Get PDFKootenaia burkei Leonard, Chichester, Baugh & Wilke, 2003, new species
No full textKootenaia burkei new species Figs. 1, 2 Types: The holotype (Carnegie Museum [CM] 66404), collected on 3 October 2002, and one paratype (CM 66247), collected on 10 April 2003, were taken by J. Baugh and W. Leonard on woody debris and among black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa Torrey & Gray, 1852) leaves in riparian forest along Little Bumblebee Creek, Panhandle National Forest, Shoshone County, Idaho at an elevation of 700 m above sea level (asl). Additional paratypes were collected by J. Baugh and W. Leonard in riparian forest along Trestle Creek, Kootenai County, Idaho (CM 63987, 66246) and Chatcolet Lake, Benewah County, Idaho (CM 64703). Etymology: The specific name burkei honors naturalist Thomas E. Burke in recognition of over three decades of study of Pacific Northwest mollusks, and for teaching WL and JB most everything they know about land snails. Distribution: All known sites are located in either the Lake Pend Oreille or Coeur d’Alene Lake watersheds in the “panhandle” of northern Idaho (Fig. 1). Specimens are known from the following locations in addition to the type locality: 2) Trestle Creek, Panhandle National Forest, Bonner County, Idaho, elevation 700 m asl, 3) Beauty Creek, Idaho Panhandle National Forest, Kootenai County, Idaho, elevation 640 m asl, 4) Heyburn State Park, Chatcolet Lake, Benewah County, Idaho, elevation 650 m asl, and 5) East side of Harrison, Kootenai County, Idaho, elevation 700 m asl (for details see Appendix). Description Size: Very small slug, adults from 9 to 14 mm extended length while in movement. External Features: Head extending relatively short distance beyond mantle. Mantle elliptical, approximately half as long as extended body length; surface with lumps or wrinkles oriented roughly perpendicular to longitudinal axis. Tail rounded dorsally with no trace of middorsal keel; with series of shallow parallel, longitudinal and oblique grooves; without line of abscission; lacking caudal mucus pore. Pneumostome positioned slightly posterior to middle of right side of mantle. Sole undivided, moderately wide. Pedal groove present above foot margin. Foot fringe moderately wide. Coloration: Mantle pale gray or tan, with pale blue flecking, with dark gray or brown spots, blotches (Fig. 1). Tail light gray or tan with pale blue flecking and series of dark gray or brown, parallel, longitudinal stripes (centered on grooves); on dorsal surface two or more stripes converge approximately 1 mm prior to reaching posterior end of tail, then continue to pedal furrow; along sides stripes run transversely without merging. Sole light gray with whitish flecks. Mucus clear. Occasionally, specimens lack dark gray pigmentation on mantle, tail; other specimens with intense blue flecking covering both mantle, tail. Internal features Shell: Calcareous plate with slight anterior apex. Jaw: Ribbed, with as few as five to more than thirteen ribs. Reproductive System: Ovotestis comprises small number of lobules (as few as five); ovotestis partially embedded in posterior digestive gland (Fig. 2). Hermaphroditic duct long, straight, not convoluted. Albumen gland large, extending to posterior limit of body cavity. Common duct long, occupying much of body cavity in mature individuals. No free epiphallus or vas deferens. Male component of reproductive system reduced to penial loop. Penial retractor muscle originates at anterior edge of diaphragm, inserts at apex of the penial loop. Penial loop consists of slender ascending duct, joining, at apex, a broader descending duct, the penis. On one stained slide mount, penis extended well into atrium. Atrium relatively large, barrel shaped, thin walled except for thickenings at genital pore. Duct of seminal receptacle arises from common duct at same level as penial loop but on opposite side of common duct. Duct of seminal receptacle, seminal receptacle loosely adhere to common duct, can be difficult to see in young animals. Duct and seminal receptacle enlarged, easily seen in fully mature animals. Buccal and Tentacular Retractor Muscles: Both buccal, tentacular retractors have origins widely separated at posterior margin of diaphragm. No retentor muscle present. Digestive System: Buccal mass large but otherwise unremarkable. Slender esophagus emerges dorsally, posteriorly to join crop. Crop distinctive: cylindrical shape modified by several circumferential constrictions that partially divide crop lumen into series of tandem compartments. Because constrictions are not quite perpendicular to long axis of crop, effect is to produce a spiral pathway for crop contents moving toward the stomach. Inner lining of crop consists of myriad of small, uniformly sized, spindleshaped, opaque tissue patches. Patches arranged to reflect the spiral nature of space they help enclose. Pattern of patches changes at posterior end of crop to become longitudinal one just before crop joins stomach. Stomach forms right angle with long axis of crop. Anterior and posterior digestive glands connected to stomach by pair of ducts. Stomach leads to intestine, a somewhat flattened tube of uniform width that makes three bends before arriving at anus in wall of pneumostome. Aside from partially embedded ovotestis and minor adhesions between posterior digestive gland and albumen gland, the digestive and reproductive systems not intimately intertwined. Fig. 2 shows major anatomical features revealed by dissection of holotype. Natural history All known sites are forested and adjacent to a perennial water body, which is probably necessary for maintaining high soil moisture and moderating ambient temperature. Vegetation at the sites was composed of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla (Rafinesque, 1832)) forest, with scattered western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn, 1824), black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa Torrey & Gray, 1852), paper birch (Betula papyrifera Marsh, 1785), chokecherry (Prunus virginiana Linnaeus, 1753), and/or red alder (Alnus rubra Bongard, 1832). Most specimens were collected on the forest floor, either on or under woody debris, mats of moss, or deciduous tree leaves; two specimens were collected approximately 0.2 m aboveground on a mosscovered tree trunk along the edge of a stream. In the field we have observed specimens resting on and, apparently, eating lichens that were growing on woody debris. Five specimens from Trestle Creek, maintained in captivity between 5 October 2002 and July 2003, ate carrot, lettuce, sweet potato, yam, dry dog food, and goldfish flakes; one of these specimens (9 mm extended length while in movement) laid 3 oval eggs on 17 July 2003. These eggs (ca. 1 x 1.8 mm) were all viable and near to hatching on 8 September 2003 (Fig. 3). Comparative anatomy Kootenaia burkei differs from all other known arionids by lacking a free epiphallus or vas deferens; to our knowledge, no other arionid has such a drastically reduced male component of the reproductive system. The only character that it shares with all other arionids is a ribbed jaw. We place K. burkei in the Arionidae based on the presence of the ribbed jaw and the widely separated origins of the buccal and tentacular retractors, a condition found in several arionid genera including Prophysaon. It differs from Prophysaon in lacking a line of abscission and in possessing a penial retractor. It differs from Zacoleus in the widely separated attachments of the buccal and tentacular retractors, in possessing a penial retractor, and in having an undivided sole. It differs from Hemphillia in possessing a fully embedded, calcareous shell; in the widely separated attachments of the buccal and tentacular retractors; in lacking a retentor muscle and in having the visceral cavity extend to the tip of the tail (see Table 1). A maximum parsimony tree, based on 15 anatomical characters for taxa of Hemphillia, Kootenaia, Prophysaon, and Zacoleus (see Fig. 4 A), shows that our new taxon clusters distinctly apart from the four species of Prophysaon studied here. The individuals of Kootenaia also cluster apart from Z. idahoensis and Hemphillia spp. Comparative molecular genetics The average amonggroup divergence based on K 2 Pdistances ranges from 0.184 0.012 (between Zacoleus and Hemphillia) and 0.227 ± 0.012 (between Prophysaon and Hemphillia) (see Table 2). Kootenaia appears to be most similar to Zacoleus with an average divergence of 0.185 ± 0.014, though the divergences with Prophysaon (0.204 ± 0.013) and Hemphillia (0.206 ± 0.012) are not significantly larger. A Bayesian phylogram of the combined COI / LSU rRNA data set reflecting the 50 % majorityrule consensus of topologies sampled during the Bayesian search is shown in Fig. 4 B. The tree comprises the ‘outgroup’ taxa Z. idahoensis and three major clades: Prophysaon spp., Kootenaia sp., and Hemphillia spp. Kootenaia clusters distinctly apart from all other taxa studied here and both the Prophysaon and the Kootenaia clades have posterior probabilities of 1.00. Within K. burkei, the two specimens for each of the two populations studied are homogeneous and the average divergence between the two populations is very low with a K 2 Pdistance of 0.0044 ± 0.002. The new taxon deserves both new genus and new species designations on the basis of the absence of a free epiphallus alone. No other arionid even approaches this condition. Based upon the wellseparated buccal and tentacular retractors and the general body appearance, Kootenaia appears to be more closely allied with Prophysaon than either Zacoleus or Hemphillia. In many Prophysaon species, the penis is reduced to a penial loop but none possesses a penial retractor muscle and all possess a welldeveloped epiphallus suggesting that the relationship between Kootenaia and Prophysaon is not especially close. Zacoleus possesses converging retractors, a welldeveloped penis without a penial retractor, and a very large spermathecal duct. When these characteristics are considered together, they suggest that Zacoleus is even more distantly related to Kootenaia than Prophysaon. Even more distantly related is Hemphillia with its exposed horny shell, its visceral hump, its converging buccal and tentacular retractors, its retentor muscle and its welldeveloped penis. Pilsbry (1948) subdivided the Arionidae into four subfamilies. In this scheme, Kootenaia fits best in the subfamily Anadeninae. The molecular analyses using two mitochondrial genes and the anatomical data produce congruent topologies. Our new taxon does not fit into any of the genera studied here but represents a distinct group. In fact, the two trees based on anatomical and molecular data presented in Fig. 4 show a very high degree of concordance, which is rarely seen in similar studies. However, as with the anatomical data, the molecular analyses cannot unambiguously solve the problem of sister group relationships. When using Zacoleus as outgroup, Bayesian inference suggests that the genus Prophysaon is the sister group of Kootenaia (see Fig. 4 B). But based on distance data, the genus Kootenaia would be more similar to Zacoleus (Table 2). It appears as if future studies with more data and/or more taxa would be necessary to better address the problem of phylogenetic relationships among arionid taxa from the Pacific Northwest.Published as part of Leonard, William P., Chichester, Lyle, Baugh, Jim & Wilke, Thomas, 2003, Kootenaia burkei, a new genus and species of slug from northern Idaho, United States (Gastropoda: Pulmonata: Arionidae), pp. 1-16 in Zootaxa 355 on pages 7-12, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15666
Effects of cosmological model assumptions on galaxy redshift survey measurements
Get PDFThe clustering of galaxies observed in future redshift surveys will provide a wealth of cosmological information. Matching the signal at different redshifts constrains the dark energy driving the acceleration of the expansion of the Universe. In tandem with these geometrical constraints, redshift-space distortions depend on the build up of large-scale structure. As pointed out by many authors, measurements of these effects are intrinsically coupled. We investigate this link and argue that it strongly depends on the cosmological assumptions adopted when analysing data. Using representative assumptions for the parameters of the Euclid survey in order to provide a baseline future experiment, we show how the derived constraints change due to different model assumptions. We argue that even the assumption of a Friedman-Robertson-Walker space-time is sufficient to reduce the importance of the coupling to a significant degree. Taking this idea further, we consider how the data would actually be analysed and argue that we should not expect to be able to simultaneously constrain multiple deviations from the standard Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) model. We therefore consider different possible ways in which the Universe could deviate from the Lambda CDM model, and show how the coupling between geometrical constraints and structure growth affects the measurement of such deviations
Simulations of quintessential cold dark matter: beyond the cosmological constant
No full textWe study the non-linear growth of cosmic structure in different dark energy models, using large volume N-body simulations. We consider a range of quintessence models which feature both rapidly and slowly varying dark energy equations of state, and compare the growth of structure to that in a universe with a cosmological constant. We use a four-parameter equation of state for the dark energy which accurately reproduces the quintessence dynamics over a wide range of redshifts. The adoption of a quintessence model changes the expansion history of the universe, the form of the linear theory power spectrum and can alter key observables, such as the horizon scale and the distance to last scattering. We incorporate these effects into our simulations in stages to isolate the impact of each on the growth of structure. The difference in structure formation can be explained to first order by the difference in growth factor at a given epoch; this scaling also accounts for the non-linear growth at the 15 per cent level. We find that quintessence models that are different from Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda CDM) both today and at high redshifts (z similar to 1000), and which feature late (z < 2), rapid transitions in the equation of state, can have identical baryonic acoustic oscillation (BAO) peak positions to those in Lambda CDM. We find that these models have higher abundances of dark matter haloes at z > 0 compared to Lambda CDM and so measurements of the mass function should allow us to distinguish these quintessence models from a cosmological constant. However, we find that a second class of quintessence models, whose equation of state makes an early (z > 2) rapid transition to w = -1, cannot be distinguished from Lambda CDM using measurements of the mass function or the BAO, even if these models have non-negligible amounts of dark energy at early times
"You Feel So Out of Place": Germantown\u27s J. Gordon Baugh and the 1913 Commemoration of the Emancipation Proclamation
Get PDFA fragile album of photographs made in 1913 by an African American resident of the Germantown section of Philadelphia may seem an unlikely addition to a collection of essays on the Emancipation Proclamation. Yet, J. Gordon Baugh Jr.’s A Souvenir of Germantown Issued during the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation at Philadelphia, PA, September 1913 not only offers an illuminating glimpse of African American life in the half century after the Civil War—it explores the memories of emancipation. In ways both commemorative and journalistic, the 1913 souvenir album gives valuable insight into a sector of Germantown’s community frequently left out of its well-documented historical memory—and, one might fairly extrapolate, an indication of blacks’ thinking about the meaning of emancipation in the early twentieth century
