Assessment of reproductive capacity in females of Smith, 1869 (Brachyura, Portunoidea) during a period of high reproductive activity

The reproductive capacity of the swimming crab Callinectes danae Smith, 1869 was assessed based on the reproductive investment (RI) of ovigerous females and the gonadosomatic index (GI) of non-ovigerous adult females. Crabs were collected in June 2009 with a shrimp fishing boat at Ubatuba (23° 26′S 45° 02′W) São Paulo, Brazil. Overall, 191 adult females were analyzed, of which 108 were ovigerous and 83 non-ovigerous. The size of ovigerous females ranged from 54.5 to 79.8 mm carapace width (CW) and non-ovigerous females ranged from 56.0 to 80.9 mm CW. RI values did not differ among the size classes (ANOVA, p > 0.05), with an overall mean of 15.8%. The same occurred with the Gonadossomatic index for non-ovigerous females, for which the mean value was 11.7%. The regression between the dry weight of the egg mass and the dry weight of the crab (Student’s t, p = 0.25; ttab = 1.66; tcal = 0.66) indicated an isometric relationship for the variables analyzed. The simultaneous occurrence of gonadal maturation and embryonic development in ovigerous females suggests that these crabs may spawn at least twice in the same breeding season and reveals the need for evaluation of the allocation of energy in subsequent spawns.

Estocagem tecidual e utilização de lipídeos em Matrinxã, Brycon cephalus (Günther, 1869)

Lipids have important biological functions, suchas membrane constituents, hormone precursors, and are efficient energy reserves, due to thers high caloric content. In fish, but not in mammals, lipid storage patterns are quite diverse. The aim of this study was to determine lipid distribution in somatic and reproductive tissues of matrinxã, Brycon cephalus, both male and female, highlighting somatic indices related to lipid dynamics. From Oct 98 to Jan 99, a total of 174 fish (8-12 each month) were sampled. After fish anesthesia, heparinized blood was collected for plasma triacylglycerol determination. Fish were individually weighed and measured, and liver, gonads and visceral fat were collected and weighed for HSI (hepatosomatic index), GSI (gonad somatic index) and MFI (mesenteric fat index) calculation. The highest values of total lipids were found in red muscle (about 18%), liver and gonads (about 16.5%). The white muscle had a lower concentration (2.5%). Analyses of variance of HSI and MFI showed fluctuations along the experimental period with lowest concentrations in the periods of highest temperatures. Matrinxã store lipids in several body tissues, including mesenteric fat, liver, muscles and gonads.

Eugene L. Barnwell Papers - Accession 1011

The Eugene L. Barnwell Papers consist of correspondence, newspaper clippings, speeches, training materials, memorabilia, and personal reflections concerning his life and careers in music and public service including his service as mayor of York, SC from 1982-1991. Of particular interest among the Barnwell Papers is his study of municipal management relative to a council/manager form of government.

Book Review of Improved Earth: Prairie Space as Modern Artefact, 1869-1944 by Rod Bantjes

In this short but suggestive study, sociologist Rod Bantjes examines how contending visions of modernity shaped the social and physical landscapes of the Canadian prairies. "[B]oth statesmen and prairie farmers were infused with the modernist spirit of innovation, the will creatively (and destructively) to transform their worlds," Bantjes argues. His provocative view of farmers as agents of modernity reflects recent scholarship that seeks to explore "multiple modernities," or the notion that ideas and practices of modernism must be regarded not as monolithic but rather as contested and multivocal, and must be examined in their historical and geographical contexts.

Contribuição para o estudo dos Rhinotragini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae). VI. Ecliptoides Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2005

The genus Ecliptoides Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2005, recently revised by Clarke (2009) to include three Bolivian species, is brought up-to-date by the inclusion of further South American species transferred from Eclipta Bates, 1873, and Odontocera Audinet-Serville, 1833. Three new species are described from Brazil: E. schmidi, E. tavakiliani, and E. hogani. Ommata eunomia var. rufula Melzer, 1934, and Ommata (Eclipta) plaumanni Fuchs, 1961, are revalidated and considered species of Ecliptoides. Species transferred from Eclipta to include Ecliptoides: E. bivitticollis (Fisher, 1952); E. eunomia (Newman, 1841); E. pilosipes (Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004); E. fanchonae (Tavakilian & Peñaherrera-Leiva, 2003); E. giuglarisi (Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004); E. vasconezi (Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004); E. vicina (Melzer, 1927); E. lauraceae (Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004); and E. bauhiniae (Peñaherrera-Leiva & Tavakilian, 2004). Species transferred from Odontocera to include Ecliptoides: O. quadrivittata Melzer, 1922; O. pusilla Gounelle, 1911; and O. monostigma (Bates, 1869). New synonymy: Ommata (Eclipta) collarti Fuchs, 1959 = Odontocera pusilla Gounelle, 1911 (= Ecliptoides pusillus). Lectotypes are designated for Ommata (Eclipta) vicina, and Ommata (Eclipta) collarti. New distribution records are provided for E. eunomia, E. pilosipes, E. plaumanni and E. fanchonae. A key to the species of Ecliptoides is given.
