Thalestrella reducta

description: Thalestrella reducta (Apostolov, 1975) comb. nov.
Parastenhelia reducta Apostolov, 1975
Original description. Apostolov (1975): 172–175; Fig. 3.
Type locality. Bulgaria, Burgas Province; Tsarevo (formerly Michurin) and Lozenets; sandy bottom, 5 m depth.
Notes. Gee (2006) transferred Parastenhelia reducta as species incertae sedis to Karllangia, based on the female antennule with distinctly compressed distal segments, the maxillipedal syncoxa with only one seta, and the reduced armature and absence of sexual dimorphism of P2–P4. The generic assignment of this species, known only from a single female and male from shallow sandy sediments along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (Apostolov 1975), was tentative since the male P5 exopod exhibits five setae (instead of four in the remaining Karllangia species) and, according to the original text description the antenna lacks sexual dimorphism. Armature patterns on the fifth legs are known to vary in many harpacticoid genera and small differences in setal numbers are therefore likely to be of less significance in delimiting their diagnostic boundaries. We concur with Gee (2006) that the hirsute bulbous structure in Apostolov’s Figure 3h, partly concealed by the second segment of the male antennule, is conceivably the modified antennary exopod. Although a re-examination of Apostolov’s (1975) specimens would be desirable, there appears to be no reason to question its generic assignment. Parastenhelia reducta is here removed from the incertae sedis category of Karllangia and reinstated as a valid species of Thalestrella. Por’s (1964) specimens of T. ornatissima, the geographically closest record of the genus, agree with T. reducta comb. nov. in the length:width proportions of the female P5 exopod but conspecificity can be ruled out on the basis of differences in the anal operculum and caudal ramus length (as measured in dorsal aspect).
Thalestrella reducta comb. nov. can readily be distinguished from its congeners by the reduced armature on P3–P4 (P4 exp-3 with two inner setae vs three, P3–P4 enp-3 with one inner seta vs two) and the presence of six elements on the male P5 exopod. Apostolov (1975) did not figure the deeply incised hyaline frills on the body somites, however, his illustration (Fig. 3a) of the urosome showing the long pleural extensions (probably an optical section of the frills) indicates their presence. T. reducta is the only species in the genus that displays four setae on the mandibular exopod.

Thalestrella bengalensis

description: Thalestrella bengalensis (Wells & Rao, 1987) comb. nov.
Karllangia arenicola bengalensis Wells & Rao, 1987
Original description. Wells & Rao (1987): 131–132; Fig. 110; Table 7.
Type locality. Andaman and Nicobar Islands: North Andaman, Mayabandar, Seaward Bay (12°52’06”N, 92°56’48”E); algal sand rich in detritus; fine to medium sand with a small amount of shell gravel; taken from surface to 20 cm deep between low and half-tide levels.
Notes. Wells & Rao (1987: 132, 218; Table 7) considered their specimens to be more or less intermediate between K. arenicola s.str. and K. psammophila. They considered all three of them as morphs of a single polytypic species and granted subspecific status to each of these potentially allopatric “populations”. Gee (2006: 2644) reexamined material of K. psammophila and, consequently, reversed the situation by resurrecting them as valid species. According to Wells & Rao (1987: Fig. 110c) the female antennary exopod of T. bengalensis comb. nov. differs from the typical condition in bearing only one lateral seta on exp-2.
In addition to the type locality, the species was also recorded from the Sawai Bay of Car Nicobar Island (Wells & Rao 1987).

Original description. Mielke (1994b): 148, 150–152; Figs 7–8.
Type locality. Costa Rica, beach slope of Manzanillo (Caribbean coast).
Notes. Thalestrella obscura comb. nov. occurs sympatrically with T. pulchra comb. nov. at the type locality. It differs from the latter by the absence of well developed denticulodigitate hyaline frills on the abdominal somites and the inner seta on P1 exp-2, and by the presence of a tuft of very long setules on the male antennary allobasis near the articulation with the exopod, and only five elements on the female P5 exopod.

Asymmetry of thermal sensitivity and the thermal risk of climate change

description:
Aim Understanding and predicting the biological consequences of climate change requires considering the thermal sensitivity of organisms relative to environmental temperatures. One common approach involves ‘thermal safety margins’ (TSMs), which are generally estimated as the temperature differential between the highest temperature an organism can tolerate (critical thermal maximum, CT max ) and the mean or maximum environmental temperature it experiences. Yet, organisms face thermal stress and performance loss at body temperatures below their CT max, and the steepness of that loss increases with the asymmetry of the thermal performance curve (TPC). Location Global. Time period 2015–2019. Major taxa studied Ants, fish, insects, lizards and phytoplankton. Methods We examine variability in TPC asymmetry and the implications for thermal stress for 384 populations from 289 species across taxa and for metrics including ant and lizard locomotion, fish growth, and insect and phytoplankton fitness. Results We find that the thermal optimum (T opt , beyond which performance declines) is more labile than CT max , inducing interspecific variation in asymmetry. Importantly, the degree of TPC asymmetry increases with T opt . Thus, even though populations with higher T opt s in a hot environment might experience above‐optimal body temperatures less often than do populations with lower T opt s, they nonetheless experience steeper declines in performance at high body temperatures. Estimates of the annual cumulative decline in performance for temperatures above T opt suggest that TPC asymmetry alters the onset, rate and severity of performance decrement at high body temperatures. Main conclusions Species with the same TSMs can experience different thermal risk due to differences in TPC asymmetry. Metrics that incorporate additional aspects of TPC shape better capture the thermal risk of climate change than do TSMs.

Paraleptomesochra minima

description: Paraleptomesochra minima Wells, 1967
Original description. Wells (1967): 297–300; Text-fig. 54.
Type locality. Mozambique, Inhaca Island; Ilha dos Portuguesos (Elephant Isle); intertidal zone, clean sand.
Notes. The species differs from its congener P. wellsi primarily in the armature of P4 exp-3 (121 vs 221), P2–P4 enp-3 (one apical element vs two) and the endopodal lobe of the male P5 (two setae vs one). Additional differences include the caudal ramus which is slightly longer than wide in P. minima (vs as long as wide), the length of P1 enp-2 which is longer in P. wellsi (and the position of its inner seta being more proximal), the morphology of the setae on P1 exp-2 and the inner distal seta of P2–P4 exp-3 which are characterized by a row of stiff pinnules near the apex in P. wellsi, and the shape of the male P5 exopod (trapezoid vs oval).
Wells (1967:Text-fig. 54F)shows three setae on the mandibular basis with the two proximal ones at a considerable distance from the distal one. It is conceivable that the short proximal “setae” are ornamentation elements similar to those described and figured by Mielke (1994b: Figs 2D, 8A) for Thalestrella pulchra and T. obscura. Rao (1972: 4 F) illustrated similar (but more) setules in his description of P. wellsi in addition to two distal setae. Wells (1967) also described the mandibular endopod as 2-segmented but this is unlikely; the exopod is apparently lacking but represented by a seta in P. wellsi. The absence of the seta on the maxillipedal syncoxa (present in P. wellsi) requires confirmation.
Although Rao (1972) had previously described P. wellsi from mainland India, both Rao (1975) and Wells & Rao (1987) attributed their material from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Middle and South Andaman, Car Nicobar Island) to the geographically much more distant P. minima. The latter was subsequently recorded from the littoral zone of Lakshadweep (formerly known as the Laccadive, Minicoy and Aminidivi Islands) (Rao & Misra 1983; Rao 1991) and Little Andaman (Rao 1993).

Anhand der Ergebnisse der Interviewstudie wurden verschiedene Personas erstellt, die aus unterschiedlichen Gründen Selbstvermessung betreiben und einen unterschiedlichen Umgang mit Privatsphäreeinstellungen pflegen. Gemein ist ihnen jedoch, dass sie grundsätzlich anhand weniger Informationen umfassend informiert werden wollen und die Wichtigkeit von Transparenz höher eingeschätzt wird als die Wichtigkeit von Intervenierbarkeit. Der Beitrag stellt Fragen nach den Gründen für die Einschätzungen der SelbstvermesserInnen und wirft rechtliche Fragen auf, die sich aus den Ergebnissen der Interviewstudie und insbesondere im Hinblick auf den Umgang mit dem Strukturprinzip der Transparenz einerseits und den Informationspflichten andererseits ergeben. Zuletzt wird die in TESTER erforschte Möglichkeit zur technischen Umsetzung von Transparenzvorgaben in Form eines Privacy Assistenten als einem interaktiven System zur Personalisierung der Informationsver- und -übermittlung vorgestellt.

Material examined. GRNR: 2285 m: 19.XI.2015, PT, 1 ♀, GRNR: 2761 m: 21.X.2014, PT, 1 ♂.
Life forms and Remarks. ZS(C) LB species. The above two specimens of the genus Laemostenus Bonelli, 1810 are the first records from KSA. These specimens belong to the L. quadricollis species group of subgenus Laemostenus (in the sense of Casale 1988), including L. aegyptiacus Schatzmayr, 1936; L. antonrichteri Casale, 1988; L. bergvalli Jeanne, 1996; L. croyi Casale & Wrase 2012; L. heinzi Casale, 1988; L. libanensis (Piochard de la Brûlerie, 1876); L. luristanus Casale, 1988; L. parallelocollis (Reiche, 1855); L. phoenicius Casale & Wrase, 2012; L. quadricollis (Redtenbacher, 1843); and L. sinaiticus Casale & Assmann, 2017 (Casale & Assmann 2017). In the Near East and the Middle East this species group has been reported from CY, EG, IL, IR, LB, SY, TR (Casale & Wrase 2012; Casale & Assmann 2017). During the present study, the two above adult specimens were collected by pitfall traps set in an African pencil cedar forest community at 2761 m and in an Olea europaea community at 2285 m. At this time, the identity of the species cannot be confirmed until additional material of this group becomes available to study morphological variability of this species group (A. Casale, personal communication).

Paraleptomesochra wellsi

description: Paraleptomesochra wellsi Rao, 1972
Original description. Rao (1972): Fig. 4.
Type locality. India, Andhra Pradesh, Visakhapatnam (formerly Waltair), 17°43’30”N 83°20’30”E; intertidal zone, fine and medium sand, 10–30 cm below surface near half-tide level.
Notes. Rao (1972) describes the male antennule as 7-segmented with the sixth segment being partly subdivided. The segmentation pattern is here provisionally reinterpreted as 9-segmented due to segment 4 (XIII) having been overlooked and the three segments distal to the geniculated accepted here as fully discrete. Rao’s (1972: Fig. 4D) illustration of two aesthetascs originating from the swollen segment 5 must be attributed to an observational error.
The species was subsequently recorded from two localities (Konark = Konarak, Puri) in Odisha (formerly Orissa) in the Bay of Bengal (Rao 1989).

description: Metadata is one of the most important aspects for advancing data management practices within all research communities. Definitions and schemes of metadata are inter alia of particular significance in the domain of neutron and photon scattering experiments covering a broad area of different scientific disciplines. The demand of describing continuously evolving highly nonstandardized experiments, including the resulting processed and published data, constitutes a considerable challenge for a static definition of metadata. Here, we present the concept of dynamic metadata for the neutron and photon scientific community, which enriches a static set of defined basic metadata. We explore the idea of dynamic metadata with the help of the use case of X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS), which is a synchrotron-based scattering technique that allows the investigation of nanoscale dynamic processes. It serves here as a demonstrator of how dynamic metadata can improve data acquisition, sharing, and analysis workflows. Our approach enables researchers to tailor metadata definitions dynamically and adapt them to the evolving demands of describing data and results from a diverse set of experiments. We demonstrate that dynamic metadata standards yield advantages that enhance data reproducibility, interoperability, and the dissemination of knowledge.

Material examined. GRNR: 1772 m: 04.IV.2017, HP, 1 ♂.
Distribution. END_AR species, occurring in southwestern Arabian Peninsula (SA, YE).
Life forms and Remarks. Myrmecophilous (M) species. Paussus cephalotes was described from a specimen collected by Dr. Millingen from Hejaz Mountains of western KSA without specific locality (Nagel 1982). No specimen matching the original description (Raffray 1886) has subsequently been collected until Van Harten
collected two specimens from Yemen (Rada’a and Sana’a) in 1998 (Luna de Carvalho 2000 a, b). During recent entomological survey in Baha Province, southwestern Saudi Arabia, El-Hawagry et al. (2013) reported specimens of P. cephalotes from Jebel Shada during April-June at 1600 m and Moore & Robertson (2014) report this species from Al Bahah, Baljurashi forest. The species is recorded for first time from Asir Province. The single specimen was collected under stones in an Opuntia ficus-indica community at an altitude of 1772 m.
The subgenus assignment “ Hylotorus ” is adopted from Robertson & Moore (2016).

Material examined. WMR: 1150 m: 04.IV.2017, LT, 1 ex.
Distribution. This taxon is distributed in the AFR_SAR realms. It has a circum-saharan distribution, occurring in North, West and East Africa (DZ, EG, ER, ET, KE, LY, MA, ML, NE, SD, TN, TZ), the Levant Region (EG (Sinai), IL, SY) and the Arabian Peninsula (SA, YE).
Life forms and Remarks. Myrmecophilous (M) species.
Despite its large distribution area host ants were reported only twice: Tapinoma erraticum (Latreille 1798) (Dolichoderinae: Dolichoderini), Morocco (see Geiselhardt et al. 2007) and Pheidole pallidula (Nylander 1849) (Myrmicinae: Pheidolini), Tunisia (reported as Paussus saharae Bedel, 1900 (Normand 1933). The subgenus name was established by applying the concept proposed by Robertson and Moore (2016).
This species was previously known from Asir and Najran provinces (Nagel 1982). Further records from Saudi Arabia are Makkah Province (Wadi Daykah, 600 m, 04.IV.1980, leg. Büttiker; Nat. Hist. Mus. Basel, Nagel vidit) and Jizan Province (Fifa, 18.XI.1981; Nat. Hist. Mus. Basel (Nagel vidit).
This specimen was collected from an area dominated by Acacia trees at the bottom of GRNR.

description:
BACKGROUND: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) leads to suppression of mast cell and basophil degranulation along with changes in the adaptive immune response. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine how rapidly these effects occur during OIT and more broadly, the kinetics of basophil and mast cell suppression throughout the course of therapy. METHODS: Twenty participants, age 4 to 12 years, were enrolled in a peanut OIT trial and assessed for desensitization and sustained unresponsiveness after 9 months of therapy. Blood was collected 5 times in the first month and then intermittently throughout to quantify immunoglobulins and assess basophil activation by CD63, CD203c, and phosphorylated SYK (pSYK). RESULTS: Twelve of 16 participants that completed the trial were desensitized after OIT, with 9 achieving sustained unresponsiveness after discontinuing OIT for 4 weeks. Basophil hyporesponsiveness, defined by lower CD63 expression, was detected as early as day 90. pSYK was correlated with CD63 expression, and there was a significant decrease in pSYK by day 250. CD203c expression remained unchanged throughout therapy. Interestingly, although basophil activation was decreased across the cohort during OIT, basophil activation did not correlate with individual clinical outcomes. Serum peanut-specific IgG4 and IgA increased throughout therapy, whereas IgE remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: Suppression of basophil activation occurs within the first 90 days of peanut OIT, ultimately leading to suppression of signaling through pSYK.
