No full textGryllus locorojo Weissman & Gray Crazy Red Field Cricket Figs 14–16, 54, 62, Table 1 2012 Gryllus locorojo Weissman & Gray. Zootaxa 3504: 67–88. Type locality: USA: California, Los Angeles Co., Compton, Rainbow Mealworms. Type deposited in CAS, Entomology type #18657. Distribution. Known only from pet food stores and commercial cricket farms in North America, Europe, and western Asia. Original locality still unknown, but most likely somewhere in South America, perhaps Ecuador (Weissman et al. 2012). Recognition characters and song. Body size medium-large, long or short hind wings, reddish/brownish colored (Fig. 14), head frequently with three or four longitudinal stripes. Song variable (Figs 15, 16; R 12–3), usually 2 (range 1–3) p/c, less than 1 chirp/second, PR 25–42 at 25°C. Discussion. We repeat here the same concerns as under G. bimaculatus. As discussed in Weissman et al. (2012), this is one of two non-native Gryllus (the other being G. bimaculatus) that was being commercially raised in the US, in 2012, and shipped to US pet food stores for sale to the general public. Such activities will invariably result in the release, either by accident or on purpose, of this species into the environment, similar to what has probably occurred with Acheta domesticus (Weissman et al. 1980). The effect of such releases is unknown, as is whether or not these crickets can survive and multiply outside of commercial farms. We discussed (Weissman et al. 2012) why oversight by federal and state regulatory agencies is inadequate and suspect that such surveillance has only gotten worse, since 2012, given continued tightening US federal budgets and malaise from both state and federal regulators. Additionally, we have no idea what the current commercial status is for these two non-native species because they are more aggressive and cannibalistic than the replaced A. domesticus, and tend to bite the lizard they are being fed to. Thus, the pet-food industry may be voluntarily replacing G. locorojo with the ecologically preferred (Weissman et al. 2012) Gryllodes sigillatus. We present G. locorojo here in case they establish feral populations encountered by inquiring biologist. Similar concerns were presented by Barranco (2012), who discussed the possible invasive situation of “ G. assimilis ”, which was being sold for pet food in Spain. As discussed in Weissman et al. (2012), this is probably G. locorojo, although inquiries to P. Barranco, in 2013 and 2014, as to the number of p/c in the calling song of their cricket, which would easily distinguish true G. assimilis from G. locorojo, went unanswered. G. locorojo has been used for studies on calling song and phonotactic selectivity (Rothbart & Hennig 2012) as well as courtship song (Vedenina & Pollack 2012). DNA. Multilocus G2159, from a commercial pet food store, maps (Fig. 6, p. 28) this species closest to G. assimilis and G. multipulsator, despite very different calling songs between G. locorojo and the other two species. However, as noted in Weissman et al. (2019), courtship songs of these three species are similar in having a doubletick structure unlike any other US Gryllus for which courtship song is known to us.Published as part of Weissman, David B. & Gray, David A., 2019, Crickets of the genus Gryllus in the United States (Orthoptera: Gryllidae: Gryllinae), pp. 1-277 in Zootaxa 4705 (1) on page 34, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4705.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/356367
Weissman et al. (2020, Experiment 1) on non-homologous fingers (ABCD-ABCD)
No full textThe congruency sequence effect (CSE) refers to a smaller congruency effect after incongruent trials than after congruent trials. Robust CSEs often appear in the prime-probe task, wherein an initial prime (usually a distractor) precedes a subsequent probe (usually a target). Recent findings indicate a CSE appears in mean probe reaction time (RT) and mean probe error rate (ER), even when subjects respond to both the initial prime and the subsequent probe, such that there are no distractors (Grant & Weissman, 2019; Weissman, 2019; Weissman et al., 2017). Furthermore, a CSE appears in this “modified prime-probe task” even when subjects respond to the prime and probe in each trial using fingers on different hands (Weissman, Grant, and Jones, 2020). In an initial experiment involving this specific paradigm, the prime and probe stimuli were identical letters, and the primes and probes of congruent trials were mapped to anatomically corresponding (i.e., homologous) fingers on the left and right hands. Thus, control processes could be using four types of congruency relations to produce the observed CSE in Experiment 1 of Weissman et al. (2020): 1) perceptual stimulus relations, since the prime and probe were the same letter in congruent trials but not incongruent trials; 2) categorical stimulus relations, since the prime and probe were the same letter category in congruent trials but not incongruent trials; 3) anatomical response relations, since the prime and probe were mapped to homologous finger responses in congruent but not incongruent trials; and 4) spatial response relations, since the prime and probe were mapped to spatially corresponding (i.e., from inner to outer on each hand) finger responses in congruent but not incongruent trials. To begin to better understand which congruency relation(s) these control processes use to produce a CSE, we will conduct a series of experiments. The first will be a variant of Experiment 1 from Weissman et al. (2020), wherein anatomical response relations cannot be used. More specifically, we will investigate whether control processes can engender a CSE (Weissman et al., 2020) when the primes and probes are mapped to spatially, but not anatomically, corresponding fingers (i.e., non-homologous fingers)
Weissman et al. (2020, Experiment 2) on non-homologous fingers (ABCD-1234)
No full textThe congruency sequence effect (CSE) refers to a smaller congruency effect after incongruent trials than after congruent trials. Robust CSEs often appear in the prime-probe task, wherein an initial prime (usually a distractor) precedes a subsequent probe (usually a target). Recent findings indicate a CSE appears in mean probe reaction time (RT) and mean probe error rate (ER), even when subjects respond to both the initial prime and the subsequent probe, such that there are no distractors (Grant & Weissman, 2019; Weissman, 2019; Weissman et al., 2017). Furthermore, a CSE appears in this “modified prime-probe task” even when subjects respond to the prime and probe in each trial using fingers on different hands (Weissman, Grant, and Jones, 2020).
In Experiment 1 of Weissman et al. (2020), the prime and probe in congruent trials were the same letter (both A, both B, both C, or both D). Further, these letters were mapped to anatomically corresponding (i.e., homologous) fingers on the left and right hands. Here, control processes could be using four types of congruency relations to produce the observed CSE: 1) perceptual congruency relations, since the prime and probe were the same letter in congruent trials but not incongruent trials; 2) categorical congruency relations, since the prime and probe came from the same letter category in congruent trials but not incongruent trials; 3) anatomical congruency relations, since the prime and probe were mapped to homologous finger responses in congruent but not incongruent trials; and 4) spatial congruency relations, since the prime and probe were mapped to spatially corresponding (i.e., from inner to outer on each hand) finger responses in congruent but not incongruent trials. Experiment 2 of Weissman et al. (2020) demonstrated that control processes can engender a CSE in the absence of perceptual congruency relations, since the primes (A, B, C, and D) were different than the probes (1, 2, 3, and 4) across all trial types.
More recently, this research group showed that anatomical congruency relations are not necessary to observe a CSE. This was accomplished using a prime-probe task wherein the primes (A, B, C, and D) and probes (A, B, C, and D) were mapped to spatially, but not anatomically, corresponding fingers in congruent but not incongruent trials (i.e., non-homologous fingers; Tran et al., unpublished). The results indicated a robust CSE, which could only have been driven by perceptual congruency relations, categorical congruency relations, or spatial congruency relations between the responses.
To better understand which congruency relations control processes use to produce a CSE, we will conduct a second experiment. The second experiment will be a variant of Experiment 2 from Weissman et al. (2020), wherein neither perceptual stimulus relations nor anatomical response relations can be used to produce a CSE. More specifically, we will investigate whether control processes can engender a CSE (Weissman et al., 2020) when the prime (A, B, C, or D) and probe (1, 2, 3, or 4) differ in both congruent and incongruent trials and are mapped to spatially, but not anatomically, corresponding fingers (i.e., non-homologous fingers) in congruent trials. In this task, control processes can use only categorical congruency relations and/or spatial congruency relations between the responses to engender a CSE
Phymonotus Lightfoot, Weissman and Ueshima
No full textPhymonotus Lightfoot, Weissman and Ueshima new genus Type species. Phymonotus jacintotopos Lightfoot, Weissman and Ueshima, here designated. Diagnosis and description. See Table 1. Known only from San Jacinto Mountains, Riverside Co., California (Fig 3). As with other Nedubini world-wide, Phymonotus males possess modified and enlarged paraprocts, or pseudocerci, that extend posteriorly from beneath the supra-anal plate or tergum 10, and which function as clasping organs (Rentz and Colless, 1990). The supra-anal plate, or epiproct, of Phymonotus males is unique among North American Nedubini in that it is hour-glass shaped. Phymonotus is most similar and closely related to the endemic North American genera Agalothorax and Neduba, and can be separated from the latter two genera by a combination of characters presented in Table 1, including obvious features such as a dome-shaped metazona, two lateral lobes on each side of the pronotum, concave posterior margin of the metazona, calling song, and the apical indentation of the female subgenital plate. As with Agalothorax and Neduba, Phymonotus possesses an enlarged metazonal pronotal disk relative to other Tettigoniinae genera. However, in Phymonotus this disk is uniquely shaped, being considerably dorsally elevated and dome-shaped with a concave posterior margin. The dome of the metazona of Phymonotus includes both the dorsal disk and the lateral lobes, and is more pronounced in males than females. The height of the metazona in adult male Phymonotus averages 1.6 times the height of the prozona, while the height of the metazona in female Phymonotus and both sexes of Neduba and Agalothorax is close to equal to the height of the prozona. The pronotum of Phymonotus males has two lateral lobes, one on the prozona, and another on the metazona, unlike Agalothorax and Neduba males that have one lateral lobe shared by both the prozona and metazona. We name and describe the male dorsal and ventral lobes of the titillators (referenced as fleshy lobes but not named by Rentz and Gurney (1985)), and the dorsal sclerites of the titillators (see species description below). All three genera possess both dorsal and ventral lobes of the titillators. The dorsal lobes of the titillators in Agalothorax and Neduba are simple soft membranes that lack dorsal sclerites. In contrast, Phymonotus possesses dorsal sclerites of the titillators, which are developed as a sclerotized bi-lobed structure on the dorsal lobes of the titillators. All three genera possess ventral lobes of the titillators. In Agalothorax the ventral lobes possess sclerotized teeth, and in Neduba the ventral lobes possess ventral sclerites (Rentz and Birchim 1968). In contrast, Phymonotus lacks any sclerotized structures on the ventral lobes of the titillators.Published as part of Lightfoot, David C., Weissman, David B. & Ueshima, Norihiro, 2011, Phymonotus jacintotopos: A new genus and species of shield-backed katydid (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae: Nedubini) from the San Jacinto Mountains of California, USA, pp. 49-65 in Zootaxa 2937 on page 50, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20374
Neduba propsti Rentz & Weissman 1981
No full textNeduba propsti Rentz & Weissman, 1981 Fig. 19 (distribution), Fig. 20 (male and female habitus, calling song, drumming, male and female tremulation karyotype), Plate 2A (live habitus), Plate 4J (male calling song), Plate 7F (male ventral sclerite), Plate 10A (male titillators), Plate 11J (female subgenital plate). Common name. Santa Catalina Island Shieldback. History of recognition. Described as a Santa Catalina Island endemic (Rentz & Weissman 1981). Listed under Aglaothorax in OSFO for unspecified reasons (Cigliano et al. 2020). Type material. The holotype male is in the CAS collection. Images of the holotype are available at OSFO (Cigliano et al. 2020). Measurements. (mm, ♁n = 9, ♀ n = 5) Hind femur ♁20.86–23.47, ♀ 24.10–25.89, pronotum total length ♁8.30– 9.45, ♀ 9.15–9.89, prozona length ♁4.15–5.55, ♀ 5.15–5.93, metazona dorsal length ♁3.90–4.90, ♀ 3.88– 4.15, pronotum constriction width ♁2.44–3.13, ♀ 2.98–3.22, metazona dorsal width ♁6.37–7.01, ♀ 6.27–7.22, head width ♁4.25–4.95, ♀ 5.18–5.54, ovipositor length ♀ 18.04–19.14. Distribution. Restricted to Santa Catalina Island, Los Angeles County, California, USA. Probably found throughout the island in suitable habitat. Habitat. Dense chaparral vegetation, often on steep hillsides and in canyon bottoms. Individuals prefer to sit on the inner twigs of tangles. Also, in gardens on non-native vegetation. One individual taken from ornamental eucalyptus (JAC, pers. obs.). Seasonal occurrence. Adult records from mid-June (14-VI-1985, S Bennett, CAS) through July (28-VII-1981 DB Weissman, CAS). Stridulatory file. (n = 5) length 3.2–3.9 mm, 94–111 teeth, tooth density 30.4 ± 2.1 (28.2–33.0) teeth/mm. Song. (n = 10) Continuous 200 ms MPTL at a brisk PTR of 4.4 ± 0.4 s- 1. PT consist of the least amount of pulses (toothstrikes) of any species (~20). PTF approaches the ultrasonic at 18.5 ± 3.5 kHz. A captive male drummed at irregular intervals while stridulating (Fig. 20); the drums were audible and induced considerable substrate vibration in the cage. Karyotype. (n = 4) Unique. 2n♁ = 24 (4m + 18t + XmYt). T85-12, S85-70, topotype. Recognition. Shares the following morphological characters with N. lucubrata: a single apical spine on the fore tibiae, prosternal spines, and tegmina darkened apically. The stridulatory file has a lower tooth density (28–33 teeth/ mm) than any other species except those of the Castanea Group. Male genitalia of N. propsti are similar to those of N. castanea and N. macneilli, but the arms of the titillators of N. propsti have a shaft that is straight and not swollen at a distance of 1/6 from the base as in the latter two species (Plate 10). The song is unique in having short MPTL produced continually at a rapid PTR. Females have the longest subgenital plate of any species, approximately 1.5 times longer than wide. This is the only nedubine on Santa Catalina Island (Figs. 8, 19) with the most southerly distribution of any Neduba. Notes. N. propsti is an early branching lineage (Figs. 3–5) that has apparently been isolated on Santa Catalina Island for a long time. The island has never been connected to mainland California (Legg et al. 2004) being the product of tectonic uplift. Males may be wary and cease calling at the slightest disturbance, as much as a single leaf falling, and jump with little provocation (JAC pers. obs.). This is one of a handful of Neduba species that drum (Weissman 2001; see also N. castanea, N. macneilli, and N. lucubrata below). Drumming was observed in captivity by a single male without a female present (JAC pers. obs) and not in the field; the context of drumming in the mating system is not known in this species.

Castanea Group The Castanea Group is readily recognizable on account of the robust habitus, the short hind femora, by having only one spine on the anterior margin of the fore tibiae, and by the lack of prosternal spines. The lateral carinae of the male subgenital plate converge apically, although not as dramatically as in the Sierranus and Sequoia Groups, and the styli vary from articulate to rudimentary to absent. The posterior margins of the abdominal tergites have only slight crenulations. Superficially the species of this group resemble sympatric Aglaothorax ovata. Karyotypes also separate the two species in this group from all other Neduba. Castanea Group species occupy the dry slopes of central and southern California mountain ranges (Fig. 8).Published as part of Cole, Jeffrey A., Weissman, David B., Lightfoot, David C., Ueshima, Norihiro, Warchałowska-Śliwa, Elżbieta, Maryańska-Nadachowska, Anna & Chatfield-Taylor, Will, 2021, A revision of the shield-back katydid genus Neduba (Orthoptera: Tettigoniidae: Tettigoniinae: Nedubini), pp. 1-92 in Zootaxa 4910 (1) on pages 46-49, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4910.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/444880
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Oral History - Michael Weissman
No full textProfessor Weissman started as a faculty member of this campus and was involved heavily in the anti-Starwars movement, an initiative proposed by President Reagan to build counter-missile missiles to shoot down enemy nukes. During this initiative, physicists from all over the country were assigned to work on this project but soon realized that these missiles are actually suited more as a first-strike than a counter-missile system. Weissman and physicists from this university signed a pact to not work on this project (believing it to be a preemptive strike tool rather than a defense tool) and was soon followed by Cornell and universities from across the nation. The missile project was soon scraped and stand as a great achievement in Weissman’s life. After jumping from a few different topics, Professor Weissman soon settled on the discussion of global warming and his regret on not having done more for the movement. He explained that the first step for this kind of activism is communication and understanding.not peer reviewedSubmitted by Karen Rodriguez'g ([email protected]) on 2013-03-11T18:41:45Z

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Distribution. High elevations in the central and northern Sierra Nevada of California. Habitat. Mixed conifer woodland. Taken from understory tangles and leaf litter in coniferous forest, under logs, in a small shrub in an open field, and from riverbanks. One male paratype sang from 2.4 m above ground in thicket of branches. He dropped to the ground when approached (JAC pers. obs.). Seasonal occurrence. Midsummer through fall, from July (1-VII-1950, HL McKenzie, CSCA) through November (17-XI-1967, HR Ingham, CSCA). Nymphs occur from early June through August, thus overlapping broadly with adult activity. Stridulatory file. (n = 6) length 3.3–3.9 mm, 115–135 teeth, tooth density 35.4 ± 3.4 (30.8–40.9) teeth/mm. Song. (n = 19) PTR is significantly faster than all other Convexa Clade lineages (ANCOVA, P = 1.08×10 -5), owing to significantly shorter MPTL of 202.5 ± 53.6 ms (ANCOVA, P = 4.27×10 -11). MPT often have a characteristic amplitude modulation pattern, with a gradual increase in amplitude followed by an abrupt increase at the middle of the PT (Plate 4F). Males may sing in the late afternoon as well as at night. Karyotype. (n = 7) 2n♁ = 26 (2m + 22t + XtYt), T88-8, S88-60, paratype. Recognition. The male ventral sclerite has straight, thick shaft, the apex rounded with the highest point lateral to the central axis, and the short lateral process directed 45 o anterior to plane of shaft. This genital morphology may only be confused with N. diabolica and some N. carinata, both of which have higher stridulatory file tooth densities and lisping songs and are distributed in the South Coast Ranges. The female subgenital plate is distinct from all other Carinata Group species: wider than long with a strongly bifurcate apex. The song PTR is faster and MPTL shorter than all other Convexa Clade taxa. This species is the only Neduba found in high elevation yellow pine forest in the central and northern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Etymology. l. radicata having roots, having found a home. Notes. At China Flat Campground, El Dorado County, California, two males were observed emerging from leaf litter to sing in understory tangles.Acoustical activity commenced before dusk at this locality during overcast conditions after a rainstorm. At the southern extent of the range along Finning Mill Road, males were singing before sunset at 2019 h.

Doeltreffende schoonheid. Adriaan Willem Weissman en Lizzy Cottage (1901-1904)
No full textIn 1892 Adriaan Willem Weissman (1858-1923) designed the Stedelijk Museum at Paulus Potterstraat in Amsterdam. Hardly ten years later he built the detached town house with picture gallery 'LizzyCottage', at the corner of Hobbemastraat and Jan Luijkenstraat. In this short period of time his architecture went through fundamental changes: whereas the main form of the museum was based on Dutch architecture of the early seventeenth century, the appearance of Lizzy Cottage is considerably less historicizing.
In the last decade of the nineteenth century the work of colleague-architects. among whom H.P. Berlage (1856-1934), Ed. Cuypers (1859-1927) and G. van Arkel (1858-1918) went through a similar development: they abandoned the decorations of the Dutch neo-Renaissance and were looking for a new, more contemporary architecture. From the beginning of his career Weissman did not only present himself as a designer, he also had an extremely facile pen.
In the eighties publications started to pour out, which only came to an end with his death in 1923. His articles show that Weissman kept a close track of the architectonic developments and professional literature in Europe and the United States and liked to comment on them. Thanks to his many articles in the journal ‘De Opmerker’ Weissman's quest for a contemporary architectonic form of expression can be followed in detail during the decade 1892-1902.
In succession he took an interest in Dutch architecture of around 1600. Contemporary American architecture (especially H.H. Richardson drew his attention) and contemporary English architecture, notably the Queen Anne Movement. Unmistakably Lizzy Cottage is indebted to English architecture of that period. However, in spite of its name Weissman regarded the house as typically Dutch. For instance, he left out the hall and thus dissociated himself from Ed. Cuypers, who had applied this element in the nearby house Jan Luijkenstraat 2-2A (1898-1899).
According to Weissman the hall was only useful in English society, a view he shared with Hermann Muthesius, who had lived in England for a long time. Weissman considered the German architect a kindred spirit; he introduced his ideas - in translation - in the Netherlands. Just as Muthesius, Weissman belongs to the large group of architects with an eclectic, practical bias who did not design from ideological motives. Efficiency was their motto
