 2B) directed ventrally, reaching about level with the merger of the proximal and distal parts of proboscis, with deep ventral recess near base, single, strong spine on inner distal margin, variably accompanied by one or two smaller dorsal spines; chela mostly carried anaxially, with the moveable finger inner-most or upper-most, fingers of about equal length to each other, about 70% palm length, fingers off-set at tip, not meeting, fixed finger rounded at tip and in cross-section, digit-like, single stout tooth present at about one-fifth length, outer distal surface covered with tiny, blunt, granules, moveable finger smooth, curved, slightly widened and hooked at tip; chela palm with prominent protuberance on ventrodistal surface near base of fixed finger (Figs 2I, J), protuberance shaped much like the fixed finger but about half length and broader, surface with about six strong spines distally and several lesser proximal spines. Oviger (Fig. 2E) ten-segmented, bases in contact with anterior margin of first lateral processes, barely evident in dorsal view, segment four longest, with swelling on the posterior surface presumably representing the site of a pore opening, segment 5 strongly curved, strigilis well-developed, terminal claw about 1.4 times length of segment 10, seven or more rake-like teeth spread around distal surface; spines on segments 7–10 simple, strong, curved forward, spine formula estimated 4:2:3:3 with additional straight spines on distal ventral and dorsal surfaces. Leg (Fig. 2F) surface irregular, thickened cuticular line extends laterally from coxa 1 to base of tarsus; coxa 1 with few tiny distal spines; coxa 2 about 1.5 times length coxa 3, with several dorsal and ventral spines, strongly swollen ventrodistally in region of genital pore; coxa 3 with several strong ventral spines; femur marginally longer than tibia 2, ventral surface greatly swollen in region between two prominent, spine-tipped, peaks occurring at about one-third and two-thirds length, each peak sits atop base with many irregular spinous lateral protuberances, dorsal surface with few strong spines evenly-spaced along its length and with 4 to 5 closely-spaced spines distally, spines without prominent bases, the distal margin is fringed with stronger spines; second tibia about one-fifth longer than first tibia, both tibiae with three pair of conical dorsolateral swellings, each with one or two apical spines and several much smaller lateral spines (Fig. 2G), third swelling on tibia 1 placed on distal margin, third swelling on tibia 2 subterminal; tarsus with several ventrodistal spines and single spine-tipped dorsodistal process; propodus variably curved, dorsal surface with four to eight spines, distal margin over-reaching base of main claw (Fig. 2H), sole with dense field of spines, heel well-defined, mostly with four spines but 5 and 6 also sometimes present, heel spines of about equal size, terminal claw strong, reaching to base of heel when folded. All leg spines sit on a small tubercle or socle. Genital pore large, round, conspicuously present on ventrodistal surface, slightly posterior to median line, of second coxae all legs (Plate 2F). Male smaller than female. Spination of trunk and legs more prominent and abundant (Fig. 3A, Plate 2D), basal tubercle or socle on which many spines sit is taller. Oviger (Fig. 3B) ten-segmented, segment five longest, curved, almost twice length segment four, several small, curved spines along outer dorsal margin, prominent distal apophysis digitiform, bearing two, perhaps three, short terminal spines, apophysis slightly curved inwards and backwards, segments 7 to10 seemingly without spines, segment ten short, terminal claw simple, equal to, or much shorter than tenth segment, margins irregular (Fig. 3C). Scape narrows proximally but lacks distinct ventral constriction found in females. Cephalic lobes at bases of chelifores bulbous, inflated more-so than female. Coxa 2 relatively longer than female, close to twice the length of coxa 3, with prominent spine-tipped tubercle at about one-third length of dorsal surface. Femur as for female but more slender, and slightly inflated distally, dorsodistal spinous fringe more-pronounced, corona-like. Propodal sole spines more robust and fewer in number.

Named for Dr John Chuk the collector and photographer of many specimens. Distribution. The Investigator Group, South Australia; western, central (including Port Phillip) and eastern regions of the Victorian coast and east Bass Strait Islands, Tasmania. Depth 4 to 21 m. Remarks. Superficially, the differences between this species and A. aria appear to be subtle but on close examination they are distinctive. These differences are: a much larger overall size, the presence of a digitiform process on the chela palm, the distinct separation of trunk segment 3 and 4 accompanied by a ventral segmentation line, a more defined propodal heel and ten-segmented male ovigers. The larger size of A. chuki is evident at the most advanced juvenile stage. The chelae are mostly carried anaxially, transverse to the oral surface but a wide arthrodial membrane at the base of the chela permits considerable lateral movement. The chela moveable finger is inner-most or upper-most (Plate 2B). In lateral view, the fixed finger and the ventrodistal process can form a confusing chelate appearance. The orientation of the proboscis ranges from almost horizontal to near vertical downwards. Movement is made possible by a wide arthrodial membrane at the base of the proboscis. General comments relating to variability in the spination of A. aria apply equally to this species. The number of propodal heel spines is mostly four, but this varies from three to six. The number of female oviger strigilis spines is difficult to determine with some being concealed by the orientation of the tiny oviger. Only curved spines are recorded as part of the spine formula. The apparent absence of male strigilis spines is puzzling but perhaps the complete absence of a strigilis in male specimens of A. aria indicates that the settlement of epizoites in the genus is discouraged by chemical means rather than physical contact.Published as part of Staples, D.
