  • INDEPENDENT STUDY: Module 2, Class 25
    INDEPENDENT STUDY: Module 2, Class 25 Please note: The pictures and comments in the transcript and recording below have been gathered over many years and where possible, I attribute them to their original source. If anyone connected with these photographs or comments would like them removed, please notify me and I will be happy to comply. The recording for Class 25 is 36 minutes. Class 25: Shell #s: 60, 22 I think by now you have no doubt of the diversity among our mollusk friends. One of the most dramatic examples of this is the contrast between the vampires and the heroes. First, let me introduce the vampires. I would like you to meet the Maculated Dwarf Triton. It is much smaller than its relative, the Pacific Trumpet Triton that we met in class #14 on shells and religion. If you recall, the Trumpet Triton was large enough to be employed as a trumpet for Shinto priests to call people in to pray. To understand why I label the Dwarf Triton a vampire, a picture is worth 1,000 words. Or should I say, two pictures. The first shows a sleeping Parrot fish with a Dwarf Triton nearby. If you look very closely, there is a fine line leading from the Dwarf Triton to the fish. That tiny line is the triton’s proboscis…or mouth. In our lesson on Cone Shells, do you remember the radula with single file poisonous harpoon-like “teeth” to paralyze prey? The radula ribbon is contained inside the proboscis. In the case of the Dwarf Triton, they possess a scalpel adaptation and anesthetizing chemicals allowing the proboscis to be inserted directly into the sleeping fish.

Abstract A new genus of the subfamily Pontoniinae, Ancylomenes gen. nov. is established for the ‘Periclimenes aesopius species group’ of the genus Periclimenes Costa. The new genus is distinguished from other genera of Pontoniinae on account of the strongly produced inferior orbital margin with reflected inner flange, and the basicerite of the antenna armed with an angular dorsal process. Fourteen species have been previously recognized as belonging to the ‘P. aesopius species group’. One Eastern Pacific species (P. lucasi Chace), and two Atlantic species (P. anthophilus Holthuis & Eibl- Eibesfeldt, and P. pedersoni Chace) are now also placed in Ancylomenes gen. nov. A further new species associated with a cerianthid sea anemone, A. luteomaculatus sp. nov. is described and illustrated on the basis of specimens from the Ryukyu Islands, southern Japan, and Philippines. A key for their identification, and a checklist of the species of Ancylomenes gen.

El Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente quiere animar, a mucha más gente que antes, a tomar medidas para evitar que la creciente presión sobre los sistemas naturales del planeta Tierra llegue a un punto de ruptura. El tema de 2016 es la lucha contra el comercio ilegal de especies silvestres, el comercio ilegal ejerce una gran presión sobre la biodiversidad del planeta y pone en peligro la supervivencia de los elefantes, los rinocerontes y tigres, así como muchas otras especies. También socava nuestras economías, las comunidades y la seguridad.

In this study, mitochondrial genomes of two stag beetles, Sinodendron yunnanense and Prosopocoilus confucius, are sequenced for the first time. Both of their genomes consisted of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), 2 ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), and a control region. The mitogenome of S. yunnanense was 16,921 bp in length, and P. confucius was 16,951 bp. The location of the gene trnL(UUR), between the A þ T–rich and control region in S. yunnanense, is the first observed in Lucanidae. In P. confucius, an unexpected noncod- ing region of 580 bp was discovered. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference on the 13 mitochondrial PCGs were used to infer the phylogenetic relationships among 12 representative stag beetles and three scarab beetles.

  • Monthly Catalogue | NHBS
    January 2018 Monthly Catalogue Welcome to the January 2018 edition of the NHBS Monthly Catalogue, which lists all new titles added to our website in the last month. The end of 2017 turned out very well with some excellent titles being announced before the year was out. Birdwatchers can look out for four new field and identification guides: Cornell University Press will publish Birds of Nicaragua in May; Bloomsbury is publishing Antpittas, a new Helm Identification Guide to this sought-after group of South American birds in July, and Birds of Japan in June; and Princeton University Press will publish Birds of Chile: A Photo Guide, also in June. Bloomsbury's A Shadow Above: The Fall and Rise of the Raven, due February, sounds very intriguing as well. On the mammal front, Johns Hopkins University Press has announced a new addition to the Walker's series, Mammals of the World: Monotremes, Marsupials, Afrotherians, Xenarthrans, and Sundatherians, due June. The International Polar Institute Press just announced Narwhal: Revealing an Arctic Legend for February, which is one of only a handful of books on this seldom-seen whale species, while Oxford University Press will publish Orca: How We Came to Know and Love the Ocean's Greatest Predator in July. Cambridge University Press will publish Wild Chimpanzees: Social Behaviour of an Endangered Species in May, and Academic Press has just published Cheetahs: Biology and Conservation. There are two titles in this month's list that are worth highlighting for botanists: The Collins Press will publish Lichens of Ireland and Great Britain: An Illustrated Introduction to Over 300 Species in May, and Kyle Books will publish Wild Flowers of Britain and Ireland: A Photographic Identification Guide to over 600 Species in April.
