First shark record from the Upper Cretaceous of the Kuril Islands, Far East Russia
2020
Abstract The first find of a Late Cretaceous shark tooth, or of any cartilaginous fish for that matter, from the Kuril Islands in the Russian Far East is recorded as Carcharias sp. (Lamniformes, Carchariidae). The specimen originates from Maastrichtian strata on the island of Shikotan that are assigned to the Malokurilsk Formation. It constitutes an extremely rare find from rocks of this age in the northwest Pacific region. External and internal dental structures have been reconstructed by the use of computed tomography. The vasculature of this lamniform tooth is first modelled by CT scanning and shown under different angles, which allows an assessment of the spatial arrangement of hierarch…
MEDLEM database, a data collection on large Elasmobranchs in the Mediterranean and Black seas
2020
The Mediterranean Large Elasmobranchs Monitoring (MEDLEM) database contains more than 3,000 records (with more than 4,000 individuals) of large elasmobranch species from 21 different countries around the Mediterranean and Black seas, observed from 1666 to 2017. The principal species included in the archive are the devil ray (1,868 individuals), the basking shark (935 individuals), the blue shark (622 individuals), and the great white shark (342 individuals). In the last decades, other species such as the thresher shark (187 individuals), the shortfin mako (180 individuals), and the spiny butterfly ray (138) were reported with increasing frequency. This was possibly due to increased public a…

How to Become an Author: The Poet Isa Asp and Her Childhood Fascination with Writing for Magazines
2021
In this article the author explores the early development of the identity as a writer of a Finnish-speaking poet Lovisa (or Isa) Asp (1853–1872). She wrote her lyrics in the Finnish language in the 1870s, and she is regarded as the first 19th-century female Finnish poet (whose works were published in Finnish). She began writing poetry (initially in Swedish) as a teenager and started her literary career as a contributor to children’s magazines. Asp began her studies at the Teacher Training College in Jyväskylä in autumn 1871 with the aim of working as an elementary school teacher, but she also dreamt of becoming an established writer someday. Unfortunately, her early death meant that most of…
Pliocene colonization of the Mediterranean by Great White Shark inferred from fossil records, historical jaws, phylogeographic and divergence time an…
2020
Aim: Determine the evolutionary origin of the heretofore poorly characterized contemporary Great White Shark (GWS; Carcharodon carcharias) of the Mediterranean Sea, using phylogenetic and dispersal vicariance analyses to trace back its global palaeo-migration pattern. Location: Mediterranean Sea. Taxon: Carcharodon carcharias. Methods: We have built the largest mitochondrial DNA control region (CR) sequence dataset for the Mediterranean GWS from referenced historical jaws spanning the 19th and 20th centuries. Mediterranean and global GWS CR sequences were analysed for genetic diversity, phylogenetic relationships and divergence time. A Bayes factor approach was used to assess two scenarios …
First historical records of Carcharhinus brachyurus (Chondrichthyes, Carcharhiniformes) in the Mediterranean Sea
2009
The dried jaws of two specimens of Carcharhinus brachyurus were found in the collections of the Zoological Museum of the University of Palermo. Both pieces belong to the great Doderlein collection of fishes from Sicily assembled during the end of the nineteenth century (1862-1892) and are labelled as Carcarias (Prionodon) lamia and Carcharias lamia, respectively. These findings represent the first historical evidence of the presence of C. brachyurus in the Mediterranean Sea and add the southern Tyrrhenian to the species distribution within the Mediterranean. Moreover, sexual dimorphism in tooth morphology is documented for the first time in Mediterranean specimens. Some meristic and morphol…
An updated checklist of chondrichthyans of Calabria (Central Mediterranean, southern Italy), with emphasis on rare species
2020
In this contribution the checklist of chondrichthyans of Calabria (Central Mediterranean, southern Italy) is reported. Data presented is derived from twenty years of opportunistic and active surveys from 2000 to 2020. A total of 55 species of chondrichthyans is present in Calabrian seas: 33 sharks, 20 rays, and 2 chimaeras. These species represent approximately 62% of the total reported for the Mediterranean. Approximately 71% of Calabrian species have been reported in the Tyrrhenian Sea, 49% in the Ionian Sea, and 33% in the Strait of Messina. According to IUCN criteria, new records of Endangered and Critically Endangered species (i.e., Carcahrodon carcharias [Linnaeus, 1758], Lamna nasus …

Cette étude propose une réflexion inédite sur la pertinence d’inclure l’ICC dans la sphère de l’ISR. Nous établissons une comparaison à la fois qualitative et quantitative entre ces deux types d’investissement pour comprendre dans quelle mesure l’ICC se distingue de l’ISR. Les résultats révèlent une surperformance financière de l’ICC en période de crise en dépit d’une sous-performance sociétale. Nous concluons que, bien que l’ICC obéisse à une certaine conception de l’ISR, la non-inclusion des considérations ESG dans ses règles de management actuelles devrait conduire les communautés académique et professionnelle à le traiter en tant que type d’investissement à part entière.
Topeliuksen satujen Adalminan helmi ja Vattumato arvomaailmat : alkuperäiskielisten satujen ja niiden suomennosten vertailua
2016
Tutkin Topeliuksen satujen arvomaailmaa. Sitä on syytä tutkia, sillä siten saadaan selville satujen sanomaa uudesta näkökulmasta ja voidaan pohtia, millä tavalla sadut oikeastaan ovat vaikuttaneet meihin. Olen asettanut tutkimukselleni seuraavat tutkimuskysymykset: 1) Millaisia arvoja satujen maailmankuviin sisältyy? 2) Onko suomennosten ja ruotsinkielisten satujen arvomaailmassa eroja? Jos on, millaisia? Tutkimukseni aineisto koostuu neljästä sadusta: kahdesta ruotsinkielisestä sadusta ja niiden suomennoksista. Suomennokset ovat Irja Lappalaisen vuonna 1990 julkaistusta satukokoelmasta Topeliuksen satuaarteet sadut Adalminan helmi ja Vattumato. Alkuperäiskieliset, ruotsinkieliset sadut ova…
