Geographic variation of sex pheromone and mitochondrial DNA in Diatraea saccharalis (Fab., 1794) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)

(9Z,11E)-hexadecadienal and (Z11)-hexadecenal, the main sex pheromone components of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis, were identified and quantified from four Brazilian and one Colombian populations using GC-EAD, GC-MS and GC analyses. Three different ratios were observed, 9:1,6:1, and 3:1. The pheromone concentration for the major component, (9Z,11E)-hexadecadienal, varied from 6.8 ng/gland to 21.9 ng/gland and from 1.7 ng/gland to 6.5 to the minor component, (Z11)-hexadecenal. The 25 D. saccharalis cytochrome oxidase II sequences that were analyzed showed low intra-specific variation and represented only 11 haplotypes, with the most frequent being the one represented by specimens from Sao Paulo, Parana, and Pernambuco states. Specimens from Colombia showed the highest genetic divergence from the others haplotypes studied. Data on the genetic variability among specimens, more than their geographic proximity, were in agreement with data obtained from analyses of the pheromone extracts. Our data demonstrate a variation in pheromone composition and a covariation in haplotypes of the D. saccharalis populations studied. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

James Parkinson (1755-1824): A pioneer of child care

James Parkinson (1755-1824) of Parkinson's disease, is well recognized as a pioneer of clinical neurology; and is even more famous as a founder of modem palaeontology. We have reviewed from primary sources his extensive contributions to clinical child care and his pioneering advocacy for child welfare, protection and safety. His writings, outreach and advocacy for children's health characterizes him as one whose influence was an important springboard from which evolved the modern specialty of paediatrics. Parkinson was one of the first to write on child-rearing practices and in this context antedated Benjamin Spock by 150 years. Parkinson was a pioneer of child safety and the prevention of childhood trauma. He wrote of the resuscitation of near-drowned children and of first aid for injured children. This critical analysis reviews his pioneering description of child abuse and the development of post-abuse hydrocephalus. He wrote the datum description (in English) of the pathophysiology and pathology of appendicitis in children, of fatal rabies in children and highlighted the risk of death even when the biting dog was not clinically rabid. His advocacy for social reform for children's welfare was courageous and pioneering. James Parkinson, hitherto unacknowledged, was a significant founder of the evolving discipline of paediatrics and child health.

Reproductive biology of the eastern shovelnose ray, Aptychotrema rostrata (Shaw & Nodder, 1794), from Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia

The eastern shovelnose ray, Aptychotrema rostrata (Rhinobatidae), is an endemic batoid common to the east coast of Australia. The reproductive cycle was studied in Moreton Bay, south-eastern Queensland, over a 14-month period. Aptychotrema rostrata is an aplacental yolksac viviparous species with an annual, seasonal reproductive cycle in Moreton Bay. Females mature at 54-66 cm total length, and males at 60-68 cm total length. Gravid females were observed during September-November and parturition occurred in November-December. Vitellogenesis does not proceed in parallel with gestation. Ovulation and copulation probably occur during July-September, resulting in a gestational period of 3-5 months. Uterine fecundity ranges from 4 to 18, with a significant positive relationship between uterine fecundity and maternal body length. In mature males, a peak in the proportion of mature spermatocysts in the testes was observed in July, whereas gonadosomatic index peaked in April.

Preferência de Cotesia flavipes (Cameron, 1891) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) por lagartas de Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius, 1794) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) alimentadas com diferentes cultivares de cana-de-açúcar

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar a preferência do parasitoide Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) por lagartas de Diatraea saccharalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), alimentadas com diferentes cultivares de cana-de-açúcar. O experimento foi conduzido em laboratório, em duas condições de alimentação, uma envolvendo lagartas de D. saccharalis, alimentadas em dieta artificial, e, a outra, com lagartas alimentadas em dieta artificial e mantidas temporariamente nos toletes dos cultivares de cana-de-açúcar. Os cultivares utilizados foram: SP80-1842 e SP81-3250, resistentes, e RB855536, suscetível à D. saccharalis. A preferência para oviposição das fêmeas de C. flavipes foi avaliada em testes com e sem chance de escolha, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamentos e 15 repetições. Lagartas de D. saccharalis com 19 dias de idade foram oferecidas para fêmeas de C. flavipes, acasaladas e com 24 horas de idade, em ambos os testes. No teste com chance de escolha, utilizou-se um olfatômetro, o qual constou de quatro compartimentos, em cujo centro liberaram-se quatro fêmeas de C. flavipes, enquanto, no teste sem chance de escolha, foram utilizadas placas de Petri, no interior das quais se colocou uma lagarta de D. saccharalis, oriunda das duas condições de alimentação. Nestes testes, foi observada a percentagem de parasitismo e, continua-mente, o comportamento da primeira escolha de fêmeas de C. flavipes, em intervalos de zero a um, um a três, três a cinco, cinco a oito e de oito a dez minutos após as liberações. Lagartas de D. saccharalis, oriundas da alimentação em dieta artificial com colmos triturados dos cultivares, foram igualmente preferidas para atratividade de fêmeas do parasitoide C. flavipes. A percentagem de parasitismo de lagartas de D. saccharalis, criadas com dietas artificiais com colmos dos cultivares SP80-1042 e RB855536, foi igualmente parasitadas por C. flavipes.

Identification of tsunami-induced deposits using numerical modeling and rock magnetism techniques: A study case of the 1755 Lisbon tsunami in Algarve, Portugal

Storm- and tsunami-deposits are generated by similar depositional mechanisms making their discrimination hard to establish using classic sedimentologic methods. Here we propose an original approach to identify tsunami-induced deposits by combining numerical simulation and rock magnetism. To test our method, we investigate the tsunami deposit of the Boca do Rio estuary generated by the 1755 earthquake in Lisbon which is well described in the literature. We first test the 1755 tsunami scenario using a numerical inundation model to provide physical parameters for the tsunami wave. Then we use concentration (MS. SIRM) and grain size (chi(ARM), ARM, B1/2, ARM/SIRM) sensitive magnetic proxies coupled with SEM microscopy to unravel the magnetic mineralogy of the tsunami-induced deposit and its associated depositional mechanisms. In order to study the connection between the tsunami deposit and the different sedimentologic units present in the estuary, magnetic data were processed by multivariate statistical analyses. Our numerical simulation show a large inundation of the estuary with flow depths varying from 0.5 to 6 m and run up of similar to 7 m. Magnetic data show a dominance of paramagnetic minerals (quartz) mixed with lesser amount of ferromagnetic minerals, namely titanomagnetite and titanohematite both of a detrital origin and reworked from the underlying units. Multivariate statistical analyses indicate a better connection between the tsunami-induced deposit and a mixture of Units C and D. All these results point to a scenario where the energy released by the tsunami wave was strong enough to overtop and erode important amount of sand from the littoral dune and mixed it with reworked materials from underlying layers at least 1 m in depth. The method tested here represents an original and promising tool to identify tsunami-induced deposits in similar embayed beach environments.
