Thismia tuberculata

description: 14. Thismia tuberculata Hatusima (1976: 4)
Type: — JAPAN. Kyushu, [border area of prefectures Kagoshima and Miyazaki]: Mt. Kirishima, in evergreen oak forest mixed with Machilus japonica, 520 m, 24 September 1972, S. Sako s.n. (syntypes RYU or URO, not located; KAG, not located).
Distribution: — Japan (Kyushu); possibly extinct (Suetsugu & Ishida 2011, Tsukaya 2016).
Nomenclatural notes: —In the original description of Thismia tuberculata, Hatusima (1976) cited two duplicates of the type gathering, one “in herb. Ryukyu Univ.” and the other “in herb. Kagoshima Univ.”, without indication of a holotype. The University of the Ryukyus is currently known to have at least two Herbaria belonging to its different faculties, RYU and URO, whereas the Herbarium of Kagoshima University was incorporated into KAG (Thiers 2024 [continuously updated]). The type specimens were not found in any of these three Herbaria (Kenji Suetsugu & Shuichiro Tagane, pers. comm.). Apparently, further efforts are needed to trace the type material of this species.

description: Headwater streams can contribute significant amounts of fine sediment to downstream waterways, especially when severely eroded and incised. Potential upstream sediment source identification is crucial for effective management of water quality, aquatic habitat, and sediment loads in a watershed. This study explored topographic openness (TO) derived from 1-m lidar for its ability to predict incision in headwater streams and to remotely detect changes in incision over time. Field surveys were conducted in one forested and two recently urbanized headwater watersheds in the Maryland Piedmont physiographic province, USA to characterize the level of stream channel incision (none, moderate, or severe) in the main stem of each watershed. Predictions of the severity of stream channel incision derived from TO were compared against the field surveys. Channel incision was detected with an overall accuracy of 67 %, with best performance in reaches with either severe or no incision (79–86 % accuracy). The method was also applied to repeat lidar collected over the same area to model the extent of channel incision in 2002 before urban development began and in 2008 and 2013 during active construction in the urban watersheds. Results showed increasing incision over time in all three watersheds, with similar patterns in the forested and urban watersheds. This new method of remotely measuring channel incision can be used to identify potential sediment sources across a watershed, enhance water and habitat quality predictions, and detect changes over time where multiple years of overlapping lidar are available.
Search for new light bosons with the KATRIN experiment
Creators: name: Lauer, Joscha

Year: 2024

description: The Karlsruhe Tritium Neutrino (KATRIN) experiment is designed to measure the effective electron antineutrino mass with a sensitivity better than mν<0.3eV (90%CL) using precision electron spectroscopy of tritium β-decay. This determination occurs in the spectral endpoint (E0) region, up to some 10eV below E0≈18.6keV.
Light neutral pseudoscalars and vector bosons arise in many theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM). High-statistics β-spectroscopy with KATRIN is a complementary probe for these new physics theories regarding coupling strengths of bosons to neutrinos or electrons.
We consider different scenarios of the emission of additional bosons with characteristic signatures in the shape of the β-spectrum, described in JHEP 01 (2019) 206. We present the sensitivity estimates of the second measurement campaign (4×106 electrons in the analysis range of [−40,+130]eV around E0) to such light boson couplings.

description: Mitigating urban heat is a vital ecosystem services of urban trees, especially within a warming climate. Land surface temperature measures captured at a single time of day (in the morning) dominate the urban heat island literature. Less is known about how local tree canopy and impervious surface regulate air temperature throughout the day, and/or across many days with varied weather conditions, including cloud cover. We use bike-mounted air temperature sensors in New Haven, CT, from 2019 – 2021 and generalized additive mixed models across 156 rides to estimate the daily variation in cooling benefits associated with tree canopy cover, as well as warming from impervious surface cover. The cooling benefits from tree canopy cover were strongest in the mid-day (11:00-14:00, -1.62°C), afternoon (14:00-17:00, -1.19°C), and morning (8:00-11:00, -1.15°C) on clear days. The cooling effect was comparatively smaller on cloudy mornings -0.92°C and afternoons -0.51°C. Under cloudy conditions the role of trees’ shading is diminished, yet there was significant cooling, highlighting the unique contribution of evapotranspiration. The warming disservice of impervious surfaces were most pronounced in the evening (17:00-20:00, 1.11°C) on clear and cloudy rides, and during cloudy nights (20:00-23:00) and cloudy mornings 1.03C [1.03, 1.04]. Among the hottest observed days, tree canopy was associated with lower temperatures on clear afternoons -1.78C [-1.78, -1.78], cloudy mid-day -1.17C [-1.19, -1.15], clear mid-day -1.12C [-1.12, -1.11]. Future mobile sampling campaigns may broaden the spatial extent and include more sources of environmental variation, and represent an exciting opportunity for pubic science and engagement.

description: Although it is generally agreed upon that the hydrology of river valleys plays an important role in shaping the composition and structure of riparian ecosystems, relevant hydrologic drivers are difficult to measure across broad regions and often inadequately specified in riparian studies. In this paper, we describe an empirical-statistical method using map-based models to predict the composition of riparian forests along the major rivers of Lower Michigan. Our approach, based on regional climate as well as both local and catchment-scale hydrology and physiography, accounted for between 84% and 99% of the observed classification probability for five riparian ecotypes at 94 locations. Using parameters from our models, we combined map-based estimates of groundwater flux and flood dynamics with climatic indices to extrapolate and map initial predictions of riparian character throughout much of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Although our ability to account for long-term variation under specific hydrologic conditions was relatively poor, we nonetheless were able to distinguish and characterize riparian conditions with an overall predictive accuracy of 84%. Although climate and hydrology are not the only determinants of riparian conditions, our results suggest that the interactions of groundwater supply and flood dynamics, as described by our spatial predictions, drive a significant portion of the spatial variation in riparian ecosystem character. The results also suggest strong variation in the relative and spatial scales of hydrologic determinants leading to specific riparian ecotypes. Models that provide insight into factors controlling diversity in riparian composition, structure, and function, also provide a context for understanding riparian contributions to in-stream habitat and water quality studies.

description: Biological diversity (biodiversity) is the number of organisms and their distribution within the ecosphere(Earth). Conservingbiodiversity hasbecome amajorissue inthe conservation and management of Earth's natural resources (Noss and Cooperrider 1994). However, studies of biodiversityhave focusedprimarily on the variety of species Withina given area. In total,biodiversity depends on the diversity of ecosystems within a landscape as well. Thus, bothorganism diversity and landscape diversity are needed for aholistie view of biodiversity (Rowe 1992). Landscape ecosystems are volumetric, structured segments of the Earth. The • eeosphere is the largest ecosystem we know, and the Earth can be subdivided into a . hierarchical series of ecosystems from large,to small --- from global to local (Rowe 1992; Bailey 1996;Barnes et al. 1998, 34-40). A perceptible ecosystem is a topographic unit, a volume of land and air plus organic contents, extending over a particular part of the Earth's surface for a certain time (Rowe 1961). Therefore, in this chapter we focus on ecosystem diversity, defined as the number, kind, and pattern of landscape and waterscape ecosystems in a specified area and the ecological processes that are associated with these patterns (Lapin and Barnes 1995). One can then characterize eeosysterns as to their composition, structure, and function -- the attributes Of diversity (Crow et al. 1994). Our objectives are to: (1) provide an example of a landscape ecosystem approach to characterizing ecosystem diversity in riparian areas by presenting a ease study, (2) consider the importance of riparian areas toregional ecosystem diversity, and (3) examine and summarize management practices that conserve diversity in riparian areas.

description: Hydro-Morphological Processes (HMP, any natural phenomenon contained within the spectrum defined between debris flows and flash floods) are most likely to occur in small catchments, especially buffer zones along or near rivers. Rivers transfer matter and energy between hydrographic units, thus potentially affecting the occurrence of HMPs in nearby catchments. To date, previous HMP susceptibility studies based on data-driven modeling lacked taking into account these interactions between catchments. In this work, we fully considered the role played by river topology and developed a Topology-based HMP susceptibility model (Topo-HMPSM) to emulate the interactions between catchments and predict the susceptibility of HMPs for the Yangtze River Basin during 1985–2015. Results confirmed that our proposed model outperforms four selected baseline models with the best F1-score (mean = 0.744, best = 0.756) and relatively lower uncertainties. A graph-based deep neural network improves the predictive and interpretability of HMP susceptibility modeling using embedding learning techniques. This work attempts to set a standard for incorporating river topology into deep learning models. Our findings highlight the importance of river topology in predicting HMP and support better informed hazard mitigation strategies.

description: Watershed analyses of nutrient removal in riparian buffers have been limited by the geographic methods used to map buffers and by the statistical models used to test and quantify buffer effects on stream nutrient levels. We combined geographic methods that account for buffer prevalence along flow paths connecting croplands to streams with improved statistical models to test for buffer effects on stream nitrate concentrations from 321 tributary watersheds to the Chesapeake Bay, USA. We developed statistical models that predict stream nitrate concentration from watershed land cover and physiographic province. We used information theoretic methods (AICc) to compare models with and without buffer terms, and we demonstrate that models accounting for riparian buffers better explain stream nitrate concentrations than models using only land cover proportions. We analyzed the buffer model parameters to quantify differences within and among physiographic provinces in the potentials for nitrate loss from croplands and nitrate removal in buffers. On average, buffers in Coastal Plain study watersheds had a higher relative nitrate removal potential (95% of the inputs from cropland) than Piedmont buffers (35% of inputs). Buffers in Appalachian Mountain study watersheds were intermediate (retaining 39% of cropland inputs), but that percentage was uncertain. The absolute potential to reduce nitrate concentration was highest in the Piedmont study watersheds because of higher nitrate inputs from cropland. Model predictions for the study watersheds provided estimates of nitrate removals achieved with the existing cropland and buffer distributions. Compared to expected nitrate concentrations if buffers were removed, current buffers reduced average nitrate concentrations by 0.73 mg N/L (50% of their inputs from cropland) in the Coastal Plain study watersheds, 0.40 mg N/L (11%) in the Piedmont, and 0.08 mg N/L (5%) in the Appalachian Mountains. Restoration to close all buffer gaps downhill from croplands would further reduce nitrate concentrations by 0.66 mg N/L, 0.83 mg N/L, and 0.51 mg N/L, respectively, in the Coastal Plain, Piedmont, and Appalachian Mountain study watersheds. Aggregate nitrate removal by riparian buffers was less than suggested by many studies of field-to-stream transects, but buffer nitrate removal is significant, and restoration could achieve substantial additional removal.

description: Riparian ecosystems are interfaces between aquatic and terrestrial environments recognized for their nutrient interception potential in agricultural landscapes. Stream network maps from a broad range of map resolutions have been employed in watershed studies of riparian areas. However, map resolution may affect important attributes of riparian buffers, such as the connectivity between source lands and small stream channels missing in coarse resolution maps. We sought to understand the influence of changing stream map resolution on measures of the river network, near-stream land cover, and riparian metrics. Our objectives were: (1) to evaluate the influence of stream map resolution on measures of the stream network, the character and extent of near-stream zones, and riparian metrics; (2) to compare patterns of variation among different physiographic provinces; and (3) to explore how predictions of nutrient retention potential might be affected by the resolution of a stream map. We found that using fine resolution stream maps significantly increased our estimates of stream order, drainage density, and the proportion of watershed area occurring near a stream. Increasing stream map resolution reduced the mean distance to source areas as well as mean buffer width and increased the frequency of buffer gaps. Measures of percent land cover within 100 m of streams were less sensitive to stream map resolution. Overall, increasing stream map resolution led to reduced estimates of nutrient retention potential in riparian buffers. In some watersheds, switching from a coarse resolution to a fine resolution stream map completely changed our perception of a stream network from well buffered to largely unbuffered. Because previous, broad-scale analyses of riparian buffers used coarse-resolution stream maps, those studies may have overestimated landscape-level buffer prevalence and effectiveness. We present a case study of three watersheds to demonstrate that interactions among stream map resolution and land cover patterns make a dramatic difference in the perceived ability of riparian buffers to ameliorate effects of agricultural activities across whole watersheds. Moreover, stream map resolution affects inferences about whether retention occurs in streams or riparian zones.

description: Cuffney and Qian (2013) performed numerous simulations to demonstrate potential flaws in Threshold Indicator Taxa Analysis (TITAN), a method for interpreting taxon contributions to community change along novel environmental gradients. Based on their simulations, they concluded that: 1) TITAN is not an effective method for detecting different types of statistical thresholds in trend lines, 2) permutation results in highly significant p-values even for splits that are not thresholds, and 3) coincident change points may arise as an artifact of inaccuracies, imprecision, and systematic bias in both change-point estimation and TITAN’s bootstrap. The critique raises some important concerns, but because of significant misunderstanding, it is based on analyses that violate basic assumptions of both TITAN and indicator species analysis (IndVal), and thus, constitutes a straw man that cannot be used to evaluate their performance. We demonstrate that the critique: 1) fundamentally misrepresents TITAN’s primary goals; 2) simulates taxon abundances based on unrealistic statistical models that fail to represent important empirical patterns present in Cuffney and Qian’s own published data sets (i.e., negative binomial distributions, frequent absences a function of the predictor); 3) tests TITAN’s ability to identify breaks in trend lines distorted by log-transformation that do not match the greatest change in the simulated response, leading to misinterpretation of expected and previously documented behavior by TITAN as errors; 4) misinterprets TITAN’s use of p-values while ignoring diagnostic indices of purity and reliability for identifying robust indicator taxa; and 5) asserts that bootstrapped change-point quantiles in TITAN are too narrow despite published results to the contrary. Last, in contrast to the claim that change-point synchrony may be an artifact of the technique, we show that: 6) analysis of published data using completely independent methods (i.e., scatterplots of abundance data or generalized additive models) also reveals synchrony in the nonlinear decline of numerous taxa in corroboration of TITAN and its underlying conceptual model. Thus, Cuffney and Qian have not identified any serious limitations of TITAN because their critique is based on misinterpretation of TITAN’s assumptions and primary objectives. However, their critique does highlight the need for clarification of the appropriate uses, potential misuses, and limitations of TITAN and other methods for ecological analysis.

description: Efforts to quantify the effects of riparian buffers on watershed nutrient discharges have been confounded by a commonly used analysis, which estimates buffer potential as the percentage of forest or wetland within a fixed distance of streams. Effective landscape metrics must instead be developed based on a clear conceptual model and quantified at the appropriate spatial scale. We develop new metrics for riparian buffers in two stages of increasing functional specificity to ask: (1) Which riparian metrics are more distinct from measures of whole watershed land cover? (2) Do functional riparian metrics provide different information than fixed-distance metrics? (3) How do these patterns vary within and among different physiographic settings? Using publicly available geographic data, we studied 503 watersheds in four different physiographic provinces of the Chesapeake Bay Drainage. In addition to traditional fixed-distance measures, we calculated mean buffer width, gap frequency, and measures of variation in buffer width using both “unconstrained” metrics and “flow-path” metrics constrained by surface topography. There were distinct patterns of relationship between watershed and near-stream land cover in each physiographic province and strong correlations with watershed land cover confounded fixed-distance metrics. Flow-path metrics were more independent of watershed land cover than either fixed-distance or unconstrained measures, but both functional metrics provided greater detail, interpretability, and flexibility than the fixed-distance approach. Potential applications of the new metrics include exploring the potential for land cover patterns to influence water quality, accounting for buffers in statistical nutrient models, quantifying spatial patterns for process-based modeling, and targeting management actions such as buffer restoration.

Conservation. Conservation status in Israel: Unknown.—IUCN: EN (2023).—Threats: Unknown.—High sensitivity to human activities.—Not considered a keystone species.—Decline status: Unknown.—High priority for conservation action.
Remarks. Both Pseudophoxinus kervillei and Pseudophoxinus libani are distributed in the Orontes basin. It is probable that P. kervillei is a synonym of P. libani based on the molecular findings given by Geiger et al. (2014). Indeed, Bariche & Freyhof (2016) treated P. kervillei as a synonym of Pseudophoxinus libani. Therefore, these situations should be clarified with detailed comparative studies.

description: We related total PCBs (t-PCBs) in white perch (Morone americana), an abundant estuarine resident that supports a valuable recreational and commercial fishery in the mid-Atlantic region, to the amount and spatial arrangement of developed land in watersheds that discharge into 14 subestuaries of Chesapeake Bay. We considered the intensity of development in watersheds using four developed land-use measures (% impervious surface, % total developed land, % high-intensity residential + commercial [%high-res/comm], and % commercial) to represent potential source areas of PCBs to the subestuaries. We further evaluated the importance of source proximity by calculating three inverse-distance weighted (IDW) metrics of development, an approach that weighted developed land near the shoreline more heavily than developed land farther away. Unweighted percentages of each of the four measures of developed land explained 51?69% of the variance in t-PCBs. However, IDWs markedly improved the relationships between % developed land measures and t-PCBs. Percent commercial land, weighted by its simple inverse distance, explained 99% of the variance in t-PCBs, whereas the other three measures explained as much as 93?97%. PCBs historically produced or used in commercial and residential areas are apparently persisting in the environment at the scale of the watersheds and subestuaries examined in this study, and developed land close to the subestuary has the greatest unit effect on t-PCBs in fish. These findings provide compelling evidence for a strikingly strong linkage between watershed land use and t-PCBs in white perch, and this relationship may prove useful for identifying unsampled subestuaries with a high risk of PCB contamination.
