Maxillary palps 3- segmented, segment II undivided (Fig. 15). Abdominal tergite I with two longitudinal ridges (Fig. 17), IX without tubercles and clasper, S1 setae longer than S2 (Fig. 16). Sternites II–VIII with 3 or 4 pairs of posteromarginal setae, VIII with 1 pair of discal setae laterally.
Measurements (male in microns). Body length 1424; head length 144, width 160. Pronotum length 159, width 181. Fore wing length 658, median width 94. Antennal segments I–IX length: 27, 47, 107, 93, 57, 40, 33, 12, 11.
Specimens studied. 1 female, 1 male, CHINA, Yunnan Province, Shuifu County, on flowers of Duranta repens [Verbenaceae], 19.vii.2011 (Hongrui Zhang), in collection of Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming.
Comments. This species was collected form the leaves of Castanea crenata [Fagaceae] in Japan, and it was described as the third species of Desmidothrips (Masumoto & Okajima 2019). Although the type specimens were collected from plant leaves, it was collected from flowers in China, and the feeding habits of this species are not yet certain. Dr Masumoto reconfirmed that the female type specimens of A. japonicus also have the maxillary palp segment II subdivided.

description: Brachiomya Jespersen et al., 2004
Brachiomya Jespersen, Lützen & C. Nielsen, 2004. Type species (original designation) Solecardia stigmatica (Pilsbry, 1921). Recent.
Description.
Shell small (less than 5 mm); transversely ovate; anterior end narrower than posterior end; inequilateral; hinge plate narrow; both valves with a small triangular pseudocardinal tooth beneath umbos; ligament internal, in oblique resilifer; mantle folds wrapped over most of the shell and anteriorly extended into a large inhalant-pedal siphon, posteriorly into a smaller exhalent siphon; mantle with many slender, terminally spatulate tentacles; foot elongate; gills with inner demibranch only.
Discussion.
Jespersen et al. (2004) distinguished Brachiomya from other galeommatoidean genera by the presence of extensive mid-mantle folds with many spatulate tentacles. Huber (2015) accepted Brachiomya as a monotypic genus. As Jespersen and Huber both postulated, we have found Brachiomya to group with members of the Lasaeidae. All species are likely to be obligate commensals with echinoid echinoderms.

description: In this work, we propose a minimalistic swarm flocking approach for multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Our approach allows the swarm to achieve cohesively and aligned flocking (collective motion), in a random direction, without externally provided directional information exchange (alignment control). The method relies on minimalistic sensory requirements as it uses only the relative range and bearing of swarm agents in local proximity obtained through onboard sensors on the UAV. Thus, our method is able to stabilize and control the flock of a general shape above a steep terrain without any explicit communication between swarm members. To implement proximal control in a three-dimensional manner, the Lennard-Jones potential function is used to maintain cohesiveness and avoid collisions between robots. The performance of the proposed approach was tested in real-world conditions by experiments with a team of nine UAVs. Experiments also present the usage of our approach on UAVs that are independent of external positioning systems such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). Relying only on a relative visual localization through the ultraviolet direction and ranging (UVDAR) system, previously proposed by our group, the experiments verify that our system can be applied in GNSS-denied environments. The degree achieved of alignment and cohesiveness was evaluated using the metrics of order and steady-state value.

Teop Language Documentation Project

description: Presented by Ulrike Mosel at the Language Documentation and Archiving Conference, Berlin & Online, 4-6 Sept, 2024  

This presentation shows how the documenta,on of cultural, historical, and ecological knowledge of the Teop people and corpus-based linguis,c research has successfully been combined in a collabora,ve language documenta,on project. From the very beginning of the project in 1994, a team of Teop speakers in Bougainville (Papua New Guinea) decided on the content and the form of the documentation. They did the recordings and transcriptions, wrote texts without previous recordings, edited the texts they regarded as suitable for publica,on, and translated all texts. Two Teop artists contributed drawings for the folk tales and the texts about plants, animals, and the material culture. My task was to organize the finances and the workflow in Bougainville and in Germany. For security reasons the Teop people did not want me to bring a computer un,l 2009, so that the typing of Teop texts in Word and ELAN and the compila,on of the Teop-English dictionary in Toolbox had to be done by myself and research assistants in Kiel. The total size of the in ELAN annotated Teop texts is 254 693 words; the size of the transcribed oral texts is 132 396 words and the size of edited texts 122 657 words. Both texts collections comprise folktales, texts about the history and customs of the Teop people, and descriptions of plants, animals, and the material culture. 40 edited folk tales were published in a monolingual schoolbook (2007) and 15 historical texts in a bilingual book (2014). The texts on the material culture, plants and animals have not been published yet in book form, but text excerpts and their transla,ons are found in the encyclopedic ar,cles of the digital Multifunctional Teop-English Dictionary (2019). The various genres and registers of the texts are considered in my corpus-based grammatical research for which I systematically search the in ELAN annotated texts for grammatical constructions by using Regular Expressions. Such searches do not only find data for a particular research question, but also unexpected data that contradict hypotheses and lead to new research ques,ons. The results of my recent research include: • Nouns, verbs, and adjectives are only distinguished by their optional modifiers. • The ellipsis of arguments is context dependent and not determined by grammatical rules. • Teop does not have tenses; how the described situations in a text are temporally related • Teop belongs to the rare languages that have a propositional negator.

description: Genus Pycnoscelus Scudder, 1862
Type species: Pycnoscelus obscurus Scudder, 1862 [= P. surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758)], by monotypy.
Remarks: The genus was described as monotypical, on the basis of a single specimen that Scudder (1862) believed to be a male. However, it is evident from the original description that this specimen is actually a larva. Later, P. obscurus was synonymized with P. surinamensis by Princis (1964).
Pycnoscelus surinamensis is a parthenogenetic (thelytokous) species with a worldwide distribution. The closely related P. indicus is a bisexual species distributed in South and South-East Asia (Roth, 1998). Pycnoscelus indicus is evidently most closely related to P. surinamensis. I previously considered these as parthenogenetic and bisexual forms of a single species (Anisyutkin, 2002), but meanwhile I changed my view and follow Roth (1967, 1974, 1998) in regarding them as two distinct species: P. indicus and P. surinamensis.
Species included: Those given in Beccaloni (2014) [P. aurantia Hanitsch, 1935, P. conferta Walker, 1869, P. femapterus Roth, 1998, P. gorochovi Anisyutkin, 2002, P. indicus (Fabricius, 1775), P. janetscheki Bey-Bienko, 1968, P. micropterus Hanitsch, 1931, P. nigra (Brunner von Wattenwyl, 1865), P. rothi Anisyutkin, 2002, P. semivitreus Princis, 1967, P. striatus (Kirby, 1903), P. surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758), P. tenebrigera (Walker, 1868) and P. vietnamensis Anisyutkin, 2002] plus P. schwendingeri sp. nov.

Desmidothrips walkerae Mound, 1977: 151.
Known only from New Zealand, this is one of two species with the maxillary palps 3-segmented, segment II not subdivided in females and males. Variation in some characters was discussed with the original description, including color of antennal segment III, sensorium length on segments III-IV, and the dorsal setae of male abdominal tergite IX. These differences were not considered suitable for erecting new taxa without any biological information (Mound 1977). This species was found in Hebe stricta flowers with large numbers of Thrips obscuratus, suggesting that it may be predatory (Mound & Walker 1982).

Karl Popper's assertion that disciplines do not exist, but problems do perfectly fit to the field of oral archives, a sphere in which a multitude of issues arise on various levels. It is noteworthy that employing audio or video recording for fieldwork is not confined to linguistics; rather, it is a widely adopted practice across numerous social sciences and humanities disciplines. In the domain of contemporary history, the subfield of oral history stands out as one of the biggest producers of oral data, gathered in oral archives. It has evolved over time into an independent research field, dealing with the systematic gathering of living people’s testimony about their experiences. With its dedicated academic journal and associations, oral history has become a thriving domain within historical research (Perks & Thomson, 2015; Calamai, 2023). In Italy, each discipline approaches oral archives differently, developing its own taxonomies, specific metadata sets, and diverse methods of philologic curation. In addition, analog-born oral archives demand diversified curation, particularly regarding the correlation between the original carrier and its contents (interviews, participant observations, etc.). From an archival perspective, paper materials and field diaries closely interrelate with audio documents, necessitating their inclusion in any digitization process (Calamai et al., 2022). The contribution presented here intends to discuss the digitization and revitalization efforts undertaken for an oral archive collected in the 1980s by sociologist and anthropologist Vittorio Dini (1925-2018) in a marginalized region of Central Italy (Sestino and Val Marecchia, eastern Tuscany). This area, currently experiencing significant depopulation and economic decline (Dini, 1990), was previously overlooked by dialectologists. The re-analysis of such archival data promises to enhance our comprehension of sound shifts and linguistic repertoires within the broader context of local landscapes, shedding light on how speakers implicitly or explicitly perceive linguistic changes and their connections to social changes.

Conserving and maintaining community archives can seem an insurmountable task, especially when this involves converting records that were made using obsolete or obsolescent technology into more modern formats. However, archives can contain vital knowledge that may otherwise be lost or forgotten, including information about history, governance, social norms and values, language, and knowledge of the land – such as place names. Audio recordings of Elders speaking their languages are especially important in communities where there are no longer fluent speakers. Through the TRTFN Oral Histories Project, which has focused on transcribing and translating oral histories recorded from the last several decades, we have uncovered a number of traditional Tlingit place names that, while held in the community’s collective memory, previously had not been documented. Traditional place names often provide detailed information about the relationship between the territory’s original inhabitants, and the resources available in that area. Place names are also important because they often describe the history of ongoing land use, continuing stewardship of the land, and the cultural significance of specific locations. They can also describe migration events, contact and conflict between groups, and the physical features of the landscape – including landforms, flora and fauna, minerals, climate, and how the landscape has changed over time. In this presentation, we will share findings from the TRTFN Oral Histories Project, particularly as they relate to place names and language, and we will discuss how this knowledge is being made accessible to community members through a variety of initiatives, including a digital archive and dictionary, a mobile place names app that can be used out on the land, and an updated web-based map, among other projects. This work illustrates how oral history archives and legacy collections can be vital resources for both language and cultural revitalization and place names reclamation.

The Community-Based Language Research Model is defined as “Research that is on a language, and that is conducted for, with, and by the language-speaking community within which the research takes place and which it affects” (Czaykowska-Higgins 2009) but where “by” usually refers to Indigenous community members who are working “in collaboration” with a non- Indigenous researcher rather than leading the research themselves. In this talk, I present an alternative framework, the Indigenous Language Research Model (ILRM), where research that is on a language is conducted for, with, and by the language-speaking community (but where “by” can include linguistic research led by and Indigenous community researcher), and in a manner that is relationally accountable to the language-speaking community. This model centers linguistic research around community-specific language reclamation goals, while also creating multiple opportunities for engagement, allowing researchers to identify what type(s) of linguistic research might best support language revitalization efforts in a given community. Specific examples of this approach will be illustrated from my postdoctoral research project, “The Cahuilla Pedagogical Grammar Project”.
