Colophon struempheri Jacobs & Scholtz, new species
No full textColophon struempheri Jacobs & Scholtz, new species (Fig 3 a-d; Table 1). Type material. Holotype: (1 ♂: ISAM); Paratypes: (1 ♂, 1 ♀: UPSA). Diagnosis. Colophon struempheri is most similar to C. deschodti, but can be distinguished from the latter by the lack of median point or protuberance on the anterior margin of the head. Furthermore, C. deschodti has the mentum distinctly bifid, whereas C. struempheri has the mentum narrow and slightly bifid. Pairwise genetic distance from C. stokoei is 7.4 % for COI (Switala et al. 2014). Holotype description. Colour: Black. Size: Male: length 19.8 mm, pronotal width: 10.3 mm, mandible length: 3.1 mm. Female: 15.6 mm, pronotal width: 8.7 mm. Head: Declivous in front but with a feeble indication of a definite anterior margin (Table 1). Mandible: Apex of mandible deeply impressed on upper surface as in C. stokoei; ventral process prominent, rectangular (Table 1). Mentum: Anterior surface narrow, not excavated; anterior margin simply bifid; ventral surface deeply impressed on either side of a projecting median ridge (Table 1). Legs: Protibia similar to C. stokoei, but less curved and less robust, the two apical teeth sharper and the extension is less deep (Fig. 3 d). Male genitalia: As in C. stokoei. Variation. Size: length 19.86–20.08 mm, pronotal width 10.29–10.70 mm (n = 2). Female: Description as for C. stokoei (Fig. 3 c). Distribution. Hottentots Holland Mountains, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Etymology. The species is named after Werner P. Strümpher in recognition of his contribution to the study of Colophon.Published as part of Jacobs, Carmen T., Scholtz, Clarke H. & Strümpher, Werner P., 2015, Taxonomy of Colophon Gray (Coleoptera: Lucanidae): new species and a status change, pp. 135-142 in Zootaxa 4057 (1) on pages 138-139, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4057.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/23323
Exploring resident-empowered meeting places in Dutch Neighbourhoods: by Jane Jacobs Walking Action-research methodology
No full textThe ‘Jane Jacobs Walk’ organization as one of the Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) heritage initiative supported three Jane Jacobs Walks of certified Fred Sanders in the period 2011 - 2014 in Amsterdam neighbour-hoods. These walks helped residents to explore resident-empowered meeting-places and activities in their own housing environment for the benefit of community living-quality for themselves and others all spirited by Jane Jacobs her thoughts. These walks can methodological be seen as a form action-research by which the participating residents analyze their own data of experiences and insights. From the threeJane Jacob Walks organized (added to the results of my dissertation as the ‘body of knowledge’) (Sanders, 2014) the conclusions are: 1. Residents favor nearby and lifestyle coupled meeting-places, 2. Beside the by the municipality organized meeting-places there are many so called ‘free’ meeting-places available, 3. Less of all these meeting-places suite youngsters, foreign people and unemployed people, and 4. Resi-dents are willing to organize meeting-place even to manage subsidizing still a financial support from the municipality is essential. The effect of the ‘talking by walking’ could be optimized by involving more youngsters. ‘Jane Jacobs Walks’ as example of action-research could methodological be optimized by test-ing the results in a pilot neighbourhood.Environmental Technology and Desig
Colophon deschodti Jacobs & Scholtz, new species
No full textColophon deschodti Jacobs & Scholtz, new species (Fig 4 a–c; Table 1) Type material. Holotype (1 ♂: ISAM). Diagnosis. Colophon deschodti is distinguished from other members in the group by the shape of the mentum, which is clearly divided into two projecting tubercles or ridges. Colophon deschodti lacks any tubercles on the head, but bears a median point on anterior margin of the head. Holotype description. Colour: Black. Size: length 20.5 mm, pronotal width 10.4 mm, mandible length: 3.28 mm. Head: With a distinct anterior margin, which is concave with a median point and a strong oblique ridge over the eye, no tubercles present (Table 1). Mandible: Apex of mandible deeply impressed on upper surface as in C. stokoei, but with the tooth on the inner basal margin rounded and nearly obsolete (Table 1). Mentum: Anterior surface with two projecting ridges, causing it to appear distinctly bifid in front ventral view (Table 1). Legs: As in C. struempheri (Fig. 4 c). Male genitalia: As in C. stokoei. Distribution. Hottentots Holland Mountains, Western Cape Province. Etymology. This species is named after Christian Deschodt in recognition of his contribution to the study of Colophon.Published as part of Jacobs, Carmen T., Scholtz, Clarke H. & Strümpher, Werner P., 2015, Taxonomy of Colophon Gray (Coleoptera: Lucanidae): new species and a status change, pp. 135-142 in Zootaxa 4057 (1) on pages 140-141, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4057.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/23323
Colophon switalae Jacobs & Scholtz, new species
No full textColophon switalae Jacobs & Scholtz, new species (Fig 2 a–d; Table 1). Type material. Holotype: (1 ♂: ISAM); Paratypes: (10 ♂: ISAM), (2 ♂: TMSA), (2 ♂: UPSA). Diagnosis. Colophon switalae is distinguished from other members in the group by the shape of the mentum, which is characterised by a distinct concave ridge on the anterior margin of the head. It is the only species in the group with two distinct colour forms. The shape of the mentum is also diagnostic (Table 1). Pairwise genetic distance from C. stokoei is 8.4 % for COI (Switala et al. 2014). Holotype description. Colour: Black. Size: length 23.4 mm, pronotal width, 11.9 mm, mandible length: 3.1 mm. Head: Anterior margin with distinct concave ridge, straight to sinuate (Table 1). Mandible: Apex of mandible deeply impressed on upper surface as in C. stokoei (Table 1). Mentum: Attenuated anteriorly in ventral view; anterior margin rounded; anterior surface quadrangulate and excavated (Table 1). Legs: Protibia robust (Fig. 3 c). Male genitalia: As in C. stokoei. Variation. Size: length 17.0–21.0 mm, pronotal width 9.7–10.8 mm (n = 14). Female: Unknown. Distribution. Hottentots Holland Mountains, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Etymology. It is with great pleasure that we name this species after Angelika Switala, in recognition of her contribution to our knowledge of these rare mountain relicts. Comment. The colour of the legs of the males shows two distinct forms, red and black, without any intermediates (Fig. 3 d). The populations of the two colour forms appear to occur allopatrically and may represent novel lineages but this requires further investigation.Published as part of Jacobs, Carmen T., Scholtz, Clarke H. & Strümpher, Werner P., 2015, Taxonomy of Colophon Gray (Coleoptera: Lucanidae): new species and a status change, pp. 135-142 in Zootaxa 4057 (1) on pages 137-138, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4057.1.9, http://zenodo.org/record/23323
De doden praten
No full textAbstract: De doden praten, tenminste als je een goede luisteraar bent. Zij vertellen ons alles over henzelf: vanwaar ze komen, hoe ze leefden, hoe ze stierven, en uiteraard, wie hen doodde. Een schedel, een skelet, een verbrand kaakbeen: Vlaanderens meest prominente forensisch patholoog Werner Jacobs kan er alles uit lezen. Want, zoals hij zelf zegt: "Doden verbergen nooit de waarheid. En ze liegen nooit. Ik laat ze spreken, een laatste keer.' Echte verhalen over moord en misdaad, confrontaties met de donkerste en meest angstaanjagende aspecten van het menselijk gedrag
