Material examined. 39 ΨΨ, Mid­Atlantic Ridge, Turtle Pits site, chimney “Tower”, samples 123 ROV­5 and 123 ROV­6, 4°48.6’S, 12°22.4’W, depth 2992 m, washing of alvinocaridid shrimps (Rimicaris sp.), 11 April 2005 (Fig. 1 B). 316 ΨΨ, 2 copepodids (stage 1), 3 nauplii (described by Ivanenko, Martínez Arbizu & Stecher, submitted), Mid­ Atlantic Ridge, Red Lion site, chimney "Shrimps Farm", sample 146 ROV­6, 4°47.82’S, 12°22.60’W, depth 3048 m, washing of alvinocaridid shrimps (Rimicaris sp.) (Fig. 2 A–B), 16 April 2005.
Differential diagnosis. Inner margin of claw of both antenna and maxilliped pectinate. Segment 3 of exopod of leg 4 with 3 outer spines (formula III,I,4). Segment 2 of endopod of leg 4 with short terminal spine (armature formula of the segment I,1).
Remarks. S. pectinatus is a widespread species with females reported from three hydrothermal vent fields of the MAR and one site of the Mariana Back­Arc Basin (West Pacific); males are unknown. The females were found in the branchial chambers and in washings of alvinocaridid shrimps (Rimicaris exoculata and Chorocaris chacei) from TAG at 26°N and Snake Pit at 23°N (Humes 1987; Humes 1996). They were also found in plankton over Broken Spur at 29°N (Ivanenko 1998) and in washings of tubes of the polychaete Alvinella pompejana from the Marianna Back­Arc Basin (Humes 1990a).
Our observation of the alvinocaridid shrimps collected at 5ºS and the oral cone and the swimming legs of S. pectinatus collected on these shrimps supports the suggestion of Humes (1996) that females of this dirivultid live in the shrimps’ branchial chamber and feed on chemoautotrophic bacteria growing on the shrimp’s feeding appendages and the inner surface of branchial chamber (Van Dover et al. 1988; Segonzac et al.1993; Gebruk et al. 2000b). It is not clear if the copepods clean the branchial chamber off fouling bacteria or utilize bacterial food of the specialized shrimps.

Perennials, with long rhizomes. Stems, 16.5–25 cm tall, 0.9–1.1 mm in diameter near middle, trigonous, smooth. Leaves, flat, linear, glabrous, 7–9 on each flowering shoot, 24.2–31 cm long, usually as long as or slightly longer than the culms, 3–3.5 mm wide, sparingly serrrulate near base and tip, gradually tapering to an attenuate tip, ligule 1.5–2.5mm, basal sheaths brown. Spike solitary, androgynous, linear to linear-cylindrical, 3 cm long, 2–3.5 mm wide, the short staminate part 7–9 mm long. Pistillate glumes deciduous, membranous, lanceolate, glabrous, 4.5–5 mm long, 1.3–1.4 mm wide, apex acute, with a greenish middle strip and margins broadly hyaline, sometimes brown-tinged toward apex, 1 veined, persistent saccate stipe-like structure 0.7–0.8 mm long. Utricle 4.9–5 mm similar in length to glume, 1.1–1.4 mm wide, glabrous, beak narrowly conical, 1.5–2 mm long, many-veined with 2 prominent veins; rachilla with an exserted length of 5.9–6.6 mm, the apical hook 1.9–2.1 mm long. Nutlets 2.4–2.6 mm long, 0.8–1.1 mm wide, trigonous, oblong.
Distribution:—Northern Andes, reported from Colombia (Alzate and Sarrazola, 2018, Idárraga-Piedrahita et al., 2011) and Ecuador (Wheeler and Goetghebeur, 1995).
Ecology:—Montane Polylepis forest; 3800 m (Wheeler and Goetghebeur, 1995), paramo grasslands 3580 m (Alzate and Sarrazola, 2018), montane rainforest 3500–4000 m (Idárraga-Piedrahita et al., 2011).
Notes: Previously published descriptions of Carex subsacculata (Wheeler and Goetghebeur, 1997) stated that the saccate stipe-like proximal most part of the glume was shorter in C. subsacculata compared to C. firmula. This difference is not as pronounced in our study and there is overlap in this character in the three taxa. We found that the length of the stipe in C. subsacculata ranged from 0.5–1.1 mm, it is not less than 0.5 mm in any of our samples. An incidental observation from this study that requires a larger sample size for confirmation is that the leaf density in C. subsacculata appears higher than C. firmula and that the leaves in C. subsaculata overtop the inflorescence.

Differential diagnosis. Anterior part of genital double­somite laterally expanded and rounded. Caudal rami with ratio 1.9: 1 in female, 1.4: 1 in male. Leg 1 with inner coxal seta and with rounded inner margin of basis. Endopodal segment 3 of leg 2 with 2 terminal setae (formula 1,2,3) in female and 2 terminal spines (1,II,3) in male.
Remarks. The copepods of the genus Aphotopontius are not known in the western Pacific, but are common in the eastern Pacific: Nine of 10 species were recorded from eight sites situated from the equator (Galapagos Rift) to the 49°N (Explorer Ridge). A second species of Aphotopontius from the MAR, A. forcipatus Humes, 1987, was described from the Explorer Ridge and later recorded from the Snake Pit on the MAR (Humes 1996), the Gorda Ridge (Humes 1990b) and the Juan de Fuca Ridge (Humes & Huys 1992). The species can be distinguished from Aphotopontius atlanteus by the elongate caudal ramus (ratio 5.6:1) among other attributes.
Aphotopontius atlanteus was previously recorded in many samples from Lucky Strike and Menez Gwen at 37°N (Humes 1996; Humes 1997; Humes & Segonzac 1998). Aphotopontius temperatus Humes, 1997 described from Lucky Strike was synonymized with A. atlanteus by Ivanenko and Defaye (2006b).

title: The hidden impact of women on the agri-food sector in England, 1920-1960
Creators: name: Latherow, Tamisan Lynn
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: This study identifies the ‘typical’ employment barriers women faced within the Agri-Food sector from 
1920-1960 in England, along with how they worked within (and around) such barriers to create unique 
opportunities to provide localized change through education, social networks, Government policy, and 
public opinion. The most prevalent barriers being identified as legal constraints, a miss-match between 
education and employment, and public identification of feminine versus masculine spheres of influence.
A review of the historiography of women in the Agri-Food sector and literature surrounding the chosen 
case-study social networks (the Women’s Land Army and Women’s Institutes) indicates that the 
inclusion of Food and Nutritional Sciences has been relatively ignored, something this study begins to 
address. The thesis considers the use of a more inclusive gender critical framework for Mixed Methods 
researchers combining material culture analysis, critical gender historical analysis, ethnography, and a 
unique cookery book literary discourse analysis to compare the structure and function of the networks, 
their relationships with the State, and public perception across time. 
The results showed that women’s social networks that worked independently from Government 
oversite, yet partnered with the State on specific societal needs, enacted the most employment 
opportunities and changes in public opinion during the study period. We also found that such 
opportunities were greatest in the Distributive Trades and Food sector, compared to the Agricultural 
sector. However, we also found that there is a discrepancy in Government funding of education for 
women in the Agri-Food sector, and that historical (and current) promotion of women in higher 
education (university degrees) does not corelate to employment trends. Likewise, we found that there is 
a higher intergenerational knowledge transference around food and nutrition within social networks 
than without, and that such knowledge has dropped drastically over time. 
The contribution of women’s social networks in the larger scheme of Agri-Food employment, while 
hitherto largely overlooked, we found to be a primary driver for the removal of employment barriers. As 
such, from an employment perspective, the promotion of gender critical policies that promote such 
networks, especially around workforce development and rural development need to be considered 
when designing future Agri-Food sector policies.

Taxonomy

description: Leptanilloides is an uncommonly collected ant genus with subterranean habits in the New World Andean and sub-Andean tropics. With cryptic and eyeless worker ants, the genus was included in the ant subfamily Cerapachyinae (Brown 1975; Bolton 1990a, b) until Baroni Urbani et al. (1992) justified the establishment of a separate subfamily, Leptanilloidinae, hypothesized as the sister group to Cerapachyinae and all other members of the dorylomorphs. The only apomorphy for the new subfamily provided by Baroni Urbani et al. (l. c.) was the extremely reduced pygidium, represented by a small U-shaped sclerite.
Brandao, Diniz et al. (1999) expanded our understanding of Leptanilloidinae and described six new species that were arranged in two genera, Leptanilloides and Asphinctanilloides. The reassessment, based on external and sting characters, added five apomorphies supporting the subfamily: lateral blunt teeth on genae, metatibial gland absent, gonostylus fused to the posterior arm of the oblong plate, several microtrichia plus two longer sensillae at the presumed junction of gonostylus with posterior arm of oblong plate, and base of sting shaft with a pair of long setae. Brandao, Diniz et al. (l. c.) also established several apomorphies for both leptanilloidine genera. For Leptanilloides, two apomorphies were proposed: propodeal dorsum at least two times longer than declivity and abdominal segments 4 and 5 separated by a deep incision; while for Asphinctanilloides, five apomorphies were established: postpetiole extremely reduced in size with spiracle at midlength, spiracular plate median connection of the sting apparatus with bilobed anterior region, quadrate plate apodeme wider than body of the plate, fulcral arms absent, and basal ridge of sting not visible. Recently, Longino (2003) described a new species, Leptanilloides mckennae Longino, from Costa Rica. Leptanilloides mckennae expands the geographic distribution of the subfamily and also presents some characters (i.e. very small postpetiole and posterior shifted postpetiolar spiracle) that have been considered apomorphic for Asphinctanilloides.
The male caste of Leptanilloidinae was described recently by Ward (2006), who linked an unassociated male ant from a montane Costa Rican forest to L. mckennae workers using molecular data. Ward (l. c.) also discussed the molecular similarities of leptanilloidines to other dorylomorphs and the evolution and morphological convergences of ant assemblages living in subterranean habitats (see also Ward 1994; Lopez et al. 1994; Brady & Ward 2005). Brandao, Silva et al. (1999) review some aspects of the biology of this subfamily, including observations suggestive of nomadic habits.
