The Use of Protein Electrophoresis for Determining Species Boundaries in Amphipods
Authors: Stewart Barbara A. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe use of protein electrophoretic data for determining species boundaries in amphipods is addressed. Analysis of published literature on genetic differentiation in amphipods showed that pairs of allopatric populations which have genetic identities (I) above a value of 0.85 probably represent intraspecific populations, whereas pairs of populations which have genetic identities below about 0.45 probably represent different species. It was recommended that if I values fall between 0.45 and 0.85, additional factors such as evidence of a lack of gene flow between the populations, and concordant morphological variation should be considered.
Découverte De Bitias Brevis (Rathbun, 1906) à mAdagascar (Decapoda, Pandalidae)
Authors: Crosnier Alain , Fransen Charles H.J.M. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractPandalus brevis Rathbun, 1906, based on an Hawaiian specimen and never rediscovered until now, was found in Madagascar and is redescribed. The reexamination of Rathbun's type reveals that this species belongs to the genus Bitias Fransen, 1990, which with Billas stocki Fransen, 1990, includes now 2 species which are compared.
The Sensory Tubercle On the Eyestalk of the Shrimp Crangon Crangon (Linnaeus, 1758) (Decapoda, Caridea)
Authors: Chaigneau Jean , Besse Colette 
Published: April 2008

Abstract
Many podophthalmous Crustacea present a more or less salient external structure near and in proximal position to the compound eyes. It is called sensory pore, eye papilla or eye tubercle, according to shape and author. Some SEM and TEM ultrastructural studies on several Caridea and Penaeidae have revealed a complex structure with at least two chemoreceptor-like organs: the main sensory pore (MSP) and the lateral sensory pore (LSP). MSP is a thin discoidal cuticular zone perforated by micropores. Beneath it there is a layer of sensory-like cells, each with two ciliary outer segments branching into a sub-cuticular cavity. The dcndrite parts of the sensory cells are surrounded by supporting cells. The tissue organisation reminds of that of a Vertebrate olfactive mucosa. The LSP consists of a cluster of bipolar sensory cells often ending in a pit similar to an invaginated chemoreceptive seta, found in Arthropoda. The present study deals with the common shrimp Crangon crangon (Linnaeus, 1758), which displays a highly salient conical papilla. This differs in shape from the sensory pores anatomically studied so far. Ultrastructural observations show an important LSP which ends at the tip of the cone rather than in a pit. The equivalent of the MSP is sunken into the base of the cone. This pattern is original and closer to that found in the Penaeidae than to that of the Caridea observed. Therefore, the MSP-LSP complex of Decapoda, in spite of a similar basic structure, presents very different external aspects in different species. It is also confirmed that this complex is very close to, but separate from, the internal organ of Bellonci.
Nebalia Lagartensis (Leptostraca) a New Species From the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
Authors: Escobar-Briones Elva , Villalobos-Hiriart José Luis 
Published: April 2008

Abstract
A new species of Nebalia is described from Ría Lagartos in the Yucatán Peninsula, Mexico, increasing the number of described species in this genus to 13. The species closely resembles a complex of species recognized for the tropical western Atlantic that will need further study. The importance of the shape of the denticles on the dorsal plconal segments 6 and 7 as a taxonomical character is discussed.
Nouvelles Récoltes Et Nouvelles Espèces De Majidae De Profondeur Du Genre Oxypleurodon Miers, 1886
Authors: De Forges B. Richer 
Published: April 2008

AbstractMajid crabs of the genus Oxypleurodon from Indonesia, New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna Islands, are studied here and their morphological characteristics precised. The position of this recently rehabilitated genus in relation to the two most closely similar genera Sphenocarcinus A. Milne Edwards, 1878 and Rochinia A. Milne Edwards, 1875, can now be reexamined. Two new species are described, O. tavaresi sp. nov. from Wallis Is., and O. karubar sp. nov. from the Moluccas.
Geosesarma Notophorum Sp. Nov. (Decapoda, Brachyura, Grapsidae, Sesarminae), a Terrestrial Crab From Sumatra, With Novel Brooding Behaviour
Authors: Ng Peter K.L. , Tan Cheryl G.S. 
Published: April 2008

Abstract
A new species of terrestrial crab, Geosesarma notophorum (Grapsidae, Sesarminae), is described from Pulau Lingga, an island east of Sumatra, Indonesia. Geosesarma notophorum belongs to the G. malayanum group of species, but can be distinguished from congeners in having iridescent green eyes, the shape of its carapace, form of its external orbital tooth, and structure of the male first pleopod. The female is unusual in carrying the young crabs on its back.
The Presence of Ridgewayia Marki Minorcaensis N. Ssp. in the Western Mediterranean
Authors: Carola Marta , Razouls Claude 
Published: April 2008

AbstractFifteen specimens of Ridgewayia marki minorcaensis n. ssp., collected from Calan Porter Cave, Minorca (western Mediterranean) on 18 July, 1988, are compared with closely related species. The presence of a hitherto undescribed structure on the basis of the right fifth leg of the male justifies establishing a new subspecies. This is the second record of this species, next to that from the Bermuda islands, and thus represents an interesting geographic distribution. The presence, in the same cave, of Exumella polyarthra Fosshagen, 1970, until now found only in the Bahamas, might pose the hypothesis of a relict character of these Mediterranean populations.
Cancer Armadillus Herbst, 1790, the Valid Name for Demania Bangladeshensis Ng, Huda & Banu, 1987, and Demania Indiana Deb, 1987 (Decapoda, Brachyura, Xanthidae)
Authors: Ng Peter K.L. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe identity of Cancer armadillus Herbst, 1790, a name not used since it was first established, is clarified. It is shown to be a species of Demania Laurie, 1906 (Brachyura, Xanthidae), a genus of poisonous Indo-West Pacific crabs. Herbst's species is regarded as conspecific with Demania bangladeshensis Ng, Huda & Banu, 1987, and the holotype of D. bangladeshensis is here designated as the neotype of Cancer armadillus. Demania indiana Deb, 1987, is also here regarded as a junior synonym of Demania armadillus.
Idotea Chelipes (Pallas, 1766), Esptce Polytypique: Description De Ses Sous-Espèces (Isopodes, Valvifères)
Authors: Charfi-Cheikhrouha Faouzia 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe polytypy of Idotea chelipes is defined on the basis of morphological criteria. A new subspecies Idotea chelipes mediterranea of western Mediterranean ponds is described. Idotea bocqueti of the east coast of Tunisia is considered here to be a subspecies of I. chelipes. The nominate form of that species, Idotea c. chelipes inhabits the East Atlantic, North Sea and Baltic. A detailed diagnosis of Idotea chelipes bocqueti is given.
The Genus Mica Budde-Lund, 1908 and a Redescription of Mica Tardus (Budde-Lund, 1885) (Isopoda, Oniscidea)
Authors: Carolina Di Maio Maria , Caruso Domenico 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe authors compared the genus Mica with Agabiforrrcius, Leptotrichus and Lucasius. They studied the type-material of Lucasius pallidus and Mica tardus, kept in some European museums. They redescribed and illustrated Mica tardus, also using specimens of their own collection; this species has often been mistaken for Lucasius pallidus. They also gave the geographic distribution of Mica tardus.
Redescription of the Arctic-Boreal Species Calathura Brachiata (Stimpson, 1853) (Isopoda, Anthuridea, Paranthuridae)
Authors: Negoescu Ileana , Brandt Angelika 
Published: April 2008

AbstractCalathura brachiata (Stimpson, 1853) has been found in the North Atlantic, north of Iceland and northeast of Greenland; 750 specimens have been investigated. Although this species is quite large and widely distributed, the identification was complicated by the fact that the synonymy with Calathura norvegica (Sars, 1872) and Anthura arctica (Heller, 1875) had not yet been satisfactorily resolved. Moreover, the descriptions of these species were either incomplete, or it was difficult to recognize the species from the illustrations. We therefore present a complete redescription of manca stages 2 and 3, as well as of an adult female, on the basis of our material from the North Atlantic, together with a redescription of an adult male based on museum material.
Redescription of Hippolyte Obliquimanus Dana, 1852, and Comparison With Hippolyte Williamsi Schmitt, 1924 (Decapoda, Caridea)
Authors: d'UDEKEM d'ACOZ Cédric 
Published: April 2008

AbstractExamination of topotypic (Brazilian) specimens of Hippolyte obliquimanus Dana, 1852, and H. exilirostratus Dana, 1852, shows that the two species are identical and also conspecific with the West Indian H. curacaoensis Schmitt, 1924. The name obliquimanus Dana, 1852 is given precedence over exilirostratus Dana, 1852. The species is redescribed and compared to its East-Pacific counterpart H. williamsi Schmitt, 1924.
Three New Species of Pontellidae (Copepoda, Calanoida) From Coastal Waters of Java, Indonesia
Authors: Mulyadi  
Published: April 2008

AbstractThree new species of the family Pontellidae, Labidocera javaensis, L. muranoi and Pontella labuanensis, are described and illustrated from specimens collected in coastal waters of Java, Indonesia, and their relationships to related species are discussed. Labidocera javaensis, which belongs to the Labidocera pectinata-group, is distinguishable from other species of this group by a combination of characters of the genital complex and the fifth legs in the female and of the fifth metasomal somite, the first urosomal somite, and the fifth legs in the male. It seems to be a neritic species inhabiting coastal waters shallower than 15 m in depth, and within 1 km offshore. Labidocera muranoi, which was collected from Cilacap Bay, a mangrove estuary facing the Indian Ocean, belongs to the Labidocera kroyeri-group and is distinguished from other species of this group by the urosomal somites and the fifth legs in the female and by the fifth metasomal somite and the fifth legs in the male. This may be an endemic species which has a preference for low salinities. Pontella labuanensis does not belong to any of the known three species-groups of Indo-West Pacific Pontella, in having the symmetrical genital somite and the exopods of the fifth legs virtually naked in the female, and the rostrum with double convex lenses and the exopods of the fifth legs with two subequal thumbs, in the male. The establishment of a new species-group, the P. labuanensis-group, is proposed.
On Two New Species of Freshwater Crabs of the Genera Sayamia and Heterothelphusa (Brachyura, Parathelphusidae) From Southern Thailand
Authors: Ng Peter K.L. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractTwo new species of freshwater crabs of the family Parathelphusidae are described from southern Thailand. Sayamia melanodactylus sp. nov. is one of the smallest members of the genus known, and seems to be most closely related to S. sexpunctata, but differing in carapace and male gonopod characters as well as in the colour of the fingers of its minor chelae (black against brown). Heterothelphusa fatum sp. nov. is related to H. insolita from nearby northeastern Peninsular Malaysia, but has a distinctly more swollen carapace, proportionately more slender ambulatory legs and a very differently structured major male chela.
Rediscovery and Redescription of Austriocyclops Vindobonae Kiefer, 1964 (Copepoda, Cyclopoida) With Remarks On the Subfamily Eucyclopinae Kiefer
Authors: Pospisil Peter , Stoch Fabio 
Published: April 2008

AbstractSince the publication of the description of Austriocyclops vindobonae Kiefer, 1964, all known material was represented by a single female collected in a groundwater well in Vienna (Austria), characterized by a strong reduction of leg 5. The recent discovery of several specimens of A. vindobonae in phreatic waters in Vienna allows a redescription of the female and the first description of the male. The rudimentary fifth leg consists of one or two setae and resembles that of some Cyclopinae genera; however, the presence of tube-like, plumed aesthetascs on the male antennula and the spine pattern of the basipod of the antenna reveal that the genus Austriocyclops belongs to the subfamily Eucyclopinae. The inadequacy of using the fifth leg in the definition of this subfamily is discussed, and new characteristics for definition (shape and location of aesthetascs on male antennule and ornamentation pattern of antenna basipod) are proposed.
Phenomenology, Psychology, and Radical Behaviorism: Skinner and Merleau-Ponty On Behavior
Authors: Corriveau Michael 
Published: April 2008

AbstractScientific points of view, according to which my existence is a moment of the world's, are always both naive and at the same time dishonest, because they take for granted, without explicitly mentioning it, the other point of view, namely that of consciousness, through which from the outset a world forms itself round me and begins to exist for me.*
Psychogenesis: A Theory of Perinatal Experience
Authors: Tien Stephen Slade 
Published: April 2008

AbstractPerinatal experience is posited as generative of psychogenesis: the psychological birth of the infant. The process involves a sentient human being rather than a nonconscious tabula rasa fetus. That birth experience is only traumatic is reductionist. The origins of positively colored affects as well as sexual feelings and even ecstasy may be intrauterine. The importance and complexity of the birth experience can better be described in terms of phases of being that parallel the physical stages of labor. These phases are immanence, obstruence, descendence, experience, ascendence, emergence, and transcendence. Each of these phases encompasses a unique state and dynamic process. Birth as such is shown to be a rich multidimensional experience that is also transformative.
Operative Intentionality: : Notes on Merleau-Ponty's Approach to Mental Activities That Are Not the Exclusive Product of the Conscious Mind
Authors: Freeman Adam 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis article is meant to give psychotherapists a glimpse of the clinical implications of Merleau-Ponty's approach to unconscious thought and insight. Freud found evidence of consciousness and intentionality in processes that were understood in terms of coincidence or biological automata. Phenomenology has demonstrated that intentionality is an attribute of the entire embodied subjectivity. Both approaches point to the fact that the sphere of lived intentions is much larger than that of conscious thought. The article includes clinical examples.
From Symptoms to Phenomena: The Articulation of Experience in Schizophrenia
Authors: Corin Ellen , Lauzon Gilles 
Published: April 2008

AbstractResearch conducted in Montreal with schizophrenic patients was aimed at exploring the mode of Being-in-the-world and the kind of lifeworld associated with a positive evolution. Data were collected through open-ended interviews with patients who were contrasted for their rate of rehospitalization. The analysis combined structural analysis, inspired by hermeneutics, and discourse analysis. The interpretation of the data was guided by the framework provided by European phenomenological psychiatry. The research indicates that nonrehospitalization is associated with a specific mode of Being-in-the-world, which is described at several levels: At the structural level, it is marked by a stance of "positive withdrawal" dominated by personal detachment; self-perceptions evidence various semiological and rhetorical strategies that contribute to the rearticulation of a sense of personal identity; narratives reveal that patients resort to a limited number of specific life strategies for relocating themselves within their own biography and within the present world. Hypotheses are posed regarding the potential influence of the North American culture on the restorative strategies drawn from the patients' narratives.
Modernity and the Upgrading of Psychological Reflectivity
Authors: Poulsen Arne 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThe societal dynamism of modernity results in the theoretical upgrading and the actual development of personal reflective capacities, for example abstract reasoning, Kantian morality, and the development of the idiocentered perspective. These capacities are created in the disembedding of prereflective capacities, for example context-sensitive intelligence, care-morality, and mundocenteredness. The reflective capacities become the prerequisite of further modernization. The development-potential offered by the demands of modernity is accompanied by a risk of assimilative stress, for example pseudological reasoning, varieties of postmodernism, making a fetish of the medium, and the forfeit of the morality of care.
Presuppose Nothing! the Suspension of Assumptions in Phenomenological Psychological Methodology
Authors: Ashworth Peter 
Published: April 2008

AbstractHistorically, the suspension of presuppositions (the epoché, or bracketing) arose as part of the philosophical procedure of the transcendental reduction which, Husserl taught, led to the distinct realm of phenomenological research: pure consciousness. With such an origin, it may seem surprising that bracketing remains a methodological concept of modern phenomenological psychology, in which the focus is on the life-world. Such a focus of investigation is, on the face of it, incompatible with transcendental idealism. The gap was bridged largely by Merleau-Ponty, who found it possible to interpret Husserl's later work in an existentialist way, and thus enabled the process of bracketing to refer, not to a turning away from the world and a concentration on detached consciousness, but to the resolve to set aside theories, research presuppositions, ready-made interpretations, etc., in order to reveal engaged, lived experience. This paper outlines the history of the suspension of presuppositions and discusses the scope and limitations of bracketing in its new sense within existential phenomenology. The emphasis is on research practice and on the phenomenological quest for entry into the life-world of the research participant. It is argued that the bracketing of presuppositions throughout the process of research should be a cardinal feature of phenomenological psychology. Of equal importance is the investigator's sensitive awareness that the investigation of the life-world and the phenomena which appear within it is a thoroughly interpersonal process, necessarily entailing the taken-for-granted assumptions implicit in all social interaction. These presuppositions are not open to bracketing.
The New Generation of Diagnostic Manuals (Dsm-Iii, Dsm-Iii-r aNd Dsm-Iv) : an Overvi Ew an d a pHenomenologically Based Critique
Authors: Goldfarb Mical , Halling Steen 
Published: April 2008

AbstractGiven the extraordinary influence of the DSM-III and its successors, the DSM-III-R and the DSM-IV, it behooves humanistically oriented practitioners to appraise these new manuals most carefully. Toward this end, we discuss the goals that have guided the manuals' development and provide an overview of their basic structure. This is followed by a phenomenologically based critique, evaluating the claim that these manuals are "descriptive" and "atheoretical." We conclude with a discussion of five guiding principles for phenomenological diagnosis and assessment.
The Interpermeation of Self and World: Empirical Research, Existential Phenomenology, and Transpersonal Psychology
Authors: Adams Will W. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractThis study, based upon empirical phenomenological research, explores an essential phenomenon of human existence: the interpermeating communion of self and world. In interpermeation, the supposed separation of self and world is transcended. The being, energy, life, and meaning of the world "flow into" one's self and become integrated as part of who one is; simultaneously, one's being, consciousness, awareness, and self "flow into" the world (via perception and action) and become part of the world. Conscious of interpermeation, we tend to understand ourselves and reality differently, and to be more aware and compassionate with others and the natural world: awareness of interpermeation generates love as love generates awareness of interpermeation. A hermeneutic dialogue is offered between existential phenomenology, transpersonal psychology, and the world's spiritual traditions.
The Natural-Scientific Constitutive Phenomenological Psychology of Humans in the Earliest Sartre
Authors: Embree Lester 
Published: April 2008

AbstractSartre was strongly attracted by what he had heard about German phenomenology. Raymond Aron was spending a year at the French Institute in Berlin and studying Husserl simultaneously with preparing a historical thesis. When he came to Paris he spoke of Husserl to Sartre. We spent an evening together at the Bec de Gaz in the Rue Montparnasse. We ordered the speciality of the house, apricot cocktails; Aron said, pointing to his glass: "You see, my dear fellow, if you are a phenomenologist, you can talk about this cocktail and make philosophy out of it!" Sartre turned pale with emotion at this. Here was just the thing he had been longing to achieve for years-to describe objects just as he saw and touched them, and extract philosophy from the process. (Simone de Beauvoir, The Prime of Life, p. 112).
Sartre and Lived Experience
Authors: McBride William L. 
Published: April 2008

Abstract"The conception of 'lived experience' marks my change since L'Etre et le Néant ... L'Etre et le Néant is a monument of rationality. But in the end it becomes an irrationalism, because it cannot account rationally for those processes which are 'below' consciousness and which are also rational, but lived as irrational. Today, the notion of 'lived experience' represents an effort to preserve that presence to itself which seems to me indispensable for the existence of any psychic fact, while at the same time this presence is so opaque and blind before itself that it is also an absence from itself."1
Archaeological Investigations in Azerbaijan (1986-1990)1
Authors: Goshgarli G. , Aliev I. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractArchaeologists in Azerbaijan have studied the period in the middle of the first millennium B.C. which laid the economic basis of later states in the area (e.g. Atropene and Caucasian Albania) and during which nomadic peoples became settled pastoralists and arable farmers. Their work has revealed the process of transformation of temporary camps into permanent settlements, confirming ancient references to ca. 30 cities in Albania, and indicates the emergence of a new culture integrating native and Iranian elements in the late 1 st mill. B.C. -early 1 st mill. A.D. Mediaeval archaeology still focusses on urban settlements, but the number of sites and the scale of investigations have increased considerably. Main concerns have been the process and problems of urbanisation and the development of crafts, trade and architecture, however use of modern scientific methods studying the mass of excavated material is expected to throw light on the genesis of the mediaeval town, its social structure.and typology and the social aspects of its craft industries.
The Sasanian Šahrab of Balkh
Authors: Nikitin A.B. 
Published: April 2008

AbstractOne group of fragmentary clay seals of the Kushano-Sasanian period found in 1976 at Djigadépé near Balkh in N. Afghanistan bears the portrait of a Sasanian official and a unique double inscription in Bactrian and Middle Persian scripts. Combination of the various fragments allows a full reading of the inscription and the identification of the owner as a high official-šahrab-of modern Balkh. The seal is tentatively dated to the 4th c. A.D., but too few seals of this period are known to make this certain.
