De renovatie van het Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika moet immers verder reiken dan de vernieuwing van het museumgebouw en van de perma- nente tentoonstelling. Enkel een metamorfose op verschillende niveaus zal het Museum toelaten te groeien als moderne en dynamische instelling die zich toespitst op zowel heden als verleden van Afrika. Omdat de streefdoelen en initiatieven tijdens de overgangsjaren 2003–2004 vrijwel parallel liepen, werden ze samengebun- deld in een enkel verslag. De rode draad van dit dubbele jaarrapport is, zoals de titel aangeeft, de valorisatie van de kennis en van de collecties. Het ontsluiten van het wetenschappelijk onderzoek, van de unieke expertise en van de verzamelingen over Afrika behoorde de laatste twee jaar tot de topprioriteiten. De talrijke in dit kader genomen initiatieven lopen op lange termijn en richten zich zowel op het grote publiek als op de wetenschappelijke wereld. EEN DIEPGAANDE VERNIEUWING STIMULEERT DE METAMORFOSE VAN HET KMMA VAN VOORMALIG KOLONIAAL MUSEUM TOT MAATSCHAPPIJGERICHTE EN VOORUITSTREVENDE INSTELLING Het Museum concentreerde zich, behalve op de digitalisering die de toegang tot collecties en gegevens systematisch zal ver- gemakkelijken, ook op een aantal belangrijke interne hervormingen en heroriënteringen. Zo werden bijvoorbeeld de publieksgerichte diensten uitgebouwd, het wetenschappelijk onderzoek beter omkaderd (meer dan honderd publicaties per jaar) en de resultaten ervan sneller aan het brede publiek bekendgemaakt. Doorgedreven infor- matisering en de hervorming van het personeelsbeleid in het kader van het Copernicusplan van de Federale Overheid zorg- den voor een vlottere organisatie. Het Museum haalde de banden met de Afrikaanse gemeenschappen in België nauwer aan en ging heel wat nieuwe partnerschappen aan in binnen- en buitenland. Ook het stimuleren van interdisciplinaire samen- werking wierp vruchten af en de wetenschappelijke productie was onverminderd hoog. Een vlottere interne en externe communicatie kwam er onder meer door het ontwikkelen van een nieuwe huisstijl, de ‘Achter de schermen’-campagnes, allerlei brochures, een bezoekersgids en een nieuwe website. De bezoekers konden ook genieten van een groeiend aanbod aan ateliers en activiteiten en het nu jaarlijkse cultureel evenement ‘Africa< >Tervuren’ kende een stijgend succes. Op het vlak van de renovatie van het Museumgebouw en van de zalen werd in samenwerking met de Regie der Gebouwen en de Commissie voor Monumenten en Landschappen een belangrijke stap gezet met de afwerking van de technische dossiers. HET KONINKLIJK MUSEUM VOOR MIDDEN-AFRIKA IS ONGETWIJFELD DE BELANGRIJKSTE INSTELLING TER WERELD VOOR WAT BETREFT HET NATUURLIJK EN CULTUREEL ERFGOED VAN MIDDEN-AFRIKA. DOOR DE HERVORMINGEN WILLEN WE DEZE TOPPOSITIE IN DE VOLGENDE JAREN CONSOLIDEREN EN VERDER UITBOUWEN In 2003 stonden de publieksgerichte activiteiten in het teken van ‘Het woord aan de Afrikanen’. Dit resulteerde in drie tijde- lijke tentoonstellingen en een gemeenschappelijke culturele programmering met de Afrikaanse gemeenschappen in België. In 2004 trokken we deze lijn door bij de ontwikkeling van de tentoonstelling Congo. Natuur & Cultuur, de eerste echte inter- disciplinaire tentoonstelling van het Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika. Datzelfde jaar werd ook hard gewerkt aan de voorbereiding van de tentoonstelling Het geheugen van Congo. De koloniale tijd, die begin 2005 haar deuren zal openen als bijdrage van het Koninklijk Museum voor Midden-Afrika aan de viering van 175 jaar België en 25 jaar federalisme. Deze ten- toonstelling over het koloniale verleden van Congo vormt een uitermate belangrijke schakel in het vernieuwingsproces, niet in het minst omdat het Museum lange tijd symbool stond voor de visie van België op het Afrika van vóór 1960. Het opnieuw kritisch onderzoeken van ons gemeenschappelijke verleden is dan ook een essentiële stap in de renovatie van het KMMA. De positieve resultaten die het Museum de laatste twee jaar boekte, zijn grotendeels te danken aan het enthousiasme en de inzet van gedreven medewerkers en aan het succes van onze partnerschappen in binnen- en buitenland. Ook danken we Federaal Wetenschapsbeleid en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking en de betrokken ministers en hun admi- nistratie voor hun onafgebroken steun. foto – photo : Raymond Dakoua : Raymond – photo foto Guido Gryseels, Directeur Guido Gryseels, directeur van het KMMA sinds augustus 2001.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Proteomics and Metabolomics Studies on the Biotic Stress Responses of Rice: an Update
    Vo et al. Rice (2021) 14:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12284-021-00461-4 REVIEW Open Access Proteomics and Metabolomics Studies on the Biotic Stress Responses of Rice: an Update Kieu Thi Xuan Vo1†, Md Mizanor Rahman1†, Md Mustafizur Rahman1, Kieu Thi Thuy Trinh1, Sun Tae Kim2 and Jong-Seong Jeon1* Abstract Biotic stresses represent a serious threat to rice production to meet global food demand and thus pose a major challenge for scientists, who need to understand the intricate defense mechanisms. Proteomics and metabolomics studies have found global changes in proteins and metabolites during defense responses of rice exposed to biotic stressors, and also reported the production of specific secondary metabolites (SMs) in some cultivars that may vary depending on the type of biotic stress and the time at which the stress is imposed. The most common changes were seen in photosynthesis which is modified differently by rice plants to conserve energy, disrupt food supply for biotic stress agent, and initiate defense mechanisms or by biotic stressors to facilitate invasion and acquire nutrients, depending on their feeding style. Studies also provide evidence for the correlation between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and photorespiration and photosynthesis which can broaden our understanding on the balance of ROS production and scavenging in rice-pathogen interaction. Variation in the generation of phytohormones is also a key response exploited by rice and pathogens for their own benefit. Proteomics and metabolomics studies in resistant and susceptible rice cultivars upon pathogen attack have helped to identify the proteins and metabolites related to specific defense mechanisms, where choosing of an appropriate method to identify characterized or novel proteins and metabolites is essential, considering the outcomes of host-pathogen interactions.

Microbiome (2020) 8:38 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40168-020-00823-y RESEARCH Open Access Most dominant roles of insect gut bacteria: digestion, detoxification, or essential nutrient provision? Tian-Zhong Jing1*, Feng-Hui Qi2 and Zhi-Ying Wang1 Abstract Background: The insect gut microbiota has been shown to contribute to the host’s digestion, detoxification, development, pathogen resistance, and physiology. However, there is poor information about the ranking of these roles. Most of these results were obtained with cultivable bacteria, whereas the bacterial physiology may be different between free-living and midgut-colonizing bacteria. In this study, we provided both proteomic and genomic evidence on the ranking of the roles of gut bacteria by investigating the anal droplets from a weevil, Cryptorhynchus lapathi. Results: The gut lumen and the anal droplets showed qualitatively and quantitatively different subsets of bacterial communities. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that the gut lumen is dominated by Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes, whereas the anal droplets are dominated by Proteobacteria. From the anal droplets, enzymes involved in 31 basic roles that belong to 7 super roles were identified by Q-TOF MS. The cooperation between the weevil and its gut bacteria was determined by reconstructing community pathway maps, which are defined in this study. A score was used to rank the gut bacterial roles. The results from the proteomic data indicate that the most dominant role of gut bacteria is amino acid biosynthesis, followed by protein digestion, energy metabolism, vitamin biosynthesis, lipid digestion, plant secondary metabolite (PSM) degradation, and carbohydrate digestion, while the order from the genomic data is amino acid biosynthesis, vitamin biosynthesis, lipid digestion, energy metabolism, protein digestion, PSM degradation, and carbohydrate digestion.

  • The Ibis, Journal of the British Ornithologists' Union: a Pre-Synthesis Poredacted for Privacy Abstract Approved: Paul L
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Kristin Renee Johnson for the degree of Master of Science in History of Science, th presented on August 7 , 2000. Title: The Ibis, Journal of the British Ornithologists' Union: A Pre-Synthesis poRedacted for privacy Abstract approved: Paul L. Farber In 1959 the British Ornithological journal, The Ibis, published a centenary commemorative volume on the history of ornithology in Britain. Over the previous few decades, the contributors to this volume had helped focus the attention of ornithologists on the methods, priorities, and problems of modem biology, specifically the theory ofevolution by natural selection and the study ofecology and behaviour. Various new institutions like the Edward Grey Institute ofField Ornithology symbolized the increasing professionalization of both the discipline's institutional networks and publications, which the contents of The Ibis reflected in its increasing number ofcontributions from university educated ornithologists working on specific biological problems. In looking back on the history of their discipline, the contributors to this centenary described both nineteenth century ornithology and the continued dominance oftraditional work in the pages of The Ibis in distinctive ways. They characterized them as oriented around specimens, collections, the seemingly endless gathering of facts, without reference to theoretical problems. The centenary contributors then juxtaposed this portrait in opposition to the contents ofa modem volume, with its use of statistics, graphs, and tables, and the focus ofornithologists on both natural selection and the living bird in its natural environment. This thesis returns to the contents ofthe pre-1940s volumes of The Ibis in order to examine the context and intent ofthose ornithologists characterized as "hide-bound" by the centenary contributors.
