Elle groupe des Associations qui ont pour but, entièrement ou partiellement, l'étude et la diffusion des Sciences de la Nature. La FÉDÉRATION a pour mission de faire progresser ces sciences, d'aider à la protection de la Nature, de développer et de coordonner des activités des Associations fédérées et de permettre l'expansion scientifique française dans le domaine des Sciences Naturelles. (Art .1 des statuts). La FÉDÉRATION édite la « Faune de France ». Depuis 1921, date de publication du premier titre, 91 volumes sont parus. Cette prestigieuse collection est constituée par des ouvrages de faunistique spécialisés destinés à identifier des vertébrés, invertébrés et protozoaires, traités par ordre ou par famille que l'on rencontre en France ou dans une aire géographique plus vaste (ex. Europe de l’ouest). Ces ouvrages s'adressent tout autant aux professionnels qu'aux amateurs. Ils ont l'ambition d'être des ouvrages de référence, rassemblant, notamment pour les plus récents, l'essentiel des informations scientifiques disponibles au jour de leur parution. L’édition de la Faune de France est donc l’œuvre d’une association à but non lucratif animée par une équipe entièrement bénévole. Les auteurs ne perçoivent aucun droits, ni rétributions.

    J. Parasitol., 99(2), 2013, pp. 318–326 Ó American Society of Parasitologists 2013 A NEW SPECIES OF TRICHOSOMOIDIDAE (NEMATODA) FROM SKIN OF RED SNAPPER, LUTJANUS CAMPECHANUS (PERCIFORMES: LUTJANIDAE), ON THE TEXAS–LOUISIANA SHELF, NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO Carlos F. Ruiz, Candis L. Ray, Melissa Cook*, Mark A. Grace*, and Stephen A. Bullard Aquatic Parasitology Laboratory, Department of Fisheries and Allied Aquacultures, College of Agriculture, Auburn University, 203 Swingle Hall, Auburn, Alabama 36849. Correspondence should be sent to: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Eggs and larvae of Huffmanela oleumimica n. sp. infect red snapper, Lutjanus campechanus (Poey, 1860), were collected from the Texas–Louisiana Shelf (28816036.5800 N, 93803051.0800 W) and are herein described using light and scanning electron microscopy. Eggs in skin comprised fields (1–5 3 1–12 mm; 250 eggs/mm2) of variously oriented eggs deposited in dense patches or in scribble-like tracks. Eggs had clear (larvae indistinct, principally vitelline material), amber (developing larvae present) or brown (fully developed larvae present; little, or no, vitelline material) shells and measured 46–54 lm(x¼50; SD 6 1.6; n¼213) long, 23–33 (27 6 1.4; 213) wide, 2–3 (3 6 0.5; 213) in eggshell thickness, 18–25 (21 6 1.1; 213) in vitelline mass width, and 36–42 (39 6 1.1; 213) in vitelline mass length with protruding polar plugs 5–9 (7 6 0.6; 213) long and 5–8 (6 6 0.5; 213) wide. Fully developed larvae were 160–201 (176 6 7.9) long and 7–8 (7 6 0.5) wide, had transverse cuticular ridges, and were emerging from some eggs within and beneath epidermis.

D’Andrea’s is an insightful study of expressive indi- vidualism manifested in and through key cosmopolitan sites. This book is an 5 invaluable contribution to the anthropology/sociology of contemporary culture, 6 and presents required reading for students and scholars of new spiritualities, 7 techno-dance culture and globalization. 8 Graham St John, Research Fellow, 9 School of American Research, New Mexico 20111 1 D'Andrea breaks new ground in the scholarship on both globalization and the shaping of subjectivities. And he does so spectacularly, both through his focus 2 on neomadic cultures and a novel theorization. This is a deeply erudite book 3 and it is a lot of fun. 4 Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology 5 at the University of Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor 6 at the London School of Economics. 7 8 Global Nomads is a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, 9 a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines 30111 the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of counter- 1 cultural practice in paradoxical paradises. 2 Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland to shape an alternative 3 lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seek- 4 ing to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of 35 expressive individualism.

Pagnotta Received: 29 June 2016; Accepted: 9 October 2016; Published: 13 October 2016 Abstract: Macaw palm (Acrocomia aculeata) is native to tropical forests in South America and highly abundant in Brazil. It is cited as a highly productive oleaginous palm tree presenting high potential for biodiesel production. The aim of this work was to characterize and study the genetic diversity of A. aculeata ex situ collections from different geographical states in Brazil using microsatellite (Simple Sequence Repeats, SSR) markers. A total of 192 accessions from 10 provenances were analyzed with 10 SSR, and variations were detected in allelic diversity, polymorphism, and heterozygosity in the collections. Three major groups of accessions were formed using PCoA—principal coordinate analysis, UPGMA—unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic mean, and Tocher. The Mantel test revealed a weak correlation (r = 0.07) between genetic and geographic distances among the provenances reaffirming the result of the grouping.

ITE contributes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 13 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man- made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations in overseas projects and programmes of research.
