Gastrotheca nicefori

description: Gastrotheca nicefori Gaige, 1933
Holotype: UMMZ 73242.
Type locality: Pensilvania, Departamento Caldas, Colombia.
Distribution: Region 1. Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela. In Venezuela, distributed throughout the Cordillera de Mérida. Very likely present in Sierra de Perijá.
Remarks: Duellman (1989b) synonymized Gastrotheca yacambuensis Yústiz, 1976 with G. nicefori, without explanation. La Marca (1992) recognized the synonymy, but Barrio-Amorós (1998, 2004, 2009) was reluctant to do so as it was done without providing any comparison. Duellman (2015) presented arguments for the synonymy (see below), but molecular evidence (Castroviejo et al. 2015) indicated G. yacambuensis could be a valid species, different from G. nicefori. Further evidence is necessary to assess this issue adequately. The species is included in the subgenus Duellmania (Duellman 2015) and in the Gastrotheca marsupiata species group sensu Castroviejo-Fisher et al. (2015).

Gastrotheca ovifera

description: Gastrotheca ovifera (Lichtenstein and Weinland 1854) *
Holotype: ZMB 3073.
Type locality: Puerto Cabello, Carabobo, Venezuela.
Distribution: Region 2. Cordillera de la Costa in states Aragua, Cojedes, Miranda, Distrito Federal, Carabobo, and Yaracuy, 890– 2,060 m asl.
Remarks: Reported from the Delta of the Orinoco River (MHNLS 2942) by Valera-Leal et al. (2011) without further comment; but current authors believe this is an error as no Gastrotheca specimen has ever been reported from that area. Included in subgenus Opisthodelphys (Duellman 2015) or in Gastrotheca marsupiata species group sensu Castroviejo-Fisher et al. (2015). Despite a 646 man-hour effort, Valera-Leal et al. (2011) failed to locate any surviving population in the Henri Pittier National Park in 2006–2007. Barrio-Amorós (1998) reported it very abundant at Galipán in March 1997, while CBA has heard the species in Cerro Volcán, Caracas, Miranda, as recently as 2009.

Holotype: UMMZ 117177.
Type locality: “ From between the Estación Biológica Rancho Grande and Paso Portachuelo, Estado de Aragua, Venezuela,” 1,100 m.
Distribution: Region 2. Cordillera de la Costa in states Aragua, Cojedes, D.F., Carabobo, and Yaracuy.
Remarks: Duellman (2015) stated that no call is associated to this species, but the current authors find it commonly heard from high bromeliads in Coastal cloud forest (e.g., in Rancho Grande, Estado Aragua; see Barrio-Amorós 2006c). In Gastrotheca longipes species group sensu Castroviejo-Fisher et al. (2015) or in subgenus Cryptotheca by Duellman (2015).

Gastrotheca williamsoni

description: Gastrotheca williamsoni Gaige, 1922 *
Holotype: UMMZ 55559.
Type locality: San Esteban, Carabobo, Venezuela.
Distribution: Region 2. Known only from type locality.
Remarks: Not collected since original description. Either extremely rare, or extinct, or Gastrotheca walkeri could be a junior synonym. A review of this species is needed to clarify its taxonomy and conservation status. Duellman (2015) distinguished G. williamsoni from G. walkeri based on four morphological characters (absence of supraciliary processes ― vs present in walkeri ―, fingers ½ webbed ― vs ¼ webbed in walkeri ―, first finger longer than second ― shorter in walkeri ―, and granular tympanic annulus ― smooth in walkeri. The only known locality of G. williamsoni lies within the distribution of G. walkeri, and no additional specimen obtained for almost a century. As both species share a unique character among marsupial frogs (paired retroperitoneal brood pouches), have overlapping geographic distributions, and only differ in morphological traits prone to preservation artifacts, makes us doubt the validity of G. walkeri; assessing their taxonomic status requires further investigation. Included in subgenus Cryptotheca by Duellman (2015) or in Gastrotheca longipes species group sensu Castroviejo-Fisher et al. (2015).

Holotype: MBUCO 6015.
Type locality: “ Quebrada El Cedral, Parque Nacional Yacambú, ladera Sur de Sierra Portuguesa, Estado Lara, Venezuela, 1,700 m.”
Distribution: Region 1. Parque Nacional Yacambú, Lara State, and probably all Cordillera de Mérida in the Venezuelan Andes.
Remarks: Duellman (1989b) synonymized Gastrotheca yacambuensis with G. nicefori without providing any argument. Barrio-Amorós (1998, 2004, 2013) and Barrio-Amorós et al. (2009) did not follow the synonymy, waiting for additional evidence. Duellman (2015) compared overall external similarities among names he synonymized (Duellman 1989b) to support his previous statement. Castroviejo et al. (2015) showed that topotypical specimens of G. nicefori are significantly different genetically from specimens from the Venezuelan Andes; so, G. yacambuensis could be the name for populations previously referred to G. nicefori in the Venezuelan Andes. The current authors consider G. yacambuensis as a valid species, at least for central Andean populations, while awaiting a comprehensive review of the Andean populations of Gastrotheca nicefori.

description: Understanding the strategies used by bacteria to degrade polysaccharides constitutes an invaluable tool for biotechnological applications. Bacteria are major mediators of polysaccharide degradation in nature, however the complex mechanisms used to detect, degrade, and consume these substrates are not well understood, especially for recalcitrant polysaccharides such as chitin. It has been previously shown that the model bacterial saprophyte Cellvibrio japonicus is able to catabolize chitin, but little is known about the enzymatic machinery underlying this capability. Previous analyses of the C. japonicus genome and proteome indicated the presence of four family 18 Glycoside Hydrolase (GH18) enzymes, and studies of the proteome indicated that all are involved in chitin utilization. Using a combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches, we have studied the roles of these four chitinases in chitin bioconversion. Genetic analyses showed that only the chi18D gene product is essential for the degradation of chitin substrates. Biochemical characterization of the four enzymes showed functional differences and synergistic effects during chitin degradation, indicating non-redundant roles in the cell. Transcriptomic studies revealed complex regulation of the chitin degradation machinery of C. japonicus and confirmed the importance of CjChi18D and CjLPMO10A, a previously characterized chitin-active enzyme. With this systems biology approach, we deciphered the physiological relevance of the GH18 enzymes for chitin degradation in C. japonicus, and the combination of in vitro and in vivo approaches provided a comprehensive understanding of the initial stages of chitin degradation by this bacterium.

Type locality: “ Summit of Cerro Autana (Wahari Kuaway), near the north ridge (4°52’N, 67°27’W), 1,250 m elevation, Municipio Atures, Estado Amazonas, Venezuela.”
Distribution: Region 5. Endemic to Autana, a tepui in Estado Amazonas.
Remarks: Not seen during two expeditions to the top of Autana after the collection of the only known specimen in 1971. Autana has an extremely small surface of 1. 9 km 2, so this is one of the most geographically restricted frog species in the world. However, it is only DD by IUCN (Stuart 2006) and Rodríguez and Rojas-Suárez (2008) keep it under IUCN category VU/D2; it is not even mentioned in the last edition of the Venezuelan Red Book (Rodriguez et al. 2015). We argue that the species (known from a single specimen, not seen during two expeditions with herpetologists in 1972 and 2001, and restricted to an area of 1. 9 km 2) should be classified CR B2a.

Abstract 
Although several biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs), including interleukin (IL)-17A inhibitors, are approved for psoriatic arthritis, the treatment of this disease remains suboptimal. Bimekizumab (Bimzelx®), a dual IL-17A and IL-17F inhibitor, is approved in the EU, Great Britain and Japan for the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. In pivotal phase 3 clinical trials in patients who were bDMARD-naïve or previously had an inadequate response or intolerance to tumour necrosis factor (TNF) α inhibitors, bimekizumab improved the signs and symptoms of psoriatic arthritis across a range of joint, skin, radiographic and patient-reported outcomes compared with placebo, including the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% response in the American College of Rheumatology criteria. Phase 2 clinical trial data have shown that responses are maintained up to 3 years. Bimekizumab was generally well tolerated in patients with psoriatic arthritis, with a safety profile consistent with that in other approved indications. The most common adverse events included nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, oral candidiasis, headache and diarrhoea. In conclusion, bimekizumab extends the treatment options available to patients with psoriatic arthritis.

description: Computer games can be approached as musical forms. Considered in this light, they operate at a number of scales that are typically considered hierarchically distinct, functioning at once as instrument, composition, notation, robotic musician(s), and ecosystem or ‘total music space’. The totalizing image is central, as the marriage of musics with games presents us with the possibility of composing works as ‘total artworks’, operatic toys assembled from a diverse set of interactive and deterministic algorithmic components. This understanding of games is grounded in the concept of affordances as drawn from ecological psychology and explicitly contrasted with the totalizing psycho-social economism implied by game theory’s rational agents. The purpose of this chapter is to attempt a description of computer games in such a way as to aid in conceptualizing a pluralistic ecological ‘totality’ vis-a-vis the computer game medium’s essential musicality.

description: Reservations about Muslims and their religion have been entrenched in Germany for many years. The Religion Monitor shows that a majority of the population (52%) see Islam as a threat. This proportion has remained high for ten years.

Anti-Muslim reservations are usually linked to negative images that people associate with Islam or Muslims. This raises the question of which prejudices about Islam and the Muslim population are widespread in Germany - and how these affect everyday life together.

In this study of the Religion Monitor 2023, we have therefore firstly examined a broad spectrum of prejudices that can be directed against Islam as a religion on the one hand and against specific people, i.e. Muslims or people perceived as such, on the other.

Secondly, we analyzed behavioral intentions, as this dimension of action is particularly relevant with regard to discrimination and participation. It is also crucial to what extent prejudices translate into discriminatory intentions to act; we therefore also looked at the connections between prejudices and intentions to act.

Thirdly, a solution-oriented perspective was a central concern for us, which is why we also recorded the extent to which differentiated knowledge about Muslim life in Germany is available. Based on an in-depth analysis of the relationships between all three dimensions, we are able to demonstrate the extent to which this knowledge can be effective against prejudice and discrimination.

One core result, which is cautiously optimistic, should be anticipated here: In addition to widespread anti-Muslim prejudice, there is also a differentiated view of Muslim life in Germany among broad sections of the population.

Holotype: MCZ 64373.
Type locality: “ La Escalera, road between El Dorado and Sta. Elena de Uairén, around 1,200 m, Edo. Bolívar, Venezuela.”
Distribution: Region 5. Widespread in uplands of eastern Estado Bolívar.
Remarks: Stefania evansi was considered part of the Venezuelan batrachofauna after S. scalae was synonymized with S. evansi by Duellman and Hoogmoed (1984). MacCulloch and Lathrop (2002) found further evidence to distinguish between S. evansi and S. scalae. Barrio-Amoros and Fuentes (2003) pointed out, after the resurrection of S. scalae by Señaris et al. (1997), that there is no record of S. evansi from Venezuela, although its presence is likely.

Remarks: We follow Duellman’s et al. (2016) recent revision, where Phyllomedusinae was raised to family level (Phyllomedusidae, see below). Five subfamilies are considered under the family rank in Venezuela: Cophomantinae, Dendropsophinae, Lophyohylinae, Pseudinae, and Scinaxinae. Dubois (2017) argues that Boana Gray, 1825 has priority over Hypsiboas.

However, based on molecular evidence, Rojas-Runjaic et al. (2018), synonymized Colomascirtus with Hyloscirtus.

description: Genus Boana Gray, 1825
Type species: Rana boans Linnaeus, 1758, by monotypy. Coined as subgenus of Hyla according to Dubois (2017).
Remarks: Faivovich et al. (2005) assigned Centrolenella pulidoi Rivero, 1968 to the Boana benitezi group. We agree that description of holotype corresponds to a juvenile B. benitezi. Faivovich et al. (2005) examined the holotype (MCZ 72499) but was not sure if it was an adult female or a juvenile. According to our combined field experience, only juveniles of the B. benitezi group (B. benitezi, B. lemai, and B. tepuianus at least) have reddish eyes, as Rivero (1968) reported in pulidoi. In Cerro Duida the only known species of the Boana benitezi group is B. benitezi. We here consider Centrolenella pulidoi Rivero, 1968 (recognized currently as Boana pulidoi by Frost 2018) as a junior synonym of Hyla benitezi (Rivero 1961), as Boana benitezi. Recently Dubois (2017) defended the use of Boana for the clade preoccupied by Hypsiboas, arguing nomenclatural precedence.

Boana alemani

description: Boana alemani (Rivero 1964) *
Holotype: MHNLS 238.
Type locality: Cagua, Estado Aragua, Venezuela.
Distribution: Regions 1, 2. Cagua (Aragua State) Kunana, Sierra de Perija (Zulia State), and Hato Los Arrecifes (Guárico State); Cojedes and Falcón States.
Remarks: Currently in Boana punctata species group (Faivovich et al. 2005). After original description no other specimens have been assigned with accuracy to this taxon. Taxonomic status unclear since the species description was based on two old and poorly preserved specimens from disparate bioregions (holotype from Cagua in Cordillera de La Costa, and paratype from Kunana in Sierra de Perijá) and probably not conspecific. Rivero (1964) said this species is narrowly related to Hyla granosa (= Boana cinerascens) and recognized that the two species only can be differentiated by the dorsal spots and the inclination of the loreal region. La Marca (1992) said B. alemani and B. punctata are probably synonyms, but B. punctata is not known from extreme northern Venezuela. Juveniles of B. xerophylla and H. pugnax are also green and somewhat similar to B. punctata. Based on a preliminary examination of the type series (by FRR) we also suspect B. alemani could be conspecific with B. punctata, and the paratype (MHNLS 187) could be a juvenile B. xerophylla. Specimens assigned to B. alemani MHNLS 150 (also from Kunana) and MHNLS 407 (from Caracas) probably also correspond to juvenile B. xerophylla. We provisionally consider this name valid, but its taxonomic status should be confirmed, as well as the identity of additional records from Cojedes and Falcón (Manzanilla et al. 2000), Guárico (Camargo et al. 2014), and the tadpole description (Mijares-Urrutia 1992).

EW Baryogenesis through varying Yukawas in Composite Higgs models

Year: 2018

description: Seminar, Heidelberg, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 16 Feb 2018 - 16 Feb 2018
description: Varying Yukawas open new possibilities for electroweak baryogenesis. In this talk I will start by introducing varying Yukawas as a source of CP-violation and explain how baryogenesis can be successful in this framework. I will then present a realization of this paradigm in Composite Higgs models with partial compositeness. Composite Higgs models are, apart from the usual benefits, particularly compelling for this scenario as they feature an intimate link between flavour and Higgs physics. We will see that baryogenesis can be successful in these models if the confinement phase transition happens at the same time as the electroweak phase transition. I will identify regions in parameter space where this is fulfilled and I will compute the baryon yield of those models.

Boana boans

description: Boana boans (Linnaeus 1758)
Lectotype: ZIUU 27; designated by implication (Mertens 1940).
Type locality: “America.”
Distribution: Regions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Widely distributed in northern South America, in the Darien and Chocó Regions, and Magdalena, Orinoco, and Amazon Basins (Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brazil, Guianas, and Trinidad). Common riparian element in the lowlands of southern Venezuela (Amazonas, Bolívar, and Delta Amacuro to as far north as Península de Paria). Also, in the eastern piedmont of the Venezuelan Andes (Barinas and Táchira).
Remarks: The Andean piedmont population (Barrio-Amorós 1999g, 2001a) is continuous from the eastern versant of the Cordillera Oriental de Colombia and thus from the Upper Amazon, fitting the Amazonian distribution pattern for western Venezuela suggested by Barrio-Amorós (1998). However, the Barinas and Táchira populations are much smaller and with a different pattern from those from the south of the Orinoco. Chacón-Ortiz et al. (2005) probably confused by such difference, reported B. rosenbergi, a Central American and Chocoan species, from Táchira State, and the same specimens mentioned by Chacón-Ortiz et al. (2005) were previously reported correctly as B. boans (Barrio-Amorós 1999, 2001a). Specimens from throughout the whole species distribution should be compared using molecular and bioacoustic data, as they may be a species complex. In the Boana semilineata species group (Faivovich et al. 2005). Some specimens are still confused in collections with the very similar B. wavrini (Hoogmoed 1990b).
