Sr 1 Lankan Mountain Rat
Rattus montanus
French: Rat du Sri Lanka / German: Sri-Lanka-Ratte / Spanish: Rata de montana de Sri Lanka
Other common names: Jungle Rat, Nellu Rat, Nillu Rat
Taxonomy. Rattus montanus W. W. A. Phillips, 1932,
Ohiya, 6000 ft (= 1830 m), West Haputale, Sri Lanka.
Relationship of R. montanus in Rattus is uncertain and requires genetic research. Monotypic.
Distribution. C Sri Lanka.
Descriptive notes. Male: head-body 171 mm, tail 208 mm, ear 21-5 mm, hindfoot 33 mm (averages); female: head—body 160 mm, tail 228 mm, ear 21 mm, hindfoot 34 mm (one specimen). No specific data are available for body weight. Males appear to be larger than females. The Sri Lankan Mountain Rat is large and distinctive, with long, soft, and dense pelage. Dorsum is dark gray brown, with rufous tinge, being more rufous on sides and darker with brown-tipped hairs and lead graybases along spine. Dorsal pelage blends into ventral pelage. Venter is light hoary steel gray, with bluish gray hairs with white tips. Chin and upper throat are pure white; sides of face are light gray. Feet are light gray brown, nearly white on toes of hindfeet and inner surfaces of forefeet. Ears are dusky; vibrissae are long and black. Tail is ¢.122-143% of head-body length and unicolored dusky blackish brown, with dusky hairs sparsely covering it.
Habitat. Tropical evergreen montane forest and wet grasslands.
Food and Feeding. The Sri Lankan Mountain Rat is known to eat seeds of Strobilanthes sp. (Acanthaceae), and its populations may fluctuate based on the plant’s abundance.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Sri Lankan Mountain Ratis terrestrial, diurnal, and crepuscular.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List. Habitat loss and degradation due to agricultural expansion,fire, and cutting of forests seem to be
the major threats. Sri Lankan Mountain Rats occur in Horton Plains National Park and Knuckles Forest Reserve. Additional research is needed to fully understand its natural history, taxonomy, and conservation threats.

description: Genus Sphaeraster Quenstedt, 1875
Type species. Although Clark & Wright (1962) designated Sphaerites punctatus Quenstedt, 1875 as type species, this is an objective junior synonym of Asterias tabulatus Goldfuss, 1833, which is therefore the type species. Following Hess (1975), the name S. tabulatus has been used for the common Oxfordian–Kimmeridgian species of Sphaeraster.
Diagnosis. Large Sphaerasteridae in which the abactinal surface forms a high dome, composed of numerous (450+) abactinal ossicles which are set in rows with an interradial chevron arrangement and taper towards the ambitus; primary circlet approximately one-third of diameter; larger individuals possess a ring of six to seven spines on the primary abactinal ossicles.
Included species. Sphaeraster tabulatus.

(Fig. 8G)
2011 possible stauranderasterid oral ossicle Gale: pl. 16, figs 10, 11.
Material. Two oral ossicles (NHMUK EE 13584, MnhnL OPH 173) from the Carnian (Late Triassic) St. Cassian Formation, Cortina d’ Ampezzo, Italy.
Description. The two well-preserved oral ossicles (Gale 2011, pl. 16, figs 10, 11; herein Fig. 8G) possess convex actinal and distal margins of equal length, set at right angles. The external actinal surface bears a proximal row of fine os attachments, and five larger, irregularly distributed suboral spine (sos) are present. The distal surface for contact with the adamb (orada, oradm) is large and well developed. The apophyse (apo) is short and blunt.
Remarks. These oral ossicles are similar in shape to those of Sphaeraster (e.g. Fig. 8A–E) and the stauranderasterid Manfredaster bulbiferus (Forbes, 1848) (Fig. 8N) in that the tall proximal margin is set at right angles to the actinal margin. The triangular spine-bearing actinal surface is positioned on the lateral part of the ossicle, as in stauranderasterids, to which they are provisionally assigned. If this is the case, the origination of the Stauranderasteridae probably lies in the Middle Triassic.

Echinosphaeraster

description: Genus Echinosphaeraster gen. nov.
Type species. Asterias scutatus Goldfuss, 1833.
Diagnosis. A sphaerasterid in which the large abactinal ossicles of the abactinal surface each carry a tall, conical, centrally placed spine on a raised, crater-shaped circular facet. A small number (approximatey 50) of large abactinal plates, of similar breadth, are present between the ambitus and the primary circlet, set in four rows per radius. The primary circlet is broad and extends across half the diameter of the abactinal surface. The abactinal surface forms a low dome, and the actinal surface is flat.
Derivation of name. Echinos, Greek, meaning spiny.
Included species. Asterias scutatus Goldfuss, 1833.
Remarks. Echinosphaeraster gen. nov. differs in important features from Sphaeraster, most importantly the smaller number of abactinal plates (about 50) set in four columns per radius that do not taper towards the ambitus and in the presence of very large conical spines placed centrally on the abactinal ossicles above the ambitus.

2003 Stauraster billodense Valette; Courville & Villier: 182, fig. 3D–G.
2004b Stauraster billodense Valette; Villier et al.: 39.
Type. The radial ossicle figured by von Zittel (1880, fig. 327c) from the ‘Oberer Jura’ (upper Oxfordian) of Streitberg, Franconia, Bavaria, Germany, is the lectotype. The present whereabouts are unknown.
Diagnosis. As for the genus.
Material. A well-preserved arm, from the upper Oxfordian of Switzerland (MZA L246) and numerous isolated ossicles (Fig. 5A–N, NHMUK EE 17624–17632, 17638) from the lower Oxfordian (Couches de Passage, uppermost 3 m of section; Gale 2019, fig. 20) of Andelot-Morvan (Jura, France).
Remarks. The ossicle figured by von Zittel (1880, fig. 327c) in the form of a rather stylized woodcut is a proximal radial ossicle that is closely similar in morphology to material from France described by Valette as S. billodense, in terms of shape, the presence of vertical, oval articulation structures and rather deeply impressed spine pits. Additionally, both species are of Oxfordian age. The ossicles appear to be similar in shape and sculpture, allowing for Von Zittel’ s stylized illustration, and I therefore follow Hess (1975) in synonomizing S. billodense with von Zittel’ s species. There is an age difference of approximately 3 million years between the two occurrences, but both are Oxfordian in age; many Jurassic asteroids have relatively long ranges, so this is not unusual. The material figured by Fraas as Pentaceros primaevus (Fraas 1886, pl. 30, figs 17–31) appears to contain diverse taxa, including a bulbous primary radial or interradial (Frass 1886, fig. 17) which is an undescribed stauranderasterid. Two disc ossicles (Frass 1886, figs 18, 19) may belong to S. billodense.
The discovery of an articulated arm of S. primaevus demonstrates the morphology of Stauraster for the first time (Fig. 5A–C), and the numerous ossicles from Andelot-Morvan allow a tentative reconstruction of the disc (Fig. 5O).
Included species. Stauraster primaevus.

A Theory of Stability in Many-to-many Matching Markets

Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: Matching markets, Core, Lattice, Stability, Substitutability, Tarski's Fixed Point Theorem

description: We develop a theory of stability in many-to-many matching markets. We give conditions under which the setwise-stable set, a core-like concept, is nonempty and can be approached through an algorithm. The setwise-stable set coincides with the pairwise-stable set, and with the predictions of a non-cooperative bargaining model. The set-wise stable set possesses the canonical conflict/coincidence of interest properties from many-to-one, and one-to-one models. The theory parallels the standard theory of stability for many-to-one, and one-to-one, models. We provide results for a number of core-like
solutions, besides the setwise-stable set.

Fairness, or Just Gambling on It? An Experimental Analysis of the Gift Exchange Game

description: Fehr, Kirchsteiger and Riedl experimentally test a labor market in which worker effort levels are chosen after wages are set. They observe high wages and effort levels in the repeated game, contrary to the equilibrium prediction. In a similar experimental test of lemons markets, Lynch Miller, Plott and Porter find support for the equilibrium prediction. The current paper finds more evidence of repeated game effects than in previous studies. In a model of incomplete information regarding the reciprocal nature of other players, the FKR design is shown to be conducive to reputation effects while the LMPP design is not.

Learning Dynamics in Mechanism Design: An Experimental Comparison of Public Goods Mechanisms
Creators: name: Healy, Paul J.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: Mechanism design, experiments, best response, public goods, dynamics

description: In a repeated-interaction public goods economy, dynamic behavior may affect the efficiency of various mechanisms thought to be efficient in one-shot games. Inspired by results obtained in previous experiments, the current paper proposes a simple best response model in which players' beliefs are functions of previous strategy profiles. The predictions of the model are found to be highly consistent with new experimental data from five mechanisms with various types of equilibria. Interesting properties of a 2-parameter Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanism help to draw out this result. The simplicity of the model makes it useful in predicting dynamic stability of other mechanisms.

Comparative Statics, English Auctions, and the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem
Creators: name: Echenique, Federico
name: Manelli, Alejandro M.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: Efficient Auctions, International Trade Theory, Implicit Function Theorem

description: Changes in the parameters of an n-dimensional system of equations induce changes in its solutions. For a class of such systems, we determine the qualitative change in solutions given certain qualitative changes in parameters. Our methods and results are elementary yet useful. They highlight the existence of a common thread, our "own effect" assumption, in formally diverse areas of economics. We discuss several applications; among them, we establish the existence of efficient equilibria in English auctions with interdependent valuations, and a version of the Stolper-Samuelson Theorem for an nxn trade model.

Multi-Utilitarianism in Two-Agent Quasilinear Social Choice
Creators: name: Chambers, Christopher P.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: social choice, quasilinear bargaining, recursive invariance

description: We introduce a new class of rules for resolving quasilinear social choice problems. These rules extend those of Green. We call such rules multi-utilitarian rules. Each multi-utilitarian rule is associated with a probability measure over the set of weighted utilitarian rules, and is derived as the expectation of this probability. These rules are characterized by the axioms efficiency, translation invariance, monotonicity, continuity, and additivity. By adding recursive invariance, we obtain a class of asymmetric rules generalizing those Green characterizes. A multi-utilitarian rule satisfying strong monotonicity has an associated probability measure with full support.

Is the Status Quo Relevant in a Representative Democracy?
Creators: name: Eguia, Jon X.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: Status quo, endogenous candidates.

description: This work studies the effect of the value of the status quo in the candidates' decisions and policy outcomes in a representative democracy with endogenous candidates. Following the citizen-candidate model due to Besley and Coate (1997) we show, for a unidimensional policy issue and for both an odd and even number of citizens, that some equilibria only hold for certain values of
the status quo policy. In particular we find that a moderate status quo rules out equilibrium outcomes in which there is an uncontested candidate and that two-candidate equilibria exist more generally when the number of citizens is even.

description: In an increasingly fast-paced context, some users seek new ways to digest large amounts of information. Email courses enable asynchronous, on-demand educational content in a structured and paced format, providing cohesive training to a wide audience with minimal staff time commitment. To explore their practical benefits and to expand user understanding of two broad topics, we developed two email courses within our academic health sciences library: how to write data management plans and how to design effective posters. Our poster demonstrates the process of planning and developing email courses, outlines each course’s structure, and showcases statistics on subscription trends. The poster also discusses successes and challenges with this format.

This poster was presented in-person at the Medical Library Association Conference in Portland, Oregon, on May 20, 2024. In addition to the poster file, an additional materials document with references, related work, disclosures, and a link to the email course is also included — or, view the email courses referenced in this poster now.
Secure Implementation: Strategy-Proof Mechanisms Reconsidered
Creators: name: Saijo, Tatsuyoshi
name: Sjöström, Tomas
name: Yamato, Takehiko
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003

description: Strategy-proofness, requiring that truth-telling is a dominant strategy, is a standard concept in social choice theory. However, the concept of strategy-proofness has serious drawbacks. First, announcing one's true preference may not be a unique dominant strategy, and using the wrong dominant strategy may lead to the wrong outcome. Second, almost all strategy-proof mechanisms have a continuum of Nash equilibria, and most of which produce the wrong outcome. Third, experimental evidence shows that most of the strategy-proof mechanisms do not work well. We argue that a possible solution to this dilemma is to require double implementation in Nash equilibrium and in dominant strategies, which we call secure implementation. We characterize environments where secure implementation is possible, and compare it with dominant strategy implementation. An interesting example of secure implementation is a Groves mechanism when preferences are single-peaked.

An Experimental Study of Storable Votes
Creators: name: Casella, Alessandra
name: Gelman, Andrew
name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003

description: The storable votes mechanism is a method of voting for committees that meet periodically to consider a series of binary decisions. Each member is allocated a fixed budget of votes to be cast as desired over the multiple decisions. Voters are induced to spend more votes on those decisions that matter to them most, shifting the ex ante probability of winning away from decisions they value less and towards decisions they value more, typically generating welfare gains over standard majority voting with non-storable votes. The equilibrium strategies have a very intuitive feature–-the number of votes cast must be monotonic in the voter's intensity of preferences–-but are otherwise difficult to calculate,
raising questions of practical implementation. In our experiments, realized efficiency levels were remarkably close to theoretical equilibrium predictions, while subjects adopted monotonic but off-equilibrium strategies. We are lead to conclude that concerns about the complexity of the game may have limited practical relevance.

Endogenous Entry and Self-selection in Private Value Auctions: An Experimental Study
Creators: name: Palfrey, Thomas R.
name: Pevniskaya, Svetlana
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 2003
Subjects: auctions, experimental economics, game theory

description: This paper presents the results of an experimental study of endogenous entry and bidding behavior in first-price independent private value auctions. In the first stage N potential bidders simultaneously decide whether to participate in an auction or to claim a fixed outside option. At this stage all potential bidders know N, the distribution of possible values, and the value of the outside option. In the second stage, each entering bidder submits a bid after learning their own private value for the object and the number of entering bidders. We find evidence of self-selection effect, as predicted by an equilibrium model of heterogeneous risk averse bidders. The theoretical model predicts that bidding in the auction will be lower with endogenous entry because only the less risk averse bidders will choose to enter. We also find that entry decreases with the value of the outside option, as predicted. One surprising finding is that we observe over-entry relative to the theoretical predictions.
