New Records of Cave-Dwelling Mysids from the Bahamas and Mexico With Journal of Natural History, 2002, 36, 265–278 New recordsof cave-dwelling mysids from the Bahamas and Mexico withdescription of Palaumysisbahamensis n.sp. (Crustacea: Mysidacea) GIUSEPPE L.PESCE²and THOMAS M.ILIFFE³ ² Dipartimentodi Scienze Ambientali, University ofL ’Aquila,Via Vetoio, 67100L ’Aquila,Italy ³ Department ofMarine Biology, Texas A&M University atGalveston, Galveston,TX 77553-1675, USA (Accepted22 August 2000 ) Newlocalities in the Bahamas and Mexico are reported for six species of stygobitic andstygophilic mysids from the genera Spelaeomysis , Stygiomysis , Antromysis and Heteromysis .Inaddition,a newspecies, Palaumysisbahamensis ,isdescribed froma marinecave in the Bahamas. This genus had previously contained only a singlespecies from anchialine caves in Palau, Indo-W estPaci® c. The biogeography andevolutionary origins of stygobitic mysids are discussed. An up-to-datekey to thespecies of the genus Spelaeomysis ispresented. Keywords: Mysidacea, Spelaeomysis , Stygiomysis , Antromysis, Heteromysis , Palaumysis,Bahamas,Mexico, cave, taxonomy, biogeography. Introduction Mysids arecommon inhabitants of both fresh and salt water(anchialine) caves and groundwaters in widelydiverse locations (Bowman,1984; Pesce et al., 1994). At least 38species in 19genera of subterranean mysids havebeen reported. In addition to clusters of stygobitic mysid species in Mexico and the Caribbeanand in the Mediterranean, two species ( Spelaeomysislongipes and Spelaeomysiscochiensis ) areknown from India and athird ( Spelaeomysisservatus )from Zanzibar,Kenya and Aldabra. As is the casewith anumber of stygobitic taxaincluding remipedes, speleophriid, misophrioid copepods, epacteriscid calanoid copepods, hadziid and pardaliscid amphipods, thaumatocyprid ostracods and thermosbaenaceans (Boxshall and Jaume, 1999),these distributions suggest aTethyanorigin involvingstranding, whereby the cavesand groundwaters inhabited bytheir marine ancestors were uplifted during regressions of the Tethys and the Mediterranean. Most freshwater subterranean mysids occur in localities not far from the coast, indicating arelatively recent origin from marine ancestors. Although manystygobitic species areendemic to speci® ccaveand /or groundwater systems on asingleisland or landmass, some Journalof NaturalHistory ISSN0022-2933 print /ISSN1464-5262 online Ñ 2002Taylor & FrancisLtd http://www.tandf.co.uk /journals DOI:10.1080 /00222930010005033 266 G.L.Pesce and T.M. Ili Œe such as Stygiomysisholthuisi (from cavewaters in the Bahamas,Anguilla, St. Martin and Puerto Rico) and Spelaeomysisservatus (from cavewaters in Kenya,Zanzibar and Aldabra) haveremarkably wide distributions. An up-to-date keyto the species of the genus Spelaeomysis is presented.

Taxonomicnotes .The singlespecimen weexamined from acavespring on the Rio Guayalejois identical to S. quinterensis described and illustrated byVillalobos (1951)from the type-locality (Quintero cave,Tamaulipas, Mexico), aswell as by Bowman( 1973,1982 )and Reddell (1981), also from Mexico, di Œering only bythe following minor characteristics: (1)Antennal scalemore rounded and slightlywider ascompared to Villalobos’ description and ®gures; antennal ¯agellumwith more and longer segments (® gure 2). (2)Sixteen to 18long spines on the medial lobe of uropod (® gure 4)(vs 20or more, and shorter spines both in Villalobos’and Bowman’s®gures). (3)Telson armed with 33spines (® gure 1)(vs 25and 27spines in Villalobos’ and Bowman’s®gures, respectively); moreover in the specimen from Guayalejospring, the medialapical spine is ¯anked bytwo slender plumose setae (vs the same spines ®gured asnaked in the originaland following descriptions and ®gures). However,in this last regard,we suppose that the re-examination of typicalmaterial could revealthe presence of the same plumose setae also in S. quinterensis ,since these setae havebeen reported and ®gured in other species of the genus ( S. bottazzi, S. longipes) and probably they could be present, but overlooked, also in the remaining ones. (4)Pleopod 2(® gure 3)slightlyshorter and less setulose ascompared to Villalobos’® gures. The peculiar telson armature could justify recognition of the Guayalejospring specimen asa distinct species or subspecies, but until enough materialfrom this locality,as well as from the type-locality, becomes availableto assess adequately the variabilityof S.quinterensis ,weconsider the Guayalejospring and the Villalobos’ materialto be conspeci® c.

The genus Spelaeomysis presently includes nine named species, seven from various groundwater habitats (anchialine caves,springs and wells)in south Italy,Zanzibar, Mexico and Cuba,one from prawn culture ®elds in India, and another one from crab burrows in Colombia. Recently, Garcõ a-Garza et al. (1996) presented akeyto the known species in the genus, including only seven species and omitting S. bottazzii Caroli,1924 and S. cochinensis Panampunnayil and Viswakumar,1991.

  • 2006 Flag Report on 11 Expeditions
    In 2005, Wings WorldQuest launched the Wings Expedition Flag Program to bring visibility and support to women leading expeditions of discovery. The Flag promotes the organization’s dedication to advancing exploration in science and art for educational purposes. The 2005 Flag Report, documenting six expeditions, was distributed to hundreds of young people across the country. We are delighted to bring you the 2006 Flag Report on 11 expeditions. A dozen more are currently in the field. The expeditions in the 2006 Flag Report cover the depths of the ocean, the grasslands of India, the Gobi desert, caves in Honduras and the Bahamas, jungles of Central America and the glaciers of the American Northwest. The explorers shed new light on mysteries of ancient humans as well as mysteries about Mars. They discovered new species, worked to save imperiled species, and extended their reach across cultural divides. What unites them is their passion for learning, their commitment to sharing their dis- coveries and their dedication to the preservation of the fragile zones they are exploring. • Kate Harris bicycled 4000 km as she traced Marco Polo’s travels along the ancient Silk Road. • Genie Clark recorded discoveries about coral reef fish in the Solomon Islands. • Sue Hendrickson searched for dinosaur fossils in Wyoming and explored caves in Honduras to find new species of geckos. • Stephanie Schwabe dived into forbidding caves in the Bahamas to examine the role that microbes play in the earth’s chemistry. • Gitanjali Banerjee investigated the endangered greater one-horned rhino in Jaldapara Wildlife Sanctuary, India. • Edith Widder, using her remarkable infrared camera invention Eye in the Sea, found new species on the ocean floor.

    Rabies Prevention and Control in Florida, 2014 Division of Disease Control and Health Protection FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH Division of Disease Control and Health Protection Executive Summary The purpose of this compendium is to provide recommended policies and procedures for rabies prevention and control in Florida. It is intended primarily for use by county health department staff, animal control specialists, veterinarians, health care providers and others with related responsibilities or interests. This publication, while produced and distributed by the Florida Department of Health, Division of Disease Control and Health Protection, has been developed by a multidisciplinary Florida Rabies Advisory Committee that represents the major agencies, institutions and organizations involved with rabies prevention and control in the state. Much of the information presented has been derived from materials previously published by the department as an operational manual ( Rabies and Animal Bite Investigation, HRSM 150-10, 1987), an informational monograph ( Rabies in Florida, Burridge, Sawyer and Bigler, 1986) and various policy statements issued over the past decade. Rabies Prevention and Control in Florida, 2008 is referenced as procedural guidelines in 64D-3 of the Florida Administrative Code. Procedural guidelines recommended in this document follow national standards published in the annual Compendium of Animal Rabies Control by the National Association of State Public Health Veterinarians. All material included on the management of human exposure and treatment of rabies is consistent with recommendations published in “Use of a Reduced (4-Dose) Vaccine Schedule for Postexposure Prophylaxis to Prevent Human Rabies Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices” (MMWR 2010;59(RR-2):1-9, "Human Rabies Prevention - United States, 2008 Recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices" (MMWR Early Release 2008;57:1-28), and Control of Communicable Diseases Manual (Heymann, APHA, 2008,19th edition).

  • Building American Puppetry on the Jim Henson Foundation
    BUILDING AMERICAN PUPPETRY ON THE JIM HENSON FOUNDATION DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Joy Reilly, Adviser Dr. Beth Kattelman Adviser Dr. Alan Woods Graduate Program in Theatre Copyright by Jennifer Kathleen Stoessner 2008 ABSTRACT Historically the United States, with the exception of ritual performances by indigenous Americans, did not have a distinct puppetry tradition, utilizing instead the imported techniques of its immigrant population. In the twentieth century, puppeteers began to explore puppetry’s capabilities, producing challenging and innovative theatrical work in a distinctly American style. Puppetry was given a stage as popular broadcasting content on the newly invented television. In this media environment, Jim Henson pioneered new techniques, becoming the most famous puppeteer in history. His success enabled him to serve his field as a spokesman and sponsor. In 1982, he established the Jim Henson Foundation, a non-profit organization to support puppetry artists. The Jim Henson Foundation is the only organization in the United States devoted to funding puppet theater and its mission reflects Jim Henson’s commitment to the community of artists who make American puppetry the vivid panorama it has become. Without the Foundation, puppetry in the United States would not be experiencing the explosion of creativity and exposure it currently enjoys. To present a picture of puppetry in the United States and Henson’s work, a brief history of puppetry in America as well as an in-depth scrutiny of Jim Henson’s career is provided.
