Tyrictaca hyalina

description: Tyrictaca hyalina (Kallies & Arita, 2001)
“ Ceratocorema hyalina sp. nov. ” — Kallies & Arita 2001: 191, figs 2, 31, 45. Type locality: “... N. Vietnam, Ninh Binh Prov.,
Gia Vien, Cuc Phuong, 370 m, ...”. Holotype ♂ (NSMT).
Literature. Pühringer & Kallies 2004: 7 (Ceratocorema hyalinum); Kallies 2020: 11, 12 (Tyrictaca hyalina); Bąkowski et al. 2021: 234, figs 1–13 (Tyrictaca hyalina); Rodeland & Rennwald 2021 (Tyrictaca hyalina); Pühringer & Kallies 2021 (Tyrictaca hyalina).
Flight period. The holotype was collected on April 26 th and the paratype was caught in the beginning of May. At least six specimens of this species were accidentally bred from ficus bonsai in Poland, Germany, Finland and France. They emerged in February, March, April and November, respectively.
Host plant. Larvae live inside stems of Ficus microcarpa L.f. (Moraceae).
Distribution. It is known from North Thailand, Laos, South China and North Vietnam.
Remarks. 1). I believe that, with a very high degree of probability, Tyrictaca hyalina is a senior synonym for T. yoshiyasui, since the holotype of the latter (female) was collected in the same place and at the same time with the holotype of T. hyalina (male). In addition, these two taxa are very similar in details of external morphology, with the exception of the transparency of the forewing, which can only be of sexual nature. 2). This species was described from two specimens: a male (holotype) and a female (paratype), with the female collected in the vicinity of Nam Ngum Dam north of Vientiane in Laos. It is very likely that the female of T. hyalina belongs to a different species, and the authors mistakenly “married” the specimens of the genus Tyrictaca in their hands.

description: Genus Dictis L. Koch, 1872
Dictis L. Koch, 1872: 294 (type species Dictis striatipes L. Koch, 1872, by original designation and monotypy).
Soeuria Saaristo, 1997: 55 (type species Soeuria soeur Saaristo 1997, by original designation and monotypy). Syn. n.
Diagnosis. Species of the genus Dictis differ from those of Scytodes in having only two tarsal claws (Figs 1E–F, 11E–F) (vs. three in Scytodes).
Synonymy. The synonymy of Soeuria and Dictis is based on the comparison of type and non-type material of S. soeur, with the type species of Dictis, D. striatipes. All examined material have only two tarsal claws, considered diagnostic for the genus. Males of both species have very similar palps with embolus bearing subdistal prolateral pick and a retrolateral hyaline membrane (Figs 8F–G; 11G–K) and females show the typical vulva of Dictis with outer spermathecae on long stalks and inner spermathecae shorter and cylindrical (Figs 9A, C; 12B–D).
Composition. Dictis soeur (Saaristo, 1997) comb. n., D. elongata Dankittipakul & Singtripop, 2010, and D. striatipes L. Koch, 1872.
Distribution. Pantropical (Figs 15, 16).
Notes. At least three species from Thailand and one from Malaysia were considered new by Dankittipakul & Singtripop (2010). Nevertheless, because they are known from only one sex, they were illustrated and only provisionally described using “open nomenclature” (species A, B, and C). We did not examine this material, but since these species were not formally named and no type material was established, they are not considered valid and within the genus composition. Furthermore, a single female specimen collected in Coetivy, Seychelles was identified by Saaristo (1997) as “ Dictis sp. ”; although we examined this specimen and noticed its considerably larger size in comparison to the rest of the material studied, the absence of males does not allow us to make further taxonomic decisions.

Dictis thailandica Dankittipakul & Singtripop, 2010: 130, figs 28–30, 38–41, 48–49 (♂ holotype from THAILAND, Nakhon Sri Thammarat, Khao Nan National Park [8°46'N 99°48'E], 25 February 2006, P. Dankittipakul leg., deposited in MHNG, not examined; Paratypes: 2♂, 2♀ with the same data as holotype, deposited in MHNG, TNHM; 1♀ from THAILAND, Khonkaen, Nam Pong National Park, forest near headquarters (16°37'20.5"N 102°34'28.0"E), 325 m., 19–26 July 2006, P. Dankittipakul leg., deposited in MHNG, not examined).
Note. Based on the illustrations of male and female copulatory structures, it is probable that D. thailandica is misplaced in Dictis and should be transferred to a new genus when a more thorough revision of the family is carried out. Although Dankittipakul & Singtripop (2010) mention the presence of only two tarsal claws, the conformation of the copulatory organs is markedly different from the other species currently assigned to the genus. Male palps have a large globose bulb, as long as or slightly longer than the short, funnel-shaped embolus bearing a single needlelike subdistal projection (Dankittipakul & Singtripop 2010: figs 39–40, 48) and females have a very simple vulva lacking the inner spermathecae (Dankittipakul & Singtripop 2010: figs 28–30).

Determining the key biochemical species to forewarn sudden transitions in Cdc2-cyclin B/Wee1 system
Creators: name: sinha, sudipta kumar
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: The Cdc2-cyclin B/Wee1 kinase system exhibits bistability between alternative steady states,which emerges due to the mutual inhibition between Cdc2-cyclin B and Wee1 kinases. Al-ternative steady states are M phase-like state and G2 arrest state, which have implicationsin the cell cycle progression at the G2 phase in eukaryotic cells. A slight alteration in thefeedback strength can drive sudden transitions between these contrasting alternative statesupon crossing a critical threshold or a tipping point. The phenomenon of critical slowingdown (CSD) has been widely used to identify the proximity to a tipping point. However,determining the key variable or species that best signals CSD is a challenging task and holdssignificance in complex biological processes. Here, we determine the leading variable or ob-servation direction (OD) from the direction of CSD to best detect an upcoming transitionin the Cdc2-cyclin B/Wee1 model system. We find that with increasing feedback strength,the Cdc2-cyclin B is the OD, as it produces a stronger signal than that of Wee1. Withdecreasing feedback strength, both Cdc2-cyclin B and Wee1 produce similar signals and canbe used as OD. Further, the noise-sensitive direction highlights the effect of stochasticity inCdc2-cyclin B and Wee1 for increasing and decreasing feedback strength, respectively. Wealso perform sensitivity analyses that reveal the robustness of the OD. Finally, we comparethe efficacy of OD with principal component analysis (PCA) while detecting a tipping point.

description: Since its introduction in 2004, Knochel's so called Turbo-Grignard reagents revolutionized the usage of Grignard reagents. Through the simple addition of LiCl to a magnesium alkyl an outstanding increase in reactivity can be achieved. Though the exact composition of the reactive species remained mysterious, the reactive mixture itself is readily used not only in synthesis but also found its way into more distant fields like material science. To unravel this mystery, we combined single-crystal X-ray diffraction with in-solution NMR-spectroscopy and closed our investigations with quantum chemical calculations. Using such a variety of methods, we have gained insight into and an explanation for the extraordinary reactivity of this extremely convenient reagent by determining the structure of the first bimetallic reactive species [t-Bu2Mg ⋅ LiCl ⋅ 4 thf] with two tert-butyl anions at the magnesium center and incorporated lithium chloride.

description: This research examines the unique learning process of the Igbo Apprenticeship System (IAS). This approach to the development of enterprises and entrepreneurship, originated in the ethnic group of communities in the Southeastern part of Nigeria, uses mimetic learning to instil in its participants’ knowledge and behaviours intended to create a lifelong approach and mindset to entrepreneurship development. This form of mimetic learning predates the mediaeval era and takes place outside the formal educational system. As a consequence, it largely does not rely on participants having a specific level of educational achievement. Rather it requires a long-term commitment from the apprentice, their family and the entrepreneur. The research expands the theoretical understanding of entrepreneurial learning through an evaluation of an entirely experiential base using the Mimetic Theory and Institutional Logics as the critical lens to explore the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention and social learning. It evaluates and combines the available evidence into a conceptual framework that shapes the process of entrepreneurial learning as an experiential activity. Qualitative data were gathered from 40 former and current apprentices and critically analysed using the illustrative case study and process tracing approach. The research contributes to the extant entrepreneurial learning process literature by identifying, reviewing and synthesizing available research into a conceptual framework that explores the process of entrepreneurial learning as an experiential process. It also highlights effective mechanisms of skills transfer and business training, contributing to the literature on informal/vocational training and human capital development. Key issues in entrepreneurship education including the different informal learning processes of the IAS and the identification of specific dynamics in the interaction and development of the learners were examined.
