Gerrhonotus liocephalus

description: Gerrhonotus cf. liocephalus Wiegmann (Texas alligator lizard)
Specimens analysed: one male (CEAC7).
Distribution: uncertain limits. Maybe limited to Jalisco and Colima. Subspecies: Good (1994) did not recognize subspecies.
Good (1994) studied only two specimens belonging to coastal Jalisco. Here we report a morphological description of the male specimen that we studied. In particular, we report the characters that are significant for the morphological diagnosis of Gerrhonotus species following Good (1994). Canthal/loreal series: 3 canthals, 3 loreals; supralabial number: 28; preocular number: 1; number of transverse dorsal scales rows: 48; number of longitudinal dorsal scales: 16; number of dorsal crossbands: 9; ventral pattern: mottled; lateral fold bars: present; limb length: not measured; tail whorl number: tail incomplete. The pattern of coloration shows 9 evident “V” shaped cross-bands. Each of these bands has a width of 2–3 white scales, flanked by darker scales. The ventral pattern is immaculate. The morphological characters of this specimen collected by us are similar to the other three specimens from Jalisco and Colima reported by Good (1994).
Karyotype: Gerrhonotus cf. liocephalus showed 2n = 38 composed by 14 macrochromosomes and 24 microcromosomes (not shown). All macrochromosomes seem biarmed but, for the smallest ones, some doubt exists on their morphology. The karyotype of this species shares with E. coerulea the same diploid number but it has only 12 machrochromosomes.
DNA taxonomy: the phylogenetic position of species of Gerrhonotus was recently addressed by Conroy et al. (2005). A fragment of the NADH dehydrogenase 2 gene and flanking regions (511bp) was sequenced and aligned with published sequences of G. liocephalus, G. infernalis and G. parvus. The sequences of the specimen analysed here clustered with the two sequences belonging to G. infernalis (bootstrap values 70– 75%) (Fig. 3). However, the sequence divergence with this species is high (9.6%). A similar divergence was found between G. liocephalus and G. infernalis (10%). These findings, together with the distinct morphological characteristics of the specimens in the area of Chamela (present work and Good 1994), support its identity as a taxon different from the two mentioned above (Nieto Montes de Oca, unpublished).

Coleonyx

description: Coleonyx Gray
The genus Coleonyx includes seven species of terrestrial geckos commonly referred to as banded geckos. These species are found throughout the south-western United States of America and northern Mexico south into Central America to Costa Rica (Klauber 1945).
Phylogenetic relationships for four species within the genus were assessed by Jonniaux and Kumazawa (2008). Among Eublepharidae the karyotype is known for 4 species only: C. switaki (2n = 24; FN = 26) (Murphy 1974), C. variegatus (2n = 32; FN = 32) (Matthey 1933; Porter et al. 1994), Eublepharis macularius (2n = 38; FN = 38) (Gorman 1973), and Goniurosaurus kuroiwae (2n = 24) (Ota et al. 1987).

Previously recorded material: Londt & Tsacas (1987) listed the following type specimens: SOUTH AFRICA: 2♂ 2♀ (paratypes), 10 km E Rhodes, bottom Naudesnek Pass [c. 30°47'S 28°00'E, c. 1850 m], 3028CC, 9.i.1979, Londt & Stuckenberg, river banks (NMSA); 7♂ (holotype & paratypes) 5♀ (paratypes), Rhodes area [c. 30°47'38"S 27°57'38"E, c. 1815 m], 3027DD, 9-10.i.1979, Londt & Stuckenberg, banks of river & hill near town (NMSA (holotype 5♂ 3♀ paratypes)*, MNHN, BMNH); 1♂ 1♀ (paratypes), Rhodes village [as above], 9.i.1979, Londt & Stuckenberg, river banks on stones (NMSA).
Newly recorded material: SOUTH AFRICA:1♂, 10 km ENE of Rhodes, 30°45'S 28°01'E, 2080 m, 5.ii.1992, Natal Museum Expedition, causeway near Malpas (NMSA); 4♂ 2♀, Bell River at Rhodes, 30°48'S 27°58'E, 1825 m, 5.ii.1992, Natal Museum Expedition, trees grass & riverine (NMSA).
Distribution (Fig. 17), phenology (Table 1) and biology: This South African endemic is confined in its distribution to a small area in the vicinity of the village of Rhodes in the southern Drakensberg Mountains of the Eastern Cape Province. I collected all available specimens on two trips to the area in January and February (Table 1). It is probable that the species is active for much of summer in this summer-rainfall region. All specimens were found resting on rocks in the Bell River, which flows along the northern boundary of Rhodes. Efforts to find examples in the vicinity adjacent to the stream were fruitless. The habitat closely resembles that described for elferinki. There is no biological data apart from that appearing on labels.

Series examined: ZSM 425–429/2004 (fieldnumber 2002.1811; Genbank accession DQ054492) series of 6 specimens from Vohiparara, Kidanavo bridge (21°13’50”S / 47°22’08”E, 1115 m above sea level) collected in a relatively slow-moving brook on 21 January 2003.
Description based on the DNA voucher specimen. Tadpole in stage 26. For morphometric data see tables 3 and 4. Colour in preservative homogeneous brown. The intestinal wall also pigmented and the intestinal spiral visible. Ventral part of the body lacks pigmentation. Anterior part of the tail with faint transverse stripes, but the rest of the tail and caudal fin are missing because of tissue sampling. Tadpole type IV (Orton 1953). Body shape oval. Snout in dorsal view almost rounded. Eyes medium-sized (about 0.1 of body length) dorsally positioned (fig. 2a and b). Spiracle difficult to recognize. Oral disc laterally emarginated, and positioned ventrally (fig. 2c). Dorsal gap of the marginal papillae long (2.13 mm). Oral disc bordered by 51 marginal papillae (˜ 0.1 mm) that decrease in size towards the emargination. One row of 14 submarginal papillae on the lower lip, three on the right side of the upper lip and only a small one on the left side. LTRF 1:6+6/1+1:2 (Dubois 1995) or 7(2–7)/3(1) (Altig & McDiarmid 1999); UTR1 with thinner, longer and more teeth per millimetre (ca. 75/mm) than the rest (ca. 45–65/mm) and becoming shorter at the borders. From UTR2 on, they are separated by the upper jaw sheath. LTR1 with a short gap. Jaw sheaths distinct and black, with serrated edges (ca. 60 on each jaw). Sheath of upper jaw strongly curved in the middle, and lower jaw sheath resembling a wide V.
Variation within the series. 5 specimens in stages 25–28. LTRF 5(2–5)/3(1) in 2 specimens in stage 25 and 6(2–6)/3(1) in the rest. 45–61 marginal papillae 2–3 on each side of the upper lip and 4–8 on each side of the lower. Coloration, general and oral disc morphology agree in all specimens with the DNA voucher.
Previous descriptions. The tadpole of G. depressiceps has been described by Blommers-Schlösser (1979) from specimens collected in central eastern Madagascar (Andasibe, Mandraka and Moramanga-Anosibe) between 900–1200 m above sea level; tadpoles in stages 25–30 measured up to 10 mm body length and up to 15 mm in stage 38; they were typical type IV tadpoles (Orton 1953); mouth small, directed downwards; oral disc indented laterally, and papillary border with a wide dorsal gap; labial tooth row formula (LTRF) was 6(2–6)/3(1) or 7(2–7)/3(1).

Phyllodactylus

description: Phyllodactylus Gray
The genus Phyllodactylus was formerly included in a diverse group of leaf-toed geckos occurring all-over the world. Currently and on the basis of morphological and allozyme phylogenetic analyses, several lineages of Old World leaf-toed geckos are proposed as distinct genera, such as Afrogecko (southern Africa), Christinus (Australia), Cryptactites (southern Africa), Goggia (southern Africa), Dixonius (southeast Asia), Euleptes (Mediterranean), Haemodracon (Sokotra), and Matoatoa (Madagascar) (Bauer et al. 1997; Gamble et al. 2008). The species within the genus Phyllodactylus sensu stricto are now constrained to the New World. Nonetheless, although there are more than 50 species in the genus, molecular genetic and karyological data are very scant, with rDNA 16S sequences reported in less than ten species (Weiss & Hedges 2007; Blair et al. 2009).

Discussion: The correct spelling of the family name is Aplodontiidae (Thomas, 1896). Traditionally classified as the sole extant representative of a unique suborder or infraorder (Protrogomorpha), the monotypic family Aplodontiidae may constitute the sister group to the sciurids (Landry, 1999; Montgelard et al., 2002). Consult McKenna and Bell (1997) for additional fossil synonyms.

Specimens analyzed: one male (CEAC3), one female (CEAC4).
Distribution: a Mexican endemic, with records from Nayarit, Guerrero, Jalisco, and Michoacán, and possibly Colima.
Subspecies: P. l. lanei: Guerrero; P. l. rupinus: Nayarit, coastal Jalisco, southern Michoacán; and two insular Subspecies: P. l. lupitae and P. l. isabelae (Castro-Franco & Uribe-Pena 1992).
Karyotype: karyological data in P. l a n e i were restricted to a report that described karyotypes of specimens from the state of Guerrero, that probably belong to P. l. lanei, 2n = 33–34 and FN = 40–41 (King 1981). The karyotype of specimens from Chamela region belonging to P. l. rupinus has been recently described (Castiglia et al. 2009). It shows 2n = 38 and FN = 38, composed of 19 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes. Thus the karyptypes belonging to the two subspecies differ by the presence of two pairs of large metacentric chromosomes in P. l. l a n e i that are absent in P. l. rupinus. The slight difference in the fundamental number found in the two samples is probably due to a different interpretation of the very small short arms (see Castiglia et al. 2009 for details). Moreover, in the karyotype from Guerrero, a pair of heteromorphic chromosomes was also observed. In females, one of the homologues of this pair was described as bi-armed (with tiny short arms) and this was considered, by the author, a possible ZW sex chromosome system. However, in the studied individuals from Chamela, no chromosome pairs showed a visible heteromorphic condition (Castiglia et al. 2009).
DNA taxonomy: a single sequence (rDNA 16S) of P. l a n e i from Guerrero is available in GeneBank (Blair et al. 2009). This sequence possibly belongs to P. l. lanei. The genetic divergence between the haplotypes from Chamela and those from Guerrero is relatively high, (8.4–8.7%; 449 bp). This divergence is similar to that found among three insular subspecies belong to P. wirshingi, which are considered full species by Weiss and Hedges (2007). Because of the high chromosomal and genetic differences found between the specimens from Guerrero and Jalisco, is plausible the elevation of P. l. rupinus to a specific rank. However, molecular analysis from the type locality of P. l. rupinus (Lombardia, Michoacan, Mexico) are needed before any definitive taxonomic change can be made.

title: "I set no limits on my love" - magic, queerness and the disruption of binaries in Robin Hobb's Real of the Elderlings
Creators: name: Moon, Caitlyn
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2025

description: From the world of BBC's Merlin to the comic book pages of the X-Men, supernatural abilities have been used as a repeated allegory for discrimination and the importance of community. These examples, paraliterary as they are, provide a means of engagement for contemporary audiences to bond, relate and identify with these characters, long before they understand what is being suggested. In this sense, they can blend into our pop cultural consciousness, seeding questions about our assumptions regarding different races, sexualities, genders and abilities.
Robin Hobb's Realm of the Eldering' s series, which began with the bestselling Farseer Trilogy, explores this capability with a level of nuance that demands investigation and analysis to uncover all of its potential; from its explorations and deconstructions of the binaries, to its questioning of what it means to be in love with someone. In this, we will be building upon the work of Peter Melville and Lenise Prater, expanding beyond their original readings. Chapter One begins by analysing the binary magical system in place and the ways in which Fitz disturbs this system and the assumptions which are built into it with his unique ability to wield both magics -- paying particular attention to the ways this unsettles Burrich as he tries to enforce his own hatred of their shared gift of Wit onto his ward. During this, we shall draw upon Julia Kristeva's work with Abjection as a potential source of understanding for Burrich's fear of Wit as well as considering the pride displayed by Burrich in his masculinity and the ways in which his fear can be viewed as an attempt to protected that masculinity, influenced by Judith Butler's work, Gender Trouble. Chapter Two proceeds to explore the ways in which the Kingdom of the Six Duchies parallels our reality's patriarchal leanings, before analysing the ways in which The Fool serves to disturb this with zeir unique presentation of gender, rooted in zeir magical ability as a White, and how this, in turn, serves to unsettle Fitz as a direct effect of Burrich's teachings. Finally, Chapter Three will consider the relationship between Fitz and The Fool, the ways in which they are bonded by their love and care for one another, and the different forms this bond may take -- this shall be explored through both a magical lens befitting the world in which the character belong to, as well as drawing upon theories around radical care as proposed by Hi'ilei Julia Kawehipuaakahaopulani Hobart and Tamara Kneese, and Edmund Husserl's work on inter-subjectivity.

Note. Previous tadpole descriptions for this species were from specimens collected at the East Coast of Madagascar (Foulpointe) where G. t o r n i e r i does not occur. These descriptions almost certainly refer to G. t i m i d u s (see below).
Series examined: ZSM 424/2004 (fieldnumber 2002.1740; DQ054494) series of two specimens from Ranomafana village collected in an artificial pond near the "Hotel Thermal" (21° 15.602S /47° 27.031E, 293 m above sea level) on 25 January 2003.
Description is based on the DNA voucher from this series. For morphometric data see tables 3 and 4. Tadpole in stage 26. Colour in preservative brown, with small dorsal patches. The intestinal wall is also slightly pigmented and the intestinal spiral visible. Ventral part of the body lacks pigmentation. Anterior part of the tail with transverse stripes, but the rest of the tail and caudal fin are missing because of tissue sampling. Tadpole type IV (Orton 1953). Body shape oval (fig. 4a and b). Snout in dorsal view almost rounded. Eyes medium-sized (about 0.1 of body length) dorsally positioned. Spiracle difficult to recognize. Oral disc laterally emarginated, completely ventral, but localized in the exact end of the snout. (fig. 4c). Dorsal gap of the marginal papillae 1.5 mm. Oral disc bordered by 41 (˜ 0.1 mm) marginal papillae except a short part near the emargination. One row of 10 submarginal papillae on the lower lip and one on each side of the upper lip. LTRF 1:3+4/1+1:2 (Dubois 1995) or [4–5](2–5)/3(1) (Altig & McDiarmid 1999); UTR1 and LTR3 with thinner and more teeth per millimetre (ca. 70–80/mm) than the rest (ca. 55–64/mm) and becoming shorter at the borders. From UTR2 on, they are separated by the upper jaw sheath. UTR5 only present on the right side but with big teeth (only 7/mm) LTR1 with a short gap. Jaw sheaths distinct and black, with serrated edges (ca. 60 on each jaw). Sheath of upper jaw gently curved in the middle, and lower jaw sheath resembling a wide V.
Second specimen of the series in stage 25; LTRF 5(2–5)/3(1); 64 marginal papillae; 2–4 submarginal papillae on each side of the upper lip and 12–13 on the lower lip. Coloration, general and oral disc morphology similar to the DNA voucher specimen.

Hemidactylus

description: Hemidactylus Gray
Hemidactylus, with at least 85 recognized species, is the second most specious genus of geckonid lizards. This genus is widely distributed throughout much of the Old World tropics and subtropics as well as in the Mediterranean region and in the American continents. Phylogenetic relationships within the genus have been addressed by Carranza and Arnold (2006). The ancestral lineage of the genus may have originated in Asia, which later spread to the Arabian-African region. Many species are associated with humans and are subject to passive transport as is the case with H. brookii (sensu lato), H. mabouia, H. turcicus, H. garnotii, and H. frenatus, which colonized the Mediterranean region, tropical Africa, much of the Americas and hundreds of islands in the Pacific, Indian, and Atlantic oceans.

description: The Deliverable D6.4 - Report on deployed and launched IRISCC interoperability framework with guidance documentation for service developers provides a high-level overview of the IRISCC Interoperability Framework, deployed under Work Package 6 (WP6) of the IRISCC project. The interoperability framework is built on the D4Science Virtual Research Environment (VRE). It supports collaborative research by offering a unified platform for data management, computational tools, and reproducibility.

At its core, the framework is accessible through the IRISCC VRE Gateway, a web portal available at https://iriscc.d4science.org. This gateway acts as a centralised access point for all services and resources, providing functionalities such as a Shared Workspace for collaborative file management, tailored Virtual Labs (VLabs) for the integration of research demonstrator tools, and user-friendly tools like Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio, Shiny Apps, and the Cloud Computing Platform (CCP) to facilitate advanced computational workflows. 

The framework is supported by a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) service that ensures secure and federated access through widely adopted protocols. Integration with external systems, such as the EGI Check-in service, enables cross-institutional collaboration, while secure access controls ensure consistency and compliance across all services.

The report also provides guidance for service developers, such as the IRISCC WP4 Demonstrators, on effectively leveraging the framework. Developers can utilise advanced tools to deploy customised services, containerised applications, and automated workflows. By relying on the framework’s infrastructure for critical functions such as authentication, authorisation, resource monitoring, and scalability, developers can focus on innovation and the creation of impactful solutions. Furthermore, the framework simplifies integration with external resources, enhances collaboration, and reduces operational complexity.
