Curruca obscura

description: Curruca obscura Brehm
 Curruca obscura Brehm, 1855: 228 (In Greichenland).
 Now Sylvia curruca curruca (Linnaeus, 1758). See Hartert, 1918a: 32, and Shirihai et al., 2001: 121,132–136.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455624, male, collected in Attica, Greece, in April 1845, by A. Lindermayer. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: In the original description, Brehm indicated that his material was received from Lindermayer. Hartert (1918a: 32) listed the above specimen as the type, which in the absence of evidence of a holotype becomes the lectotype. It is the only specimen labeled obscura by Brehm that came to AMNH, and it is possible that it was the only Lindermayer specimen that he had, in which case it would be the holotype. Two additional specimens cataloged as obscura at AMNH are labeled assimilis by Brehm (see below).

description: Electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix assisted laser desorption-ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry were used to determine the composition (monomer ratios) and structure (end group analysis), relative to 1H NMR spectroscopy and theoretical predictions, for three different copolymers: poly(butyl acrylate/vinyl acetate) (PBA/PVAc), poly(methyl methacrylate/vinyl acetate) (PMMA/PVAc) and poly(butyl acrylate/methyl methacrylate) (PBA/PMMA). The ESI results were found to be in excellent agreement with 1H NMR spectroscopy for PBA/PVAc and PBA/PMMA copolymers whereas there was more divergence in the case of PMMA/PVAc. In the case of PBA/PMMA copolymers similar distributions of products were observed by ESI-MS and MALDI-MS; two major product classes were observed differing by their end-groups. One class has hydrogen and dodecylthio end groups while in the other the dodecylthio has been replaced by alpha-cyanoisopropyl from the initiator. The relative abundance of these distributions as a function of copolymer conversion for a series of reaction conditions was investigated by both ESI and MALDI. The collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra for a variety of chain lengths of four ionized polymer samples have been quantified according to their observed total relative fragment ion abundances. The CID mass spectra of oligomers of ionized PMMA with three different types of end groups and polystyrene, PS, were obtained at fixed centre-of-mass collision energies and collision numbers. For the PMMA polymers, the total fragment ion abundance increases with increasing chain length, consistent with an increase in internal energy deposition with size of the ion. A discontinuity in the increase in total fragment ion abundance appears to correspond to a change in conformation of the polymer ions from linear (at short chain lengths) to cyclic (at long chain lengths). Ionized PS does not exhibit this change in conformation as all chain lengths show compact structures and accordingly the total fragment ion abundance does not change with increasing chain length. Protonation of polymers in the gas-phase was achieved by the dissociation of proton-bound complexes of the oligomers with small peptides and amino acids. Protonated PMMA and PBA oligomers were shown to fragment in unique pathways that involved losses of neutral molecules from their side chains, until all that is left is a hydrocarbon backbone. For PMMA the neutrals were primarily CO and methanol, while for PBA butyl ether is lost. We also explored the threshold fragmentation of the proton-bound complexes as a function of the amino acid used (and its proton affinity) which allowed a kinetic bracketing of the oligomer PA as a function of chain length. The results were consistent with a change from bidentate to tridentate binding of the proton with increasing length of the PMMA oligomers.

description: Background: The EVIDENCE (EVidence of Interferon Dose-response: European North American Comparative Efficacy) study was an international, randomized, open-label, assessor-blinded, parallel-group study assessing the efficacy and tolerability of interferon (IFN) beta-1a, 44 mcg subcutaneously (sc) three times weekly (tiw), and IFN beta-1a, 30 mcg intramuscularly (im) once weekly (qw), in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The aim of this analysis was to assess whether reductions in T2 burden of disease (BOD) were greater for patients receiving IFN beta-1a, 44 mcg sc tiw, than for those treated with IFN beta-1a, 30 mcg im qw, and to assess the impact of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs). Methods: A post-hoc analysis was performed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data collected prospectively from the EVIDENCE study. The analysis included all patients with evaluable T2 MRI scans at the start of dosing and at week 48, and those who received at least one drug dose (n = 553). Lesions were identified by a radiologist blinded to treatment codes and the total volume of T2 lesions (BOD) was reported in mm3. Results: Both median percentage decreases and absolute reduction in BOD were greater in the IFN beta-1a, 44 mcg sc tiw, treatment group. The adjusted mean treatment difference in percentage change in BOD from baseline to week 48 showed a significant treatment benefit for patients treated with IFN beta-1a, 44 mcg sc tiw, over those treated with IFN beta-1a, 30 mcg im qw (-4.6%; standard error: 2.6%; p = 0.002). The presence of NAbs reduced the effect of IFN beta-1a 44, mcg sc tiw, on BOD, but BOD changes were still similar to those seen with IFN beta-1a, 30 mcg im qw. Conclusion: Patients with RRMS treated with IFN beta-1a, 44 mcg sc tiw, had greater reduction in T2 BOD after 48 weeks than those treated with IFN beta-1a, 30 mcg im qw, which is consistent with other clinical and MRI outcome measures in the EVIDENCE study. In patients testing positive for NAbs (NAb+) to IFN beta-1a 44 mcg sc tiw, changes in BOD were smaller than in NAb negative (NAb-) patients, but similar to those receiving IFN beta-1a, 30 mcg im qw.

description: Background: The osmole gap is used routinely as a screening test for the presence of exogenous osmotically active substances, such as the toxic alcohols ethylene glycol and methanol, particularly when the ability to measure serum concentrations of the substances is not available. The objectives of this study were: 1) to measure the diagnostic accuracy of the osmole gap for screening for ethylene glycol and methanol exposure, and 2) to identify whether a recently proposed modification of the ethanol coefficient affects the diagnostic accuracy. Methods: Electronic laboratory records from two tertiary-care hospitals were searched to identify all patients for whom a serum ethylene glycol and methanol measurement was ordered between January 1, 1996 and March 31, 2002. Cases were eligible for analysis if serum sodium, blood urea nitrogen, glucose, ethanol, ethylene glycol, methanol, and osmolality were measured simultaneously. Serum molarity was calculated using the Smithline and Gardner equation and ethanol coefficients of 1 and 1.25 mOsm/mM. The diagnostic accuracy of the osmole gap was evaluated for identifying patients with toxic alcohol levels above the recommended threshold for antidotal therapy and hemodialysis using receiver-operator characteristic curves, likelihood ratios, and positive and negative predictive values. Results: One hundred and thirty-one patients were included in the analysis, 20 of whom had ethylene glycol or methanol serum concentrations above the threshold for antidotal therapy. The use of an ethanol coefficient of 1.25 mOsm/mM yielded higher specificities and positive predictive values, without affecting sensitivity and negative predictive values. Employing an osmole gap threshold of 10 for the identification of patients requiring antidotal therapy resulted in a sensitivity of 0.9 and 0.85, and a specificity of 0.22 and 0. 5, with equations 1 and 2 respectively. The sensitivity increased to 1 for both equations for the identification of patients requiring dialysis. Conclusion: In this sample, an osmole gap threshold of 10 has a sensitivity and negative predictive value of 1 for identifying patients for whom hemodialysis is recommended, independent of the ethanol coefficient applied. In patients potentially requiring antidotal therapy, applying an ethanol coefficient of 1.25 resulted in a higher specificity and positive predictive value without compromising the sensitivity.

 Now Sylvia curruca curruca (Linnaeus, 1758). See Hartert, 1918a: 32, and Shirihai et al., 2001: 121, 132–136.
 LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455625, adult female, collected at Sennar on the Blue Nile (5 ‘‘blauen Fluss’’), Sudan, in December 1850, by A.E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 32) listed this specimen from the Blue Nile as the type of assimilis, thereby designating it the lectotype. Both Brehm, in the original description, and Hartert (1918a: 32) called attention to the unusual white marking on the outer rectrix of the lectotype. Three additional specimens were labeled assimilis by Brehm: paralectotypes AMNH 455619, female, collected at Edfu, Upper Egypt, 20 March 1850; AMNH 455621, female, from the Blue Nile, collected in December 1850; and AMNH 455622, male, collected at Sakle in Nubia, 22 September 1851.
According to R. Dowsett (personal commun.), the ‘‘Sennar’’ of the lectotype would have been Old Sennar, 13.40N, 33.33E.

 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 32) listed the Görlitz specimen as the type (5 lectotype). In a note on the Rothschild Collection label, he noted that it was collected by Tobias. I found only one additional specimen labeled superciliaris by Brehm: paralectotype AMNH 455618, a male collected at Renthendorf on 4 May 1850.

LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455522, adult male, collected at Ahlsdorf, Germany, in June 1824. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 31) listed this specimen as the type of undulata, thereby designating it the lectotype, but incorrectly listing it as having been described in the genus Sylvia. He also noted that it was collected by von Seyffertitz. There are three additional specimens from Ahlsdorf cataloged at AMNH. One, AMNH 455528, is labeled undulata by Brehm and is a paralectotype. The other two, AMNH 455526 and 455527, exchanged to ZMB, were collected at Ahlsdorf prior to the publication of the name and may also be paralectotypes.

description: Background: Microsporidia are well known models of extreme nuclear genome reduction and compaction. The smallest microsporidian genomes have received the most attention, but genomes of different species range in size from 2.3 Mb to 19.5 Mb and the nature of the larger genomes remains unknown. Results Here we have undertaken genome sequence surveys of two diverse microsporidia, Brachiola algerae and Edhazardia aedis. In both species we find very large intergenic regions, many transposable elements, and a low gene-density, all in contrast to the small, model microsporidian genomes. We also find no recognizable genes that are not also found in other surveyed or sequenced microsporidian genomes. Conclusion Our results demonstrate that microsporidian genome architecture varies greatly between microsporidia. Much of the genome size difference could be accounted for by non-coding material, such as intergenic spaces and retrotransposons, and this suggests that the forces dictating genome size may vary across the phylum.

description: A l'ère de l'économie de la connaissance, les musées se tournent vers la numérisation et les technologies de l'information et de la communication afin de rendre accessible leur collection en ligne. Cette nouvelle pratique que nous nommons cybermuséologie permetelle de protéger et de diffuser de façon novatrice le patrimoine immatériel, c'est-à-dire l'héritage culturel? Comparable à la connaissance tacite, la transmission des savoirs culturels fait face aux problèmes de reproduction et de codification. Une démarche exploratoire nous a permis d'approfondir ce nouveau phénomène du point de vue de la diffusion. Ainsi, la triangulation des résultats de l'observation des sites Internet de deux musées canadiens d'envergure internationale, d'entrevues avec leur responsable respectif et d'une entrevue avec le directeur d'une entreprise de conception privée oeuvrant dans le domaine s'est révélée des plus pertinentes. La cybermuséologie permet en effet le transfert de certains savoirs et de savoir-faire, mais d'une façon limitée. Toutefois, plusieurs limites pourraient éclater grâce à l'intégration prochaine de nouvelles technologies favorisant la participation des usagers. Ce portrait de deux institutions canadiennes, nous permet de mieux comprendre ce qu'est la cybermuséologie et d'anticiper son développement.

description: Curruca orphea griseocapilla A.E. Brehm
 Curruca orphea griseocapilla A.E. Brehm, 1857: 464 (Spain).
 Now Sylvia hortensis hortensis (Gmelin, 1789). See Hartert, 1918a: 31, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 697.
SYNTYPES: AMNH 455530, male, 18 July 1856; AMNH 455531, female immature, 21 June 1856; and AMNH 455541, female, 12 July 1856, all collected at Jativa, 39.00N, 00.32W (Times Atlas), Valencia, Spain. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 31) considered specimens now numbered AMNH 455539 and 455540 to be syntypes of Curruca vidali, Curruca caniceps, and C. orphea griseocapilla, but see above for discussion of the first two names. A.E. Brehm (1857: 464) noted that his new subspecies, griseocapilla, was the gray-headed form, found in Catalonia and Valencia, and that he had several times collected mated pairs. However, he did not further identify his specimens or designate a type; therefore, all of his gray-headed specimens from those localities are syntypes. Because the original field label has been removed from AMNH 455541, there is some question as to the collector; however, the locality and date are consistent with its having been collected by A.E. Brehm.
In addition to the above three specimens, there are in AMNH a further five collected by A.E. Brehm in Masneu in Catalonia, but these are not of the gray-headed form.
 A.E. Brehm’s name Curruca orphea griseocapilla appeared in the last half of his paper on his Spanish collection and was published in 1857 (LeCroy, 2003: 24).
 Shirihai et al. (2001: 157, 167–168) considered S. hortensis and S. crassirostris to be allospecies of the superspecies hortensis.

 Curruca musica Brehm, 1855: 228 (Sie kommt warscheinlich aus Südosteuropa und Asien nach Sennaar).
 Now Sylvia hortensis crassirostris Cretzschmar, 1930. See Hartert, 1918a: 32, and del Hoyo et al., 2006: 697.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455543, adult male, collected on the Blue Nile, Sennar, Sudan, on 14 February (not September) 1850, by A.E. Brehm. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Brehm did not indicate how many specimens he had; the above specimen was listed as the type of musica by Hartert (1918a: 32), thereby designating it the lectotype. I did not find other specimens labeled musica by Brehm.
The collecting locality on the lectotype is written as ‘‘Baeher el Asrak’’. According to Seltzer (1962: 232), this is Bahr el Azraq, Arabic for the Blue Nile. The collecting locality would have been Old Sennar, 13.40N, 33.33E (R. Dowsett, personal commun.). The date on the original label is ‘‘14 Fbr [1]850’’, miscopied onto the Rothschild label as 14 September 1850. Also, this is another case in which C.L. Brehm apparently decided to change the sex given on the original label. It was originally sexed as a female on A.E. Brehm’s field label, with a male symbol written over the female symbol by C.L. Brehm. This was correctly copied onto the Rothschild Collection label, but incorrectly identified as a male on the Rothschild type label (and changed to a female by hand unknown). It was listed as a female by Hartert (1918a: 32), who rarely questioned information provided by A.E. Brehm.
 Steinheimer (2005: 211) provided a corrected date for Cretzschmar’s description of S. h. crassirostris.
 Shirihai et al. (2001: 157) considered S. hortensis and S. crassirostris allospecies of the superspecies hortensis.

Inhibition of solute crystallisation in aqueous H+-NH4+-SO42--H2O droplets.

description: Ice clouds in the Earth’s upper troposphere can form via homogeneous nucleation of ice in aqueous droplets. In this study we investigate the crystallisation, or lack of crystallisation, of the solute phase and ice in aqueous (NH4)3H(SO4)2/H2O and NH4HSO4/H2O droplets. This is done using in situ X-ray diffraction of emulsified solution droplets mounted on a cold stage. From the diffraction patterns we are able to identify the phases of crystalline solute and ice that form after homogeneous freezing in micrometer sized droplets. An important finding from this study is that crystallisation of the solute does not always occur, even when crystallisation is strongly thermodynamically favoured. The nucleation and growth of solute phase crystals becomes inhibited since the viscosity of the aqueous brine most likely increases dramatically as the brine concentration increases and temperature decreases. If ice nucleates below a threshold freezing temperature, the brine appears to rapidly become so viscous that solute crystallisation is inhibited. This threshold temperature is 192 K and 180 K, in (NH4)3H(SO4)2 and NH4HSO4, respectively. We also speculate that the formation of cubic ice within a highly viscous brine blocks the solvent mediated cubic to hexagonal phase transformation, thus stabilising the metastable cubic ice in the most concentrated solution droplets.

description: This work is based on the Indigenous Australian story of Tiddalik the giant frog. One day Tiddalik decided to drink all of the fresh water in the world, causing him to become a giant frog. All of the other animals noticed how dry and dead everything became after that and sought out to find a way to return the water to the world. One by one they tried to get Tiddalik to laugh, hoping that that would cause the giant frog to accidently release all of the water he had taken. No one was succeeding. Then one day Nabunum, the eel, came out of the dry mud and danced in front of Tiddalik, tying himself into all sorts of knots. Finally this worked and Tiddalik released all of the water back into the world with his laugh at Nabunum’s antics.
The determinants of prescription drug expenditure … and what to do about them

description: Pharmaceuticals are a major part of health care in Canada. They represent one of the largest and fastest growing components of health spending. Next year, Canadians will spend roughly $30 billion on pharmaceuticals in the community setting. This represents nearly two-thirds of what we will spend on hospital care (including drugs provided in hospitals) and 50% more than what we will spend on physicians’ services. It also represents three times what we spent on drugs ten years ago. Drug spending may be viewed as an investment that is made by public and private payers with the intent to improve the health of patients and/or to reduce demands for other health care services. Given that current annual growth in Canadian pharmaceutical expenditure could otherwise pay for the services of 10,000 primary care practitioners (at $200,000/yr), one would expect that there was clear evidence and data to indicate that the increase in drug spending generates significant gains to our population health and the health care system. In this paper I review the historical context of drug spending in Canada and provide a summary of the literature describing the underlying causes of drug spending trends.

 Curruca luctuosa Brehm, 1855: 229 (In Dalmatien).
 Now Sylvia melanocephala melanocephala (Gmelin, 1789). See Hartert, 1918a: 32, and Shirihai et al., 2001: 403–413.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455649, adult male, collected in Dalmatia, Croatia, on 12 May 1829. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 32) listed this specimen the type of luctuosa, thereby designating it the lectotype; it is labeled luctuosa by Brehm. I did not find other specimens so labeled; a second specimen from Dalmatia, AMNH 455650, was labeled longirostris by Brehm. I do not consider it a paralectotype.

 Now Sylvia cantillans albistriata (Brehm, 1855). See Hartert, 1918a: 33, and Shirihai et al., 2001: 380–381.
LECTOTYPE: AMNH 455634, adult male, collected in Egypt, undated. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 33) listed this undated specimen as the type of albistriata, thereby designating it the lectotype, but there is some doubt about its status. It was first labeled Curruca rufigularis by Brehm; rufigularis was marked out and albistriata added and then marked out by Brehm. On the reverse of this label, Brehm wrote the name Curruca leucopogon orientalis. I found no other Brehm specimen in the collection labeled albistriata and provisionally accept this specimen as the lectotype.

Le discours culturel des essayistes québécois (1960--2000)
Creators: name: Caumartin, Anne
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Literature, Canadian (French).

description: Depuis une vingtaine d'années au Québec, la culture est régulièrement convoquée pour répondre à la perpétuelle interrogation des discours sur l'identité. Selon la fortune qu'on accorde au peuple québécois, l'idée qu'on se fait de la culture québécoise (son état, son parcours) est à l'avenant, servant le plus souvent de caution argumentative. Dans le but de déceler comment, progressivement, la culture contemporaine au Québec (1960--2000) s'est donnée à penser, comment et à partir de quelles situations on a articulé un discours sur des idéaux et des actions culturels qui ultimement permettent d'imaginer une communauté, cette thèse propose de retracer comment la culture québécoise a été vue par ses témoins privilégiés que sont les essayistes. Le discours objectalisant propre à l'essai et sa fonction argumentative permettent d'examiner quelles logiques instituent dans le champ culturel des conditions de changement. L'hypothèse avancée est que depuis la Révolution tranquille se distinguent trois moments de la pensée essayistique qui peuvent expliquer l'évolution de l'idée de culture au Québec. La seconde hypothèse qui supporte la première est que se repèrent dans les modes d'argumentation mêmes de ces familles d'essayistes les indices de visions du monde distinctes (au sens goldmannien). Pour ce faire, la rhétorique de sept essayistes marquants est étudiée dans une perspective générationnelle: (1) la génération des classiques, qui lance ses appels répétés à une nécessaire transformation ou refondation culturelle, est représentée par Jean Le Moyne et Pierre Vadeboncoeur, (2) la génération de la centralité, celle qui définit véritablement la culture québécoise en la refaisant autour d'elle, est représentée par André Belleau, Jacques Godbout et Madeleine Ouellette-Michalska; (3) la génération de l'étrangeté, qui exploite une esthétique de l'interrogation, est représentée par Naïm Kattan et Régine Robin.

The role of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) as biological vectors of contaminants
Creators: name: Krummel, Eva M
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Environmental Sciences.

description: When considering pathways of contaminants to pristine areas, the focus has been largely on atmospheric and oceanic transfer. In this study, sediment cores were used to study a far less investigated but very effective pathway of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) to pristine ecosystems: the biotransport by migrating sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). To quantify the importance of salmon as a biotransporter of contaminants, surface sediments of lakes in Alaska and British Columbia spanning a wide gradient of salmon returns (0--40,000 salmon per km2) were analyzed. Regressions of contaminant concentrations in the surface sediments with the number of returning salmon revealed a very strong, positive relationship. Especially for the lakes that received high numbers of spawners, sockeye salmon were found to be a more important source of PCBs (Polychorinated biphenyls) than the atmosphere. Furthermore, the quality of the relationship of PCB concentration with sockeye salmon spawners was found to be best for PCB congeners that are most abundant in sockeye salmon muscle tissue. Down-core profiles were analyzed to examine if the relationship between contaminant concentrations and sockeye salmon numbers can also be found historically within a lake. To investigate this question, contaminant concentrations in the 210Pb dated sediments were compared to historical sockeye salmon counts provided by authorities in Alaska and British Columbia. The results indicate that although it is possible to find the relationship between sockeye salmon spawners and contaminant concentration in down-core profiles, it is influenced by numerous factors. Such factors can arise from contaminant patterns that result from sources other than salmon, or simply very low sedimentation rates, which lead to very low resolutions in the down-core profiles.

Curruca obsoleta

 Curruca obsoleta Brehm, 1855: 229 (Oberitalien).
 Now Sylvia undata undata (Boddaert, 1783). See Hartert, 1918a: 33, and Shirihai et al., 2001: 273–275.
Probable Lectotype: AMNH 455652, female, collected in Italy in September 1829. From the Brehm Collection via the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert (1918a: 33), when listing this specimen as the type of obsoleta, said ‘‘The words ‘oben tiefgrau’ in the description do not well suit this specimen, which is really brown on the upperside, but I believe that ‘tiefgrau’ is a slip, misprint or fault.’’ Also, while the name obsoleta appears in Brehm’s hand on his label, along with other names, it has been marked out. I did not find any other Brehm specimens labeled obsoleta, and it is possible that the difference in color is related to foxing of the specimen.
 The spelling of this name in the original description was ‘‘ obceleta ’’; however, the index to this volume (Brehm, 1855: xviii) spells the name ‘‘ obsoleta ’’ and refers the reader to p. 229. According to the Code (ICZN, 1999: 39, Art. 32.5.1), this serves as clear evidence of an inadvertent error and must be corrected. Hartert (1918a: 33) did so without comment.

Nietzsche and Novalis on language as trope
Creators: name: Ezekiel, Anna
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.
subject: Language, General.

description: A critical comparison of the theories of language of Friedrich Nietzsche and the Early German Romantic Novalis (Friedrich von Hardenberg) based on their models of language as trope. Six forms of trope are used to show how language functions for each thinker and to provide a precise framework for comparison. It is found that both present similar notions of language as tropic in nature, that is to say as fundamentally creative and subjective, but that while for Novalis this underlies the possibility of genuine knowledge and communication, for Nietzsche it undermines these. Novalis' acceptance of trope in language allows him to present a model of the human subject in communion with other human beings, nature, and the divine, while Nietzsche's rejection of the validity of trope results in his essentially negative and isolating philosophy of the subject.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 596602, adult unsexed, collected south of Biskra, 34.50N, 05.41E (Times Atlas), Algeria, on 14 January 1903, by E. Flückiger (no. 327). From the Rothschild Collection.
 COMMENTS: Hartert cited Flückiger’s unique field number for the holotype in the original description. He did not say how many specimens he examined; however, he gave the range of the form as ‘‘ Algerien, Marokko, Tunis’ ’ and examined specimens in collections in London, Ingelheim, and Liverpool besides Rothschild specimens. There are only two possible paratypes that were in the Rothschild Collection prior to the description of toni. AMNH 596601, female, was collected at ‘‘El-Dimd-Safsaf’’, west Algeria, on 13 April 1851, by an unknown collector; AMNH 596620, male, was collected in spring (1836?) in Algeria. Hartert has noted on the label ‘‘ Coll. Riocour par Petit, from Loche’ ’ and ‘‘looks as brown as dartfordiansis !’’ I have no information about when these specimens were acquired by Rothschild.

MORE IS MORE OR LESS IS MORE? INFLUENCE OF TRAINING DURATION ON LEARNING NOISE-VOCODED SPEECH

description: Multiple studies have shown that repeated exposure to auditory training improves listeners’ ability to recognize degraded speech signals. Noise-vocoded speech is a type of auditory manipulation that limits the amount of frequency information available in the speech signal and approximates the listening experience of a cochlear implant user. Previous research on noise-vocoded speech has found that normal hearing listeners require a training period to improve their perception of the degraded speech signal. However, there are open questions as to how to best optimize the training paradigms that help people adapt to degraded speech signals. Namely, there is little information available on how much auditory training is needed to produce beneficial gains. In the current study, we recruited normal hearing listeners and assigned them to one of three training groups: short training, medium training, and long training. We tested their transcription of noise-vocoded sentences, immediately before training and immediately after training. We hypothesized that the more training the participants received, the better they would become at comprehending and adapting to noise-vocoded speech. In other words, we predicted that the group who is subjected to the highest amount of training would outperform the groups who received less training. Alternatively, we hypothesized that listeners may experience a plateau effect in comprehension benefit after a short amount of training. Results from this study lay the foundation for translational rehabilitation for patients adapting to novel speech signals in terms of knowing how much auditory training is sufficient to improve speech recognition abilities.
