Scotonycteris bergmansi Hassanin, Khouider, Gembu, Goodman, Kadjo, Nesi, Pourrut, Nakouné & Bonillo, 2015: 206.
* Scotonycteris zenkeri Matschie, 1894: 202.
Hassanin et al. (2015) reviewed the Scotonycterini tribe, which contained four species: Scotonycteris zenkeri Matschie, 1894, Casinycteris argynnis Thomas, 1910, C. campomaanensis Hassanin, 2014, and C. ophiodon (Pohle, 1943). Their analyses of cytochrome b and nuclear DNA revealed that S. zenkeri should be split up into four clades representing three species: the extralimital (to CRB) S. zenkeri and S. occidentalis Hayman, 1947, and S. bergmansi Hassanin et al., 2015 occurring in the rainforests of Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Republic of Congo, southern Central African Republic, and eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Hassanin et al. (2015) also found sufficient differences between the population from the western part of the distribution area (Gabon to Central African Republic) and the eastern part of the DRC to recognize two subspecies: the western S. b. bergmansi and the eastern S. b. congoensis Hassanin et al., 2015.
Hayman et al. (1966: 21) reported this species (as S. zenkeri) from Beni and Kiloboze (with the erroneous number RMCA 3145), in the extreme eastern part of the DRC. The new records extend the occurrence of the species much more to the west, up to the region around Boende in Tshuapa Province. Kipalu (2009) reported a specimen of S. zenkeri from near Mbanza-Ngungu (Kongo Central Province), but no details were given on voucher specimens.

* Rousettus (Stenonycteris) lanosus Thomas, 1906.
The separation of Stenonycteris from Rousettus was already suggested by Leche (1921) and Kingdon (1974) [in Bergmans (1994: 111)], but was only proven by genetic sequence analyses (Juste B. et al. 1999; Almeida et al. 2011; Nesi et al. 2012). Using cytochrome b sequences, Nesi et al. (2012) found that the genus Rousettus was paraphyletic, and that Stenonycteris should be considered as a separate genus, even constituting its own tribe: Stenonycterini.
Hayman et al. (1966: 20, map 18) reported this species from the Kivu Province in the eastern part of the DRC. The additional specimens reported here are also mainly from the Nord- and Sud-Kivu Provinces, with extensions into Rwanda and Burundi. The only outlier is RMCA 36250 from Tshibasha, near Kananga (Kasaï-Central Province). The SDM map shows that this specimen is the westernmost representative of the species, but it also shows that the distribution is rather patchy to the east too, with a cluster of specimens in Kenya, and some dispersed records in Tanzania and Ethiopia.

description: Coffee is the most popular beverage after water in the world, which has an important role in health as a result of various minerals and vitamins but it may be pollution source of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) that can threate the health. Thus, the current study intended to detect the level of PTEs such as Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Znc (Zn) and Iron (Fe), in various coffee and coffee-based products (powder, ground, processed, infusion and bean). Considering the databases of Scopus, Google scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science, the concentration of PTEs in coffee and coffee-based products was retrieved and meta-analyzed. Additionally, the non-carcinogenic risks in terms of total hazard quotient (TTHQ) were assessed using Monte Carlo simulated (MCS) model. According to the findings of 23 articles, the ranking of metal concentration in different coffees was Fe > Zn > Cu> Ni > Pb > Cd in powder, Fe > Cu > Zn> Ni in ground, Fe > Zn > Ni> Cu> Pb > Cd in processed and infusion and Fe > Zn > Ni> Cs > Pb in bean. Moreover, based on WHO regions, the highest concentrations of Cd and Pb (0.742 mg/kg) were related to the South-East Asia Region (SEARO) and European region (EURO) respectively. However, the highest concentrations of Fe (81.161 mg/kg), Zn (33.392 mg/kg), Cu (9.408 mg/kg), and Ni (18.064 mg/kg) were related to Pan American health organization (PAHO), PAHO, PAHO and Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO), respectively. On the other hand, the risk pattern was different in different countries. Moreover, consumers in some countries were not at significant non-carcinogenic risks because of ingestion of PTEs via coffee and consumption of coffee-based products.

Aulagnier (2013: 362) indicates that Asellia tridens is a desert species that occurs in the Sahara and Sahel savanna areas of northern Africa, which is quite some distance from the Kivu area in the DRC, where the 18 specimens reported here have been collected. However, the Paris museum also has a specimen from Zanzibar, which suggests that the species might occur more to the south than generally accepted.

description: Genus Doryrhina Peters, 1871
Very recently, Foley et al. (2017: 12) analysed the cytochrome b sequences of the members of the genus Hipposideros and found this for “ H. cyclops ” to be that different that they assigned this species to a separate genus: Doryrhina. This is also confirmed by the karyotype, which contains 36 chromosomes, whereas the members of the genus Hipposideros only have 32.

Hayman et al. (1966: 44–45, map 51) only mentioned specimens from the northeastern part of the DRC (provinces of Nord-Kivu, Haut-Uélé, Bas-Uélé and Tshopo). Here, we report on additional specimens from over almost the entire northern part of the DRC, and down along the Congo River to Kinshasa. The SDM map is very similar to the one presented by Fahr (2013d: 381), although we do believe that there is a connection between the populations from the DRC and those from Gabon and Cameroon (see also ACR 2016: 172).

Hipposideros abae is in the DRC only known from the extreme northeastern part of the country. Most records are from the Garamba National Park and from Aba (Haut-Uélé Province). There is one additional specimen from Digba (Bas-Uélé Province). The map provided by Happold (2013h: 372) shows a very patchy distribution from Guinea-Bissau in West Africa to northwestern Uganda. Based on climatic data, we suspect that the species might occur even further to the east through South Sudan to western Ethiopia.

Verecundia in Livy and Valerius Maximus
Creators: name: Gleeson, Tegan
Publisher: name: University of Tasmania
Year: 2024

description: This thesis considers the ways in which Livy and Valerius Maximus integrate the Roman emotion verecundia into their exemplary pasts. It asks what nuance verecundia adds to the moral and historical narratives in which it is embedded. By so doing, this thesis achieves three interwoven objectives. It deepens our understanding of how verecundia was conceptualised during the Principate; provides new interpretations of the ways in which literature explored and engaged the (exemplary) past to explore moral issues; and, consequently, reveals something of the concerns of each author within their socio-political milieu. Both Livy and Valerius Maximus extend and adapt Cicero's philosophical conceptualisation of verecundia as a moral quality that regulates appropriate behaviour. Livy's use of verecundia reflects an anxiety about ethical governance and its effect on Rome's imperial reputation, which challenges traditional understandings of Livy as a patriotic author whose history legitimises Roman hegemony. Complementary analysis of Valerius Maximus' collection of moral-didactic anecdotes (exempla) reveals the complex workings of verecundia as a social mechanism which produces 'correct' behaviour. Valerius' assertion that domestic officium et verecundia are the foundation of territorial acquisitions extends Livy's thinking as it recognises a symbiotic relationship between the behaviour of the Roman elite and their imperial endeavours. Comparison of Livy and Valerius' treatment of verecundia in episodes about women exposes how gendered assumptions about proper female conduct have distorted modern scholarship's translation and interpretation of the original Latin texts. This thesis demonstrates that verecundia was understood as a vital social, political, and cultural quality that was integral to recognisably honourable action in all spheres of life, both at home and abroad.

Hayman et al. (1966: 41, map 47) reported this species from the Garamba National Park and Faradje in Haut-Uélé Province, from Buta in Bas-Uélé Province, and from Ikengo in Equateur Province, all in the northern part of the DRC. Here, we report on additional specimens from the provinces of Ituri, Mongala, and Tshopo (also in the northern part of the DRC), Sud-Kivu, and from Thysville (=Mbanza-Ngungu) in the Kongo Central Province. Also for this species, Happold (2013i: 374) gives a patchy Pan-African distribution from Sierra Leone in West Africa to the eastern DRC. In this area it is found in closed forests, degraded areas within the lowland rainforest, coastal woodlands and coastal scrub, and mosaics of thickets and grasslands, usually (possibly always) near rivers or swamps.
Recently, Heller & Volleth (2016: 3) reported on significant differences in echolocation calls for the H. beatus specimens in the DRC and those from West Africa. They do not explicitly separate the two as different species, but they suggest this should be looked at further. If this proves to be correct, beatus might be restricted to West Africa (possibly to the DRC border area) and maximus might need to be raised to species level.

The identification of a specimen from Nagero (southern edge of the Garamba National Park, Haut-Uélé Province; RBINS 14637) as H. caffer tephrus by Hayman et al. (1966: 44) is rather strange, as this subspecies (currently considered as a separate species) occurs in Morocco and the dry sub-Saharan belt from Mauritania and Guinea to Sudan and Yemen at about 15° N (Vallo et al. 2009; Bernard & Happold 2013b: 377). Bernard & Happold (2013b: 376) assigned the specimens from the northeastern part of the DRC to H. c. nanus and those from the western part (Kongo Central Province) to H. c. angolensis (Seabra, 1898), leaving the remainder to H. c. caffer.
On the map presented by Bernard & Happold (2013b: 377), the distribution of H. caffer only covers the area around the mouth of the Congo River and the eastern part of the DRC and the western frontiers of Rwanda and Burundi. Our data indicate that the species occurs much further to the west in the northern half of the DRC. We therefore believe the distribution is much more continuous, connecting the West African populations with those from Central and eastern Africa (see also ACR 2016: 164).

description: We investigate the constraints provided by the Euclid space observatory on the physical properties of dusty star forming galaxies (DSFGs) at z>~1.5 detected in wide area sub millimetre surveys with Herschel. We adopt a physical model for the high z progenitors of spheroidal galaxies, which form the bulk of the DSFGs at z>~1.5. We improve the model by combining the output of the equations of the model with a formalism for the spectral energy distribution(SED). After optimising the SED parameters to reproduce the measured infrared luminosity function and the number counts of DSFGs, we simulated a sample of DSFGs over 100 sq deg and then applied a 5 sigma detection limit of 37 mJy at 250 microns. We estimated the redshifts from the Euclid data and then fitted the Euclid and Herschel photometry with the code CIGALE to extract the physicsl parameters. We found that 100 % of the Herschel galaxies are detected in all 4 Euclid bands above 3 sigma. For 87% of the sources the accuracy on 1+z is better than 15%. The sample comprises mostly massive log(Mstar/Msun)~10.5-12.9, highly star forming, log(SFR/Msun/yr)~1.5-4, dusty, log(Mdust/Msun)~7.5-9.9, galaxies. The measured stellar mass have a dispersion of 0.19 dex around the true value, thus showing that Euclid will provide reliable stellar mass estimates for the majority of the bright DSFGs at z>~1.5 detected by Herschel. We also explored the effect of complementing the Euclid photometry with that from Vera C. Rubin Observatory/LSST.

Hipposideros camerunensis is a very rare species, with a very scattered distribution consisting of a few specimens from Cameroon, eastern DRC, Uganda and western Kenya. Happold (2013j: 379) suggests that this disjunct distribution might lead to the possibility that the various populations might be (sub-) specifically distinct.

The first one is probably BMNH 1930.11.11.144, but the second one could not be traced, and is, therefore, not plotted on the distribution map (Fahr 2013e: 384 also indicated that this specimen needs re-examination). We did find some additional specimens from Epulu (Ituri Province) and Yalosemba (Mongala Province), which resulted in the northern distribution of the species. Fahr (2013e: 384) plotted an additional locality near Yalosemba, but south of the Congo River, which could not be traced.

description: Carbon- and Oxygen-rich stars populating the Thermally-Pulsing Asymptotic Giant Branch (TP-AGB) phase of stellar evolution are relevant contributors to the spectra of ~1 Gyr old populations. Atmosphere models for these types are uncertain, due to complex molecules and mass-loss effects. Empirical spectra are then crucial, but samples are small due to the short (~3 Myr) TP-AGB lifetime. Here we exploit the vastness of the MaNGA Stellar library MaStar (~60,000 spectra) to identify C,O-rich type stars. We define an optical colour selection with cuts of (g-r)>2 and (g-i)<1.55(g-r)-0.07, calibrated with known C- and O- rich spectra. This identifies C-,O-rich stars along clean, separated sequences. An analogue selection is found in V,R,I bands. Our equation identifies C- and O-rich spectra with predictive performance metric F1-scores of 0.72 and 0.74 (over 1), respectively. We finally identify 41 C- and 87 O-rich type AGB stars in MaStar, 5 and 49 of which do not have a SIMBAD counterpart. We also detect a sample of non-AGB, dwarf C-stars. We further design a fitting procedure to classify the spectra into broad spectral types, by using as fitting templates empirical C and O-rich spectra. We find remarkably good fits for the majority of candidates and categorise them into C- and O-rich bins following existing classifications, which correlate to effective temperature. Our selection models can be applied to large photometric surveys (e.g. Euclid, Rubin). The classified spectra will facilitate future evolutionary population synthesis models.

* Hipposideros caffer ruber (Noack, 1893).
Although longtime considered to be a subspecies of H. caffer, ruber is currently generally accepted to represent a separate species. Vallo et al. (2009: 193) recognized a number of lineages in H. ruber, which in Central Africa include two sister clades, which become sympatric in Cameroon. This suggests that more than one species is involved, but the names for these taxa have not yet been determined.
The distribution map given by Happold (2013l: 394) passes almost entirely around the DRC, except for the extreme northeastern and southeastern parts of the country. However, it does include both Rwanda and Burundi. Our data suggest that the distribution is wider in the DRC, where the species might only be missing in the central part of the country.

description: Genus Macronycteris Gray, 1866
In their very recently published study of the genus Hipposideros, Foley et al. (2017) found that the Cyt- b sequences for Hipposideros commersoni E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1813, H. cryptovalorona Goodman et al., 2016, H. gigas (Wagner, 1845) and H. vittatus (Peters, 1852) are quite different from those of the other representatives of this genus, and therefore, they resurrected the genus Macronycteris Gray, 1866. This division is also supported by the deviant karyotype, which in Hipposideros counts 32 chromosomes and 52 in species assigned to Macronycteris.

Rhinolophus gigas Wagner, 1845: 148.
* Hipposideros commersoni gigas (Wagner, 1845).
For a long time “ Hipposideros commersoni ” was considered to occur across the African continent, but McWilliam (1982: 9) found gigas to be specifically different from commersoni, which ultimately led to the restriction of the usage of the name “ Hipposideros commersoni ” for populations from Madagascar only. Happold (2013k: 385) indicates that both gigas and vittatus (or its synonym marungensis) were reported to occur sympatrically, which makes them separate species as well (see also Simmons 2005: 372, 377). Unfortunately, however, as mentioned by these two authors, this split probably makes it necessary to re-examine all material collected prior to 2005 to assess their identification.
Although Hayman et al. (1966: 44) report the two “subspecies”, they only provided a map for H. commersoni gigas (map 50), which also contained the data for the other form. The distribution map provided by Happold (2013k: 386) indicates that “ H. gigas ” primarily occurs in western Africa to the Republic of the Congo, coastal Angola and in the coastal areas around the border between Kenya and Tanzania. Furthermore, she plots a few isolated records in the eastern part of the DRC. The SDM map is fairly similar, although we connect the western African populations with those from the DRC and believe the eastern African populations represent Macronycteris vittatus rather than M. gigas.

* Hipposideros commersoni marungensis (Noack, 1887): 272.
The distribution map for “ H. vittatus ” given by Happold (2013m: 396) indicates that this species primarily occurs in southern Africa (northern Namibia, northern Botswana, Zimbabwe and southern Mozambique) and along the coast of Kenya and southern Somalia. Additionally, she plotted a few individual localities in northern Nigeria, northern Central African Republic, southwestern Angola, Tanzania and southwestern DRC. This leaves most of the territory of the DRC without any records. Based on the records we assigned to this species (see also ACR 2016) and the climatic data, we also found a strong indication that this species primarily will occur in southern Africa, but in a wider band extending to central Angola, Zambia and southern DRC. Furthermore, we expect it to occur in a narrow band along the northern frontier of the DRC, extending into southern Cameroon and coastal West Africa. However, as indicated above, the identification of these specimens might need re-assessment.

* Lavia frons frons (E. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1810).
In CRB, Lavia frons is widely distributed along the eastern part of the DRC, Rwanda and Burundi. The records from the western part of the DRC are more patchy and were all previously reported by Hayman et al. (1966: 37, map 35). Its Pan-African distribution stretches in a band between 15° N and 10° S, where it occurs in the woodland savanna zones from West Africa to eastern Africa, in coastal mosaic, open degraded riverine forests in the Rainforest BZ of the central Congo Basin, East African Coastal Forest Mosaic and miombo woodland. In arid areas, it is found in bush country surrounding lakes, marshes and along rivers (Happold 2013o: 407).

description: The functioning of the Schengen area and, more broadly, of European external borders, have been under considerable strain due to increased migration flows, the COVID-19 pandemic and security threats. These developments have tested Member States’ and EU agencies’ compliance with EU rules and principles, and the viability of the EU migration, asylum and border control policies. The future is equally challenging and will be marked by the reform EU migration, asylum and border control policies, with the recent adoption of the New Pact on Migration and Asylum and the amendment of the Schengen Borders Code. The nine Articles – by Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen and William Hamilton Byrne, Violeta Moreno-Lax, Jorrit J. Rijpma and Henriet Baas, Niovi Vavoula, Věra Honusková and Enes Zaimović, Luisa Marin, Matija Kontak, Ana Kršinić and the editor, Iris Goldner Lang – contained within this Special Section, offer a contemporary and rich study of Schengen and European borders against the backdrop of recent challenges and future perspectives. They cast a new look on both the legal and political context of Schengen by discussing its infrastructure, Schengen accessions, externalisation, protection of migrants’ and asylum seekers’ rights, as well as the use of modern technologies at the EU’s external borders.

Hayman et al. (1966: 38, map 37) only report two specimens belonging to this species, one from Buluku and one from the upper Makpe River, both in the Garamba National Park, Haut-Uélé Province. Two additional specimens are from Lukolela (Mai-Ndombe Province, on the border with the Republic of Congo) and Scierie Forest (Maniema Province). Although specimens were reported from the Republic of Congo by Dowsett et al. (1991: 256), these were from the coastal province of Kioulou at quite some distance from Lukolela. Happold (2013e: 311) mentions that this species primarily occurs in the lowland rainforests, but also in dense relict and riverine forests north of the rainforest.

* Rhinolophus blasii empusa (Andersen, 1904: 378).
In the CRB region, this species is represented by a single specimen from Moba, Tanganyika Province. Happold (2013f: 312) mentions that R. blasii empusa occurs from the southern DRC to the former Transvaal (RSA). The map she presents also indicates that the Pan-African distribution for R. blasii contains three centres of gravity: one in the southern half of Africa, starting in the southern DRC and Tanzania to the northeastern part of the RSA; a second one in Ethiopia and a third north of the Sahara in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. Based on SDM data, we suspect that there might be a connection between the southern and the eastern areas, but the connection towards the Maghrabian populations doesn’t seem to be straightforward. This might warrant further investigation to confirm the specific relation between these two separate areas.
Happold (2013f: 313) also plotted a second specimen in the neighbourhood of Likasi (Haut-Katanga Province), but that specimen could not be traced.

description: Ceresium sinicum ornaticolle Pic, 1907 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the main pests of pomegranate and citrus trees. In this study, we described the complete mitochondrial genome of C. sinicum ornaticolle. The total length of the mitochondrial genome was 15,817 bp, and the entire content of GC was 27.8%. The genome encoded 2 ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), and 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs). The phylogenetic tree showed that C. sinicum ornaticolle was clustered with Allotraeus orientalis and Zoodes fulguratus. These results will provide the genetic information for understanding the genetic evolution of C. sinicum ornaticolle and the insights to control cerambycid pests.

Rhinolophus Hildebrandti eloquens K. Andersen, 1905: 74.
* Rhinolophus hildebrandti eloquens Andersen 1905.
Although described as a subspecies of hildebrandtii, eloquens was widely accepted to represent a separate species, already beginning with Andersen (1905: 660; 1907: 31, 34), and further Allen (1939), Koopman (1975: 389), Simmons (2005: 354) and Cotterill (2013a: 323). However, some authors, such as Hayman & Hill (1971: 22), placed eloquens in R. fumigatus, whereas Kock (1969: 121) considered it a subspecies of R. aethiops (which is currently also considered a synonym of fumigatus). Cotterill (2013a: 324) indicates that eloquens can be distinguished from either fumigatus and hildebrandtii by its size, but the dimensions show a considerable overlap (see key).
The map presented by Cotterill (2013a: 324) shows a very restricted distribution in eastern Africa, with occurrences in Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Rwanda and extreme northeastern DRC. This agrees very well with the distribution we postulate, although we believe it might also occur in southern Ethiopia.

description: The complete mitochondrial genome of the Zaomma eriococci (Ferrière, 1955) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) was obtained through next-generation sequencing, making the first reported complete mitochondrial genome of the genus Zaomma. The mitochondrial genome is 15,648 bp in length and includes 37 classical eukaryotic mitochondrial genes along with an A + T rich region. All 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) initiate with typical ATN codons. Of these, 10 PCG genes terminate with TAA, while three terminate with TAG. Additionally, there are 22 tRNA genes, ranging in size from 62 to 70 bp. The maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed based on 13 PCGs, indicates that Z. eriococci is closely related to Tassonia gloriae. This mitochondrial genome will serve as a valuable molecular resource for species identification, genetic analysis, and comparative genomic studies of Z. eriococci, contributing to the growing collection of mitochondrial genomes within the family Encyrtidae.
Towards a constructive framework for control theory

description: This work presents a framework for control theory based on constructive analysis to account for discrepancy between mathematical results and their implementation in a computer, also referred to as computational uncertainty. In control engineering, the latter is usually either neglected or considered submerged into some other type of uncertainty, such as system noise, and addressed within robust control. However, even robust control methods may be compromised when the mathematical objects involved in the respective algorithms fail to exist in exact form and subsequently fail to satisfy the required properties. For instance, in general stabilization using a control Lyapunov function, computational uncertainty may distort stability certificates or even destabilize the system despite robustness of the stabilization routine with regards to system, actuator and measurement noise. In fact, battling numerical problems in practical implementation of controllers is common among control engineers. Such observations indicate that computational uncertainty should indeed be addressed explicitly in controller synthesis and system analysis. The major contribution here is a fairly general framework for proof techniques in analysis and synthesis of control systems based on constructive analysis which explicitly states that every computation be doable only up to a finite precision thus accounting for computational uncertainty. A series of previous works is overviewed, including constructive system stability and stabilization, approximate optimal controls, eigenvalue problems, Caratheodory trajectories, measurable selectors. Additionally, a new constructive version of the Danskin's theorem, which is crucial in adversarial defense, is presented.
