description: Many super-Earths are on very short orbits around their host star and, therefore, more likely to be tidally locked. Because this locking can lead to a strong contrast between the dayside and nightside surface temperatures, these super-Earths could exhibit mantle convection patterns and tectonics that could differ significantly from those observed in the present-day solar system. The presence of an atmosphere, however, would allow transport of heat from the dayside toward the nightside and thereby reduce the surface temperature contrast between the two hemispheres. On rocky planets, atmospheric and geodynamic regimes are closely linked, which directly connects the question of atmospheric thickness to the potential interior dynamics of the planet. Here, we study the interior dynamics of super-Earth GJ 486b (R=1.34 R circle plus, M=3.0 M circle plus, Teq approximate to 700 K), which is one of the most suitable M-dwarf super-Earth candidates for retaining an atmosphere produced by degassing from the mantle and magma ocean. We investigate how the geodynamic regime of GJ 486b is influenced by different surface temperature contrasts by varying possible atmospheric circulation regimes. We also investigate how the strength of the lithosphere affects the convection pattern. We find that hemispheric tectonics, the surface expression of degree-1 convection with downwellings forming on one hemisphere and upwelling material rising on the opposite hemisphere, is a consequence of the strong lithosphere rather than surface temperature contrast. Anchored hemispheric tectonics, where downwellings und upwellings have a preferred (day/night) hemisphere, is favored for strong temperature contrasts between the dayside and nightside and higher surface temperatures.

description: 1. The impact of warming on zooxanthellate corals is widespread, from tropical to temperate seas, with its associated mortalities causing global concern. 2. The temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa is the only zooxanthellate coral with reef building capacity in the Mediterranean Sea, a climate change hotspot with warming rates triple the global average. 3. During the past two decades, C. caespitosa populations have suffered severe mortality events associated with marine heatwaves (MHWs). However, with monitoring efforts beginning, at best, in the 2000s, the occurrence of MHWs before that period, as well as the sublethal effects of these events remain poorly understood. 4. Here, we use sclerochronology to reconstruct the histories of past stress events and long-term sublethal effects on C. caespitosa in three locations along a latitudinal gradient within the NW Mediterranean Sea, each with different environmental conditions. 5. Skeletal extension, density and calcification rates were compared with the in situ seawater temperature of each site to assess their relationship. Furthermore, we assessed the occurrence of skeletal growth anomalies to reconstruct stress events between 1991 and 2021, a period that encompasses the onset and evolution of warming-related mass mortality events in the NW Mediterranean Sea. 6. Our results reveal a positive association between calcification and temperature, following a latitudinal temperature gradient. However, the evolution of the likelihood distribution of growth rates in the warmest site (Columbretes Islands) since the 1990s indicates a decrease in linear extension and calcification rates during the most recent years. With the increase in the frequency of MHWs and growth anomalies during the last decade, this decline suggests recurrent physiological stress events. 7. These results unravel information on the long-term impacts of warming on coral growth and highlight the potential of applying sclerochronology to reconstruct the sublethal effects of warming using C. caespitosa.

description: Genus Rhodobaenus LeConte
Rhodobaenus LeConte 1876:332. Homalostylus Chevrolat 1885:287.
Type species: Curculio tredecempunctatus Illiger 1794:613. By subsequent designation (Vaurie 1967:13).
This is a large tropical genus with approximately 100 species described. There are 41 species of Rhodobaenus known from Costa Rica and 28 from Panama with 26 shared between the two countries. The genus occurs from southern Canada to Argentina.
Rhodobaenus species lack a lateral line on the aedeagus. This is a synapomorphy shared with Cactophagus. Most Rhodobaenus species can be easily distinguised because tarsal article 5 (the claw­bearing article) is ventrally excavate at the middle of the apex and/or is bilamellate to a various extent; however, there are a few species in which the ventral surface of the article is unmodified. These latter species of Rhodobaenus are generally larger in size than most other Rhodobaenus and are usually entirely grey or black, some with dark velvety black markings or a pale colored "V" or "C" shaped marking on the elytra. Most Rhodobaenus species also tend to have a rostrum that is somewhat humped near the base.
Where known, species of Rhodobaenus are associated generally with Asteraceae (Vaurie 1981). Larvae are stem miners. Immature stages were described by Anderson (1948).

Effect of altering ruminal pH by dietary buffer supplementation on methane emissions

description: Low methane (CH4) emissions from sheep fed forage rape (Brassica napus) might be related to low ruminal pH value. In this study, sodium carbonate (Na2CO3: SC) was supplemented to the diet to alter ruminal pH for evaluation of its role in CH4 emissions from sheep fed forage rape. Fourteen intact and eight fistulated Romney sheep were adapted to forage rape over 32 days and then randomly allocated to one of two groups: diets supplemented with SC or not (control). Methane emissions were measured from intact sheep in seven experimental periods. In parallel, ruminal pH and fermentation characteristics were assessed using the fistulated sheep. In the first (P01) and the second (P02) periods, none of the sheep received SC to examine the baseline CH4 emissions. The P01 period was used as a covariate for analysis of gas emission measurements in subsequent measurement periods. Sodium carbonate was offered at 5% of the forage DM in P03 and P04, increased to 8% in P05 and P06 to assess the effect of pH increase on CH4 emissions and stopped in P07 to assess if the CH4 emissions reverted to values similar to those measured before the supplementation started. Methane yield (g/kg forage DM intake) was similar for the sheep in both groups during P02 and P03, but sheep supplemented with SC in the diet emitted 36%, 49% and 30% more CH4 per unit of forage DM intake than those in the control group during P04, P05 and P06, respectively. Emissions returned to similar levels when SC supplementation was ceased in P07. Ruminal pH was 0.412 to 0.565 units higher in SC supplemented sheep than for the control group during the SC treatment periods. Based on the lack of an immediate response in CH4 emissions to the supplementation of SC in P03, the positive responses in P04 to P06 and the rapid disappearance of the response after supplementation with SC stopped in P07, we propose a new hypothesis that ruminal pH effects on CH4 emissions are possibly through medium-term changes in microbial and methanogenic communities in the rumen, rather than a direct, short-term impact on methanogens per se. In conclusion, SC supplemented to the forage rape diet of sheep increased rumen pH, leading to an increase in CH4 emissions. Low ruminal pH in sheep fed forage rape explains, at least partially, the reported low CH4 emissions from sheep fed with this forage crop.

The documentary method of research was adopted for the work involving the reexamination and amplification of secondary sources of information, on the bases of which the paper’s findings were made. The paper found that on the grounds of the considered socio-cultural indicators, Nigeria remains underdeveloped. It is concluded and recommended in the paper that to defeat the existing developmental challenges in the country, the national political elite must follow the lines of leadership dependability in governance

description: 2. Scolia (Discolia) quadripustulata Fabricius, 1782
The name Scolia quadripustulata Fabricius was misapplied for a long time to another species now known as S. binotata Fabricius (Gupta & Jonathan, 2003). We checked all specimens from China in IOZ and RMNH, and all were found to belong to Scolia (Discolia) binotata Fabricius. The following characters may be used to separate both species.
The male of S. binotata (Fig. 5a1–5a3, 5b1–5b3) has the erect vestiture predominantly white on the head and mesosoma (vestiture on head and mesosoma black in S. quadripustulata) and antennal flagellum short, clavate towards apex, and penultimate segments as broad as long (flagellum distinctly longer and not clavate towards apex and penultimate segments longer than broad in S. quadripustulata).
The female of S. binotata (Fig. 5c1–5c, 5d1–5d3) has the pronotum dorso-posteriorly (“scapulae”) and posterior half of mesoscutum medially and scutellum with a few scattered punctures(densely punctate in S.quadripustulata with small impunctate area on scutellum medio-posteriorly), anterior rim of clypeus broadly rounded anteriorly (anterior rim of clypeus truncate anteriorly in S. quadripustulata), and metapleuron largely impunctate (subcontiguously punctate in S. quadripustulata). All reported records of S. quadripustulata from China concern S. binotata; therefore, we delete S. quadripustulata from the Chinese checklist.
