Benthic hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Weddell Sea (Antarctica)
2019
Hydrozoans are a conspicuous component of Antarctic benthic communitites. Recent taxonomic effort has led to a substantial increase in knowledge on the diversity of benthic hydroids from some areas of the Southern Ocean, including the Weddell Sea, the largest sea in the Antarctic region. However, the study of many hydrozoan taxa are still pending, and the diversity in this huge region is expected to be higher than currently known. In order to contribute to the knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of these cnidarians, a study of unpublished material collected by several German Antarctic expeditions aboard the RV Polarstern in the eastern sector of the Weddell Sea has been conducte…
The evolution of palate shape in the Lepilemur‐Cheirogaleidae clade (Primates: Strepsirrhini).
2020
15 pages; International audience; Objectives: Phylogenies consistently group the folivorous Lepilemur species with the small-bodied insectivorous-frugivorous cheirogaleids. Juvenile lepilemurs and adult cheirogaleids share allometries in most aspects of skull morphology, except the palate. We investigated potential influences on palate shape in these taxa and several outgroups using geometric morphometrics.Materials and methods: Our sample included representatives of four extant strepsirrhine families, Cheirogaleidae (including Lepilemurinae), Lemuridae, Indriidae, and Galagidae, and one subfossil Megaladapis. Our dataset comprised 32 landmarks collected from 397 specimens representing 15 g…
Benthic hydroids (Cnidaria, Hydrozoa) from the Ross Sea (Antarctica) collected by the New Zealand Antarctic expedition BioRoss 2004 with RV Tangaroa
2017
During the New Zealand BioRoss 2004 survey, with RV Tangaroa , sampling of marine communities on the Ross Sea shelf was undertaken. Samples were obtained employing several sampling gears (Van Veen grab, epibenthic sled, rough bottom trawl, and beam trawl). Among the numerous benthic samples obtained, a large and important collection of hydroids was present. Sixty-one species, four of them new to science ( Monocoryne antarctica sp. nov., Halecium tangaroa sp. nov., Staurotheca gracilis sp. nov. and Symplectoscyphus densus sp. nov.) have been recorded. Oswaldella blanconae sp. nov. is also described. “Anthoathecata” are represented by ten species belonging to the families Bougainvilliidae, Ca…
»…vzpomínám na něho ustavičně a přeji mu, aby se mu tatínek brzo vrátil«. O (terapeutycznej) roli pamięci w korespondencji więziennej Jana Zahradníčka
2020
Przedmiotem analizy są listy czeskiego poety Jana Zahradníčka wysyłane z komunistycznego więzienia do żony Marii w latach 1951–1960. Wybór to zapis zarówno życiowej traumy wynikającej z długo letniej izolacji oraz tragedii rodzinnej (śmierć dwóch córek), a jednocześnie świadectwo tego, że dzięki terapeutycznej roli pamięci autor przetrwał ów trudny czas. Punktem wyjścia są m. in. rozważania Aleidy Assmann, które co prawda prymarnie odnosiły się do pamięci kolektywnej społeczeństw dotkniętych traumatyczną przeszłością, ale mogą być także użyteczne dla rozpatrywanego tutaj studium przypadku jednostki.
¿Habrá moros en la costa? La producción cultural centroamericana leída desde España / Would there be Moors on the Coast? Central American Cultural Pr…
2017
Resumen: La literatura centroamericana hizo su aparición en la península española cuando Rubén Darío viajo hacia Madrid en 1892. París y Madrid se convirtieron en las metrópolis culturales de Centroamérica a partir de esa fecha. Sin embargo, su pertenencia a la región no fue reconocida como tal. En España esta producción fue leída desde una perspectiva hispano-céntrica que le fue útil a la península para resolver sus propias contradicciones de legitimación en el seno de Europa. En consecuencia, los escritores centroamericanos que publican con éxito en la península no pueden ser centroamericanos y cosmopolitas a la vez. En España se transforman en “hispanoamericanos.” Lo anterior elide su ce…

Hybridization between mouse lemurs in an ecological transition zone in southern Madagascar
2009
Hybrid zones in ecotones can be useful model systems for the study of evolutionary processes that shape the distribution and discreteness of species. Such studies could be important for an improved understanding of the complex biogeography of Madagascar, which is renowned for its outstanding degree of small-scale endemism. Certain forest remnants in central Madagascar indicate that transitional corridors across the island could have connected microendemics in different forest types in the past. Evolutionary processes in such corridors are difficult to study because most of these corridors have disappeared due to deforestation in central Madagascar. We studied a hybrid zone in one of the few…
Discrepant partitioning of genetic diversity in mouse lemurs and dwarf lemurs--biological reality or taxonomic bias?
2013
Unequal degrees of taxonomic subdivision can pose problems for research that relies on cross-taxon comparisons of biogeographic patterns. Numerous species of lemurs have been described in recent years. These descriptions were unevenly distributed over the genera of lemurs as exemplified by the closely related mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) and dwarf lemurs (Cheirogaleus spp.). According to previous studies, these genera display striking differences such as many versus few species, small versus large distributions, and small versus large mitochondrial divergence within and between species. We questioned if these differences reflect the biological reality or a biased taxonomic subdivision, wh…
The Studium Generale foundation and its juridic tradition
2020
Tras unas consideraciones sobre las relaciones entre el proceso de consolidación de una oligarquía urbana, durante el siglo XIII, y la misma fundación del Estudio General, entre otras razones esgrimidas por la historiografía, reflexionamos, en esta ocasión, sobre la tradición jurídica que ayudaría a definir el contexto normativo fundacional, y, derivado de esto, la necesidad e importancia de aquella primera Facultad de Derecho (Civil y Canónico) surgida en los territorios hispánicos de la Corona de Aragón, así como de los juristas que impartieron sus lecciones y de aquellos que las recibieron. After some considerations on the relationships between the process of consolidation of an urban ol…
Hybridization of mouse lemurs: different patterns under different ecological conditions
2011
Abstract Background Several mechanistic models aim to explain the diversification of the multitude of endemic species on Madagascar. The island's biogeographic history probably offered numerous opportunities for secondary contact and subsequent hybridization. Existing diversification models do not consider a possible role of these processes. One key question for a better understanding of their potential importance is how they are influenced by different environmental settings. Here, we characterized a contact zone between two species of mouse lemurs, Microcebus griseorufus and M. murinus, in dry spiny bush and mesic gallery forest that border each other sharply without intermediate habitats…
