description: Weather extremes and the consequences for tropical coral reefs - using the example of the Australian Great Barrier Reef :

Coral reefs are known to be highly sensitive to climate change. Here we review the rates of climate change, and its different forms of impacts on coral reefs and its associated organisms, using the well-studied Australian Great Barrier Reef as a case study. We demonstrate that of all climate change related factors, it is the intensification of weather events (namely marine heat waves, tropical storms and more extreme rainfall events), that contribute most to the climate related acute damage on reef ecosystems. In contrast, the cumulative effects of the more gradual climate changes (namely the increasing mean temperature and sea level and ocean acidification), together with other anthropogenic changes, significantly slow the recovery of reefs from the intensifying acute disturbances on the Great Barrier Reef.

Plate 3: figs 2–3
Material.
1 specimen from Saal, SNSB – BSPG 2016 XXI 1717.
Description.
Shell trochiform; illustrated specimen 14 mm high; whorls weakly convex, evenly expanding; earliest preserved whorl with two nodular spiral cords, one in suprasutural position, other spiral cord between edge and abapical suture; a further spiral cord soon appears above edge; this spiral cord is initially weaker than the other cords but rapidly becomes as strong as other cords; suture somewhat deflected downward on the last part of last whorl, so that another spiral cord becomes exposed on penultimate whorl; edge becomes weaker, and changes to a regular spiral cord on last whorl so that whorl face becomes convex with evenly rounded transition to base; base narrowly phaneromphalous, weakly convex, covered with ca. 10 spiral cords that are somewhat weaker than those on whorl face; all spiral cords bear fine tubercles that are elongated in prosocline direction; details of round aperture not preserved.
Remarks.
In Caryomphalus concavus Gründel, Keupp & Lang, 2017, the late whorls are more rapidly increasing (more concave flanks of shell); it has axial ribs on the early whorls, and the inner spiral cords on the base are separated by wider interspaces than the outer spiral cords.

Type locality. Cayenne, French Guiana.
Remarks. The species was recently assigned to Guyalna (Sanborn 2016) based on the three-segmented tarsi, rounded timbal cover apex (Fig. 2), pronotum shorter than mesonotum, head as wide or slightly wider than the mesonotum and slightly protruding eyes as listed by Boulard & Martinelli (1996) as characteristic of the genus Guyalna. In addition, the lack of a cruciform elevation notched in the form of a more or less open semicircle as listed by Delétang (1919) as characteristic of Dorisiana and the lack of a tapered, triangular timbal cover listed as characteristic of Dorisiana by Boulard & Marinelli (1996) mean the species cannot be assigned to Dorisiana. Body length 19–23 mm, fore wing length 33–37 mm.
Distribution. The species has been reported under various names from Brazil Colombia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Nicaragua, and Panama (Metcalf 1963a; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Boulard 1996; 1998; 2005; 2006; Martinelli & Zucchi 1997; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2014; Sanborn & Maes 2012; Maes et al. 2012).

title: Work-Family Predictors of Parenting Outcomes

Year: 2007

description: The purpose of the present study was to examine the direct relationship between stress (i.e., economic strain and work-family conflict) and parenting outcomes (i.e., parenting satisfaction, authoritative parenting and authoritarian parenting), and how social support moderates the relationship between the two predictors (i.e., work-family conflict and economic strain) and the three parenting outcomes. Participants included 135 parents who were workers. They completed questionnaires that assessed work-family conflict, economic strain, social support, parenting satisfaction and parenting style. The researcher hypothesized that for participants who face multiple demanding roles (i.e., worker and parent), work-family conflict and economic pressure would be negatively related to parenting satisfaction and authoritative parenting and positively related to authoritarian parenting, and that social support would be positively related to parenting satisfaction and authoritative parenting and negatively related to authoritarian parenting. In addition, the researcher hypothesized that social support would moderate the relationship between stress (i.e., economic strain and work-family conflict) and parenting outcomes (i.e., parenting style and parenting satisfaction) such that at higher levels of social support the negative impact of economic strain and work-family conflict on parenting outcomes would be reduced. Hypotheses were tested using Pearson's r correlations and hierarchical multiple regressions. Partially supporting the researcher's hypotheses, a positive relationship between social support and parenting satisfaction was found, and a negative relationship between the two stress variables (i.e., economic strain and work-family conflict) and parenting satisfaction was found. Also, at p < .01, a positive relationship was found between social support and authoritative parenting, as predicted in hypothesis three. Although social support moderating the relationship between stress and parenting outcomes was not supported, regression analyses did yield social support to be a significant positive predictor of parenting satisfaction and authoritative parenting, and work-family conflict to be a significant negative predictor of parenting satisfaction. Since social support was found to be significantly positively related to parenting satisfaction and authoritative parenting, and work-family conflict and family-work conflict were found to be negatively related to parenting satisfaction, programs should be implemented to educate employers on the positive effects of social support for individuals who are involved in multiple roles.

subject: Clinical psychology

description:  
    The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted various aspects of life, but questions about its effects on intimate relationships, particularly among unmarried cohabitating romantic couples, remain largely unanswered. Relationship satisfaction among unmarried cohabitating individuals is important to understand as it impacts our mental health and well-being. In the present study, unmarried participants who cohabitate with their romantic partners were asked about relationship satisfaction over the course of the pandemic to examine if changes in relationship satisfaction occurred. This longitudinal study had a retrospective and prospective component using a sample size of 80 individuals across the United States. Participants were asked to respond to online questionnaires on various social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp by completing a demographics questionnaire and a Relationship Assessment Scale. A one-group repeated measures ANOVA was utilized to compare individuals in unmarried cohabitating relationships’ perceptions of relationship satisfaction at three-time periods: pre-pandemic, during the pandemic, and current perceptions to see if there was a main effect of Time. Results indicated that relationship satisfaction levels differed significantly over time. 
    Additionally, post-hoc paired samples t-tests were used to compare relationship satisfaction between time periods to determine when and in what direction significant changes in relationship satisfaction occurred. Findings indicated that there were significant changes in relationship satisfaction at the three time periods. Specifically, relationship satisfaction declined during the pandemic, but surpassed pre-pandemic levels of satisfaction at the current time period. These findings have important implications in the assessment and treatment of unmarried cohabitating romantic relationships.

Sepia barffi

description: Sepia barffi Curtiss, 1938, a synonym of Octopus cyanea Gray, 1849
Original description (pp. 187, 188). “The Tahiti octopus or eight-armed cuttle is usually about the size of a man’s fist, with eight legs dangling down, and no tentacles besides. The web at the base of the legs does not come far down, and there are no horns. The body is rounded at the rear, with no fins. Both body and legs are gray, with the sucking disks reddish. At breeding-time one of the legs of the male octopus swells up and serves him as a prick or intromittent organ; it is jerked loose by the female, who carries it away, and so seven-legged octopusses are sometimes seen. The Tahiti octopus is tough, and must be pounded before it is cooked; but, if properly prepared, it is just as good as those of Italy or Gibraltar. It is common on the barrier-reef, and is called by the Indians feé. (Sepia barffi. (In the sea, near Tautira.))”.
Identity. The description of the Tahiti octopus provided by Curtiss seems to agree well with Octopus cyanea Gray, 1849, even though we acknowledge that the colouration of living animals can be variable. Males of Octopus cyanea are known to wave a raised and coiled modified arm tip at the females during courtship displays (Norman 2000), which also agrees with Curtiss’s observation on the apparent swelling of a leg in males during the breeding season. Octopus cyanea is one of the most common near shore species on the coral reefs of the tropical Indo- Pacific, and the animals are collected and sold in fish markets in the central and southern Pacific (Norman 1998).

Sepia flagellata

description: Sepia flagellata Curtiss, 1938, an unavailable name based on a hypothetical concept
Original description (p. 188). “The feé árava, as the Indians call it, is said to be a twelve-armed species of cuttle that comes out of the ocean at night, and feeds on turds, small rats, and other nasty things. I never saw one, and it may be a fable; but many Indians, whose words proved true in other matters, assured me that there was such a creature. The words feé árava mean merely striped cuttle, the word árava meaning a stripe or weal, like the mark left by a whip. (Sepia flagellata. (Seaside, near Tautira.))”.
Identity. To the best of our knowledge, there is no known cephalopod species with twelve arms. Furthermore, Curtiss himself seems to have suspected that this entity was based on folklore, a conclusion supported by the additional notes on this animal’s habits. Article 1.3.1 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN 1999: 3) makes it clear that “hypothetical concepts” are excluded from the provisions of zoological nomenclature. As such the name Sepia flagellata is not an available name and does not enter into zoological nomenclature.

Patella tahitica

description: Patella tahitica Curtiss, 1938, a possible synonym of Cellana taitensis (Röding, 1798)
Original description (p. 189). “The Tahiti limpet, called by the Indians mapi, has no regular spire to its shell. The animal is like a snail or a slug, and is eaten fried. The shell is an inch long; it is shaped like a broad, low cone; but the tip is more to one side than the other; the outer side of the shell is brown, with rough streaks radiating from the tip. The inside is shining, streaked with clear white and purple. This creature is found on rocks beside the sea, clinging to them with great force. (Patella tahitica. (Rocks under the cliff at Ahui, Tautira township, Tahiti.))”.
Identity. The identity of this “Tahiti limpet” remains somewhat uncertain as the description could be applied to more than one species found in the region. However, the general conchological characters (i.e. broad low cone, apex situated more to one side than the other, shell externally brown with rough streaks radiating from the tip, and internally shining, streaked with clear white and purple) and the size provided by Curtiss agree reasonably well with Cellana taitensis (Röding, 1798), a species endemic to the Society Islands and Pitcairn Islands (Cernohorsky 1972).

Murex tautiranus

description: Murex tautiranus Curtiss, 1938, a synonym of Monoplex nicobaricus (Röding, 1798)
Original description (pp. 189, 190). “The Tahiti murex, which shares with many other sea-snails the name of pupu, is a slug-like animal, which, when it goes into its shell, has the gray bottom of its foot across the opening. Its shell is very rough, but not spiny; it is solid and heavy. It is spiral, and spindle-shaped; it is an inch and seveneighths in length. The color is variegated, greenish, brown, and lavender. The outer edge of the opening is green, while the inner side has elevated whitish streaks, like flat teeth, the ground color being orange. The opening ends in a straight canal, seven-sixteenths off an inch long, behind. This is found in the sea below tide-mark. … (Murex tautiranus. (In the sea, near Tautira.))”.
Identity. Based on Curtiss’s rather detailed descriptions of the conchological characteristics (i.e. spindleshaped, very rough, solid and heavy shell; colour variegated, greenish, brown, and lavender; aperture [inner side] with elevated teeth-like whitish streaks on an orange ground colour; siphonal canal straight [about a quarter of the total shell length]), the “Tahiti murex ” is very likely Monoplex nicobaricus (Röding, 1798), albeit a rather small specimen. The orange-red aperture with many white ridges and very coarse sculpture are amongst conchological characteristics distinctive of this widely-distributed species (see Beu 1998).

description: Climate is the average weather over a lengthy period of time, usually thirty years. Precisely speaking, it represents the average and fluctuations of meteorological factors across periods varying from months to millions of years. One of the main causes of climate change is anthropogenic activity. Climate change is a significant risk factor affecting livestock performance in India Livestock is crucial to the global economy, and the effects of climate change extend beyond crop production to impact livestock as well. This includes decreased milk yields and quality, lower meat production, and reduced fertility. As a result, food security based on livestock is threatened in many regions around the world. Heat stress directly affect global livestock production by undermining health, welfare, and productivity, while also indirectly impacting it by diminishing the quality and availability of animal feed. To mitigate the economic losses caused by heat stress, several key strategies are being employed.Keywords: Climate change, environmental modifications, advanced strategies, novel technologies

description: Hintergrund: Gehörlose Frauen werden in der Gesundheitsversorgung sowie spezifisch in der Schwangerenvorsorge benachteiligt und begegnen dabei vielen Herausforderungen. Durch unterschiedliche Methoden kann diesen Herausforderungen entgegengewirkt werden.

Ziel: Anhand von diesem systematisierten Literaturreview sollen Herausforderungen eruiert werden, welchen gehörlosen schwangeren Frauen in der Schwangerenvorsorge begegnen. Hierzu sollen für die Gesundheitsfachpersonen Empfehlungen für die Praxis ausgearbeitet werden.

Methode: Um die Fragestellung zu beantworten, wurde mittels definierten Keywords in drei verschiedenen online Datenbanken nach Literatur gesucht. Anhand von spezifischen Ein- und Ausschlusskriterien wurden drei qualitative, eine quantitative und eine Mixed Method Studie ausgesucht. Die Literatur wurde mit Hilfe vom CanMEDS Modell analysiert und diskutiert.

Ergebnisse: Die Kommunikation, der Zugang zu gesundheitlichen Informationen und die Einstellung von Gesundheitsfachpersonen gegenüber gehörlosen Frauen stellen Herausforderungen in der Schwangerenvorsorge für gehörlose schwangere Frauen dar. Gesundheitsfachpersonen können eine zentrale Rolle darin spielen, diese Herausforderungen für die schwangere Frauen zu minimieren.

Schlussfolgerungen: Anhand der Ergebnisse wird aufgezeigt, dass gehörlose schwangere Frauen vielen Herausforderungen in der Schwangerenvorsorge begegnen. Eine der wichtigsten Faktoren dabei, ist die Kommunikation. Um dieser Problematik entgegenzuwirken, ist das Hinzuziehen von Gebärdensprachdolmetscher:innen von Bedeutung. Um aussagekräftigere Ergebnisse zu erreichen, ist weitere Forschung nötig.

description: Cypraea tautirana Curtiss, 1938, a synonym of Monetaria obvelata (Lamarck, 1810)
Original description (p. 190). “The Tahiti cowry, called poreho by the Indians, has a smooth shell, five-eighths of an inch long. Its spiral is enameled over, and does not appear outwardly. The shell is smooth and white, with a large bluish-gray spot on its highest part, elevated, but still smooth. The opening is long and slit-like, toothed on each side, and with a canal at each end. The animal is snail-like. This is found in the sea, below tide-mark. (Cypraea tautirana. (In the sea, near Tautira.))”.
Identity. Although the description provided by Curtiss is rather short, distinctive characteristics were mentioned. In particular, the mention of the “large bluish-gray spot on its highest part, elevated, but still smooth” strongly suggest that it is a cowrie with a distinct elevated hump in the dorsum. This agrees very well with what is now known as Monetaria obvelata (Lamarck, 1810). Curtiss’s Cypraea tautirana is probably identical to the plain form nubilis Sullioti, 1924, since no mention was made of a dorsal orange ring or patterns.

description: Turbo tautiranus Curtiss, 1938, a synonym of Littoraria coccinea (Gmelin, 1791)
Original description (p. 190). “The Tahiti periwinkle is three-quarters of an inch long. The animal is like a snail, but has no knob-like eyes on the end of its two horns. Its shell is spiral, the spine coming to a point. The opening is like half a circle in shape, and not toothed. The animal, when it goes in, closes the entrance with the brown membrane, not very thick, at the bottom of its foot. The shell is smooth, without furrows or keels, and its color is grayish-white, somewhat washed with reddish. This shares with many others the Indian name of pupu, and is found on rocks by the sea-side where the waves beat. (Turbo tautiranus. (In the sea, near Tautira.))”.
Identity. The description of the shell size, animal and shell characteristics (i.e. semi-circular aperture, and smooth shell that is greyish-white with a reddish tint), operculum, and habitat (on rocks by the sea-side where the waves beat) lead us to identify the “Tahiti periwinkle” with Littoraria coccinea (Gmelin, 1791), a species distributed from the Cocos (Keeling) Islands to Eastern Polynesia and Hawaii (Rosewater 1970).

Subjects: Changes in the jet stream

baroclinicity of the lower troposphere
poleward shift of the jet stream

description: Changes in the jet stream and the consequences: In the winters of the last four decades, the zonal flow in the atmosphere weakened over the mid-latitudes and strengthened in the subtropics. The decrease in the zonal velocity in the jet stream is associated with an increase in the meridional wind component, stronger planetary waves and the formation of a central European high pressure situation. The above-average warming of the surface and lower atmosphere in the Arctic reduces the meridional temperature gradient and thus the baroclinicity of the lower troposphere, which shifts the trajectories of the low-pressure areas towards the equator. However, the average global warming also warms the upper tropical troposphere more than the surface, and cools the lower stratosphere in the Arctic, which increases the meridional temperature gradient and thus the baroclinicity, and shifts the trajectories polewards. Both effects together lead to a moderate poleward shift of the jet stream. The changes in the trajectories of the mid-latitude low-pressure areas are determined by a complicated network of surface warming, baroclinic instability, interactions with planetary waves and altered patterns of teleconnections such as the Arctic Oscillation, and are therefore very uncertain. The resulting changes in precipitation are even less certain, as they are also influenced by microphysical processes in the clouds, aerosols and changes in convection.

Turbo anguliferoides

description: Turbo anguliferoides Curtiss, 1938, a possible synonym of Partula otaheitana (Bruguière, 1792)
Original description (pp. 190, 191). “The hermit-crab periwinkle, whose empty shell is often used by the small hermit-crabs, is a smooth-shelled sort, with the opening on the left of the shell, if you hold it with the opening upwards. There is no tail or division of the outer lip of the shell. The lip, however, is somewhat flat and smooth. The whorls of the shell are close together, with no openings between. The spire is proportionately longer than that of our periwinkle. Its color is very pale brownish. (Turbo anguliferoides. (Near Tautira, in the sea.))”.
Identity. The identity of this “hermit-crab periwinkle” is not certain, but it is very likely to one of the arboreal snails of the genus Partula. It is clearly a sinistrally coiling shell (“opening on the left of the shell”), without a siphonal canal (“no tail or division of the outer lip”), has a somewhat expanded outer lip (lip... ...somewhat flat and smooth”), and lacks an umbilicus (“whorls... ...close together, with no openings between”). In addition, Curtiss’s observation that the shell is often used by hermit crabs without mention of its habitat suggests a terrestrial origin. The pale brownish colouration appears to fit what is known of the Partula otaheitana (Bruguière, 1792) group, with which we provisionally identify this name.

Turbo maoa

description: Turbo maoa Curtiss, 1938, a possible synonym of Turbo setosus Gmelin, 1791
Original description (p. 191). “The maóa is a large sort of sea-snail, common on the barrier reef, and much used for food by the Indians. They break off its shell with a hammer, pick it clean, separate it from its hard knob, and put it in hollow bamboo stalks, with taioro sauce. It will keep in that way for several days. (Taioro sauce is the clean meat of a ripe coconut, grated fine, and seasoned with the juices squeezed from the heads of river shrimps.) Its shell is large and rounded, the spire, however, coming to a point. It is grayish-brown outside, white inside, and like mother-of-pearl under its outer covering. The opening is circle-shaped, and without teeth, and under the foot is a hard, round knob, like half a marble in shape, with which it closes the opening when it is inside. The outside of the outer lip of the opening it variegated with yellow and chestnut-color, and has elevated streaks, which, becoming less elevated, run on around the spire of the whole shell. The maóa is sometimes found on rocks close inshore, but more usually on the barrier-reef. (Turbo maóa. (Near Tautira.))”.
Identity. The description of the operculum (hard, round knob, like half a marble) leaves no doubt that this is a species of the genus Turbo. Four Turbo species, T. argyrostomus Linnaeus, 1758, T. marmoratus Linnaeus, 1758, T. petholatus Linnaeus, 1758, and T. setosus Gmelin, 1791, have been recorded in the French Polynesia (Tröndlé & Boutet 2009). However, T. marmoratus would not have been seen by Curtiss as it was only introduced to the region during the 1960s (Yamaguchi 1993). The utility of this species for food was emphasized by Curtiss. Turbo argyrostomus and T. setosus happen to be the two species most commonly collected for food in the South Pacific (Yamaguchi 1993; Poutiers 1998), but Curtiss’s description is insufficient to clearly determine which. Based on our interpretation of the description, Turbo maoa is more likely to be conspecific with Turbo setosus Gmelin, 1791, which is distinctly more round in shape and fits better with Curtiss’s description of a large rounded shell with a pointed spire as the shells of T. argyrostomus normally have distinctly angular whorls. Turbo setosus Gmelin, 1791, is a widely-distributed Indo-West Pacific species (Poutiers 1998).
