Minycardita

description: Minycardita Hoare & Plas, 2003
Type species. Minycardita sectilis Hoare & Plas, 2003, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Minycardita is unique among members of Pseudobigaleaidae in having an elongate, swollen main body chamber, sub-circular in dorsal view, that is bordered by weak primary carinae (the two ridges from the apex to the postero-lateral edges on both sides of the shell).
Remarks. Classification within the Pseudobigaleaidae at the genus and species level can be difficult because the representative genera (Hadropipetta Hoare, Mapes, & Yancey, 2002; Baiosoma Hoare, Mapes, & Yancey, 2002; Minycardita Hoare & Plas, 2003; and Exalloschema Hoare, Mapes, & Yancey, 2002) each contain only one or two species that are themselves known from only a few well-preserved specimens. In addition, there appears to be high levels of intraspecific variation within these species [e.g., variation in relative body length, angle of primary carina, ornamentation, and connection of rostrum (tube) to posterior surface in Baiosoma pala (Hoare, Steinker, & Mapes, 1988): fig. 7-13)]. Baiosoma and Minycardita share a number of characters, including: rostral clefts (tension cracks around the base of the rostrum), the same range of concavity of posterior margin, the same relative proportion of height to length, and same chamber shape and size in side view. However, in addition to the characters listed in the diagnosis, Minycardita also differs from Baiosoma in having a denticulate ventral portion of anterior gape, ornamentation of more prominent radial ridges with less distinct comarginal growth lines, smaller and shallower concavity around posterior rostrum, smaller diameter of rostrum relative to overall height where it attaches at the posterior face, and typically more convex (versus straight) ventral surface just in front of the carina.

Remarks. The two incomplete specimens of “ Baiosoma sp.” in Hoare & Plas (2003) are herein considered to be members of M. sectilis because they share all the distinguishing character states of Minycardita listed above, are roughly the same size, were found from the same locality as the other specimens of M. sectilis, and cannot be distinguished from the holotype and paratype of M. sectilis. One specimen (Hoare & Plas 2003: fig. 1.16–18) appears to share with Baiosoma pala (Hoare, Steinker, & Mapes, 1988), the type and only described species of that genus, a straight ventral surface just anterior to the carina, different from other specimens of Minycardita. However, this specimen has a number of character states found in Minycardita but not in Baiosoma, including a swollen body chamber, distinct radial ridges, small diameter rostrum, and smaller, shallower concavity around rostrum on posterior surface of main body chamber.

Minycardita capitanensis

description: Minycardita capitanensis n. sp.
(Fig. 1)
Type material. Holotype (GUMO 15309: Fig. 1), 5.03 x 2.51 x 3.13 mm (L x W x H).
Type locality. USGS 7663, Reef Trail Member of the Bell Canyon Formation, Texas, USA, 31˚49ʹ45ʺN, 104˚52ʹ18ʺW (Late Guadalupian, Permian).
Etymology. Named for the ancient Capitan Reef where this animal had lived.
Description. Small (5.1 mm long, including rostrum); body chamber swollen but with small flat region in middle of each side, curving with strong concavity into narrow rostrum with gently converging sides (Fig. 1 C–D); primary carina rounded (Fig. 1 B); rostral face shallowly concave, smooth (Fig. 1 G); rostrum long with subcircular opening (Fig. 1 G, I), parallel to hinge line; rostrum bordered by prominent rostral clefts (Fig. 1 G, J); anterior snout much wider than rostrum, parallel-sided in dorsal view (Fig. 1 C); anterior edge of snout deflected ventrally (Fig. 1 A); anterior gape smooth-edged, tear-shaped, ventrally extending as narrowing denticulate opening into body (Fig. 1 D–F); eight costae on body, nine costae on snout; anterior portion of snout without costae; two major and numerous fine comarginal growth lines on body and snout; protoconch (Fig. 1 B) with small bulbous apex, rounded dorsally.
Differential diagnosis. Minycardita capitanensis n. sp. differs from the Wolfcampian M. sectilis, the type species and only other species in this genus, by having a more flat-sided body, greater concavity of posterior face (the region where posterior rostrum meets main body chamber), more horizontal rostrum (instead of one angled slightly downward as in M. sectilis), and greater lateral tapering of body chamber to anterior gape, seen in dorsal view.
Distribution. Only known from type locality.

description: Monophyly of Polystira
Recently a preliminary molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Turridae (s.s.) has been undertaken as part of a study to establish the major clades (families) within the Conoidea (Puillandre et al. 2011a). This study analyzed portions of three mitochondrial genes (COI, 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA) for 102 genera of conoideans. However, only a single species exemplar was used for each genus, so for the Turridae (s.s.) just eight species and genera were analyzed. Maximum likelihood analyses of the concatenated dataset indicated the Turridae to be a well-supported clade with Polystira being the sister taxon to the rest of the clade as follows: (Ptychosyrinx, (Turridrupa, (Lophiotoma, Gemmula) (Turris (Xenuroturris, Ioturris )))) (Puillandre et al. 2011a: fig 1). These relationships can only be considered to be robust for the species sampled; future analyses will require much more complete species sampling to fully establish intergeneric molecular relationships within the Turridae.
Our molecular phylogenetic analyses of the interspecific relationships of Polystira species uses the same gene fragments (COI, 12S and 16S) and reveals a strongly supported clade of Polystira to be monophyletic relative to a turrid (s.s.) outgroup comprising eight species of Gemmula, Ptychosyrin x, Turris, Xenuroturris and Unedogemmula. We discuss our analysis in ‘Current species diversity’ below.

description: The Polystira clade: Polystira and other names
Despite common use of the generic name Polystira, by ourselves included, a number of other genus-group names are nomenclaturally available for taxa within what we here call the “ Polystira clade”. Indeed, one of these names, Pleuroliria de Gregorio, 1890, has nomenclatural priority over Polystira Woodring, 1928, were these names to be considered synonymous. The Polystira clade is large enough in terms of numbers of species and conchologically diverse (=disparate) enough for future systematic subdivision to be appropriate. We are working on providing detailed hypotheses of the phylogenetic relationships within the Polystira clade based on an integrative taxonomy combining shell morphological, molecular phylogenetic and other available comparative systematic data (Rawlings et al. 2003; Todd & Rawlings 2003). Only after the type species of fossil genus-level taxa have been accommodated within a phylogenetic framework will we be able to confidently and accurately assign the available generic/subgeneric names to individual subclades within the Polystira clade.
We use the term Polystira clade because this is the most widely used genus-rank name for Recent species and because our own work has started with establishing the inter-relationships of Recent species. Currently, we are still extending our studies backwards in geological time to encompass species more usually assigned to Pleuroliria and to establish the relationship of the Polystira clade to other turrids, both living and extinct.

However, although bigger than Philippi’s dimensions for crocostoma Philippi, the shape of the shell is a better match and the shell banding pattern is an excellent match. It is possible, therefore, that this shell is a syntype of crocostoma Philippi, perhaps the illustrated specimen.

description: In most multicellular organisms, ontogenetic niche shifts modify the strength of biotic interactions, including competition as a function of the life cycle stage of the interacting individuals. However, it remains to be explored whether stage-dependence in the strength of intraspecific and interspecific competition exists in natural communities, and how stage-dependence may affect community dynamics. To address these questions, we fitted GLMs to long-term demographic data from an alpine herbaceous plant community on Mt. Baldy, Colorado, USA and developed a two-species projection model with stage-explicit competitive coefficients. Using empirically determined stage-dependent competitive coefficients and model simulations, we find evidence consistent with within-stage competition in a focal plant species and show that increased difference between the competitive effect of juveniles and adults could amplify demographic fluctuations in a life history-dependent manner. Our findings highlight that stage-dependence in competition could be important for accurately predicting community dynamics for conservation and ecosystem management.
A level set-based solver for two-phase incompressible flows: Extension to magnetic fluids

description: Development of a two-phase incompressible solver for magnetic flows in the magnetostatic case is presented. The proposed numerical toolkit couples the Navier-Stokes equations of hydrodynamics with Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism to model the behaviour of magnetic flows in the presence of a magnetic field. To this end, a rigorous implementation of a second-order two-phase solver for incompressible nonmagnetic flows is introduced first. This solver is implemented in the finite-difference framework, where a fifth-order conservative level set method is employed to capture the evolution of the interface, along with an incompressible solver based on the projection scheme to model the fluids. The solver demonstrates excellent performance even with high density ratios across the interface (Atwood number $\approx 1$), while effectively preserving the mass conservation property. Subsequently, the numerical discretization of Maxwell's equations under the magnetostatic assumption is described in detail, utilizing the vector potential formulation. The primary second-order solver for two-phase flows is extended to the case of magnetic flows, by incorporating the Lorentz force into the momentum equation, accounting for high magnetic permeability ratios across the interface. The implemented solver is then utilized for examining the deformation of ferrofluid droplets in both quiescent and shear flow regimes across various susceptibility values of the droplets. The results suggest that increasing the susceptibility value of the ferrofluid droplet can affect its deformation and rotation in low capillary regimes. In higher capillary flows, increasing the magnetic permeability jump across the interface can further lead to droplet breakup as well. The effect of this property is also investigated for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability growth in magnetic fluids.

description: Abstract:

The increasing complexity and demands of unemployment insurance (UI) systems necessitate innovative approaches to enhance decision-making (DM) and operational efficiency (OE). Business Intelligence (BI) offers potential solutions by providing data-driven insights that can transform the administration of UI. This study examines the impact of BI on UI, focusing on DM as a mediator and OE as a moderator within the Resource-Based View (RBV) theoretical framework. Using a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to analyze BI's role in improving UI systems. Findings reveal that BI significantly enhances DM capabilities, which mediates its effect on UI outcomes. Additionally, OE moderates the relationship, amplifying the positive impact of BI on UI effectiveness. These results underscore BI's strategic value in the public sector and highlight its potential to enhance UI programs' performance through investments in technology and training. Future research should explore longitudinal effects and broader applications across various public service domains.

description: Novel end-user programming (EUP) tools enable on-the-fly (i.e., spontaneous, easy, and rapid) creation of interactions with robotic systems. These tools are expected to empower users in determining system behavior, although very little is understood about how end users perceive, experience, and use these systems. In this paper, we seek to address this gap by investigating end-user experience with on-the-fly robot EUP. We trained 21 end users to use an existing on-the-fly EUP tool, asked them to create robot interactions for four scenarios, and assessed their overall experience. Our findings provide insight into how these systems should be designed to better support end-user experience with on-the-fly EUP, focusing on user interaction with an automatic program synthesizer that resolves imprecise user input, the use of multimodal inputs to express user intent, and the general process of programming a robot.

description: This study investigated the roles of psychological resilience, performance strategies, and flow state in elite equestrian three-day event riders, building on previous equestrian sport literature and bridging the gap in research about three-day eventing athletes relative to athletes in other equestrian disciplines. In order to better understand personal traits and states in athletes and individuals in high-physical-risk and sustained focus performance domains, this study examined baseline resilience levels, performance strategies used in specific competitions, and the flow state of event riders in those same competitions. The objective was to determine if performance strategies employed by elite three-day eventing athletes were related to baseline resilience and flow state characteristics, and if baseline resilience levels were related to levels of flow state within the group. Participants included 94 international level three-day eventing athletes (15 males, 78 females, 1 undisclosed; age 31.5±8.85) competing in the United States in the Spring 2021 Fédération Equestre International eventing season. Results demonstrated a modest but significant correlation (r = 0.277, P = 0.007) between baseline resilience levels (measured by the CD-RISC-10) and flow state (measured by the Flow Short Scale) for all athletes. Performance strategies were measured by the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS). Regression analyses indicated that the performance strategies subscales of emotional control and negative thinking were found to predict flow state (R2 = 0.174, F(2,74) = 7.80, P < 0.001). The sub-scales of goal setting, automaticity, emotional control, and self-talk predicted resilience (R2 = 0.382, F(4,72) = 11.13, P ≤ 0.001). No significant findings emerged between an athlete’s highest level of experience and their resilience scores (F(6,84) = 1.06, P = 0.394) or flow scores (F(6,85) = 1.37, P = 0.235). This study indicates a self-selection of riders in the elite levels of three-day eventing based on those who already demonstrate high levels of resilience as well as high propensity for experiencing flow state in competition.

Ampullaria pulchella Anton, 1838. Type material — syntypes: MTD 1147 (2 spms.). Type locality —“Strom Parana in Brasilien ” [River Parana in Brasil].
Remarks. Cowie & Thiengo (2003: 48) stated that the location of the type material and the type locality were unknown to them. In fact, a specimen identified, listed and illustrated by Schniebs (2002: 266, figs. 1a, b) as the “ holotype ” is in Dresden (MTD 1147). Its locality, as given in Anton’s handwritten inventory of his collection, is “Strom Parana in Brasilien ”. However, K. Schniebs (pers. comm. 2 February 2004) says that there were in fact three specimens in Anton’s possession. That identified as the “ holotype ” above was obtained by Anton from a Mr. Marguier and is the specimen from which Anton wrote the detailed description. A second specimen is from a Mr. Tile and is also listed as from “Parana in Brasilien ” in Anton’s handwritten catalog. A third specimen has no locality but Anton received it also from Mr. Tile. When the MTD mollusc collection was inventoried at the end of the 19th century, the third specimen was no longer present. The first two specimens were both given the MTD catalog number 1147. The identification by Schniebs (2002: 266, figs. 1a, b) of one of these as the “ holotype ” was not a valid lectotype designation (Code, Art. 74.7). Therefore, rather than a holotype and paratype, there are in fact two remaining syntypes.

Ampullaria retusa Philippi, 1851. Updated status of type material – lectotype (Köhler & Glaubrecht, 2006: 209–210): ZMB 1339. Additional type material —possible paralectotypes: MNHNCL 15936 (2 spms., old number 61.073).
Additional remarks. Cowie & Thiengo (2003: 74) listed this taxon in Pomacea as a New World ampullariid, synonymized with flagellata Say by Pain (1964: 227), but with some doubt regarding its type locality. However, the two MNHNCL specimens, of which Cowie & Thiengo were not aware, are accompanied by a single calcified operculum, which would indicate that one at least of these shells is not a species of Pomacea but of Pila, and therefore an Old World, not New World species. Unfortunately, the lectotype, which is the specimen illustrated by Philippi (1851: pl. 5, fig. 1), has no associated operculum. However, its label reads “ Ampullaria retusa v. Olfers” (possibly in Philippi’s hand), and von Olfers, to whom Philippi attributed the name, was a German diplomat in Rio de Janeiro in the early nineteenth century and is known to have collected natural history specimens in Brasil and elsewhere in South America. In the same hand, the label also reads “Rio Rapunini – Schomburgk”, and Schomburgk had led an expedition in the then British Guiana (now Guyana). Also on this label, in another hand, is written “Original zu Phil. Chemn ed rev. 5,1”, indicating that it was the specimen illustrated by Philippi (1851: pl. 5, fig. 1). This detailed labelling indicates that the lectotype is almost certainly a New World species. The locality on the lectotype label and given by Philippi (1851: 18) as “Rio Rupunin” is here taken as correct, which indicates that this species is not a synonym of flagellata Say, which is a Central American species. One (perhaps both) of the MNHNCL specimens, the label of which says “ Ampullaria retusa v. Olf.” and “Brandt” (presumably the collector), appear not to be the same species as the lectotype. Therefore, one or both of the MNHNCL specimens either 1) were not part of the type series of Philippi and were misidentified, mis-labelled or a label from a different lot became associated with them; 2) were part of the type series of Philippi but had been mixed with the ZMB specimen prior to Philippi describing the species and were taken by him to be the same species as the ZMB specimen, or 3) were part of the type series and of New World origin, and the operculum is from another specimen that was placed with them by mistake. Further research is necessary to resolve the status of the MNHNCL specimens.

description: Cognitive and affective factors have been implicated in verbal fluency (VF) performance in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This exploratory study aimed to investigate the relationships between cognitive and affective variables on traditional (“core”) and "process” (error and interval) scores of VF and elucidate unique information these scores may provide regarding mechanisms underlying VF. Sixty-two PD patients without dementia completed clinical neuropsychological examinations consisting of attention, processing speed, language, executive functioning, visuospatial, memory, and mood measures. Hierarchical regression and negative binomial regression analyses were used to evaluate relationships between outcome and predictor variables. Generativity results revealed that processing speed and working memory explained up to 34% of the variance of total letter fluency responses (p = <.001) and processing speed explained 24% of the variance for total semantic fluency (p = .003). For category switching generativity, only age predicted 20% of the variance (p = .01). Two executive functioning measures were negatively associated with error production over the duration (b = −.055, p = .028; b = −.062, p = .004) and final 45-second interval (b = −.072, p = .003; b = −.044, p = .033) of the category switching task. In the initial 15-second task interval, a positive predictive relationship between error production and indifference apathy (b = .616, p = .044) was demonstrated. Findings demonstrate the potential utility of "process” scores in detecting subtle cognitive impairment in Parkinson’s disease patients without dementia and tentatively evidence the role of indifference apathy in task initiation.
