leucobrephos brephoides , the scarce infant moth , is a moth of the family geometridae .

it is found from yukon to labrador and south to new york and southern alberta and british columbia .

the habitat consists of open mixed wood forests of the boreal and mountain region .

the wingspan is about 29 mm .

adults are on wing from march to may with a peak in mid to late april in alberta .

generally , the flight period begins when snow patches are still on the ground .

the larvae feed on populus tremuloides , betula papyrifera and alnus , but have also been recorded on salix and populus balsamifera .

all these species produce catkins early in spring , which may be important food sources prior to leave flush .

distribution data for u . s . states and canadian provinces is known to be incomplete or has not been reviewed for this taxon .
a location where the species occurs or has occurred and where there is potential for persistence or regular recurrence . for most species minimally verification of an adult or larva in association with suitable habitat including larval foodplant . minimum verification standards vary by species from genitalia dissection to decent photographs , but specimens are strongly recommended . it is usually advisable to rear larvae to the adult stage for positive identification .
most of these species are more or less landscape level moths that occupy a variety of wooded habitats and often adjacent shrublands and thickets . in the context of habitat separation , suitable habitat includes marginal habitat and unsuitable means sparsely wooded to treeless places without suitable larval foodplant . for the relatively few included species that are specialized feeders forest or woodland where the foodplant is absent or nearly so can be treated as unsuitable habitats . in particular for the obligate conifer feeders , forest tracts in which suitable ( for that species ) pines , spruces , firs , etc . comprise fewer than 4 canopy trees per hectare may be regarded as unsuitable . see habitat and food comments fields for species - specific information on what constitutes habitat when mapping occurrences .
this figure is arbitrary but a circle of two kilometers radius would define a habitat clearly smaller than most , but well above the smallest ones . it is probably unrealistically low in extensively forested areas . this figure should not be used however if forests are reduced to small woodlots and the landscape is more than 50 % agricultural or otherwise essentially devoid of native tree cover . in such cases the inferred extent is simply the woodlot in which the collection was made . in general with habitats under 1000 hectares assume full occupancy .

the salamandroidea are a suborder of salamanders , referred to as advanced salamanders .

the members of the suborder are found worldwide except for antarctica , sub-saharan africa , and oceania .

they differ from suborder cryptobranchoidea as the angular and prearticular bones in their lower jaws are fused , and all members use internal fertilization .

the female is fertilized by means of a spermatophore , a sperm-containing cap placed by the male in her cloaca .

the sperm is stored in spermathecae on the roof of the cloaca until it is needed at the time of oviposition .

the earliest known salamandroid fossils are specimens of the species beiyanerpeton jianpingensis from the tiaojishan formation , dated to the late jurassic period about 157 ( plus or minus 3 ) million years ago .

we paleontologists can sometimes suffer from envy when we look at the sheer amount of data that a molecular systematist can bring to bear on a question of evolutionary relationship between species . our fossils are often fragmentary , and the fossil record can be stingy , especially failing to produce small , fragile taxa such as amphibians over periods of tens of millions of years . nevertheless , paleontologists have exclusive access to some information from deep time , primarily the combination of primitive and derived states that can tell the story of character transformation within a lineage , assuming the taxon is sufficiently well represented in the fossil record . we also used to claim exclusive access to information on the timing of events of evolution , but because of the development of molecular clock techniques we now have to share this stage . molecular divergence estimates are highly sensitive to the number , location , and topological distribution of calibration points (
) , and fossils , being constraints on the younger end of cladogenesis , necessarily underestimate divergence timing . the result of these sets of potential biases is a frequent mismatch in the ages estimated by using either set of data . this discrepancy has certainly been evident with respect to the evolution of extant amphibians ( frogs , salamanders , and caecilians ; collectively lissamphibia ) , with molecular estimates being much older ( as much as 100 myr ) than the fossil record suggests (
salamanders are the morphologically most generalized of the three extant groups , not having the locomotor specializations of their sister taxa frogs ( i . e . , jumping ) or caecilians ( i . e . , burrowing ) . there is an important divergence near the base of the salamander phylogenetic tree ( fig . 1 ) between the cryptobranchoids ( cryptobranchidae and hynobiidae ) , and salamandroids ( all other salamanders , excepting sirenidae , whose placement remains controversial ) . until the pnas study ( 12 ) , the oldest known salamandroid was from the cretaceous of spain ( 13 ) . gao and shubin ' s new species extends this range by 40 myr , with important implications for our understanding of salamander evolution .
stratigraphic column from the mid - mesozoic to recent , showing the impact of the new fossil salamander published in pnas ( 12 ) . the blue bar represents the estimate of salamandroid divergence from yang and rannala ( 1 ) , and the red bar represents that from zhang et al . ( 6 ) . “a” is the stratigraphic placement of the stem salamander kokartus ; “b1” the age of chunerpeton used in reisz and müller ( 3 ) and roelants ( 9 ) ; “b2” the age of chunerpeton used by zhang et al . ( 6 ) ; “c” the new fossil salamandroid ; and “d” the previously oldest known salamandroid valdotriton . the new salamandroid extends their known range by 40 myr ( dashed red line ) , placing it older than an estimate made from the fossil record ( 6 ) . the impact of changing hypotheses of taxonomic or stratigraphic placement is also demonstrated ; the different age interpretations for chunerpeton has a 17 - myr impact on the divergence estimate as read from the fossil record ( dashed line ) .
it is the 40 - myr age range extension that has the most exciting implications . a number of estimates for the divergence of cryptobranchoids and salamandroids have been made in the past several years (
) has become more commonplace . however , these estimates are still much older than suggested by a direct reading of the fossil record . one recent attempt to infer divergence by using just fossils (
) estimated this split to be at approximately 143 mya , which is more than 30 myr more recent than the youngest of the molecular estimates , and 80 myr younger than the average of the molecular estimates .
this discrepancy results from a few issues with the fossil data that skew this estimate toward younger ages , and biases in the molecular data that skew estimates in the older direction . the first , and probably greatest , effect with respect to this particular fossil - based estimate is the incompleteness of the fossil record for lissamphibians . there are enormous periods of nonrepresentation during which we know there must have been fossils . approximately 80 myr span between triadobatrachus ( the first frog ) and the stem salamanders karaurus and kokartus . similarly , there are approximately 55 myr between triadobatrachus and the first caecilian eocaecilia , and the next caecilian fossil does not occur for another 45 myr ( 20 ) . the fossil record improves as it gets progressively younger , but not evenly or even predictably . this incompleteness makes what is already an underestimate biased toward even younger ages . a second issue is a methodological decision made by marjanović and laurin ( 10 ) to use “hard” maximal constraints , i . e . , making the statement that a clade can definitely not be older than a particular lower bound ( in stratigraphic terms , older is toward the bottom and younger to the top of a stacked time series ) . however , we already know that the fossil record is an underestimate of true age of divergence , so those bounds themselves are just as prone to these same systematic biases , and most of the molecular studies have not used maximal constraints as a result . finally , there is a disagreement over the age of the earliest cryptobranchoid chunerpeton ( 21 ) , which underscores the need for explicitness when using stratigraphic and fossil data to constrain divergence estimates ( 4 ) .
this discrepancy is where the new fossil salamandroid fits into the picture . gao and shubin ' s new salamander extends the known range of salamandroids by 40 myr , or 17 myr older than the time that had been estimated by the fossils alone . this starkly underscores the caution we must take when making statements about evolutionary trends from a direct reading of the fossil record . however , the new fossil salamander is still much younger than most estimates from molecular clocks .
gao and shubin ' s new salamander extends the known range of salamandroids by 40 myr .
this may be a result of a fragmentary fossil record ; fossils await discovery that will create more range extensions into deep time , eventually to approach the dates suggested by the molecular clocks . alternatively , it might point toward systematic biases within the chosen calibration method ( 1 ) or the molecular data themselves ( 22 ) .
one recent molecular study estimated a time of divergence that fits very well with this new fossil ( 5 ) . the authors used fossil data in a number of innovative ways . first , they used a number of external and internal calibration points from the fossil record as hard minimal constraints ( i . e . , the clade must have diverged by this point ) . they then took the suggestion of using maxima ( 10 ) , but instead of using these as absolute or hard constraints , used them as “soft” constraints by creating a distribution of possible ages for these events . the result of their method , depending on the exact parameters used , places the basal salamander divergence slightly ( 3 myr ) to reasonably ( 13 myr ) older than this first salamandroid ( fig . 1 ) . not using any maximal constraint increased the age of estimation for the divergence by 20 to 30 myr , and using hard maxima made the estimate 10 myr younger than the soft maxima . the preference for using the soft maxima withstood this test from the fossil record well , and may point the direction for future molecular clock work ( 1 ) , but further analytical work will be necessary to ensure these results are repeatable and consistent before they become standard practice . however , notwithstanding the caution with which fossil data should be used , they appear to increase the accuracy of estimates of divergence made by molecular clock models , and should be incorporated ( with appropriate provisos ) whenever possible .

tranquil star ( foaled in 1937 ) was one of the hardiest and best performed australian-bred thoroughbred race-mares .

she is the only mare to have won the double of the caulfield stakes , now known as the yalumba stakes , and the cox plate , which is the most prestigious weight-for-age ( wfa ) race in australia .

tranquil star had 111 starts and won over distances ranging from 5 furlongs ( 1,000 metres ) to 14 furlongs ( 2,800 metres ) .

she was later inducted into the australian racing hall of fame .

out of her 111 starts , tranquil star won 23 . she ran second 20 times and third 12 times . considering the level of the races she did win , it is hard to conceive of what could have caused her to run unplaced in over half of her races . her most serious injury was a broken jaw that threatened her as a six - year - old . if it must be granted that she was versatile and durable , it must also be acknowledged that she was unpredictable at times . she jumped as favourite in 18 of her races , only to be beaten . nine of her wins were principal races at the time that now would be considered group 1 .
upon a time , somewhere in the universe very far from here , lived a peaceful star , which moved peacefully in the immensity of the sky , surrounded by a crowd of peaceful planets about which we have not a thing to report . this star was very big and very hot , and its weight was enormous : and here a reporter’s difficulties begin . we have written “very far , ” “big , ” “hot , ” “enormous” : australia is very far , an elephant is big and a house is bigger , this morning i had a hot bath , everest is enormous . it’s clear that something in our lexicon isn’t working .
returning in the spring as a four - year old , dulcify became a star of world racing . he was responsible for one of the all - time great performances in australian racing history – a cox plate victory by seven lengths and the most aesthetically - pleasing win ( black caviar and frankel aside ) you’ll ever see .
bred at st alban ' s stud near geelong , tranquil star had an uneventful two - year - old season , with two moderate wins from 11 starts . as a three - year - old she showed her real quality with wins in the edward manifold stakes , st george stakes and vrc st leger . in her only visit to sydney , she took out the chipping norton stakes and the cumberland plate . her four - year - old season was ordinary , with just two wins and a number of placings from 21 starts . she came back to form with a vengeance as a five - year - old with six wins , including the caulfield stakes , caulfield cup , cox plate and mackinnon stakes .
perceptive will be aware of the harnessed aggression , the immense forcefulness , magnetic intensity , and often strangely hypnotic personality under the tranquil , but watchful composure of scorpio . in conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with , thoughtful in conversation , dignified , and reserved , yet affable and courteous ; they sometimes possess penetrating eyes which make their shyer companions feel naked and defenseless before them .
thirty years after 29 - year - old myron c . cramer enlisted in the army as a cavalry private in the washington national guard , he reached the pinnacle of his career on december 1 , 1941 , as he exchanged his colonel ' s eagles for the two - star rank of major general as judge advocate general of the army .
superstar kingston town won the cox plate a record three times ( successive years ) and others who won it twice last century were phar lap , chatham , young idea , beau vite , tranquil star , flight , hydrogen and tobin bronze . sunline won it twice , but in separate centuries , scoring in 1999 and 2000 . she finished second in 2001 behind northerly ( protest unsuccessful ) and fourth when he joined the elite band of dual cox plate winners in 2002 . since then the cox plate winners have included fields of omagh ( by cox plate winner rubiton , successful 2003 and 2006 ) , makybe diva ( gb ) ( 2005 ) , so you think ( 2009 and 2010 ) , ocean park ( 2012 ) and adelaide ( 2014 ) .
of this restlessness arab and chinese astronomers were aware . the europeans , no : the europeans of that time , which was a time of struggle , were so convinced that the heaven of the stars was immutable , was in fact the paradigm and kingdom of immutability , that they considered it pointless and blasphemous to notice changes . there could be none—by definition there were none . but a diligent arab observer , equipped only with good eyes , patience , humility , and the love of knowing the works of his god , had realized that this star , to which he was very attached , was not immutable . he had watched the star for thirty years , and had noticed that it oscillated between the fourth and the sixth of the six magnitudes that had been described many centuries earlier by a greek , who was as diligent as he , and who , like him , thought that observing the stars was a route that would take one far . the arab felt a little as if it were his star : he wanted to place his mark on it , and in his notes he called it al - ludra , which in his dialect means “the capricious one . ” al - ludra oscillated , but not regularly : not like a pendulum ; rather , like someone who is at a loss between two choices . it completed its cycle sometimes in one year , sometimes in two , sometimes in five , and it didn’t always stop in its dimming at the sixth magnitude , which is the last visible to the naked eye : at times it disappeared completely . the patient arab counted seven cycles before he died : his life had been long , but the life of a man is always pitifully brief compared with that of a star , even if the star behaves in such a way as to arouse suspicions about its eternity .

our room was of a high standard and we enjoyed a delicious meal in the restaurant . but what stood out was the high level of service provided by the owners . we were attending a family funeral and , overhearing our conversation about problems with a flower order , they put us in touch with a local florist who quickly sorted out the problem for us . all in all , their attention to detail and to meeting their guests ' needs made what could have been a stressful stay into a calm and tranquil experience . we will definitely be staying there again .
over the course of almost two years , from january 1940 to september 1941 , miró worked on the constellations with a seamless devotion and unrelenting concentration that distracted him from the hostile political climate of war - torn france and later spain . femme et oiseaux is one of the first ten compositions the artist executed during his exile in france following the outbreak of the spanish civil war . miró was living in the village of varengeville on the coast of normandy , where he could work in tranquil seclusion whilst also being inspired by the dramatic cliffs and constantly changing sky and seascape .
much interest , because the variable stars are so many , and also because , starting in 1750 , it was reduced to a speck , barely visible with the best telescopes of the time . but in 1950 ( and the message has only now reached us ) the illness that must have been gnawing at it from within reached a crisis , and here , for the second time , our story , too , enters a crisis : now it is no longer the adjectives that fail but the facts themselves . we still don’t know much about the convulsive death - resurrection of stars : we know that , fairly often , something flares up in the atomic mechanism of a star’s nucleus and then the star explodes , on a scale not of millions or billions of years but of hours and minutes . we know that these events are among the most cataclysmic that the sky holds ; but we understand only—and approximately—the how , not the why . we’ll be satisfied with the how .
