Biocomputing in a Nutshell
No full textThis website, written by Ulf Reimer and Georg Fuellen and presented by the University of Bielefeld in Germany, offers a broad introduction to bioinformatics. Beginning with the development of modern molecular biology, and then discussing the huge amount of data and how to analyze it, the article concludes that an interdisciplinary approach to biocomputing is advantageous because it allows research to "transcend the limits of reductionism; from the vast quantities of bytes and pieces, the contours of complex structures and relationships might emerge from the genetic alphabet soup as life itself once emerged from the primordial soup."

No full textThis is the fifth of a series of reports from the research program Youth Culture in Sweden, FUS. In the first article, Johan Fornäs discusses how concepts such as sphere, space, field and institution may be used in order to understand processes of power and resistance. Specific attention is given to thinkers such as Habermas, Foucalt, Bourdieu and Willis, but Fornäs also discusses more recent feminist theory as well as theories of ethnicity and identity. In the second article, Magdalena Czaplicka analyses young people’s trajectories through the educational system and into the labour market. She focuses on how the choices and opportunities given to youth are structured by factors such as class and gender. Anders Löfgren applies the concepts of life project and arena on identity formation. Through the use of ideas from social theory and cultural geography, he argues that life projects in late modernity, although still grounded in local environments, are becoming more and more globalised. Mats Lieberg discusses the importance of public spaces for young people’s entrances into adulthood. He also analyses how young people make use of public spaces in their everyday life practices. Bo Reimer discusses the role of the mass media for young people in everyday life. He focuses on how the electronic media have changed social behaviour, and on how young people act – and react – in an environment saturated by the mass media. Ulf Boëthius discusses youth, popular culture and media through the use of the concept of moral panics. In an historical overview, he shows how the concept may be applied to a number of heated debates and conflicts centrered around youth and popular culture that have taken place during the latest century. He also discusses whether such panics still are possible in late modernity. Finally, Thomas Ziehe analyses the effects of modernization and rationalization in the spheres of education and science. He specifically focuses on the self-reflexivity which he argues cannot be avoided anywhere in late modernity

Named after Dr. Cleveland Hickman, Jr., who graciously invited the first author to the Galápagos, and collected the first specimens of this new species. Noun in the genitive case. Material examined. Type locality: Ecuador, Galapagos: Floreana I., La Batielle, 1.2904°S 90.4989°W. Holotype: Specimen number MHNG-INVE-67495. Colony of approximately 40 polyps connected by well-developed coenenchyme on two branches of Antipathes galapagensis Diechmann, 1941 branches. Both branches approximately 7 cm long. Polyps approximately 1.5–4.0 mm in diameter, and approximately 1.0–6.0 mm in height from coenenchyme. Coenenchyme covers branches of antipatharian. Polyps and coenenchyme sand encrusted, cream-yellow in color. Collected from La Batielle, Floreana I., Galapagos, Ecuador, at 31.4 m by A. Chiriboga (AC), March 13, 2007. Preserved in 99.5% ethanol.

Sequences. See Table 1. Description. Size: Polyps in situ approximately 4–12 mm in diameter when open, and approximately 4–15 mm in height. Morphology: Antipathozoanthus hickmani has approximately 40 bright yellow and/ or red tentacles, with long red, yellow, or cream-colored polyps that extend well clear of the coenenchyme (Figure 1). Tentacles are almost always longer than the expanded oral disk diameter. Cnidae: Basitrichs and microbasic p-mastigophores (often difficult to distinguish), holotrichs (large and medium), spirocysts (see Table 2, Figure 9). Table ļ. Examined zoanthid specimens for new species from the Galapagos Islands, and GenBank Accession Numbers. NA = not available or data not acquired. aSpecimens with the designations such as 03-560 are from 2001-2004 surveys (see Reimer et al. 2008b). Other specimens are from 2007 and have either specimen numbers (e.g. 471) in JDR’s collection, or museum type specimen numbers as given.

Differential diagnosis. Differs from Antipathozoanthus macaronesicus (Ocaña & Brito, 2004) (with regards to distribution; Galapagos as opposed to Cape Verde), coloration (no red or cream colors observed in A. macaronesicus), substrate (Antipathes galapagensis as opposed to Tanacetipathes cavernicola Opresko, 2001). Other morphologically similar and undescribed zoanthids (epizoic on antipatharians, similar sizes, yellowish in color) have been recorded from Madagascar and Japan (specimens in JDR’s collection), although these other specimens were found on different antipatharian species than Antipathozoanthus hickmani, and were never red or cream in color. Antipathozoanthus hickmani is the only zoanthid in the Galápagos found on living Antipathes galapagensis (Table 3). Habitat and distribution. All collected samples from Galapagos were on the black coral Antipathes galapagensis, at depths of 12 m to 35 m. Although A. galapagensis is found throughout the archipelago, Antipathozoanthus hickmani colonies were observed only at Santiago, Floreana, Isabela and Pinzon Islands, and it may be that this genus has a patchy distribution in the Galápagos. A. hickmani is potentially also found at Isla del Coco (Costa Rica) on the same antipatharian species, based on Museo de Zoologia, University of Costa Rica specimen UCR 827, although this has yet to be confirmed with detailed examinations. Biology and associated species. Antipathozoanthus hickmani may cover only a portion of a living Antipathes galapagensis black coral colony, or cover the entire colony, suggesting this species may be parasitic. Some A. hickmani specimens were found on completely dead A. galapagensis colonies or branches. Notes. Previously mentioned in Reimer et al. (2008b, 2010) and Hickman (2008) as Parazoanthus sp. G1.Published as part of Reimer, James & Fujii, Takuma, 2010, Four new species and one new genus of zoanthids (Cnidaria, Hexacorallia) from the Galapagos Islands, pp. 1-36 in ZooKeys 42 (42) on pages 6-14, DOI: 10.3897/zookeys.42.378, http://zenodo.org/record/57665
