LSTA Five Year Plan, 1998-2002, 2002

The LSTA goals for Iowa, FY98-FY02, are as follows: 1. Provide all Iowans with expanded access to information and materials through the State of Iowa Libraries Online (SILO) network. 2. Improve library service to Iowans through knowledgeable, well-trained staff and wellinformed public library trustees and library users. 3. Meet Iowans’ increasing demands for information and library services by identifying and encouraging resource sharing and partnerships. 4. Provide state level leadership and services to accomplish the LSTA Five-Year Plan. The primary objectives of this evaluation are to provide: $ An assessment of the overall impact of Iowa’s LSTA funding and success in achieving the goals identified in the state’s five-year plan. $ An in-depth analysis of two specific goals from the plan: providing Iowans with expanded access to information and materials through the State of Iowa Libraries Online (SILO) network; and improving library service to Iowans through knowledgeable, well-trained staff and well-informed public library trustees and library users. LSTA built on accomplishments made possible with the federal HEA II-B grant awarded to the State Library in 1995. This grant led the way in bringing technology to Iowa libraries by creating an electronic library network for resource sharing. SILO (State of Iowa Libraries Online) became fully functional in 1997. The State Library continued funding SILO with LSTA money when the grant ended. This funding supports the SILO infrastructure, providing equitable access to information through cutting edge technology to Iowans in both small and large, rural and urban, communities. Access to electronic material and information has encouraged public libraries to increase the number of computers and public access to the Internet. LSTA funding was used to increase training opportunities for library staff and trustees. Many programs, such as librarian certification, were strengthened by an increase in continuing education opportunities.

Sistemática, filogenia e distribuição geográfica das espécies sul-americanas de Centris (Paracentris) Cameron, 1903 e de Centris (Penthemisia) Moure, 1950, incluindo uma análise filogenética do "grupo Centris" sensu Ayala, 1998 (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Centridini)

Systematics, phylogeny and geographical distribution of the South American species of Centris (Paracentris) Cameron, 1903, and Centris (Penthemisia) Moure, 1950, including a phylogenetic analysis of the "Centris group" sensu Ayala, 1998 (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Centridini). A cladistic analysis with the objective of testing the hypothesis of monophily of Centris (Paracentris) Cameron, 1903, and of studying its phylogenetic relationships with the other subgenera that belong to the Centris group, sensu Ayala, 1998, and the relationships among the species that occur in South America, is presented. Centris (Paracentris) is a group of New World bees of amphitropical distribution, especially diversified in the Andes and in the xeric areas of South and North America. Thirty-one species were included in the analysis, four considered as outgroup, and 49 characters, all from external morphology and genitalia of adult specimens. Parsimony analyses with equal weights for the characters and successive weighting were performed with the programs NONA and PAUP, and analyses of implied weighting with the program PeeWee. The strict consensus among the trees obtained in all the analyses indicates that C. (Paracentris), as previously recognized, is a paraphyletic group. In order to eliminate that condition, the subgenera C. (Acritocentris), C. (Exallocentris) and C. (Xerocentris), all described by SNELLING (1974) are synonymized under C. (Paracentris). The subgenus C. (Penthemisia) Moure, 1950, previously considered a synonym of C. (Paracentris), is reinstated, but in a more restricted sense than originally proposed and with the following species: Centris brethesi Schrottky, 1902; C. buchholzi Herbst, 1918; C. chilensis (Spinola, 1851), C. mixta mixta Friese, 1904, and C. mixta tamarugalis Toro & Chiappa, 1989. Centris mixta, previously recognized as the only South American species of the subgenus C. (Xerocentris), a group supposedly amphitropical, came out as the sister-species of C. buchholzi. The following South American species were recognized under Centris (Paracentris): Centris burgdorfi Friese, 1901; C. caelebs Friese, 1900; C. cordillerana Roig-Alsina, 2000; C. euphenax Cockerell, 1913; C. flavohirta Friese, 1900; C. garleppi (Schrottky, 1913); C. klugii Friese, 1900; C. lyngbyei Jensen-Haarup, 1908; C. mourei Roig-Alsina, 2000; C. neffi Moure, 2000; C. nigerrima (Spinola, 1851); C. toroi sp. nov.; C. tricolor Friese, 1900; C. unifasciata (Schrottky, 1913), and C. vogeli Roig-Alsina, 2000. The relationships among the subgenera of the "Centris group" were: (Xanthemisia (Penthemisia (Centris s. str. - Paracentris))). Centris xanthomelaena Moure & Castro 2001, an endemic species of the Caatinga and previously considered a C. (Paracentris), came out as the sister group of C. (Centris) s. str. A new species of C. (Paracentris) from Chile is described: Centris toroi sp. nov. Lectotypus designations and redescriptions are presented for Centris burgdorfi, C. caelebs, C. lyngbyei, C. tricolor, C. autrani Vachal, 1904 and C. smithii Friese, 1900. New synonyms proposed: C. buchholzi Herbst, 1918 = Centris wilmattae Cockerell, 1926 syn. nov.; C. caelebs Friese, 1900 = Paracentris fulvohirta Cameron, 1903. The female of C. vogeli Roig-Alsina, 2000 and the male of C. xanthomelaena are described.

Situación del recurso macha (Mesodesma donacium) en el puerto de Lomas, Arequipa. Julio 1997 a enero 1998

Presenta los resultados de la evaluación realizada a los bancos naturales del puerto de Lomas (Arequipa) en julio, octubre de 1997 y enero de 1998, por buceo y ribera de playa. El estudio detalla las estructuras por tamaños, distribución espacial, aspectos reproductivos, desembarques, etc. del recurso. Finalmente, sugiere identificar otras zonas de asentamiento juveniles del recurso macha e intensificar su estudio para conocer el impacto que el ambiente marino podría ocasionar en las poblaciones del recurso.

Evaluación del recurso macha (Mesodesma donacium) en el litoral de Ica y Arequipa. Marzo - abril 1998

Presenta los resultados de la evaluación de los bancos naturales del recurso en las playas del litoral costero norte del departamento de Arequipa (provincia de Caravelí) y playas del departamento de Ica, con el fin de determinar la situación biológica pesquera del recurso macha. El elevado porcentaje de ejemplares menores a la talla mínima comercial en las playas, fue uno de los resultados negativos de la influencia del Fenómeno El Niño que se sintió a finales de enero de 1998, obteniendo como consecuencia la ausencia total de extractores artesanales del recurso para el mes de febrero de 1998.

Monitoreo del recurso almeja (Gari solida) en Bahía Independencia. Febrero 1996 - julio 1998

Presenta los resultados de la evaluación de la almeja en las principales áreas de extracción de la Bahía Independencia - Pisco, realizadas entre febrero de 1996 y julio de 1998. Muestra que la población de este recurso presenta gran variación decreciente en los principales bancos naturales de la bahía durante 1997-1998, impulsado por el Fenómeno El Niño que generó condiciones negativas del recurso, convirtiendo a la almeja en una de las especies más afectadas del litoral.

Aspectos biológico pesqueros de la pesquería industrial de anchoveta y sardina en Pisco y Tambo de Mora. 1995-1998

Presenta los resultados de algunos aspectos biológico pesqueros de la pesquería industrial de anchoveta y sardina en Pisco y Tambo de Mora, en donde se registraron cambios en el ecosistema marino durante los años 1995-1996, considerado como período frío o fenómeno La Niña. Indica que tanto las condiciones frías como las cálidas en el ambiente marino, producen cambios en el comportamiento de los recursos pelágicos, especialmente la anchoveta.
