Gracia y gobierno en la administración valenciana del seiscientos. Hacia nuevos consensos

2015

Desde 1645 dos miembros de la nobleza local entraron a formar parte de la sala criminal de la Audiencia valenciana. Como consejeros de capa y espada asumieron competencias en materias de gracia y gobierno. Con esta medida se introdujo una moderación del arbitrio virreinal en tales ejercicios. Pero, sobre todo, la corona convirtió a la pequeña y mediana nobleza del reino en nueva colaboradora de su política de control estamental. From 1645 two members of the local nobility came to form part of the Criminal Chamber of the Valencian audience. As Ministers of «capa y espada» took powers in matters of Grace and Government. This measure was introduced a moderation of the Viceregal discretion in s…

Molecular phylogeny of the families Campulidae and Nasitrematidae (Trematoda) based on mtDNA sequence comparison.

1998

Abstract Historically, the systematic arrangement of the genera within the family Campulidae, and its relationship with its allied family Nasitrematidae have been rather confused, particularly because only adult morphology has been available to classical taxonomic analysis. In this paper we provide a partial phylogeny of the genera of these families based on mtDNA from five campulid species: Campula oblonga, Zalophotrema atlanticum, Hadwenius tursionis, Oschmarinella rochebruni and ; and one nasitrematid, Nasitremaglobicephalae . Fasciola hepatica and Dicrocoelium dendriticum were used as outgroups. Maximum parsimony and neighbour-joining methods were applied. Both methods produced similar …

The origin of Lecithodesmus (Digenea: Campulidae) based on ND3 gene comparison

2000

Species of Lecithodesmus (Campulidae) occur almost exclusively in baleen whales throughout a wide geographical distribution. Other campulids occur only in odontocetes and, secondarily, in pinnipeds and the sea otter. Therefore, the ancestor of Lecithodesmus might have either cospeciated with mysticetes during the early divergence of mysticete and odontocete cetaceans or originated later via host switching. We evaluate both possibilities based on a phylogenetic analysis. The ND3 mitochondrial gene sequence of a species of Lecithodesmus was included in a previous partial molecular phylogeny of the Campulidae. Fasciola hepatica and Dicrocoelium dendriticum were used as outgroups. Maximum parsi…

Phylogenetic relationships of the family Campulidae (Trematoda) based on 18S rRNA sequences

1998

Traditionally, the family Campulidae has been associated either with the family Fasciolidae, parasites of ruminants, or the Acanthocolpidae, parasites of fishes, based on morphological similarities. Since morphology does not seem to resolve clearly the problem of the relationships of campulids, we have used the sequences of the 18S rRNA gene of the campulids Zalophotrema hepaticum, Campula oblonga and Nasitrema globicephalae, the fasciolid Fasciola hepatica, the acanthocolpid Stephanostomum baccatum and the outgroup Schistosoma mansoni to infer a phylogeny. Maximum parsimony and neighbour-joining methods were applied. Both methods indicated that campulids are closer to acanthocolpids than f…

Diagnosis of Human Trematode Infections

2019

Digenetic trematodes form a major group of human parasites, affecting a large number of humans, especially in endemic foci. Over 100 species have been reported infecting humans, including blood, lung, liver, and intestinal parasites. Traditionally, trematode infections have been diagnosed by parasitological methods based on the detection and the identification of eggs in different clinical samples. However, this is complicated due to the morphological similarity between eggs of different trematode species and other factors such as lack of sensitivity or ectopic locations of the parasites. Moreover, the problem is currently aggravated by migratory flows, international travel, international t…

Phenotypic plasticity in haptoral structures of Ligophorus cephali (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) on the flathead mullet (Mugil cephalus): A Geometric M…

2015

Abstract Evaluating phenotypic plasticity in attachment organs of parasites can provide information on the capacity to colonise new hosts and illuminate evolutionary processes driving host specificity. We analysed the variability in shape and size of the dorsal and ventral anchors of Ligophorus cephali from Mugil cephalus by means of geometric morphometrics and multivariate statistics. We also assessed the morphological integration between anchors and between the roots and points in order to gain insight into their functional morphology. Dorsal and ventral anchors showed a similar gradient of overall shape variation, but the amount of localised changes was much higher in the former. Statist…

Holocene as Anthropocene

2015

In their Perspective “Defining the epoch we live in” (3 April, p. [38][1]), W. F. Ruddiman et al. write that in spite of its popularity, the Anthropocene still lacks an official onset. They propose that the term anthropocene be used informally (without the initial capital), which would avoid the

Scripting the Rules for Mars and Venus: Advice Literature and Online Dating

2007

An Amazon.com search for ‘guide to online dating’ produces tens of hits ranging from Online Dating for Dummies and Complete Idiot’s Guide to Online Dating and Relating to titles targeted at Christians, teens, seniors, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and straight users, and people in recovery. This plethora of advice literature – in addition to novels, films, TV programmes, and articles on the topic – corresponds to the multitude of online dating services developed during the past decade. The books outline basic principles of online dating, available solutions, and netiquette. In addition, they provide guides in self-improvement in the tradition of self-help literature, which according to Lichterman…

Contribution to the taxonomy of the family Campulidae Odhner, 1926 (Digenea) by means of a morphometric multivariate analysis

1996

Digeneans of the family Campulidae occur exclusively in marine mammals, particularly in cetaceans. Their taxonomy is confused, being based on adult morphology only. We used a multivariate discriminant analysis of morphometric data to provide new evidence on the taxonomy of the Campulidae. Measurements of 217 specimens from 21 species of all seven genera of the family were taken. The percentage of specimens correctly assigned into their own species was 96.3%. The first three discriminant functions accounted for most of the variation between the species, which were grouped together in suprageneric groups along the first and the second function. The ordination pattern observed conforms partly …
