James Butler Hickok (1837-1876), also known as “Wild Bill” Hickok, was an American gun-fighter, scout and spy. He was involved in altercations with others while working for the famous express company Russell, Majors and Waddell (in 1861), and later while working as a wagon master, scout, and spy for the Union forces during the Civil War. These altercations resulted in the deaths of 4 people, but Hickok was acquitted in all cases. An embellished article written about him in Harper’s magazine helped contribute to his reputation as a western hero. He served as a deputy U.S. marshal and sheriff in Kansas in the late 1860’s, helping to bring law and order to a previously lawless area. He gambled considerably, and during a card game on August 2, 1876, was shot and killed. The cards he was holding (two aces, two eights, and a jack) became known as the "dead man's hand."

Average longevity of the mountain hare (Lepus timidus L., 1758) has been estimated at nine years in the wild (Macdonald D. and Barrett, P. 1993 Mammals of Britain and Europe. Harper Collins Publishers, London) with a maximum recorded age of 18 years for one marked animal (Angerbjörn, A. and Flux, J. E. C. 1995 Lepus timidus. Mammalian Species 495: 1–11). However, the longevity of the Irish hare (L. t. hibernicus Bell 1837) is entirely unknown. A total of 14 Irish hares was trapped and tagged at Belfast International Airport, Co. Antrim from February to April 2005. The sex, age (juvenile or adult) and weight of each animal were recorded. Adults were taken as those individuals >8-10 months old defined by the fusing of the notch between the apophysis and diaphysis of the tibia and humerus (Flux, J. E. C. 1970 Journal of Zoology 161: 75-123). Individual identification was made by a system of colourcoded ear tags (Roxan iD Ltd. Selkirk, Scotland) being inserted in the centre of the pinna of each ear. Each ear tag (6 × 34 mm) and puncture site was disinfected with 70 per cent ethanol prior to insertion. An adult male, #001/002 ‘Blue/Blue’, was tagged on 3 March 2005 weighing 3.8 kg and was sighted during a return site visit on 4 April 2007. An adult female, #026/003 ‘Green/Yellow’, was tagged on 15 April 2005 weighing 4.0 kg and was sighted during return visits on 25 March 2010 and 19 October 2010. The latest possible date of birth for both individuals was spring/summer 2004. Consequently, they were at least 3 years and 6.5 years old, respectively. This is the first record of minimum Irish hare longevity in the wild. These observations suggest that ear tagging does not compromise animal welfare and is an effective means of long-term monitoring. Future research may utilize capture-mark-recapture methods.

Tässä tutkielmassa tutkin yhdysvaltalaisen aikalaislehdistön lukijoilleen välittämää julkisuuskuvaa Buffalo Billistä ja hänen Villin lännen show’staan sen toiminnan aikana 1883 ̶ 1913. Primääriaineistona käytän The New York Timesiä, mutta lisäksi hyödynnän myös pienempiä paikallislehtiä täydentämään kuvaa. William F. ”Buffalo Bill” Cody on yksi Villin lännen tunnetuimmista hahmoista ja hänen suurin saavutuksensa oli sen legendojen tekeminen tutuksi maailmanlaajuiselle yleisölle. Villin lännen show’n ohjelma koostui viidestä pääteemasta: ratsastustaidoista, ampumataidoista, eläinnäytöksistä, näytelmistä sekä tasankointiaanien ja valkoisten välisistä konflikteista. Tutkitulla ajanjaksolla aikalaislehdistön kuvaukset osoittautuivat hyvin myönteisiksi show’ta kohtaan ja kilpailijoista huolimatta se oli The New York Timesin mukaan ”the only and original Wild West”. Show’ta mainostettiin koko perheelle sopivana ja sen esityksissä vieraili vuosien aikana miljoonia katsojia. Ohjelman kantavana ideana oli kuitenkin väkivallan välttämättömyys lännen valloittamisessa. Samalla show’hun kuuluneet intiaanit esiteltiin areenalla ja lehdistössä hyvin stereotyyppisinä vihollisina, maalattuina ja verenhimoisina. Lehdistö, joka välitti lukijoilleen varsin intensiivisiä kuvauksia tapahtumista showareenalla, huolestui esityksien vaikutuksista lapsiin ja nuoriin. Buffalo Billin yhteistyökumppanit rakensivat hänelle sankarillisen imagon viihderomaanien ja show’n avulla. Riitaisan avioeroprosessin myötä ennen niin hyvä julkisuuskuva lehdistössä alkoi murentua, kun naisseikkailut ja muut salaisuudet tulivat päivänvaloon. Suurista tuloista huolimatta Buffalo Billillä oli vaikeuksia hallita talouttaan anteliaisuutensa ja huonojen sijoituksien vuoksi. Iän karttuessa ja terveyden heikentyessä hänen roolinsa show’ssa väheni, minkä seurauksena myös median kiinnostus alkoi hiipua. Villin lännen show ajautui konkurssiin vuonna 1913, mutta sitä ennen se kiersi lukuisat kaupungit Pohjois-Amerikassa ja Euroopassa. Aikalaislehdistön mukaan Buffalo Bill ja show olivat tehneet suuren vaikutuksen Yhdysvaltojen entiseen siirtomaaisäntään Britanniaan ja seuraava askel on vertailla näiden kahden maan lehdistön suhtautumista esitykseen.

Ex-secretário de Estado dos Negócios Estrangeiros de Portugal, o autor analisa as medidas tomadas por Portugal e Inglaterra em relação à abolição do tráfico de escravos. O Parlamento britânico adotou, em 1840, uma lei proposta por Lord Palmerston, autorizando os navios de guerra britânicos a "capturar, em todos os mares, as embarcações que, com bandeira portuguesa, se empreguem ou sejam suspeitas de empregar-se no tráfico da escravatura. O visconde de Sá da Bandeira, que havia negociado com o governo inglês vários acordos e projetos de tratados, escreveu um livro sobre o assunto, onde há informações históricas importantes não só a respeito da escravidão nas colônias portuguesas como nas inglesas, nas dinamarquesas, francesas, espanholas e nos Estados Unidos

American lobsters (Homarus americanus H. Milne Edwards, 1837) are imported live to Europe and should according regulations be kept in land-based tanks until sold. In spite of the strict regulations aimed specifically at preventing the introduction of this species into the NE Atlantic, several specimens of H. americanus have been captured in the wild, especially in Oslofjord, Norway since 1999. One of the great concerns is interbreeding between the introduced American species and the local European lobster, H. gammarus (Linnaeus, 1758). For this reason an awareness campaign was launched in 2000 focusing on morphologically "unusual" lobsters caught in local waters. Morphological characters have been based on colour and sub-ventral spines on the rostrum. Two samples of H. americanus were used for comparisons, as well as samples of European lobster from Oslofjord collected in 1992. Previous genetic analyses (allozymes, mtDNA and microsatellite DNA) have demonstrated that the American lobster is distinct from its European counterpart, with several additional alleles at many loci in addition to different allelic frequency distribution of alleles of "shared" alleles. During the present study, thirteen microsatellite loci were tested in the initial screening, and the three most discriminating loci (Hgam98, Hgam197b and Hgam47b) were used in a detailed comparison between the two species. A total of 45 unusual lobsters were reported captured from Ålesund (west) to Oslofjord (southeast) from 2001 to 2005 and these were analysed for the three microsatellite loci. Nine specimens were identified as American lobsters. Comparisons between morphological and genetic characteristics revealed that morphological differences are not reliable in discrimination the two species, or to identify hybrids. Further, some loci display almost no overlapping in allele frequency distribution for the reference samples analysed, thus providing a reliable tool to identify hybrids.

Oslerus osleri is a small nematode that infects the respiratory tract of domestic and wild canids and is responsible for causing chronic nodular tracheobronchitis. This paper aims to report a case of parasitism by O. osleri in a free-living maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) that was struck by a motor vehicle. Fecal samples were collected, and the presence of spiral larvae, with S-shaped tails, was observed on flotation. This characteristic was compatible with the Filaroididae Family larvae of O. osleri. Although the animal did not show clinical signs of respiratory system impairment, a tracheobronchoscopy was performed. Semitransparent nodules, 5 mm in diameter, containing adult parasites were observed in the third distal portion of the trachea, cranial to the carina. Larval morphological characteristics and the nodular locations were compatible with an O. osleri respiratory tract infection.

O século XIX, mais do que qualquer outra época, experimentou a gestação da maioria de nossos projetos de nação, estruturados a partir da emancipação política da nova pátria. Diversos intelectuais militaram nessa árdua tarefa de desenhar uma nova face de um Brasil com identidade própria, embora calçada sob um viso europeu. Entre esses gestores da nova identidade brasileira, um dos mais importantes foi o General José Vieira Couto de Magalhães (1837-1898), homem de Estado, político do Império e folclorista. Nesta dissertação, busco circunscrever a principal obra de Couto de Magalhães, O Selvagem (1876), nos cânones romântico e evolucionista de sua época, dentro de um projeto de "civilização" dos índios da Amazônia e o conseqüente momento de integração cultural desses povos e seus descendentes à população brasileira. Por mais que a principal justificativa da obra fosse um estudo sobre a incorporação do indígena às atividades rentáveis da economia nacional, o autor acabou por enfatizar a compreensão da língua como estratégia fundamental para atração pacífica das populações tidas então com "selvagens". Transitando entre o inventário racial e a tradução cultural dos grupos indígenas brasileiro, Couto de Magalhães buscava valorizar esse arsenal lingüístico como o mais verdadeiro e autêntico representante da nacionalidade brasileira. A análise é feita no sentido de entender quais os limites da tentativa de tradução que o autor se propôs a fazer das lendas indígenas para o mundo dos brancos, no intuito de legitimar sua escolha do índio como símbolo de nossa identidade.
