Remarks. The short note describing Macrobiotus echinogenitus (Richters 1904f) was followed by a more detailed description (Richters 1904b) but raised issues, discussed in Marcus (1936), leading to this species being synonymised with Macrobiotus harmsworthi and M. areolatus. The out-dated original descriptions have produced a cosmopolitan (McInnes 1994) species group. As this nominal species requires a formal taxonomic re-description, all African record need re-examination using integrated taxonomy.

Event description 

As the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) accelerates across life science research, the demand for standardised practices has become crucial to ensure transparency, reproducibility, and adherence to FAIR principles.

In response to these needs, DOME (Data Optimization Model Evaluation) has been developed as a key solution - a set of community-wide recommendations designed to guide supervised ML analysis reporting in biological studies. DOME offers broad, field-agnostic guidelines to enhance the impact of ML applications while ensuring reproducibility. This framework not only supports robust model evaluation but also serves as a valuable resource for training and capacity building in life sciences.

Record numbers. Tanzania: 1; total: 1.
Remarks. This reference is based solely on eggs, with no additional information. Macrobiotus hibiscus is possibly a junior synonym of Macrobiotus hufelandi as the morphology of this species falls within the Macrobiotus hufelandi group diagnosis (e.g. Kathman 1990). This group requires careful taxonomic analysis, including egg morphology, for correct identification (see Bertolani & Rebecchi 1993 for a diagnostic key and other papers for more recent species descriptions: e.g. Pilato et al. 2003b, Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2004c, Fontoura et al. 2008b, Bartels et al. 2009, Kaczmarek & Michalczyk 2009b, Guidetti et al. 2013). A few additional species from the hufelandi group have been described from Africa and neighbouring islands, e.g. M. iharosi or M. madegassus Maucci, 1993. Further work on the Brazilian type material or type locale will clarify the status and biogeography of this species. The limited material from this report suggests the presence of M. hibiscus in Africa is very doubtful.

Meotica Mulsant & Rey, 1873: 174 (Type species: Meotica parasita Mulsant & Rey, 1873, by subsequent designation (Blackwelder 1952)).
Sipaliella Casey, 1911: 159 (Type species: Sipalia filaria Casey, 1911, by monotypy) (as subgenus of Sipalia Mulsant & Rey, 1853), syn. nov.
Sipaliella: Fenyes, 1920: 252 (as subgenus of Sipalia).
Sipaliella: Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz, 1926: 603 (as subgenus of Sipalia).
Sipaliella: Blackwelder, 1952: (as subgenus of Evanystes Gistel, 1856).
Sipaliella: Seevers, 1978: 129 (as valid genus in subtribe Geostibina Seevers, 1978).
Sipaliella: Ashe in Newton, Thayer, Ashe & Chandler, 2000: 371 (as valid genus in subtribe Geostibina Seevers, 1978).
Because Sipalia filaria Casey, 1911, the type species of Sipaliella, is conspecific with Meotica pallens (Redtenbacher) (see below), a species known from Europe, the name Sipaliella is here placed in synonymy with Meotica. Meotica pallens is only superficially similar to Geostiba in having small eyes and short elytra and belongs to a different tribe (Oxypodini Thomson, 1859).
Two other European species of Meotica recorded in North America are M. exilis (Knoch in Gravenhorst, 1806) (Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz 1926; Seevers 1978) and M. apicalis G.Benick, 1953 (Muona 1984). The latter record is not reflected in the recently published guide to North American staphylinids (Newton et al. 2000). Because M. exilis had been recorded in North America before the revision of Meotica was published (Muona 1991), the record requires reconfirmation.
The species of Meotica have the tarsal formula 5­5­5 and the genus appears in Key B for the aleocharine genera by Ashe (Newton et al. 2000). The entry for Sipaliella should be deleted from Key J, and the couplets 26 and 27 can be replaced by the following single couplet:

Queerly Beloved: Bridging Spaces of Christian Faith and LGBTQIA+ Identity through Creativity
Creators: name: N. Jones, Peter
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024

description: Three in ten LGBTQ+ people of faith in Britain participate at least once a month with their faith communities (Stonewall, 2018). Despite this significant proportion, the subject of sexuality, gender, and faith is still focused largely on conflict in research and the media (Browne and Nash, 2017; Parveen, 2019), with queerness, faith, and religion being continuously labelled as bad objects for each other (Seitz, 2017). This project actively pushes through these narratives, exploring the intertwined socio-spatial relationships of a queer expression of church and the sacred. Through ethnography, autoethnography, semi-structured interviews, and creative methods, this project investigates the flourishing liminal spaces of LGBTQIA+ Christian communities working with two main case studies: The Open Table Network, and St Nicholas Church, Leicester. Incorporating social science theory and theology with key geographical work, this project makes a novel contribution to the geographies of sexualities and the geographies of religion, displaying how each discipline can inform each other through the example of queer sacred space already bridging these worlds. I invite the reader to journey with me through the spaces, lives, and worlds of the queerly beloved, exploring creativity, ritual, and practice through storytelling, omnitemporality, citizenship, emotion, and embodiment. As a queer, trans, Christian and geographer, I display the use of spirituality as method. In sitting with these complex socio-political and socio-spatial relationships, what emerges is space to be amongst the mess (Law, 2004), a space to be without requiring a resolution of identity or conflict, a space of discovery and belonging within the chaos – and this chaos is holy.

Type material. Holotype,, “ R[hode].I[sland].[According to Casey Locality Code (Buchanan 1935; FitzGerald 1962) the black dot inside the upper part of the letter “R” stands for Casey farm, Boston Neck, N. Kingston]”, “ Sipaliella filaria Csy. ”, “Casey bequest 1925”, “ TYPE USNM 39031” (NMNH).

Discussion. The holotype of S. filaria completely corresponds to European specimens of M. pallens and redescription by Muona (1991). Apparently this species has been introduced from Europe.

description: Circulating plasma cells (CPCs) are defined by the presence of peripheral blood clonal plasma cells, which would contribute to the progression and dissemination of multiple myeloma (MM). An increasing number of studies have demonstrated the predictive potential of CPCs in the past few years. Therefore, there is a growing need for an updated meta-analysis to identify the specific relationship between CPCs and the prognosis of MM based on the current research status. The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were screened to determine eligible studies from inception to November 5, 2023. Publications that reported the prognostic value of CPCs in MM patients were included. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were extracted to pool the results. Subgroup analyses were performed based on region, sample size, cut-off value, detection time, initial treatment, and data type. The association between CPCs level and clinicopathological characteristics, including the International Staging System (ISS), Revised-ISS (R-ISS), and cytogenetic abnormalities were also evaluated. Statistical analyses were conducted using STATA 17.0 software. Twenty-two studies with a total of 5637 myeloma patients were enrolled in the current meta-analysis. The results indicated that myeloma patients with elevated CPCs were expected to have a poor OS (HR = 2.19, 95% CI: 1.81–2.66, p < 0.001) and PFS (HR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.93–3.12, p < 0.001). Subgroup analyses did not alter the prognostic role of CPCs, regardless of region, sample size, cut-off value, detection time, initial treatment, or data type. Moreover, the increased CPCs were significantly related to advanced tumour stage (ISS III vs. ISS I–II: pooled OR = 2.89, 95% CI: 2.41–3.46, p < 0.001; R-ISS III vs. R-ISS I–II: pooled OR = 3.65, 95% CI: 2.43–5.50, p < 0.001) and high-risk cytogenetics (high-risk vs. standard-risk: OR = 2.22, 95% CI: 1.60–3.08, p < 0.001). Our meta-analysis confirmed that the increased number of CPCs had a negative impact on the PFS and OS of MM patients. Therefore, CPCs could be a promising prognostic biomarker that helps with risk stratification and disease monitoring. There is a growing need for an updated meta-analysis to identify the specific relationship between CPCs and the prognosis of MM based on the current research status. Our meta-analysis revealed that a high CPCs level was significantly associated with worse OS and PFS in MM patients. CPCs could be a promising predictive biomarker that helps with risk stratification and disease monitoring.

Developing an integrated e-wallet continuance model for the Malaysian digital economy
Creators: name: Supahan, Sarah Binti
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2025

description: This study investigates the factors influencing e-wallet continuance among consumers and merchants in Malaysia, guided by Expectancy Value Theory (EVT) and extended with transaction-based constructs. Key drivers include intrinsic factors (trust, risk), extrinsic factors (accessibility, seamlessness, innovativeness, government support), mediators (attitude, utilitarian value), and the moderating role of customer engagement. Findings reveal attitudes and perceived benefits as critical for long-term adoption, with managerial implications emphasizing operational efficiency and system integration for merchants. This research provides valuable insights into e-wallet usage and continuance, advancing theoretical understanding, and offering practical recommendations for stakeholders in the digital payment ecosystem.

description: A large proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) experience IBD-related inflammatory conditions outside of the gastrointestinal tract, termed extraintestinal manifestations (EIMs) which further decreases quality of life and, in extreme cases, can be life threatening. The pathogenesis of EIMs remains unknown, and although gut microbiota alterations are a well-known characteristic of patients with IBD, its relationship with EIMs remains sparsely investigated. This study aimed to compare the gut microbiota of patients with IBD with and without EIMs. A total of 131 Danish patients with IBD were included in the study, of whom 86 had a history of EIMs (IBD-EIM) and 45 did not (IBD-C). Stool samples underwent 16S rRNA sequencing. Amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) were mapped to the Silva database. Diversity indices and distance matrices were compared between IBD-EIM and IBD-C. Differentially abundant ASVs were identified using a custom multiple model statistical analysis approach, and modules of co-associated bacteria were identified using sparse correlations for compositional data (SparCC) and related to patient EIM status. Patients with IBD and EIMs exhibited increased disease activity, body mass index, increased fecal calprotectin levels and circulating monocytes and neutrophils. Microbiologically, IBD-EIM exhibited lower fecal microbial diversity than IBD-C (Mann–Whitney’s test, p = .01) and distinct fecal microbiota composition (permutational multivariate analysis of variance; weighted UniFrac, R2 = 0.018, p = .01). A total of 26 ASVs exhibited differential relative abundances between IBD-EIM and IBD-C, including decreased Agathobacter and Blautia and increased Eggerthella lenta in the IBD-EIM group. SparCC analysis identified 27 bacterial co-association modules, three of which were negatively related to EIM (logistic regression, p < .05) and included important health-associated bacteria, such as Agathobacter and Faecalibacterium. The fecal microbiota in IBD patients with EIMs is distinct from that in IBD patients without EIM and could be important for EIM pathogenesis.
