Black-clawed Brush-furred Rat
Lophuromys melanonyx
French: Rat-hérissé a griffes noires / German: Schwarzkrallen-Birstenhaarmaus / Spanish: Rata de pelaje de cepillo de unas negras
Taxonomy. Lophuromys melanonyx Petter, 1972,
Dinshu,Bale District, Ethiopia.
Lophuromys melanonyx was placed into the L.flavopunctatus species complex and then further rehabilitated as a valid species following description of unique karyology, a mtDNA phylogeny, and morphometric analyses. Nevertheless, genetic distances are quite small with L. menagashae, and additional molecular analyses are required to verify status of these two Ethiopian endemic rodents. Monotypic.
Distribution. Rift Valley highlands, C & S Ethiopia.
Descriptive notes. Head—body 120-180 mm, tail 30-99 mm, ear 19-26 mm, hindfoot 21-25 mm; weight 60-142 g. The Black-clawed Brush-furred Rat is one of the largest species of Lophuromys. Dorsum is gray-brown and speckled with cream spots. Venter is white pale yellow. Feet are white, with long black claws. Tail is very short, ¢.43% of head-body length. Skull is large, with proodont incisors. Females have two pairs of inguinal mammae. Standard karyotype is of 2n = 60.
Habitat. Afro-alpine moorland at elevations above 3200 m.
Food and Feeding. Analyses of the stomachs of Black-clawed Brush-furred Rats show a vegetarian diet of 93% dicotyledonous herbs and 2% monocotyledonous leaves, 3% seeds, and 2% insects.
Breeding. Female Black-clawed Brush-furred Rats can have two litters/year (average 1-9 embryos). Breeding season peaks at the beginning of wet seasons.
Activity patterns. The Black-clawed Brush-furred Rat is diurnal and active between 08:00 and 18:00 h.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. Black-clawed Brush-furred Rats can dig burrows using their long claws and proodont incisors. They probably live in colonies with another Murinae, Blick’s Grass Rat (Arvicanthis blicki). Density estimates of Black-clawed Brush-furred Rats were 102-658 ind/ha in the Bale Mountains.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Vulnerable on The IUCN Red List. The Blackclawed Brush-furred Rat has a small and fragmented distribution, and its natural habitats have decreased.

(Figs 27; 30; 32J; Table 28)
MATERIAL EXAMINED. — Norfolk Ridge. SMIB 4, stn DW 60, 23°00.1’- 22°59.4’S, 167°21.6’- 167°21.7’E, 500-535 m, 10.III.1989, 1 stem c. 11 mm high, holotype (MNHN-Hy.2009-0173).
Coppiniae without defensive tubes. Gonothecae flask-shaped, tightly set together and with coalesced walls (Fig. 26D, E). Diameter strongly decreasing distally, forming a short neck (Fig. 26E) with a circular aperture (Fig. 26D, E).
ETYMOLOGY. — The specific name pygmaea, latinization of the Greek adjective “pygmeios”, small, refers to the dwarf hydrothecae; it follows in gender the (feminine) genus name.
ECOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION. — Acryptolaria pygmaea n. sp. was collected at depths between 500 and 535 m in the Norfolk Ridge area.
DESCRIPTION
Stem 11 mm high, in bad condition and with extremely fragile perisarc.The stem has only two primary branches, each with a secondary branch (Fig. 32J).
Hydrothecae alternately arranged in approximately one plane (Fig. 27A), tubular, practically cylindrincal (Fig. 27); diameter decreasing only in the extreme basal part. Hydrotheca smoothly curved outwards, adcauline wall convex,adnate over a variable extension, from about one-half to five-sixths of its lengh (adnate/ free ratio 1.3-5.3); abcauline wall concave, though straight or slightly convex in its basal part.Hydrothecal aperture circular and directed outwards, virtually parallel to long axis of branches; rim even.
Large nematocysts relatively very large and fusiform (Fig. 30).
Coppinia not observed.
REMARKS
Notwithstanding the scarcity of material, we consider that Acryptolaria pygmaea n. sp. is an easily identifiable species. It is well characterized by its relatively tiny hydrothecae and huge nematocysts. It is allied to A.minuta and A.minima in the size of the hydrothecae, being closer to the former by the relatively long and thin hydrothecae.However, it is easily distinguishable from these two species by the size of the nematocysts that are distinctly larger than those of A.minima (25.8 × 9.8 µm in the holotype) and much larger than those of A. minuta (16.7 × 6.3 µm in the holotype).

Male sexual system holandric, testes in x and xi; seminal vesicles in xi and xii. Prostates small in xviii, round-shaped extending xvii to xix (Fig. 3 c). Spermatheca single in v–vii; ampulla ovoid, adiverticulate or diverticulate (Fig. 3 b).
Etymology. This species is named after the aboriginal tribe, the Tao Tribe (= Yami Tribe), who dwell on the island of Lanyu. The name is used as a noun in apposition.
Remarks. Pithemera tao sp. nov. is similar to P. bicincta (Perrier, 1875), P. palaoensis (Ohfuchi, 1941), P. philippinensis James, Hong & Kim, 2004, P. sedgwicki sedgwicki (Benham, 1897), and P. sempoensis (Kobayashi, 1938), but can be distinguished by the spermathecal pore and spermatheca. P. bicincta, and P. philippinensis have 5 pairs of spermathecal pores at 4/5–8/9. Pithemera sedgwicki sedgwicki and P. sempoensis have 3 pairs of spermathecal pores at 5/6–7/8. Pithemera palaoensis has 3 pairs of spermathecal pores at 4/5–6/7. All of the above species have paired spermathecal pores and spermathecae with diverticula. Pithemera tao has only a single spermathecal pore at 4/5–6/7.

Material examined. 4 adults, NCHUZOOL 13501, 23°57’52.9”N, 121°29’57.2”E, 150 m, Tongmen, Sioulin, Hualien Co., Taiwan, coll. Y.-H. Wang et al., 1 Jan. 2005.
Diagnosis. Dimensions 27–36 mm by 1.4–1.6 mm in x. Segments, 100–118. Setae distributed in ventral; 2 setae a pair; 4 pairs in ventral. Prostomium, epilobic (Fig. 4 b); segments without secondary annulation. First dorsal pore at 5/6, spermathecal pore 2 pairs, mid-ventral at 7/8–8/9. Female pore not visible. A genital marking mid-ventral at 15/16, with a pore. Male pores on mid-xvii, coin-shaped; without setae between male pores; without penial setae. Clitellum, xiii–xx or xiii–xx 1/2 (Fig. 4 a). Spermathecae paired. Ampulla with diverticulum in viii and ix (Fig. 4 c). Prostates, longitudinal in xvi–xviii (Fig. 4 d). Gizzards large in vii–viii and ix–x.
Remarks. The specimens in our study are small in size, although the clitellum is developed. Dichogaster saliens (Beddard, 1893) is close to D. affinis (Michaelsen, 1890), D. annae (Horst, 1893), and D. bolaui (Michaelsen, 1891) (Table 2), but they can be separated by the genital marking and the shape of the male pores. According to Michaelsen (1900) and Sims & Gerard (1985), the male pores of D. bolaui are stripshaped on xviii without genital marking. Stephenson (1931a) reported the male pores of D. annae are on xvii– xix without genital marking. Shen & Tsai (2007) reported D. saliens from Changhua Co. in west-central Taiwan with the following characters: the diamond-shaped male pores are on xvii with genital marking between 15 and 16. Shen et al. (2008a) reported D. affinis from Yunlin Co. in west-central Taiwan with the following characters: the bracket-shaped male pores are on xviii with genital markings at the middle of 7/8-9/ 10 (Table 2). The specimens collected from eastern Taiwan were identified as D. saliens, but there is a pore within the genital marking between 15 and 16. Specimens were collected from wet soil near the roots of reeds.

description: Studies of the formation of Landau levels based on the Schrödinger equation for electrons constrained to curved surfaces have a long history. These include as prime examples surfaces with constant positive and negative curvature, the sphere [Phys. Rev. Lett. 51, 605 (1983)] and the pseudosphere [Annals of Physics 173, 185 (1987)]. Now, topological insulators, hosting Dirac-type surface states, provide a unique platform to experimentally examine such quantum Hall physics in curved space. Hence, extending previous work we consider solutions of the Dirac equation for the pseudosphere for both, the case of an overall perpendicular magnetic field and a homogeneous coaxial, thereby locally varying, magnetic field. For both magnetic-field configurations, we provide analytical solutions for spectra and eigenstates. For the experimentally relevant case of a coaxial magnetic field we find that the Landau levels split and show a peculiar scaling ~B^1/4, thereby characteristically differing from the usual linear B and B^1/2 dependence of the planar Schrödinger and Dirac case, respectively. We compare our analytical findings to numerical results that we also extend to the case of the Minding surface.

description: This module is composed of three related activities that introduce students to climate change's complexity from a conceptual standpoint. In the first activity, students work in small groups to explore the global nature of climate change by locating climate change impacts and drivers on a world map. In the second and third activities, students make a concept map and explain common climate change terms. The activities clarify the interactions between people, biology, and the physical aspects of the Earth with respect to the causes and consequences of climate change. A basic understanding of greenhouse gases and their primary emission sources is beneficial, but the small group activities will enable students and teachers to coteach each other about the topics so the module will accommodate students and facilitators with different background knowledge. These highly interactive small group activities emphasize collaborative learning and are suitable for high school, introductory college, and for community teach-in events.

description: Abstract

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the Basic Mathematics Enhancement Program (BMEP) in improving first-year BSED mathematics students' arithmetic proficiency and overall academic performance. Mathematics plays a vital role in students' personal, societal, and scientific lives. However, many students need help with fundamental arithmetic concepts, which impacts their academic progress. To address these challenges, the BMEP utilizes innovative strategies such as blended learning, individual hands-on recitations, and small group training. The study was conducted at Monkayo College of Arts, Sciences, and Technology, with 58 first-year BSED mathematics students as participants. Pretest and post-test evaluations were employed for data collection, adhering to ethical guidelines. The results revealed a significant improvement in students' math proficiency after the program's implementation, highlighting the effectiveness of targeted intervention plans in fostering a deeper understanding of fundamental arithmetic concepts. These findings provide valuable insights for educators and school administrators to develop effective intervention plans for students facing challenges in mathematics.
