Dokidisis australis Lapointe & Watling 2022, new species
No full textDokidisis australis new species Figure 15 Material Examined. Holotype: Tasman Fracture Zone, Outer Wall, Tasmanian Seamounts, TMAG K3834, collected on 08 January 2009, -45.3742, 144.5933, 3256 m, 1.35° C bottom temp. Diagnosis. With the characters of the genus. Description of Holotype. Colony unbranched or forks once at the node, with a thick and robust axis (Fig. 15A, B). Only a portion of the colony was collected. The axis contains numerous longitudinal grooves and is 15 mm diameter at the basal section and 9 mm diameter in the distalmost portion of the colony. The hollow core is less than 1 mm in diameter at the base and increases slightly in diameter as the colony grows, reaching about 1 mm distally. Polyps are sparsely scattered on all sides of the axis, with large areas of thin coenenchyme between polyps. Sclerites in the polyp body are blunt rods, arranged longitudinally and obliquely (Fig. 15C). Rods may be slightly curved, club-shaped, and vary in width (Fig. 15D). Needles and scales are not present in the polyp body. Sclerites are sparsely and irregularly arranged throughout the coenenchyme in the form of flat rods, ranging in length from 0.14 to 0.26 mm (Fig. 15E). Small flat rods, similar to those in the coenenchyme, may be sparsely arranged at the base of the polyp body as well. Scales are not present in the coenenchyme. Sclerites similar in shape to those in the polyp body but slightly smaller in size are arranged longitudinally along the aboral side (rachis) of the tentacles. Flat rods are arranged along the pinnules, perpendicular to the tentacle. Flat rods are decorated with numerous tubercles and longitudinal grooves (Fig. 15F). Sclerites are very sparse in the pharynx, and several polyps had to be examined before any sclerites were found. The polyp pharynx lacks sclerites in the form of thorny rods or double stars. The two sclerites found in the pharynx were measured at 0.09 and 0.11 mm in length, with several longitudinal grooves and irregular borders (Fig. 15G). It is possible that the sclerites found in the pharynx may be contaminants produced during dissection. Etymology. The species name is based on the Latin adjective australis = southern, a reference to the southern hemisphere where the specimen was collected. Remarks. Dokidisis australis is similar to Jasonisis thresheri, a new genus and species recently described from Tasmania (Alderslade and McFadden, 2012), in that both species branch at the node and lack intertentacular needles and pharyngeal sclerites in the form of thorny rods or double stars. However, unlike J. thresheri, D. australis is not covered by a thick tegument and the blunt rods in the polyp body differ significantly from the densely-packed scales in Jasonisis. Besides the lack of pharyngeal sclerites, we could not determine a set of specific characters that would include D. australis in the genus Jasonisis, even though the two species are in the same large J clade (see Watling et al. 2022) (Fig. 2). That clade has many morphologically diverse specimens within it and we suspect that with increased sampling the relationships of the several forms will become clear.Published as part of Lapointe, Abby & Watling, Les, 2022, Towards a revision of the bamboo corals (Octocorallia): Part 5, new genera and species of Keratoisididae from the Tasmanian deep sea, pp. 137-157 in Zootaxa 5168 (2) on pages 155-156, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5168.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/687716

COPROPHILOUS FUNGI OF THE FALKLAND ISLANDS
No full textNinety-seven taxa of coprophilous fungi are recorded from the Southern Atlantic archipelago of the Falkland Islands. Several other fungi are discussed in the light of the distribution of these coprophils. Fungi are recorded for the first time from some of the smaller islands adjacent to East and West Falkland. Two new combinations, Coprinopsis cordispora (T.Gibbs) Watling & M.J.Richardson and Coprinopsis ephemeroides (DC.) Watling & M.J.Richardson, are made.</jats:p
Council cottages and community in inter-war Britain: a study of class, culture,politics and place.
No full textPhDThis thesis makes a contribution to the debates surrounding the idea of community
on the cottage council estates of inter-war Britain. It questions the conventional
wisdom that community was lacking upon these estates. Recognising the
problematic nature of the notion of community, this thesis overcomes the confusion
inherent in the term when it is used to describe social structures by viewing
community instead as a structure of meaning, as a discursive rather than material
reality. This guides my examination of community on the estates. Rather than
there being no community, it is argued that there were at least three different
discourses of community, and what is important is the relationships between them.
Chapter One discusses the contexts in which these estates were built, and then sets
out the ways in which community is understood in this thesis. Chapter Two
explains the methodology that was used, a combination of archival and oral histoiy.
In Chapter Three Roehampton and Watling - the two estates this research focuses
upon - are described in order to provide the contextual setting for my interpretation
of the discourses of community that were present there. Chapter Four is concerned
with community from the viewpoint of the residents who lived on the estates.
Chapter Five considers discourses of community from the point of view of the
tenants' and residents' associations that developed upon Roehampton and Watling.
Chapter Six explores the discourse of community that was promoted on the estates
by the Community Association movement.
Overall the thesis argues that the discourses of community on inter-war
housing estates have to be understood in terms of the occupational structures,
cultures and politics of these estates
