Description of the axial skeleton of Liolaemus arambarensis Verrastro et al. (Iguania, Liolaemidae) : pre-sacral and sacral regions
No full textLiolaemus arambarensis Verrastro, Veronese, Bujes & Dias Filho, 2003 (Iguania, Liolaemidae) é um pequeno lagarto de areia, que vive nos ambientes de restingas da Laguna dos Patos. A descrição do esqueleto desta espécie pode elucidar algumas relações filogenéticas em relação a outras espécies do gênero. Tendo por objetivo a descrição das regiões pré-sacral e sacral do esqueleto axial de L. arambarensis, foram analisados sete exemplares da espécie. Observou-se que a maior estrutura axial é a coluna vertebral, que é dividida nas regiões: cervical, dorsal, sacral e caudal. A região cervical possui oito vértebras, e as costelas aparecem a partir da quarta vértebra. A região dorsal é dividida em: torácica, com cinco vértebras portando costelas unidas ao esterno; e pós-torácica, com 11 vértebras portando costelas livres. Segue-se a região sacral com duas vértebras fusionadas, que portam processos transversos fortemente expandidos lateralmente. O esterno de L. arambarensis constitui-se de uma placa cartilaginosa calcificada que se comunica com a região torácica da coluna vertebral e com a cintura escapular. Em vista do descrito anteriormente, pode-se dizer que L. arambarensis apresenta os padrões de esqueleto axial descritos para espécies de sua família e gênero.Liolaemus arambarensis Verrastro, Veronese, Bujes & Dias Filho, 2003 (Iguania: Liolaemidae) is a small sand lizard that inhabits restingas in the Patos Lagoon, Southern Brazil. The description of the skeleton in this species could give some insights about the phylogenetic relationships with other species of the genus. With the main goal of describing the pre-sacral and sacral regions of the axial skeleton of L. arambarensis, a total of seven individuals were analyzed. It was observed that the largest axial structure is the vertebral column that is divided into four regions: cervical, dorsal, sacral and caudal. The cervical region presents eight vertebra and the ribs could be observed after the fourth vertebrae. The dorsal region is divided in: thoracic with five vertebra carrying five ribs joined to stern, and post-thoracic with 11 vertebra and free ribs. The sacral region has two fused vertebra that present transversal processes highly expanded laterally. The stern of L. arambarensis is composed by a calcified cartilaginous plate that communicates with the thoracic region of the vertebral column, and with the scapular waist. Regarding the described previously, L. arambarensis presents the patterns of axial skeleton described for the species in its family and genus

Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem

Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism

Liolaemus gardeli Verrastro & Maneyro & Da Silva & Farias 2017, sp. nov.
No full textLiolaemus gardeli sp. nov. Holotype. ZVC-R 6823, adult male collected by L. Verrastro, R. Maneyro, and G. Scaron on February 21, 2014, in an area of sand dunes in the Tacuarembó department (31°58'43''S, 55°31'18.7''W), Uruguay. Paratypes. All specimens were collected in the same area and locality: ZVC-R 6824–6831, collected on February 21, 2014, by L. Verrastro, R. Maneyro, and G. Scaron; UFRGS 6630–6637 collected on March 27, 2013, by L. Verrastro and G. Scaron. Diagnosis. Liolaemus gardeli is a member of the wiegmannii group because it presents lorilabial scales smaller than the supralabials and narrow (longer than wider) supralabial scales. The mental scales are in contact with the sublabials. The infralabials are concave. Liolaemus gardeli differs from other Liolaemus spp. of the wiegmannii group by its large, blood-colored stain at the gular region in males that reaches the rostral, infralabial, and supralabial scales. There are red dots on the scales of the posterior region of the ear, the canthal scales, the superciliary, and the inner ciliary scales, features totally absent in other species of the L. wiegmanni group. The rostral scale is partially or slightly subdivided by the central postrostral. The scales of the temporal region are smooth, with a slight rugosity on the upper region; there are two large parietals that reach half of the interparietal. The species has a large mental scale. The pattern on the dorsal part of the body presents two mid-dorsal rows of quadrangular-shaped stains, with the darker area being larger than the lighter area, a feature absent in all other species of the L. wiegmanni group. In addition, L. gardeli is one of the smallest species in the L. wiegmannii group. Liolaemus gardeli has nasal scales (in the shape of a drop) in a dorsal position, with the nostrils occupying half of the scale, and narrower at the anterior end; this differs from L. wiegmannii, which has laterally-directed nostrils, a nasal scale in dorsal position, and the nostril occupying half of the scale. It also differs from L. occipitalis, in which the nostril occupies most of the scale (Etheridge 2000); from L. cuyumhue, in which the nostril is dorsolaterally positioned and occupies less than half of the scale (Ávila et al. 2009); and, from L. azarai, in which the nostril is dorsolaterally positioned (Ávila 2003). Liolaemus gardeli has two rows of lorilabial scales between the subocular and supralabial regions; it differs from L. arambarensis, which has one row of lorilabial scales (Verrastro et al. 2003), L. cuyumhue, which has two to three rows (Ávila et al. 2009), and L. lutzae, which has only one row (Etheridge 2000). The head scales of L. gardeli are smooth, while the temporal scales are smooth and slightly rugose on the upper temporal region; in contrast, the temporal scales are keeled and/or rugose in L. wiegmannii (Fig. 8). The mental scale of L. gardeli is higher than in all other species of the L. wiegmannii group, and the posterior side, which is in contact with the postmental scales, ends at a single point. A frontal scale is present, similar to L. wiegmannii, but differing from L. occipitalis and L. lutzae, which do not have a frontal scale. The rostral scale of L. gardeli is large and slightly or partially subdivided by the central postrostral scale, which differs from all other species of the group; it also differs from L. occipitalis, which has two rows of postrostral scales. The dorsal scales of L. gardeli are imbricate and strongly keeled, resembling those of L. riojanus, L. scapularis, L. lutzae, L. azarai, L. occipitalis, L. arambarensis, and L. wiegmannii, but differing from other species of the group: L. multimaculatus, L. rabinoi, L. cuyumhue, and L. salinicola, which have smooth or slightly keeled dorsal scales. The lateral scales of L. gardeli resemble those of L. occipitalis, L. azarai, L. lutzae, and L. wiegmannii, presenting a common pattern that differentiates the dorsal from the ventral region (Etheridge 2000). Description of male holotype: ZVC-R 6823 (RML 2778 (Fig. 9) Adult male has 49.98 mm SVL, 11.60 mm HL, 10.20 mm HW, with its entire tail autotomized. There are smooth dorsal head scales, including on the temporal region (upper scales slightly rugose). The rostal is slightly subdivided on its upper part by a central postrostral scale and one row of small postrostral scales continues with the lorilabial. There is a gout-shaped nasal scale in the dorsal position, narrower on the anterior extremity, with the nostril occupying half of the scale. There are six irregular internasals, two rows of small scales between the supralabials and the subocular, a pentagonal interparietal with a pineal eye, and two large parietal scales that reach half of the interparietal. There are four large supraorbital scales and a circumorbital circle with small scales that reach the anterior supraorbitals. Scales of the frontal region are irregular. There is one frontal scale that is larger than the adjacent scales, seven supraoculars (the median longer than wider and larger with no evident supraocular semicircle, and laterally separated from the supraciliaries by small supraoculars), and two canthal scales (the anterior smaller and posterior larger and longer). The orbit is surrounded above by seven elongated, oblique, and overlapped superciliaries. There is (in order) only one simple preocular (as high as long) followed by a short, upper postocular (all with a sharp keel along the superior edge). There are small eyelids, occurring immediately below a zone of small reddish ciliary scales, granular inner ciliaries, outer ciliaries slightly projected, three loreals, 10–12 lorilabials in two complete rows (with the scales of the inferior row larger, longer, and more regular than those from the superior row), and lorilabials separated anteriorly (i.e., the supralabials separated from the loreals) and posteriorly (the supralabials separated from the suboculars). There are five supralabials, all longer than taller, a shorter posterior supralabial followed by a set of small and irregular postlabials. The temporals are smooth, juxtaposed anteriorly, with the four, slightly keeled posteriors. The opening of the auditory canal is oblong, higher than larger, anteriorly bordered by a series of small auricular, slightly projected, convex scales. The mental scale is wider than the rostral (1.85 mm in width by 1.33 mm in length), limited posteriorly by two large and wide postmentals and limited laterally by the first infralabial and the first sublabial. There are five infralabials that contact inferiorly with three to four sublabials, three to four pairs of mental shields that are separated anteriorly by three small scales that diverge posteriorly, and a gular region with smooth, flattened, and imbricate scales. The anterior dorsal nuchals are small and smooth, with 57 dorsal body scales that are strongly keeled and imbricate. There are 56 ventral scales (longer than wide and larger than the dorsal), that are imbricate and smooth); 51 of these scales are around the mid-body. There are keeled, superior lateral scales and smooth inferior lateral scales. The dorsal scales of the limbs are keeled similarly to those of the body scales. The granular posterior ventral scales (the remaining ventrals) are larger than dorsal scales, smooth, and imbricate. There are 16 infradigital scales in the fourth anterior finger and 23 scales in the posterior finger. There are also six pre-cloacal pores. Color in life: The head is predominantly beige, slightly marbled with scales showing dark spots (brown). Two light brown paravertebral stripes run from the neck to the base of the tail with an internal pattern formed of orange quadrangular spots (three scales wide) with a dark brown posterior spot (formed by one to three scales) ending with a white posterior area (one scale high). The line of brown scales that border the white line is darker than the other scales; such stains are regular along the entire dorsum. The vertebral area (occipital band) is beige and has no vertebral line; however, there is a whitish line of one to two scales in width on both sides of the paravertebral bands. Dorsolateral stripes are similar to paravertebral stripes, but the internal pattern of quadrangular spots is diffuse or incomplete. In the anterior lateral region, these stripes exhibit bluish spots, bordered by a row of orange scales, which are diluted in the posterior region. The area between the paravertebral and dorsolateral stripes is intense orange on the anterior region, decreasing in intensity towards the posterior area. The pre-cloacal pores are orange. Ventrally, the body is white speckled with orange spots on the mid-lateral region extending from the chin to half of the body length. In the posterior gular half, there is a spot of bright red. The mental scale is also bright red, as well as the supralabials, infralabials, sublabials, and rostral, which gives an appearance of it having a painted mouth. The cantal, the superciliaries, and the inner ciliary scales are also a bright red-orange color. This reddishorange color also continues through the granular scales of the base of the anterior limb and is in the shape of a round spot (Fig. 8). Color in alcohol: The specimens are less intense in color, the cyan is less intense, and the orange color of the pores, sides and dorsum fade to beige over time. The brown color also loses its intensity as do the red colorations. The red-orange spots of the venter fade over time, but the white remains unaltered. Variation. Morphometric data, pholidosis, and number of pre-cloacal pores are presented in Tables 6 and 7. The average size of adult male is 37.96 mm and adult female is 36.26 mm (Fig. 10). Rostral scales may occur on one single large-sized scale, to one single large-sized scale partially divided by the central postrostral. The row of postrostrals vary from aligning in one simple row, to a row in which the central postrostral partially subdivides the rostal. The subocular scale is large and elongated and is fused with the postocular in some specimens. Most specimens have three rows of supraoculars, except for one specimen that had four. Parietal scales vary from two entire, large, and regular scales, to a left scale fused with the supraorbital, semicircular scale. The frontal region is formed by irregular scales in a set of two to four scales, the distal always larger than the others. Specimens have 50–69 scales around the mid-body: 54–63 dorsal scales, 49–64 ventral scales, 13–17 infradigital scales on the fourth finger of the forelimb, and 17–24 scales on the hind limb. Pre-cloacal pores are orange, with six to seven on males and four to five on females (Tables 6 and 7). There is a color sexual dimorphism. Adult males have the color described previously for the holotype. The areas with red coloration are smaller on smaller males (juveniles), the throat does not have red coloration and the cyan (bluish) spots are small. In contrast, females generally have a fainter coloration, which varies from beige to dun, the dorsal spots are less defined, the orange color is more tenuous, and the spots of the mid-dorsal row are smaller, generally showing one scale width in brown and one scale width in white. The lateral stripes of the dorsal region present a row of diffuse spots and a brown color that is deeper than those in males. The ventral region is immaculate white. Etymology. This new species is named after the famous Uruguayan tango singer, Carlos Gardel, who died in a plane crash in 1935. Gardel’s birthplace was widely disputed and claimed by Uruguay, France, and Argentina, but recent research has confirmed that Gardel is the illegitimate son of a Uruguayan farmer. According to historical data from the book, “Carlos Gardel –el silencio de Tacuarembó,” authored by Selva Ortiz (1994), Gardel was born in the Tacuarembó department (Uruguay), in the same region of the type locality of this newly described species. Distribution. The known distribution of L. gardeli is restricted to the type locality, Manantiales Farm (12 km S–SW from Pueblo Ansina), Tacuarembó, Uruguay (Fig. 1). According to Evia and Gudynas (2000), the region can be characterized as pluvial plains of the upper Negro and Tacuarembó rivers and is associated with the Yaguarí and Caraguatá streams. These waterways are characterized by extensive storm hills, interspersed with marshes, flooded fields, and sand dunes (Fig. 11). Bossi et al. (1975) geologically divided the Tacuarembó River basin into two sections: a lower section deposited in a subaquatic environment, and an upper section of eolic origin, deposited during an arid climatic regime, both of which, according to the authors, would have been deposited during the Triassic Period. According to Sprechmann et al. (1981), these eolian deposits are characterized by the presence of non-fossilific sandstones generated by the accumulation of eolic dunes during a period of arid conditions. Snout-vent length (SVL); head length (HL); head width (HW); forelimb length (FLL); hindlimb length length (HLL), axilla-groin distance (A-G) and number of pre-cloacal pores (pores). According to the classification of Köppen, the climate in Uruguay is subtropical humid with hot summers (Cfa). In this region, the vegetation is psammophilous, associated with sand and dunes; vegetation is sparse and xeric. Thus, plant communities are dominated by grasses (such as Panicum racemosum) Senecio crassiflorus, Hydrocotyle bonariensis, Medicago minima, Dichondra microcalyx, and Calystegia soldanella. Insects and arachnids, such as Allocosa spiders, Coleopterans, and Orthopterans (Evia & Gudynas 2000), occur within the vegetation. Natural history. Liolaemus gardeli buries easily in the sand to escape predation, as do all other species of the L. wiegmannii group. We have observed some inactive individuals hidden under semi-dry cattle stools at the end of the day. From our in situ observations, this lizard species can easily escape by hiding in herbaceous vegetation, which is thick at the base of the bushes, but it also hides in large dens in dunes. These sand-dune dens seem to belong to armadillos (Dasypus sp.). Several individuals were observed escaping into these wide and open dens and then stood on hind legs, observing our movement. As soon as an observer approached, they often quickly fled deeply into the dens, but sometimes individuals remained at the burrow entrance. No burrow was observed that could have been constructed by this species, as occurs in L. occipitalis and L. lutzae, for example. Of the eight open stomachs we examined, seven contained food. From this examination, we concluded that L. gardeli is omnivorous, eating Formicidae, Araneae, Hemiptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, and plants (in three stomachs), including fruits of Cyperaceae, seeds of Poaceae (Cenchrus). Additionally, an unidentifiable fibrous material was found in one stomach. Discussion Our comparison of morphometrics (Tables 4 and 5, Figs. 5 and 6) among the species of the wiegmannii group indicates that L. gardeli is one of the smallest species in the group. (However, L. azarai, L. scapularis, and L. arambarensis are also small.) L. gardeli shows a proportionally wider head than the other species. This trait, along with the intense red color of its snout and craw, might help advertise its aggressive behavior when defending territory. (However, this speculation should be subjected to further behavioral research.) Moreover, according to Etheridge (2000), the pattern of the ventral color of Liolaemus is variable and generally not related to the dorsal pattern. Liolaemus gardeli differs from L. wiegmannii and from all other species of the group by the well-marked red ventral color on its gular and the lateral-frontal region of its head (Fig. 7). Although the genetic distances between L. gardeli and its closest relative, L. wiegmannii, are smaller than between the other species of the group, it should be remembered that Ávila et al. (2009) (Table 3, p. 49) treated this species as a complex. Thus, the distances between the different populations we analyzed in this study reinforces the idea that there is likely more than one species within the L. wiegmannii complex. Unfortunately, syntypes of L. wiegmannii were collected by other researchers (Duméril and Bibron 1837) and the type locality “ Chili ” was incorrectly assigned (because this species does not occur in Chile) (Verrastro et al. 2003). Therefore, additional research is needed to restrict the type locality of L. wiegmannii.Published as part of Verrastro, Laura, Maneyro, Raúl, Da Silva, Caroline M. & Farias, Iraia, 2017, A new species of lizard of the L. wiegmannii group (Iguania: Liolaemidae) from the Uruguayan Savanna, pp. 443-461 in Zootaxa 4294 (4) on pages 452-458, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4294.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/83569
