The 65Th NIBB Conference “Renaissance of Marchantia INTRODUCTION t is my great pleasure to introduce to you all the I 2017 Annual Report of the National Institute for Basic Biology (NIBB), which outlines the research activities of the Institute and its effective function as a center for col- laborative research in Japan over the last year. Given these important missions of the Institute, I recognize my strong responsibility to maintain the liberal and forward-looking atmosphere for research and discussion that NIBB has kept for many years, which I believe is a basis for these remark- able activities. The winning of the 2016 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine by Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi, who is a Professor Emeritus of NIBB, was effective in reminding the society and the government of the importance of basic research. The government apparently compromised the trend to reduce the fundamental budget for universities and inter-university research institute corporations in total, and I sincerely wish we would be finally at a turning point to the increase of support, which would be indispensable to recovery of the leading status of Japan in science. NIBB will stride properly to open up and foster new research fields in biology. To this end, every person in NIBB should do his/her best in accomplishing good research, keeping high ethics and compliance. Good science, even in a basic research field, will eventually benefit human beings. The history of science tells us this is true. NIBB will work hard to be truly acknowledged as a remarkable institution by society. Please find in this booklet a summary of the research, col- laborative, educational, and international activities of NIBB in 2017. I would like to note that we welcomed several new colleagues in 2017, including one associate professor, five assistant professors, and five NIBB research fellows, while four colleagues transferred to other institutes. I would like to congratulate Associate Professor Nobuyuki Shiina for winning the Astellas Award for the Best Biomedical Research, Mr. Takuya Norizuki for winning an Outstanding Poster Award from an academic society and Dr. Takashi Matsuda for winning the 22nd Nagakura Research Incentive Award, as detailed on page 7. To establish NIBB as an international leading institute in the field of basic biology, we always welcome your sugges- tions, comments and queries concerning our activities, in addition to your warm support.

  • 1 It's All Geek to Me: Translating Names Of
    IT’S ALL GEEK TO ME: TRANSLATING NAMES OF INSECTARIUM ARTHROPODS Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, O.M.P. U.S. Biological and Geological Survey of the Territories Central Post Office, Denver City, Colorado Territory [or Year 2016 c/o Kallima Consultants, Inc., PO Box 33084, Northglenn, CO 80233-0084] ABSTRACT Kids today! Why don’t they know the basics of Greek and Latin? Either they don’t pay attention in class, or in many cases schools just don’t teach these classic languages of science anymore. For those who are Latin and Greek-challenged, noted (fictional) Victorian entomologist and explorer, Prof. J. Phineas Michaelson, will present English translations of the scientific names that have been given to some of the popular common arthropods available for public exhibits. This paper will explore how species get their names, as well as a brief look at some of the naturalists that named them. INTRODUCTION Our education system just isn’t what it used to be. Classic languages such as Latin and Greek are no longer a part of standard curriculum. Unfortunately, this puts modern students of science at somewhat of a disadvantage compared to our predecessors when it comes to scientific names. In the insectarium world, Latin and Greek names are used for the arthropods that we display, but for most young entomologists, these words are just a challenge to pronounce and lack meaning. Working with arthropods, we all know that Entomology is the study of these animals. Sounding similar but totally different, Etymology is the study of the origin of words, and the history of word meaning.

    LIMINALITY IN THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY Furui Y oshikichi on physical and mental illness, death, social ostracism, and workplace and ageing stress.

This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Jennifer Mary Scott Date \\' 0:)..02 ABSTRACT The liminal is a condition of human existence which has been the concern of Japanese literature throughout its history, since it is an essential ingredient in the experience of crisis. This thesis examines Furui's contribution to this literature of the liminal (my term) - his careful and detailed psycho-socio-analytical studies of the late twentieth century mind in the liminal state. The introductory chapter begins with a brief overview of Furui 's writing and its place in contemporary Japanese literature, especially the literature of the liminal. I go on to outline the general theoretical approaches of the thesis. I base my argument on Turner's socio-anthropological interpretation of the tripartite structure of rites of passage, and focus on his view of the liminal as a threshold period or state in which normal social structures and hierarchies are replaced by the relatively unstructured egalitarianism of community (communitas).

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.
