Two New Heteropodine Genera from Southern Continental Asia (Araneae: Sparassidae)
2000
Two new genera of the subfamily Heteropodinae (Araneae: Sparassidae) are described from southern continental Asia: Pseudopoda gen. nov. and Bhutaniella gen. nov. Type species are designated and described: Pseudopoda prompta (OP-Cambridge 1885) COMB. NOV. and Bhutaniella hillyardi sp. nov. The following species, originally described as Heteropoda spp., are included in Pseudopoda gen. nov.: P. casaria (Simon 1897) COMB. NOV., P. exigua (Fox 1938) COMB. NOV., P. exiguoides (Song & Zhu 1999) COMB. NOV., P. grahami (Fox 1936) COMB. NOV., P. lushanensis (Wang 1990) COMB. NOV., P. virgata (Fox 1936) COMB. NOV., P. zhangmuensis (Hu & Li 1983) COMB. NOV., P. zhejiangensis (Zhang & Kim 1996) COMB. NO…
Sicilian transitional waters: Current status and future development
2010
To appraise the current knowledge of Sicilian transitional waters (TWs), a review was undertaken of the information available on these ecosystems. In detail, a synthesis of the current status is reported, highlighting for each area the ecological features and status, historical data, conservation regime, environmental emergencies and anthropic pressures to which they are subject. The Sicilian TWs reviewed include coastal ponds and lakes, mires and areas with active and nonactive saltworks. Almost all of these ecosystems are affected by several protection regimes because of their high naturalistic value, although current knowledge is limited and fragmented. A few areas have received more att…
Patterns of variation in tail ornament size in birds
1988
In recent years several different kinds of sexual selection models have been developed, and tail ornaments in birds have frequently been used as an example of a sexually selected character where the models might apply. However, very little is known about intra- and interpopulation variation in ornament size. We have studied the elongated tail ornaments in four species of whydahs Vidua, the forktailed flycatcher Tyrannus savana and the Asian paradise flycatcher Terpsiphone paradisi. Ornaments were relatively longer in males with the longest tarsi (‘heterogony’ with positive allometry). Also, tail lengths were remarkably variable within each geographical area, the coefficient of variation (av…
Influence of artificial reefs on the surrounding infauna: Analysis of meiofauna
2002
We adopted a bottom-up approach in studying the effect of two artificial reefs in contrasting environmental conditions (sandy-mud and meso-eutrophic in the Adriatic Sea versus coarse sands and oligotrophic in the Tyrrhenian Sea) on the surrounding environment by assessing changes in the meiofauna. The spatial distribution of meiofaunal assemblages was established along a transect running from within each reef to well outside its direct sphere of influence, along with information on the trophic conditions of sediments (chloropigments, proteins, carbohydrates and total organic matter). Although total densities were significantly higher in the Adriatic than in the Tyrrhenian, the meiofauna dis…

Enhancing Skills in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder through Technology-Mediated Interventions
2017
Marco teórico Las personas con Trastorno del Espectro Autista (TEA) presentan dificultades en el desarrollo de habilidades de comunicación e interacción social (American Psychiatric Association, 2013) que son fundamentales para los procesos de aprendizaje y aparición del lenguaje verbal. Una de estas habilidades es la atención conjunta (AC), que consiste en la habilidad de una persona para captar la atención de otra hacia un objeto o evento mediante el seguimiento de la mirada, señalar u otro tipo de indicación verbal o no verbal (Mundy, 2016). Por otro lado, el número de estudios sobre intervenciones mediadas por el uso de nuevas Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) se ha …
European evidence-based recommendations for clinical assessment of upper limb in neurorehabilitation (CAULIN): data synthesis from systematic reviews…
2021
Abstract Background Technology-supported rehabilitation can help alleviate the increasing need for cost-effective rehabilitation of neurological conditions, but use in clinical practice remains limited. Agreement on a core set of reliable, valid and accessible outcome measures to assess rehabilitation outcomes is needed to generate strong evidence about effectiveness of rehabilitation approaches, including technologies. This paper collates and synthesizes a core set from multiple sources; combining existing evidence, clinical practice guidelines and expert consensus into European recommendations for Clinical Assessment of Upper Limb In Neurorehabilitation (CAULIN). Methods Data from systema…
