Rapoport's rule

description: Understanding elevational range size distribution of organisms can provide valuable insights on biogeographic pattern of species and their conservation. Rapoport's rule posits that the elevational range size of species increases with increasing elevation. However, the validity of this rule is often questioned due to variations in methodologies across studies and inconsistencies among different groups of organisms. In this study we examined the elevational range size distribution of butterflies in the Eastern Himalaya, and assessed the applicability of Rapoport's rule using different approaches, which perhaps is the first of its kind in the Himalaya. We sampled butterflies along the elevational gradient of 16 elevational bands (300 – 3,300 m) using point count method along the transect. The sampled butterflies were grouped into various sub-groups based on family, biogeographic affinity, and larval feeding pattern. We found that the majority of the butterfly species (total as well as sub-groups) had small range sizes, and their elevational range distribution showed support for the Rapoport's rule. Increase in variation in temperature as measured by temperature seasonality and mean annual temperature range were the most important predictors of range size distribution pattern of the overall butterfly community. However, the relationship between range size and climatic variability differed among various sub-groups implying that the perceived pattern may vary even within the species of the same taxon.

PHYSICAL PARAMETERS OF SEED FRUITS, QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF SEEDS OF SQUASH VARIETY ORBITA
Creators: name: Aripova, Shakhnoza

description: In this study, the physical parameters of seed fruits of squash such as weight, length, width, pulp and peel thickness, and seed placenta weight were analyzed. Thirteen fruit samples were investigated and correlations were found between their physical characteristics and seed number. The results show that fruit weight has a direct effect on fruit productivity: larger fruits contain more seeds and have greater pulp weight. A positive correlation between the mass of seed placenta and the number of developed seeds was also found. At the same time, the thickness of the cortex remains unchanged and has no effect on other parameters. This study can be useful for breeders and agronomists in selecting the most productive squash varieties for further seed production.

description: E. gladiatrix subgroup
Recognition. All E. gladiatrix subgroup species have four thoracic vittae on both the presutural and postsutural area of the thorax (e.g., Figs 1F–I, 5–20), but otherwise species vary widely in appearance. Females of three species, E. charapensis, E. falcata sp. nov., and E. fordlandia sp. nov., have the end tergite fused at base and apically forked (Figs 113–115), a characteristic also shared by the E. ferox subgroup. The remainder of E. gladiatrix subgroup species have paired female end tergites, which range in length relative to the length of the piercer (e.g., Figs 116–120).
Relationships and ecology. This subgroup includes the majority of known E. ferox group species; species for which sequence data is available are well supported as a clade (Fig. 1). As in the E. kopis sp. nov. subgroup, the average distance between E. gladiatrix subgroup species (0.0236) is much lower than the distance between the E. kopis sp. nov. and E. gladiatrix subgroups (0.04). They are unified by their ecology, as all known hosts of the E. gladiatrix subgroup are Crambidae caterpillars. Several species, including E. strigata, E. aurata, and E. woodorum sp. nov., appear to be closely related, as females of these species possess short piercers (Figs 95, 103) and the male cercus is bent at mid length (Figs 140, 148, 150). Total data suggest that all Nearctic E. ferox group species belong to the E. gladiatrix subgroup, although genetic data from the key species E. texana is missing. Furthermore, the deep nesting of these species within the otherwise entirely Neotropical clade (Fig. 1) suggests that the E. ferox group likely originated in the tropics and later dispersed to the temperate zone.

Toulgoetalna tavakiliani Boulard 1982: 181. (Montagne Tortue, French Guiana)
REMARKS.—The constricted base of the male abdomen makes identification of the male very easy. The female abdomen does not constrict at the junction with the thorax as it does in the male. The female operculum is green, arched off of the abdominal sternites with a smoothly curved posterior margin extending over the anterior third of sternite II. There is a deep, rounded, single notch rounded laterally in female sternite VII with the posterior margin approximating a sine wave. Abdominal segment 9 is green with a fuscous ovipositor sheath extending beyond the dorsal beak (Sanborn 2011a).
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported previously only from French Guiana (Sanborn 2011a; 2013).

description: Communicating about some vital topics -- such as sexuality and health -- is treated as taboo and subjected to censorship. How can we construct knowledge about these topics? Wikipedia is home to numerous high-quality knowledge artifacts about taboo topics like sexual organs and human reproduction. How did these artifacts come into being? How is their existence sustained? This mixed-methods comparative project builds on previous work on taboo topics in Wikipedia and draws from qualitative and quantitative approaches. We follow a sequential complementary design, developing a narrative articulation of the life of taboo articles, comparing them to nontaboo articles, and examining some of their quantifiable traits. We find that taboo knowledge artifacts develop through multiple successful collaboration styles and, unsurprisingly, that taboo subjects are the sites of conflict. We identify and describe six themes in the development of taboo knowledge artifacts. These artifacts need resilient leadership and engaged organizations to thrive under conditions of limited identifiability and disjointed sensemaking, while contributors simultaneously engage in emergent governance and imagining public audiences. Our observations have important implications for supporting public knowledge work on controversial subjects such as taboos and more generally.

description: A variety of high-energy events can take place in the seconds leading up to a binary neutron-star merger. Mechanisms involving tidal resonances, electrodynamic interactions, or shocks in mass-loaded wakes have been proposed as instigators of these precursors. With a view of gravitational-wave and multimessenger astrophysics more broadly, premerger observations and theory are reviewed emphasising how gamma-ray precursors and dynamical tides can constrain the neutron-star equation of state, thermodynamic microphysics, and evolutionary pathways. Connections to post-merger phenomena, notably gamma-ray bursts, are discussed together with how magnetic fields, spin and misalignment, crustal elasticity, and stratification gradients impact observables.

Coata facialis Distant 1906b: 31. (Santa Inéz, Quito, and an undetermined locality in Ecuador)
[Coata facialis] var. Jacobi 1907a: 25. (Balzapamba, Ecuador) n. syn.
REMARKS.—According to Article 73.2.3, the type locality includes all of the localities of the syntypes (ICZN 1999). Under Article 11.9.1, a valid species name requires at least two letters (ICZN 1999).As a result, the variety proposed by Jacobi (1907a) is not valid and cannot be classified as a subspecies under Article 45.6.3 (ICZN 1999). The proposed variety of Jacobi is considered to be a synonym of Distant’s species as Jacobi (1907a) only distinguished the taxon based on size and color variation in a single specimen.
This is a green species marked with fuscous and black. The species has infuscation on the fore wing apex, extending from proximal radius anterior 2 across the radial crossvein, on the radiomedial crossvein and along the posterior half of the nodal line (illustrated in Jacobi 1907a).
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported only from Ecuador (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013). The species has been recorded from Balzapamba, Bolívar province, Coca, Orellana province, Santa Inez and Quito, Pichincha province and Macas, Morona Santiago province, and Rio Mangavisa (Distant 1906b; Jacobi 1907a; Goding 1925).

description: The industrial landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, moving away from traditional wired fieldbus networks to cutting-edge 5G mobile networks. This transition, extending from local applications to company-wide use and spanning multiple factories, is driven by the promise of low-latency communication and seamless connectivity for various devices in industrial settings. However, besides these tremendous benefits, the integration of 5G as the communication infrastructure in industrial networks introduces a new set of risks and threats to the security of industrial systems. The inherent complexity of 5G systems poses unique challenges for ensuring a secure integration, surpassing those encountered with any technology previously utilized in industrial networks. Most importantly, the distinct characteristics of industrial networks, such as real-time operation, required safety guarantees, and high availability requirements, further complicate this task. As the industrial transition from wired to wireless networks is a relatively new concept, a lack of guidance and recommendations on securely integrating 5G renders many industrial systems vulnerable and exposed to threats associated with 5G. To address this situation, in this paper, we summarize the state-of-the-art and derive a set of recommendations for the secure integration of 5G into industrial networks based on a thorough analysis of the research landscape. Furthermore, we identify opportunities to utilize 5G to enhance security and indicate remaining challenges, identifying future academic directions.

Selymbriini Moulds and Marshall 2018 (in Marshall et al. 2018): 53.
TYPE GENUS.— Selymbria Stål 1861: 615.
REMARKS.— Marshall et al. (2018) transferred the genus Selymbria from the Taphurini to a new monogeneric tribe. The basal position of the genus in their multi-gene tree suggests it is an ancient lineage and it is the only genus of Cicadidae to show an aedeagus that is similar in structure to the species of Tettigarcta of the family Tettigarctidae Distant, 1905f (Marshall et al. 2018). The supra-antennal plate that almost meets the eye, the lack of an accessory sound producing structure in the males, the undulated aedeagal basal plate that is not right-angled distally, a theca that is very short and laterally expanded into a broad flat distal end ornamented with triangular wings like species of the Tettigarctidae, and an uncus that is exceedingly long, undivided, non-retractable within the pygofer distinguish the Selymbriini from the other Tibicininae tribes (Marshall et al. 2018).

Selymbria Stål 1861: 615.
TYPE SPECIES.— Cicada signifera Germar 1830: 44. (Brazil)
REMARKS.—A generic revision was recently performed that included a number of new species including one inhab- iting Ecuador (Sanborn 2019a). The characteristics given for the tribe also distinguish the only currently assigned genus, Selymbria, within the Selymbriini. Particularly, the triangular head with prominent eyes when viewed from the dorsal side, the recurved ridge on the posterior timbal cavity, and the long uncus are obvious structures that can be used to identify members of the genus.
DISTRIBUTION.—Species of the genus have been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guatemala, Panama, and Peru (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2018c; 2019a; 2020b; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

REMARKS.— Goemans (2016) showed the record of Z. calochroma attributed to Ecuador by Goding (1925) was erroneous. Goding (1925) considered Z. calochroma and Z. smaragdula, a species that inhabits Ecuador (see above), as synonyms. The reference by Goding (1925) to Z. calochroma is considered a misidentification of Z. smaragdula and Z. calochroma is removed from the cicada fauna of Ecuador.
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Sanborn 2013; 2014a; 2018c; Goemans 2016). However, the records from Ecuador and Venezuela are considered erroneous identifications of Z. smaragdula Walker, 1858b (Goemans 2016).

description: Phosphorus (P) is an indispensable nutrient for agriculture. Recovery and recycling of phosphorus from waste streams is necessary to ensure a circular P economy and reduce dependence on disproportionately distributed mineral P resources. In this study, a new process called ‘PULSE’ is presented for the recovery of P from sewage sludge, which can handle high metal contents. The process involves drying of sludge prior to acidic leaching to overcome the challenge of solid-liquid separation at low pH and to reduce the overall material flows. Another key point of the process is the removal of metals using reactive extraction to obtain a high-quality product with good plant availability. Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate and select the best process options. A chemical equilibrium tool was developed to simulate the unit operations of the process for optimization. Dissolution of P from sludge depends on leaching pH and the fraction of inorganic P in the sludge. The maximum P leaching efficiency for the sludge used in the study was between 65 and 70%. Under the tested conditions, Fe, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, and Zn were successfully removed from the sludge leach liquor by reactive extraction. The recovered product has a nutrient mass fraction of about 51% that includes Ca, PO43-, Mg, and K. Pot trials confirmed that the agronomical efficiency of the product is comparable to that of triple superphosphate.

REMARKS.—The number of species that were synonymized by Metcalf (1963a) may not all represent the same species. For example, D. metcalfi was erected out of synonymy after it was shown the genitalia of the species differed (Sanborn & Heath 2014). The relatively short descriptions in Walker (1850) may mean that some of the synonymized species are in fact valid taxa.
The references to D. semilata in Ecuador are all as synonymized examples of D. metcalfi in Metcalf’s (1963a) catalogue. No specimens have been seen or reported in the literature as D. semilata in Ecuador. As a result, D. semilata is removed from the cicada fauna of Ecuador.
DISTRIBUTION.—The species has been reported from a wide geographic range. Records for the species have been published for Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, St. Lucia, the Antilles, Trinidad & Tobago, Uruguay, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Dorval et al. 2011; Sanborn 2011a, b; 2013; 2014a; 2019b; 2020b, e; Sanborn & Heath 2014). Previous records to Panama are in error (Sanborn 2018c) as are the Ecuadorian records. The range may be refined significantly if some of the synonyms turn out to be valid species.
