Taxonomic and numeric structure of Chironomidae (Diptera) in different habitats of a Neotropical floodplain

We characterized the local benthic Chironomidae by analyzing the numerical density, biomass, diversity index of Shannon-Wiener and dominance of larvae in the main channel of the Ivinhema River, in a secondary channel, in five lakes connected to the main channel and in five lakes without connection. Of the 68 taxa identified, Aedokritus sp., Tanytarsus sp., Chironomus strenzkei Fittkau, 1968 and Procladius sp.1 were found in all sampling sites and were considered morphospecies with greater of greatest ecological plasticity. Chironomus strenzkei Fittkau, 1968, contributed with the greatest biomass in the central region of lakes without connection, whereas Aedokritus sp. dominated in the littoral of lakes. The greater values of diversity indices in the littoral region of channels were due to the greater water flow and to the higher food availability in these areas. The dominance indices, by contrast, were greater on the central region of these environments. The littoral region has exclusive characteristics, representing habitats that could play important controlling in the numerical density and index diversity on the ecosystem, whereas that the biomass of benthic invertebrates in the central region in some biotopes would have different spatial probably according organisms drift.

La parola raccontata dai cavalieri-narratori nella "Continuation du Roman de Meliadus" (ms. Ferrell 5)

Copiato nell'Italia del Nord verso il 1350, il manoscritto Ferrell 5 è oggi il solo testimone della "Continuation du Roman de Meliadus" che racconta le avventure di Artù, di Meliadus il padre di Tristano, e del Buon Cavaliere senza Paura padre di Dinadan, partiti alla ricerca di Morholt, prigioniero su di un'isola lontana. Ora, questa inchiesta è solo un pretesto: al centro dell'interesse dei tre re non sta tanto l'avventura promessa quanto i racconti che essi collezionano in occasione dei diversi scali di questo viaggio per mare, durante il quale non succede quasi niente. La ricerca di Morholt agisce quale racconto-cornice che non solo mette in scena le condizioni della presa di parola da parte dei cavalieri-narratori e organizza i racconti, anzi li drammatizza, ma funziona anche da matrice che informa, feconda e rigenera questi stessi racconti. Quanto all'isolamento, imposto dalla navigazione, esso permette lo sbocciare di una piccola ma prestigiosa società di narratori che non ha nulla da invidiare a quella delle raccolte di novelle. Così, un racconto dopo l'altro, si definisce un'arte di narrare che espone ed esplora i legami tra valore del racconto e bontà della cavalleria: la perfezione poetica, fonte del piacere estetico, è solo l'altra faccia della perfezione cavalleresca.

COBRA: Continuation of Employer Group Health Insurance, March 2007

COBRA stands for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act *COBRA is not insurance; it is the law, since 1985. COBRA allows employees and their dependents to continue employer group health insurance for several months when that insurance would usually end. *Insurance plans under COBRA are private health plans, not plans sold by the government. *The U.S. Departments of Labor and Treasury enforce COBRA.
