About half of the natural products did not show any QS inhibition. Twenty four percent of the tested compounds inhibited QS of the reporter without causing toxicity. The QS inhibitory activities of the most potent and abundant compounds were further investigated using the LuxR-based reporter E. coli pSB401 and the LasR-based reporter E. coli pSB1075. Midpacamide and tenuazonic acid were toxic to the tested reporters. QS-dependent luminescence of the LasR-based reporter, which is normally induced by N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone, was reduced by demethoxy encecalin and hymenialdisin at concentrations >6.6 mu M and 15 mu M, respectively. Hymenialdisin, demethoxy encecalin, microcolins A and B and kojic acid inhibited responses of the LuxR-based reporter induced by N-3-oxo-hexanoyl-L-homoserine lactone at concentrations >0.2 mu M, 2.2 mu M, 1.5 mu M, 15 mu M and 36 mu M, respectively. The ability to prevent microfouling by one of the compounds screened in this study (kojic acid; final concentrations 330 mu M and 1 mu M) was tested in a controlled mesocosm experiment. Kojic acid inhibited formation of microbial communities on glass slides, decreasing the densities of bacteria and diatoms in comparison with the control lacking kojic acid. The study suggests that natural products with QS inhibitory properties can be used for controlling biofouling communities.

TI Twentieth century delta C-13 variability in surface water dissolved inorganic carbon recorded by coralline algae in the northern North Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID OXYGEN-ISOTOPE FRACTIONATION; SYNTHETIC MAGNESIAN CALCITE; ANTHROPOGENIC CO2; STABLE OXYGEN; REGIME SHIFTS; RED ALGAE; CLIMATE; C-13; TEMPERATURE; ALASKA AB The oxygen isotopic composition and Mg/Ca ratios in the skeletons of long-lived coralline algae record ambient seawater temperature over time. Similarly, the carbon isotopic composition in the skeletons record delta C-13 values of ambient seawater dissolved inorganic carbon. Here, we measured delta C-13 in the coralline alga Clathromorphum nereostratum to test the feasibility of reconstructing the intrusion of anthropogenic CO2 into the northern North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea. The delta C-13 was measured in the high Mgcalcite skeleton of three C. nereostratum specimens from two islands 500 km apart in the Aleutian archipelago. In the records spanning 1887 to 2003, the average decadal rate of decline in delta C-13 values increased from 0.03% yr(-1) in the 1960s to 0.095% yr(-1) in the 1990s, which was higher than expected due to solely the delta C-13-Suess effect. Deeper water in this region exhibits higher concentrations of CO2 and low delta C-13 values. Transport of deeper water into surface water (i.e., upwelling) increases when the Aleutian Low is intensified. We hypothesized that the acceleration of the delta C-13 decline may result from increased upwelling from the 1960s to 1990s, which in turn was driven by increased intensity of the Aleutian Low. Detrended delta C-13 records also varied on 4-7 year and bidecadal timescales supporting an atmospheric teleconnection of tropical climate patterns to the northern North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea manifested as changes in upwelling.

TI Controls over aboveground forest carbon density on Barro Colorado Island, Panama SO BIOGEOSCIENCES LA English DT Article ID TROPICAL RAIN-FOREST; SECONDARY FORESTS; PERVASIVE ALTERATION; AMAZONIAN FORESTS; TREE COMMUNITIES; LIVE BIOMASS; WOOD DENSITY; DYNAMICS; SOIL; VEGETATION AB Despite the importance of tropical forests to the global carbon cycle, ecological controls over landscape-level variation in live aboveground carbon density (ACD) in tropical forests are poorly understood. Here, we conducted a spatially comprehensive analysis of ACD variation for a continental tropical forest - Barro Colorado Island, Panama (BCI) - and tested site factors that may control such variation. We mapped ACD over 1256 ha of BCI using airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), which was well-correlated with ground-based measurements of ACD in Panamanian forests of various ages (r(2) = 0.84, RMSE = 17MgCha(-1), P < 0.0001). We used multiple regression to examine controls over LiDAR-derived ACD, including slope angle, forest age, bedrock, and soil texture. Collectively, these variables explained 14% of the variation in ACD at 30-m resolution, and explained 33% at 100-m resolution. At all resolutions, slope (linked to underlying bedrock variation) was the strongest driving factor; standing carbon stocks were generally higher on steeper slopes. This result suggests that physiography may be more important in controlling ACD variation in Neotropical forests than currently thought. Although BCI has been largely undisturbed by humans for a century, past land-use over approximately half of the island still influences ACD variation, with younger forests (80-130 years old) averaging similar to 15% less carbon storage than old-growth forests (>400 years old). If other regions of relatively old tropical secondary forests also store less carbon aboveground than primary forests, the effects on the global carbon cycle could be substantial and difficult to detect with traditional satellite monitoring.

TI The fate of Amazonian forest fragments: A 32-year investigation SO BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION LA English DT Review DE Amazon; Community dynamics; Ecosystem processes; Edge effects; Habitat fragmentation; Long-term research; Matrix effects; Species extinctions; Tropical forests ID TROPICAL RAIN-FOREST; DUNG BEETLE COMMUNITIES; HABITAT FRAGMENTATION; BRAZILIAN AMAZON; TREE COMMUNITIES; LOCAL EXTINCTIONS; SPECIES RICHNESS; NUTRIENT CONCENTRATIONS; INSECTIVOROUS BIRDS; MOVEMENT PATTERNS AB We synthesize findings to date from the world's largest and longest-running experimental study of habitat fragmentation, located in central Amazonia. Over the past 32 years, Amazonian forest fragments ranging from 1 to 100 ha have experienced a wide array of ecological changes. Edge effects have been a dominant driver of fragment dynamics, strongly affecting forest microclimate, tree mortality, carbon storage, fauna, and other aspects of fragment ecology. However, edge-effect intensity varies markedly in space and time, and is influenced by factors such as edge age, the number of nearby edges, and the adjoining matrix of modified vegetation surrounding fragments. In our study area, the matrix has changed markedly over the course of the study (evolving from large cattle pastures to mosaics of abandoned pasture and regrowth forest) and this in turn has strongly influenced fragment dynamics and faunal persistence. Rare weather events, especially windstorms and droughts, have further altered fragment ecology. In general, populations and communities of species in fragments are hyperdynamic relative to nearby intact forest. Some edge and fragment-isolation effects have declined with a partial recovery of secondary forests around fragments, but other changes: such as altered patterns of tree recruitment, are ongoing. Fragments are highly sensitive to external vicissitudes, and even small changes in local land-management practices may drive fragmented ecosystems in markedly different directions. The effects of fragmentation are likely to interact synergistically with other anthropogenic threats such as logging, hunting, and especially fire, creating an even greater peril for the Amazonian biota.

Local studies of distributions along elevational gradients reveal small-scale patterns but do not allow generalizations among geographic regions or taxa. We critically assessed data from 249 studies of species elevational distributions in the American, African, and Asia-Pacific tropics. Of these, 150 had sufficient data quality, sampling intensity, elevational range, and freedom from serious habitat disturbance to permit robust across-study comparisons. We found four main patterns: (1) species classified as elevational specialists (upper- or lower-zone specialists) are relatively more frequent in the American than Asia-Pacific tropics, with African tropics being intermediate; (2) elevational specialists are rare on islands, especially oceanic and smaller continental islands, largely due to a paucity of upper-zone specialists; (3) a relatively high proportion of plants and ectothermic vertebrates (amphibians and reptiles) are upper-zone specialists; and (4) relatively few endothermic vertebrates (birds and mammals) are upper-zone specialists. Understanding these broad-scale trends will help identify taxa and geographic regions vulnerable to global warming and highlight future research priorities. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

One largely anecdotal observation is that polluted or degraded areas will accumulate more invaders than less-impacted sites. However, the role of abiotic factors alone in influencing invisibility has been difficult to isolate, often because the supply of potential invaders is confounded with conditions thought to increase vulnerability to invasion. Here, we conducted a field experiment to test how the assemblages of exotic versus native marine invertebrates changed during community assembly under different exposure levels of a common pollutant, copper. The experiment was conducted by deploying fouling panels in a Randomized Block Design in San Francisco Bay. Panels were periodically removed, placed into buckets with differing copper concentrations, and returned to the field after 3 days. This design allowed propagule availability to the plates to be statistically independent of short-term copper exposure. The results demonstrate that copper caused significant differences in community structure. Average native species richness was significantly affected by copper exposure, but average exotic richness was not. The total native species pool within treatments exhibited a greater than 40% decline within increasing copper, while the exotic species pool did not change significantly. These results confirm that anthropogenic alteration of abiotic factors influences invader success, indicating that management strategies to reduce invader impacts should include both efforts to improve environmental conditions as well as reduce invader supply.

Learning from general historical patterns of science and understanding social changes caused by growing economies, we propose changes in priorities for training taxonomists to reverse these losses. Academically trained professionals, parataxonomists (local assistants trained by professional biologists), youths educated with an emphasis on natural history, and self-supported expert amateurs are the major sources of taxonomists. Recruiting effort from each category is best determined by public attitudes toward education, as well as the availability of discretionary funds and leisure time. Instead of concentrating on descriptions of species and narrow studies of morphology and DNA, the duties of the few professional taxonomists of the future also will be to use cyberspace and a wide range of skills to recruit, train, and provide direction for expert amateurs, young students, parataxonomists, the general public, and governments.

Most animals are substantially smaller than vertebrates, and extremely small animals face significant challenges relating to nervous system design and function, yet little is known about their brain allometry. Within a well-defined monophyletic taxon, Formicidae (ants), we analyzed how brain size scales to body size. An analysis of brain allometry for individuals of a highly polymorphic leaf-cutter ant, Atta colombica, shows that allometric coefficients differ significantly for small (<1.4 mg body mass) versus large individuals (b = 0.6003 and 0.2919, respectively). Interspecifically, allometric patterns differ for small (<0.9 mg body mass) versus large species (n = 70 species). Using mean values for species, the allometric coefficient for smaller species (b = 0.7961) is significantly greater than that for larger ones (b = 0.669). The smallest ants had brains that constitute similar to 15% of their body mass, yet their brains were relatively smaller than predicted by an overall allometric coefficient of brain to body size. Our comparative and intraspecific studies show the extent to which nervous systems can be miniaturized in taxa exhibiting behavior that is apparently comparable to that of larger species or individuals.

The stratigraphical and geographical ranges of 847 dinosaurian species are analysed for palaeodiversity patterns and compared to several sampling metrics. The observed diversity of dinosaurs, Theropoda, Sauropodomorpha and Ornithischia, are positively correlated with sampling at global and regional scales. Sampling metrics for the same region correlate with each other, suggesting that different metrics often capture the same signal. Regional sampling metrics perform well as explanations for regional diversity patterns, but correlations with global diversity are weaker. Residual diversity estimates indicate that sauropodomorphs diversified during the Late Triassic, but major increases in the diversity of theropods and ornithischians did not occur until the Early Jurassic. Diversity increased during the Jurassic, but many groups underwent extinction during the Late Jurassic or at the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary. Although a recovery occurred during the Cretaceous, only sauropodomorphs display a long-term upward trend. The Campanian-Maastrichtian diversity 'peak' is largely a sampling artefact. There is little evidence for a gradualistic decrease in diversity prior to the end-Cretaceous mass extinction (except for ornithischians), and when such decreases do occur they are small relative to those experienced earlier in dinosaur evolution.

Proposed attempts to return the Everglades to more natural flow conditions will result in changes to the present transport of DOM from the Everglades Agricultural Area and the northern conservation areas to Florida Bay. In part, the restoration plan calls for increasing water flow throughout the Everglades by removing some of the manmade barriers to flow in place today. The land- and water-use practices associated with the plan will likely result in changes in the quality, quantity, and reactivity of DOM throughout the greater Everglades ecosystem. The authors discuss the factors controlling DOM concentrations and chemistry, present distribution of DOM throughout the Everglades, the potential effects of DOM on key water-quality issues, and the potential utility of dissolved organic matter as an indicator of success of restoration efforts.

To allow assessing the known biodiversity, SCAR-MarBIN "Register of Antarctic Marine Species (RAMS)" was compiled and published by a panel of 64 taxonomic experts. Thanks to this outstanding expertise mobilized for the first time, an accurate list of more than 8100 valid species was compiled and an up-to-date systematic classification comprising more than 16,800 taxon names was established. This taxonomic information is progressively and systematically completed by species occurrence data, provided by literature, taxonomic and biogeographic databases, new data from CAML and other cruises, and museum collections. RAMS primary role was to establish a benchmark of the present taxonomic knowledge of the Southern Ocean biodiversity, particularly important in the context of the growing realization of potential impacts of the global change on Antarctic ecosystems. This, in turn, allowed detecting gaps in knowledge, taxonomic treatment and coverage, and estimating the importance of the taxonomic impediment, as well as the needs for more complete and efficient taxonomic tools. A second, but not less important, role of RAMS was to contribute to the "taxonomic backbone" of the SCAR-MarBIN, OBIS and GBIF networks, to establish a dynamic information system on Antarctic marine biodiversity for the future. The unknown part of the Southern Ocean biodiversity was approached by pointing out what remains to be explored and described in terms of geographical locations and bathymetric zones, habitats, or size classes of organisms. The growing importance of cryptic species is stressed, as they are more and more often detected by molecular studies in several taxa. Relying on RAMS results and on some case studies of particular model groups, the question of the potential number of species that remains to be discovered in the Southern Ocean is discussed. In terms of taxonomic inputs to the census of Southern Ocean biodiversity, the current rate of progress in inventorying the Antarctic marine species as well as the state of taxonomic resources and capacity were assessed. Different ways of improving the taxonomic inputs are suggested. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

TI The Southern Ocean: Source and sink? SO DEEP-SEA RESEARCH PART II-TOPICAL STUDIES IN OCEANOGRAPHY LA English DT Article; Proceedings Paper CT Symposium on Census of Antarctic Marine Life - Diversity and Change in Southern Ocean Ecosystems CY MAY, 2009 CL Genoa, ITALY DE Benthoctopus; Antarctic zone; Phylogenetics; Marine molluscs; Thermohaline circulation ID CEPHALOPODA OCTOPODIDAE; MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY; OCTOPUSES CEPHALOPODA; RATE HETEROGENEITY; MOLLUSCA; SEA; REDESCRIPTION; ATLANTIC; MODEL; GENUS AB Many members of the benthic fauna of the Antarctic continental shelf share close phylogenetic relationships to the deep-sea fauna adjacent to Antarctica and in other ocean basins. It has been suggested that connections between the Southern Ocean and the deep sea have been facilitated by the presence of a deep Antarctic continental shelf coupled with submerging Antarctic bottom water and emerging circumpolar deep water. These conditions may have allowed 'polar submergence', whereby shallow Southern Ocean fauna have colonised the deep sea and 'polar emergence', whereby deep-sea fauna colonised the shallow Southern Ocean. A recent molecular study showed that a lineage of deep-sea and Southern Ocean octopuses with a uniserial sucker arrangement on their arms appear to have arisen via polar submergence. A distantly related clade of octopuses with a biserial sucker arrangement on their arms (historically placed in the genus Benthoctopus) is also present in the deepsea basins of the world and the Southern Ocean. To date their evolutionary history has not been examined. The present study investigated the origins of this group using 3133 base pairs (bp) of nucleotide data from five mitochondrial genes (12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I. cytochrome c oxidase subunit III, cytochrome b) and the nuclear gene rhodopsin from at least 18 species (and 7 outgroup taxa). Bayesian relaxed clock analyses showed that Benthoctopus species with a high-latitude distribution in the Southern Hemisphere represent a paraphyletic group comprised of three independent clades. The results suggest that the Benthoctopus clade originated in relatively shallow Northern Hemisphere waters. Benthoctopus species distributed in the Southern Ocean are representative of polar emergence and occur at shallower depths than non-polar Benthoctopus species. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

A dedicated telescope, ASTEP400, has been developped and installed at Concordia. The first campaign took place during the winter 2010, and the telescope functionned nominally during all the winter. A first analysis of the data leads to a precision of 189 and 205 ppm for WASP-19 and WASP-18 respectively, for continuous observations during 1 month. This shows that extremely high precision photometry is achievable from Dome C.

We collected top-of-canopy leaf samples from 2873 individuals in 57 sites spread across the Neotropics, Australasia, and Caribbean and Pacific Islands to quantify environmental and taxonomic drivers of LMA variation, and to advance remote-sensing measures of LMA. We uncovered strong taxonomic organization of LMA, with species accounting for 70% of the global variance and up to 62% of the variation within a forest stand. Climate, growth habit, and site conditions are secondary contributors (1-23%) to the observed LMA patterns. Intraspecific variation in LMA averages 16%, which is a fraction of the variation observed between species. We then used spectroscopic remote sensing (400-2500 nm) to estimate LMA with an absolute uncertainty of 14-15 g/m(2) (r(2) = 2 0.85), or similar to 10% of the global mean. With radiative transfer modeling, we demonstrated the scalability of spectroscopic remote sensing of LMA to the canopy level. Our study indicates that remotely sensed patterns of LMA will be driven by taxonomic variation against a backdrop of environmental controls expressed at site and regional levels.

In this study, we explored the relative contributions of biotic interactions and physical factors to habitat segregation in T. micrantha. Field surveys showed that soils from landslides were significantly richer in available phosphorus and harbored distinct arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal (AMF) communities compared to gap soils. Greenhouse experiments designed to determine the effect of these abiotic and biotic differences showed that: (1) both landslide and gap species performed better in sterilized soil from their own habitat, (2) the availability of phosphorus and nitrogen was limiting in gap and landslide soils, respectively, (3) a standardized AMF inoculum increased performance of both species, but primarily on gap soils, and (4) landslide and gap species performed better when sterilized soils were inoculated with the microbial inoculum from their own habitat. A field experiment confirmed that survival and growth of each species was highest in its corresponding habitat. This experiment also showed that browsing damage significantly decreased survival of gap Trema on landslides. We conclude that belowground interactions with soil microbes and aboveground interactions with herbivores contribute in fundamental ways to processes that may promote and reinforce adaptive speciation.

To test this hypothesis, we conducted a latitudinal-scale experiment with marine epifaunal communities. In four regions of the North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, we used mimics of ecosystem engineers to manipulate biogenic structural complexity. We iteratively evaluated diversity patterns of experimental communities up to one year after deployment. Additional data were also collected from one of our tropical sites 2.5 years after initial deployment. As hypothesized, we found a reciprocal latitudinal gradient in the effects of the structurally complex mimics and regional enrichment. In the tropics, local diversity was always higher in association with the mimics than in exposed areas that were more open to predation. This effect was consistent across two spatial scales and beyond the one-year timescale of the experiment. In temperate communities, no consistent effects of the mimics on diversity were observed. However, the proportion of species from the regional species pool that were present at the local scale increased from the tropics to the temperate zone, consistent with the hypothesis that higher-latitude communities may experience greater influence from the regional species pool than communities at low latitudes. This study represents the first large-scale experimental demonstration that suggests that the relative impact of local interactions and regional enrichment on community diversity may depend on latitude.

TI Localization Error and Search Costs during Mate Choice in Tungara Frogs, Physalaemus pustulosus SO ETHOLOGY LA English DT Article ID PREDATION RISK; SEXUAL SELECTION; FEMALE; BEHAVIOR; ADVERTISEMENT; PREFERENCES; PERFORMANCE; COURTSHIP; DENSITY; ANURAN AB Search costs can have profound influences on female choice, causing females to become less choosy or sample less of the diversity of available mates. Predator foraging strategies, however, determine exactly how search time affects predator encounter rates. Ambush predators are more likely to be encountered by females traveling longer distances to evaluate males, but evaluation time is unlikely to influence encounter-rate with this type of predator. Actively searching predators, however, may be more likely to be encountered by females employing longer travel times and evaluation times. In this study, we examine the effects of perceived search costs on both temporal and spatial aspects of the search behavior of female tungara frogs, Physalaemus pustulosus. Females were collected from natural choruses and presented with conspecific calls at a distance of 50, 115, or 180 cm from their release point. Assays were conducted in either darkness or simulated full moon light levels. Longer starting distances caused longer choice latencies, but choice latency was considerably lowered under higher light conditions. Females spent considerably less time moving under higher light conditions; however, light levels did not affect path length. Females were more likely to leave the release point with more accurate orientation to the sound source under higher light conditions. We demonstrate that females can respond to perceived search costs by altering spatial and temporal aspects of female search behavior. The overall emphasis of females on reducing time spent moving and increasing movement speed indicates that predation by actively searching predators represents a stronger cost to females than ambush predators.

In an area of ca. 1000 ha, we found a total of 476 species of vascular epiphytes. This marks a new diversity record among lowland rainforest sites. Species composition was closely related to nearby lowland forest sites but not to montane sites. The floristic similarity with lowland sites decreased with distance and relative position towards the Andes. On basis of isotope discrimination, the proportion of species with Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM) was found to be low compared to other studies, and many of these species showed a rather weak expression of this photosynthetic pathway. This observation and distributional shifts in 15% of the species in the study area towards lower elevations suggest that local water availability is high which in turn is arguably responsible for the high species richness.

(Montiaceae), an annual succulent herb endemic to Australia, is an exemplary facultative crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) plant as demonstrated by continuous whole-plant lifetime CO2 exchange measurements under controlled conditions in the laboratory. Reduced soil water availability induced a shift from solely daytime CO2 fixation to dark CO2 fixation. The shift from C-3 photosynthesis to CAM was reversible either upon rewatering alone, or upon a combination of rewatering and addition of nutrients. These observations highlight the role of edaphic conditions in controlling CAM expression in a plant that has the option of fixing CO2 either during the day or during the night, providing further evidence that this extreme form of photosynthetic plasticity is primarily controlled by the environment rather than plant ontogeny. The stimulating effect of soil nutrients on CO2 fixation in the light and its negative effect on dark CO2 fixation have not been described previously and deserve further attention. In the most widely used CAM model system, the halophytic Mesembryanthemum crystallinum L., CAM is typically induced by high salinity, and some metabolic responses may be CAM-unrelated and related to salt stress per se. C. polyandra could be an excellent complementary system for studying the biochemical and molecular foundations of CAM because drought stress elicits a complete C-3 to CAM transition.

Besides the normal expansion, there is an additional influx of literature because of interdisciplinary boundaries becoming more and more diffuse. Hence, the need for accurate, efficient and intelligent search tools is bigger than ever. Even with a sophisticated search engine, looking for information can still result in overwhelming results. An overload of information has the intrinsic danger of scaring visitors away, and any organization, for-profit or not-for-profit, in the business of providing scholarly information wants to capture and keep the attention of its target audience. Publishers and search engine engineers alike will benefit from a service that is able to provide visitors with recommendations that closely meet their interests. Providing visitors with special deals, new options and highlights may be interesting to a certain degree, but what makes more sense (especially from a commercial point of view) than to let visitors do most of the work by the mere action of making choices? Hiring psychics is not an option, so a technological solution is needed to recommend items that a visitor is likely to be looking for. In this presentation we will introduce such a solution and argue that it is practically feasible to incorporate this approach into a useful addition to any information retrieval system with enough usage.

The H30 alpha line is sensitive to the high-density ionized gas in the minispiral structure. We compare the velocity field obtained from H30 alpha line emission to a Keplerian model, and our results suggest that the supermassive black hole at Sgr A* dominates the dynamics of the ionized gas. However, we also detect significant deviations from Keplerian motion, which show that the impact of strong stellar winds from the massive stars along the ionized flows and the interaction between Northern and Eastern arms play significant roles in the local gas dynamics.

Nevertheless, many young stars (both 0 and B stars) are observed close the MBH. The B-stars seems to have an isotropic, continuous distribution between 0.01 pc and up to a pc. The 0 stars, in contrast, seem to be distributed in a coherent disk like configuration, extending only between similar to 0.04 pc to similar to 0.5 pc. Our current understanding favors an in-situ formation origin for the more massive (O and Wolf-Rayet) stars, in gaseous disk and/or streams from an infalling gas clump. The B-stars seem to have a different origin, more likely through a dynamical capture, following binary disruption by the MBH. This scenario could also be able to explain the origin of hypervelocity stars in the Galactic halo. These and other possible origins of the young stars in the Galactic center are briefly reviewed and their possible observational signatures and constraints are detailed.

GR polarimetric imaging is presented as well as the results for spectrum for a probable set of spins and orientations. Precise fitting formulae for Faraday rotation and Faraday conversion coefficients are employed for thermal plasma. The axisymmetic flow pattern and the magnetic field geometry correspond to averaged 3D GRMHD simulations near the black hole, whereas the analytic model was used far from the black hole. The density scaling is found by fitting the sub-mm flux. Spin a = 0.7 and inclination angle theta = 0.6 produce the best fit to sub-mm flux and linear polarization fraction.

The model extends from several arcseconds to black hole (BH) gravitational radius, describing the outer accretion flow together with the infalling region. The model incorporates electron heat conduction, relativistic heat capacity of particles and feeding by stellar winds. Stellar winds from each star are considered separately as sources of mass, momentum and energy. Self-consistent search for the stagnation and sonic points is performed. Most of gas is found to outflow from the region. The accretion rate is limited to below 1% of Bondi rate due to the effect of thermal conduction enhanced by entropy production in a turbulent flow. The X-Ray brightness profile proves too steep near the BH, thus a synchrotron self-Compton point source is inferred with luminosity L similar to 3 . 10(32) erg/s.

Sediment core analyses and geophysical surveys in this study support recent archaeological findings and the hypothesis that the margin may once have served as a harbor and/or shipyard. The subsurface Holocene stratigraphy records that (1) the shoreline advanced to a maximum landward position before Greek settlement, then regressed offshore to what is now the inner shelf before once again migrating landward. These marked coastal shifts were triggered primarily by land uplift and probable subsidence offshore along this structurally active Calabrian Arc segment. Associated with this are: (2) a sediment fining-upward sequence in Greek-Roman time that indicates only partial protection of the coastal area, and (3) possible presence of subsurface structures seaward of the city wall in a sector now positioned similar to 200 m offshore.

Work conducted in 2005 and 2006 completed the exploration of Late Archaic levels within the Communal Dining Building ( putative andreion complex), the Monumental Civic Building, and the adjacent Service Building. These contexts and their assemblages, especially the animal and plant remains, permit the characterization of diverse dining practices and the interpretation of patterns of food production and consumption. Both the Communal Dining Building and the Monumental Civic Building show extensive evidence of communal feasting and the integration of cult.

ITEAMS (Innovative Technology-Enabled Astronomy for Middle Schools) - an out-of-school-time program with online, robotic telescopes as its central focus targets girls and minority students underrepresented in STEM-related vocations. The participating students attend urban schools in Eastern Massachusetts. ITEAMS' twofold goal is to: a) provide inspiration for the participants to pursue STEM careers, and b) increase the students' mastery of foundational subject matter so they are prepared for the rigor of further STEM study. We use an online system for surveys and assessments, the former to capture attitudinal changes about career choices, and the latter to assess the students' subject matter knowledge. Participating students take pre-, intermediate, and post subject-matter tests and career-interest surveys. While we find statistically significant gains in subject matter knowledge free of gender, race, or school bias, we also find girls profess less interest than boys in STEM careers as early as grades five and six, although other attitudinal indicators suggest ways to reverse that trend.

As a cash crop, coffee cultivation gained popularity in the Old and then the New world, and flourished under colonial regimes of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Coffee production patterns and management styles have changed drastically in the past two centuries and continue to shift, with the greatest recent expansions in East Asia. Traditionally, coffee is cultivated under a canopy of shade trees, a practice that ensures the longevity of the farm, supports biodiversity, and provides communities with a broad array of ecosystem services. However, many modern management schemes abandon shade practices. On the other hand, specialty coffee markets, like certified organic, certified shade (Bird Friendly), Fair Trade, and other certified coffees have gained recent popularity, though they still represent a small fraction of the global coffee economy. The global coffee economy is comprised of a wide array of coffee value chains that connect farmers with consumers, and thus impact farmer livelihoods at multiple spatial scales. Key players in the coffee value chain include local cooperatives, national government agencies, and global certification agencies. Similarly, ecosystem services provided by shade coffee occur at local, regional, and global scales, including pollination, erosion-control, and carbon sequestration, respectively. While the ecological and socio-economic costs and benefits associated with shade coffee are clear, this review reveals that there are many challenges to bridging sustainable coffee management with livelihood security. Furthermore, in this review we identify existing gaps in the literature and a number of promising research directions concerning the ecological and socio-economic impacts of coffee production.

Our study area stretches similar to 90 km from north to south along the River Nizhnyaya Tunguska in northern Irkustk district. Cross-dated tree-ring chronology for all samples combined extended from the year 1360 AD to the present and included 76 fire years and 88 separate fire events. Average fire cycle gradually lengthened from 52 years in the 18th century to 164 years in the 20th century. During the same time, the number of recorded fires decreased even more steeply, i.e. by more than 85%. Fires were more numerous but smaller in the past. Contrary to expectations, climate change in the 20th century has not resulted in increased forest fires in this region. Fire suppression may have contributed to the scarcity of fires since the 1950s. However, a significant decline in fires was evident earlier; therefore an additional explanation is required, a reduction in human-caused ignitions being likely in the light of historical accounts.

Diaz-Valdes, Marta TI The symbiotic shrimp Ascidonia flavomaculata lives solitarily in the tunicate Ascidia mentula: implications for its mating system SO INVERTEBRATE BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE territoriality; solitary; host use; symbiosis; Caridea ID MATE-GUARDING HYPOTHESIS; SOCIAL MONOGAMY; SNAPPING SHRIMP; SEA-ANEMONE; LIFE-HISTORY; HOST CHARACTERISTICS; INACHUS-PHALANGIUM; PACIFIC COAST; CARIBBEAN SEA; PINNA-CARNEA AB Symbiotic crustaceans are expected to live solitarily with their hosts when members of their host species are small (relative to symbiont body size) and structurally simple. We tested the hypothesis of a solitary lifestyle in Ascidonia flavomaculata, a symbiotic shrimp that inhabits the branchial chamber of the relatively small and structurally simple tunicate Ascidia mentula in the subtidal zone of the Islas Baleares, Spain. We found that members of A. flavomaculata dwell as solitary individuals in the branchial chamber of ascidians at a higher frequency than expected by chance alone. Given this host use pattern of A. flavomaculata, we hypothesized that males actively move among host individuals in search of receptive females. We provide several lines of evidence consistent with that hypothesis. First, a positive correlation between shrimp and host body size was detected for females, but not for males, during one of the sampling seasons. If males as well as females spend long periods of time within their host individuals, a positive correlation between shrimp and host body size should have been found for both males and females. Second, the body sizes of individuals in the few male-female pairs observed during this study were poorly correlated. If males of A. flavomaculata shared their host individuals with females for long periods of time, a positive correlation between the sizes of males and females in a pair should have been found. Lastly, the body sizes of paired males were larger than those of solitary males during summer, when reproduction was more intense. This difference in body size between paired and solitary males additionally suggests competition among putatively roaming males for receptive females. Manipulative experiments and behavioral observations are necessary to reveal the details of the mating system of A. flavomaculata and other symbiotic crustaceans with a solitary lifestyle.

Larval information is unknown for 61% of the taxa included in this study. To understand the effects of including characters with large sets of missing data, three alternative datasets were analysed using parsimony and Bayesian methods. Five outgroup taxa, including the four families in Psychomyioidea and the single family in Hydropsychoidea, were used in all datasets. Monophyly of Polycentropodidae, as currently defined, was rejected and the monophyly of the three largest cosmopolitan genera, Polycentropus, Polyplectropus and Nyctiophylax, was not confirmed. Monophyly of Pseudoneureclipsinae, including the genera Antillopsyche and Pseudoneureclipsis, was supported in all analyses. The placement of Pseudoneureclipsis within Dipseudopsidae was rejected. Monophyly of Kambaitipsychinae was supported, but its placement within Polycentropodidae was not confirmed. Analyses were sensitive to either inclusion or exclusion of characters from immature stages. Based on the results of these analyses, the following taxonomic changes are established: Kambaitipsychidae, stat. nov. and Pseudoneureclipsidae, stat. nov. are elevated to family status. North American Polycentropus species originally described in either Plectrocnemia or Holocentropus are returned to their original combinations and North American species described in Polycentropus post-1944 are transferred to either Holocentropus or Plectrocnemia.

A first attempt to revise the taxonomy of this genus is here presented, based on material collected at Carrie Bow Cay (CBC, Belize), as well as at other sites along the Yucatan Peninsula, representing a variety of habitat types (coralline rock-coral rubbles, sponges, coralline sands, Thalassia testudinum meadows) and depths (0.5-20 m). The collected new taxa found were described and compared with literature description of other known species, as well as with museum specimens of the type-species of the genus, Lysidice ninetta Audouin & Milne Edwards, which has been confused with and synonymized with many Caribbean morphotypes of Lysidice. The analysis reveals the presence of five previously undescribed species of Lysidice: L. caribensis n. sp. and L. adrianae n. sp., preferentially associated with coralline rock; L. thalassicola n. sp. associated with Thalassia testudinum meadows, as a borer in the seagrass sheaths, and representing the only polychaete species strictly associated with Thalassia; lastly, L. carriebowensis n. sp. and L. phyllisae n. sp. are less common and collected only at CBC in association with coralline rock (coral rubble). Several specimens of the three more common new species, L. caribensis, L. thalassicola and L. adrianae were found mature, both males and females, with an epitokous transformation in which nearly two-thirds of the body is swollen and full of gametes, and with eyes extraordinarily enlarged. The ultrastrucure analysis of mature spermatozoa of L. caribensis and L. adrianae shows a typical ect-aquasperm structure. These show that Lysidice is a highly diversified genus in the Western Caribbean, with the different species showing clear habitat and geographic separation. C1 [Gambi, M.

Behavioural, morphological and coloration plasticity are common responses of prey to predation risk. Theory predicts that prey should respond to the relative magnitude of risk, rather than a single level of response to any risk level. In addition to conspecific and predator densities, prey growth and differentiation rates affect the duration of vulnerability to size- and stage-limited predators and therefore the relative value of defences. 2. We reared tadpoles of the Neotropical treefrog Dendropsophus ebraccatus with or without cues from a predator (Belostoma sp.) in ecologically relevant warm or cool temperatures. To track phenotypic changes, we measured morphology, tail coloration and developmental stage at three points during the larval period. 3. Cues from predators interacted with growth conditions causing tadpoles to alter their phenotype, changing only tail colour in response to predators in warm water, but both morphology and colour in cool growth conditions. Tadpoles with predators in warm water altered coloration early but converged on the morphology of predator-free controls. Water temperature alone had no effect on tadpole phenotype. 4. We demonstrate that seemingly small variation in abiotic environmental conditions can alter the expression of phenotypic plasticity, consistent with predictions about how growth rate affects risk. Predator-induced tadpole phenotypes depended on temperature, with strong expression only in temperatures that slow development. Thermal modulation of plastic responses to predators may be broadly relevant to poikilotherm development. It is important to include a range of realistic growth conditions in experiments to more fully understand the ecological and evolutionary significance of plasticity.

TI A Single-Laboratory Validated Method for the Generation of DNA Barcodes for the Identification of Fish for Regulatory Compliance SO JOURNAL OF AOAC INTERNATIONAL LA English DT Article ID PHYLOGENETIC TREES; SEAFOOD; LIFE AB The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is responsible for ensuring that the nation's food supply is safe and accurately labeled. This task is particularly challenging in the case of seafood where a large variety of species are marketed, most of this commodity is imported, and processed product is difficult to identify using traditional morphological methods. Reliable species identification is critical for both foodborne illness investigations and for prevention of deceptive practices, such as those where species are intentionally mislabeled to circumvent import restrictions or for resale as species of higher value. New methods that allow accurate and rapid species identifications are needed, but any new methods to be used for regulatory compliance must be both standardized and adequately validated. "DNA barcoding" is a process by which species discriminations are achieved through the use of short, standardized gene fragments. For animals, a fragment (655 base pairs starting near the 5' end) of the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 mitochondrial gene has been shown to provide reliable species level discrimination in most cases. We provide here a protocol with single-laboratory validation for the generation of DNA barcodes suitable for the identification of seafood products, specifically fish, in a manner that is suitable for FDA regulatory use.

This has been attributed to adaptation to a hypercarnivorous diet and subsequent loss of the ability to downregulate amino acid catabolism. A quantitative analysis of brain glucose requirements reveals that in cats on their natural diet, a significant proportion of protein must be diverted into gluconeogenesis to supply the brain. According to the model presented here, the high protein requirement of the domestic cat is the result of routing of amino acids into gluconeogenesis to supply the needs of the brain and other glucose-requiring tissues, resulting in oxidation of amino acid in excess of the rate predicted for a non-hypercarnivorous mammal of the same size. Thus, cats and other small hypercarnivores do not have a high protein requirement per se, but a high endogenous glucose demand that is met by obligatory amino acid-based gluconeogenesis. It is predicted that for hypercarnivorous mammals with the same degree of encephalisation, endogenous nitrogen losses increase with decreasing metabolic mass as a result of the allometric relationships of brain mass and brain metabolic rate with body mass, possibly imposing a lower limit for body mass in hypercarnivorous mammals.

TI Testing a phenomenologically extended DGP model with upcoming weak lensing surveys SO JOURNAL OF COSMOLOGY AND ASTROPARTICLE PHYSICS LA English DT Article DE modified gravity; power spectrum; weak gravitational lensing; cosmological applications of theories with extra dimensions ID HUBBLE-SPACE-TELESCOPE; PROBE WMAP OBSERVATIONS; DARK ENERGY; MODIFIED GRAVITY; POWER SPECTRA; COSMOLOGY; CONSTRAINTS; SUPERNOVAE; GALAXIES; DISCOVERIES AB A phenomenological extension of the well-known brane-world cosmology of Dvali, Gabadadze and Porrati (eDGP) has recently been proposed. In this model, a cosmological-constant-like term is explicitly present as a non-vanishing tension sigma on the brane, and an extra parameter alpha tunes the cross-over scale r(c), the scale at which higher dimensional gravity effects become non negligible. Since the Hubble parameter in this cosmology reproduces the same Lambda CDM expansion history, we study how upcoming weak lensing surveys, such as Euclid and DES (Dark Energy Survey), can confirm or rule out this class of models. We perform Monte CarloMarkov Chain simulations to determine the parameters of the model, using Type Ia Supernov, H(z) data, Gamma Ray Bursts and Baryon Acoustic Oscillations. We also fit the power spectrum of the temperature anisotropies of the Cosmic Microwave Background to obtain the correct normalisation for the density perturbation power spectrum. Then, we compute the matter and the cosmic shear power spectra, both in the linear and non-linear regimes. The latter is calculated with the two different approaches of Hu and Sawicki (2007) (HS) and Khoury and Wyman (2009) (KW). With the eDGP parameters coming from the Markov Chains, KW reproduces the Lambda CDM matter power spectrum at both linear and nonlinear scales and the Lambda CDM and eDGP shear signals are degenerate. This result does not hold with the HS prescription. Indeed, Euclid can distinguish the eDGP model from Lambda CDM because their expected power spectra roughly differ by the 3 sigma uncertainty in the angular scale range 700 less than or similar to l less than or similar to 3000; on the contrary, the two models differ at most by the 1 sigma uncertainty over the range 500 less than or similar to l less than or similar to 3000 in the DES experiment and they are virtually indistinguishable.

Plant defence theory provides a robust framework for understanding interactions between plants and antagonists, and for interpreting broad patterns in the functional-trait composition of plant communities. However, this framework has been built almost entirely on traits expressed by seedlings and mature plants. 2. No equivalent seed defence theory exists that recognizes the distinct suite of natural enemies that seeds encounter, and the unique constraints to their response. Furthermore, most attention has been paid to insect and vertebrate seed predators active above ground, whereas microbes in soil also have large effects on seed survival, particularly for plants that recruit from soil seed banks. 3. We suggest that concurrent selection on seed dormancy and resistance to microbial antagonists should result in distinct seed defence syndromes. We predict that species with physical seed dormancy will rely on physical defences to exclude predators and pathogens, and rapid seed germination to escape pathogens at the emergence stage. In contrast, species with physiological seed dormancy will deploy a continuum of physical and chemical defences, depending on soil pathogen pressure and duration of seed persistence. Finally, seeds of some species persist in the soil in a non-dormant, imbibed state, and lack obvious chemical and physical defences. These seeds may be especially dependent upon protection from beneficial seed-inhabiting microbes. 4. Framing a general 'seed defence theory' may help to account for the distribution of seed dormancy types across ecosystems. We predict that physiological dormancy will be favoured in dry or well-drained environments where pathogen pressure is relatively low, germination cues are most unpredictable, and seedling recruitment success is most variable. In contrast, physical dormancy should be favoured in warm and moist environments where pathogen pressure is high, and where germination cues are a stronger predictor of recruitment success. Persistent, non-dormant seeds are restricted to relatively aseasonal environments where favourable conditions for recruitment can occur over most of the year. 5. Synthesis. Integrating seed defence and dormancy traits can provide new insights into selection on dormancy types, and will help elucidate major trends in seed ecology and evolution. Understanding how seeds are defended also may improve our ability to predict plant regeneration and help develop innovative management strategies for weedy and invasive species.

TI Mechanics, hydrodynamics and energetics of blue whale lunge feeding: efficiency dependence on krill density SO JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE blue whale; diving; drag; energetics; filter feeding; foraging ID DIEL VERTICAL MIGRATION; FIN WHALES; MARINE MAMMALS; EUPHAUSIA-SUPERBA; HUMPBACK WHALES; BALEEN WHALES; BALAENOPTERA-PHYSALUS; RORQUAL WHALES; MEGAPTERA-NOVAEANGLIAE; FORAGING BEHAVIOR AB Lunge feeding by rorqual whales (Balaenopteridae) is associated with a high energetic cost that decreases diving capacity, thereby limiting access to dense prey patches at depth. Despite this cost, rorquals exhibit high rates of lipid deposition and extremely large maximum body size. To address this paradox, we integrated kinematic data from digital tags with unsteady hydrodynamic models to estimate the energy budget for lunges and foraging dives of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), the largest rorqual and living mammal. Our analysis suggests that, despite the large amount of mechanical work required to lunge feed, a large amount of prey and, therefore, energy is obtained during engulfment. Furthermore, we suggest that foraging efficiency for blue whales is significantly higher than for other marine mammals by nearly an order of magnitude, but only if lunges target extremely high densities of krill. The high predicted efficiency is attributed to the enhanced engulfment capacity, rapid filter rate and low mass-specific metabolic rate associated with large body size in blue whales. These results highlight the importance of high prey density, regardless of prey patch depth, for efficient bulk filter feeding in baleen whales and may explain some diel changes in foraging behavior in rorqual whales.

TI A diverse family of novel peptide toxins from an unusual cone snail, Conus californicus SO JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY LA English DT Article DE sodium channels; conotoxins; peptides; peptidomics ID GATED SODIUM-CHANNELS; GASTROPOD GENUS CONUS; FIBER LOBE NEURONS; MU-O-CONOTOXINS; VENOM PEPTIDES; POSTTRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATIONS; MARINE GASTROPODS; HIGH-RESOLUTION; NERVOUS-SYSTEM; K+ CHANNEL AB Diversity among Conus toxins mirrors the high species diversity in the Indo-Pacific region, and evolution of both is thought to stem from feeding-niche specialization derived from intra-generic competition. This study focuses on Conus californicus, a phylogenetic outlier endemic to the temperate northeast Pacific. Essentially free of congeneric competitors, it preys on a wider variety of organisms than any other cone snail. Using molecular cloning of cDNAs and mass spectrometry, we examined peptides isolated from venom ducts to elucidate the sequences and post-translational modifications of two eight-cysteine toxins (cal12a and cal12b of type 12 framework) that block voltage-gated Na+ channels. Based on homology of leader sequence and mode of action, these toxins are related to the O-superfamily, but differ significantly from other members of that group. Six of the eight cysteine residues constitute the canonical framework of O-members, but two additional cysteine residues in the N-terminal region define an O+2 classification within the O-superfamily. Fifteen putative variants of Cal12.1 toxins have been identified by mRNAs that differ primarily in two short hypervariable regions and have been grouped into three subtypes (Cal12.1.1-3). This unique modular variation has not been described for other Conus toxins and suggests recombination as a diversity-generating mechanism. We propose that these toxin isoforms show specificity for similar molecular targets (Na+ channels) in the many species preyed on by C. californicus and that individualistic utilization of specific toxin isoforms may involve control of gene expression.

Mark TI PLANKTIC FORAMINIFERAL SPECIES TURNOVER ACROSS DEEP-SEA APTIAN/ALBIAN BOUNDARY SECTIONS SO JOURNAL OF FORAMINIFERAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article ID STRONTIUM-ISOTOPE STRATIGRAPHY; SUBTROPICAL NORTH-ATLANTIC; ANOXIC EVENT 1B; BIOSTRATIGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS; DRILLING-PROJECT; TAXONOMIC REVISION; FALKLAND PLATEAU; ALBIAN STAGE; BLAKE NOSE; SEDIMENTS AB A major planktic foraminiferal species turnover accompanied by a dramatic reduction in shell size, a fundamental change in shell architecture, and a precipitous drop in the abundance of planktic relative to benthic species occurs across the Aptian/Albian boundary interval (AABI) at globally distributed deep-sea sections. Extinction of the large and distinctive planktic foraminifer Paraticinella eubejaouaensis, used to denote a level at or near the Aptian/Albian boundary, coincides with the extinctions of relatively long-ranging Aptian species of Hedbergella and Glohigerinelloides. At Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP) Site 511 (southern South Atlantic), which is the most complete and best preserved of the studied AAB1 sections, the Aptian assemblage is of low diversity and species are replaced by initially one and then two very small, smooth-surfaced, thin-walled species of Microhedbergella n. gen. The oldest species of this genus, Mi. miniglobularis n. sp., probably descended from Hedbergella praelippa n. sp. and is the nominate taxon for a new lowermost Albian interval zone and is considered ancestral to several small, gradually evolving microperforate species, including Mi. praeplanispira n. sp., Mi. pseudoplanispira n.sp., and Mi. pseudodelrioensis n. sp., which range into the middle and upper Albian. The small hedbergellids that characterize the Mi. miniglobularis Interval Zone at Site 511 have also been identified from samples taken just above the Kilian black shale level in the Vocontian Basin of southeast France. The Albian record at Site 511 reveals a gradual increase in planktic foraminifera shell size and assemblage dominance, as well as the gradual evolution during the middle Albian of species characterized by a finely perforate, pustulose test. Taxa with this shell infrastructure are included in Muricohedbergella n. gen. A new "Ticinella yezoana" Partial Range Zone is erected at Site 511 for correlation of the middle-upper Albian at high latitudes. At Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1049 (western North Atlantic), which also yields well-preserved foraminifera across the AABI, Aptian species of Hedbergella, Globigerinelloides, and Pseudoguembelitria blakenosensis n. gen., n. sp. are replaced by lower Albian assemblages composed only of two minute species of Microhedbergella. However, this boundary section is considered incomplete because of the absence of the Mi. miniglobularis Zone. A new upper lower Albian Ti. madecassiana Zone is defined at Site 1049 for the interval between the lowest occurrence (LO) of the nominate taxon and the LO of Ti. primula, the nominate species of the middle Albian Ti. primula Zone. The AABI at DSDP Site 545 (eastern North Atlantic) has a major unconformity spanning the uppermost Aptian through the upper Albian. A black shale sequence previously placed in the lower Albian and designated as Oceanic Anoxic Event 1b is now determined to be latest Aptian in age. The AAB1 at ODP Site 763 (southeast Indian Ocean) is also marked by an unconformity between the upper Aptian Pa. eubejouaensis Zone and the lower Albian Mi. rischi Zone. This site needs further study to resolve whether overlap of species from both zones is the result of downslope reworking or an exception to the pattern of abrupt species turnover observed at the other deep-sea sites. The dramatic changes in planktic foraminiferal assemblages across the AABI suggest major changes in carbonate chemistry, vertical stratification, or productivity in the surface mixed layer occurred during the last 1 myr of the Aptian. Understanding the cause or causes for these changes will require much further investigation. C1 [Huber, Brian T.] Smithsonian Inst, Dept Paleobiol, Natl Museum Nat Hist, Washington, DC 20013 USA.

We assessed patterns of genetic structure in the giant tortoise of the Aldabra atoll, where previous ecological studies suggested population subdivisions as a result of landscape discontinuity due to unsuitable habitat and island separation. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequences and allelic variation at 8 microsatellite loci were conducted on tortoises sampled in 3 locations on the 2 major islands of Aldabra. We found no variation in mtDNA sequences. This pattern corroborated earlier work supporting the occurrence of a founding event during the last interglacial period and a further reduction in genetic variability during historical time. On the other hand, significant population structure recorded at nuclear loci suggested allopatric divergence possibly due to geographical barriers among islands and ecological partitions hindering tortoise movements within islands. This is the first attempt to study the population genetics of Aldabra tortoises, which are now at carrying capacity in an isolated terrestrial ecosystem where ecological factors appear to have a strong influence on population dynamics.

However, the absence of a study on their taxonomy has significantly hampered the debate on assumed evolutionary patterns. This paper addresses the systematics and palaeobiology of the bivalve genus Coelatura Conrad, 1853 in the basin. It reveals that a Coelatura species was assigned to the extinct genus Pseudobovaria Adam, 1957 in earlier studies, while another species formerly assigned to Coelatura is not discussed here because it belongs to the extinct Pseudodiplon Adam, 1957. Six Coelatura species are recognized in the Plio-Pleistocene Omo-Turkana Basin, two of which are new to science: C. rhomboidalis sp. nov. and C. magna sp. nov. These two species are considered lacustrine adapted species, both with a strongly dorsally protruded umbo. This adaptation apparently evolved twice independently in the basin within a similar to 1 Ma period, but it is not observed in any other fossil or extant Coelatura species. Three of the other Coelatura forms can be identified as belonging to the extant C. aegyptiaca, C. bakeri and C. alluaudi. Disentangling the genealogical relationships of these extant species with neontological techniques will provide a test of the palaeontological systematics here proposed. General evaluation of the Turkana Basin coelaturids, and particularly their apparent absence from the first so-called punctuative Suregei Isolate period, corroborates the hypothesis of biological invasions in the basin, but indicates that in situ evolutionary events occurred occasionally.

The genus Myotis comprises a diverse group of small to large-sized vespertilionid bats distributed worldwide. Twelve South American species are recognized currently, 6 of which occur in Ecuador. Morphological relationships among the new species and the other 12 South American species of Myotis were examined using 15 cranial and 5 external characters. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses found the new species to be distinct. As an aid to future identifications, we provide a key to the Ecuadorian species of Myotis.

Larson, Allan TI Comparative phylogeography of four Indo-Pacific moray eel species (Muraenidae) reveals comparable ocean-wide genetic connectivity despite five-fold differences in available adult habitat SO MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES LA English DT Article DE Gene flow; Phylogeography; Connectivity; Reef fish; Leptocephalus; Moray eel ID POPULATION-GROWTH; LARVAL DURATION; SARGASSO SEA; REEF FISH; LEPTOCEPHALI; SIZE; FLOW; FRAGMENTATION; ASSEMBLAGES; STRATEGIES AB Most coral reef fishes have non-migratory adults and depend on a pelagic larval stage for dispersal. Species with long pelagic larval duration (PLD) can have tremendous dispersal potential and thus display little geographic-genetic differentiation among reef habitats. Restricted adult niche breadth due to habitat specialization can have the opposite effect of fragmenting populations and increasing geographic-genetic differentiation. If long PLD suffices to ensure widespread gene flow among reef populations, we predict similar geographic-genetic homogeneity within species whose adults differ in niche breadth. We tested this hypothesis using a comparative phylogeographic study of 4 sympatric moray eel species that differ in the amount of available habitat within their reported ranges. We generated molecular genetic data for Echidna nebulosa (N = 79) and Gymnomuraena zebra (N = 67) to measure geographic-genetic structure within these species, whose adult habitat is very restricted for moray eels, and compared these results to identical measurements previously published for habitat generalists Gymnothorax undulatus and Gymnothorax flavimarginatus. These 4 species share an ocean-wide distribution with adults occupying the same reefs; however, adults of E. nebulosa and G. zebra are restricted to shallow waters and occupy only 20% of the area occupied by the Gymnothorax species. Mitochondrial (632 bp of cytochrome b and 596 bp of cytochrome oxidase I) genomic sequences revealed high genetic variation (h = 0.995 to 0.998) and low geographic-genetic differentiation (pairwise Phi(ST) < 0.07 and not significant) for each species across 22 000 km of the Indo-Pacific. Nuclear genomic sequences (420 bp of RAG-1 and 746 bp of RAG-2) demonstrated 16 to 25 haplotypes per marker within each species with minimal geographic-genetic differentiation among populations. This suggests that in cosmopolitan and highly dispersive species such as morays, larval life history can ensure widespread gene flow despite a 5-fold difference in the habitat breadth occupied by adult populations.

Depending on its elevation within the marsh, S. alterniflora may be submerged for several hours per day. Previous ecosystem-level studies have demonstrated that S. alterniflora marshes are a net sink for nitrogen (N), and that removal of N from flooding tidal water can provide enough N to support the aboveground biomass. However, studies have not specifically investigated whether S. alterniflora plants assimilate nutrients through their aboveground tissue. We determined in situ foliar and stem N uptake kinetics for (NH4)-N-15, (NO3)-N-15, and N-15-glycine by artificially flooding plants in a mid-Atlantic salt marsh. To determine the ecological importance of shoot uptake, a model was created to estimate the time of inundation of S. alterniflora in 20 cm height intervals during the growing season. Estimates of inundation time, shoot mass, N uptake rates, and N availability from long-term data sets were used to model seasonal shoot N uptake. Rates of aboveground N uptake rates (leaves + stems) were ranked as follows: NH4+ > glycine > NO3-. Our model suggests that shoot N uptake may satisfy up to 15% of the growing season N demand in mid-Atlantic salt marshes, with variation depending on plant elevation and water column N availability. However, in eutrophic estuaries, our model indicates the potential of the plant canopy as a nutrient filter, with shoot uptake contributing 66 to 100% of plant N demand. C1 [Mozdzer, T.

In this study, we measured parasitism rates in the eusocial snapping shrimp Synalpheus elizabethae and tested whether parasitism by bopyrid isopods (Bopyrione sp.) affects shrimp activity levels and morphology. Using field surveys, we found that S. elizabethae suffer higher parasitism rates when inhabiting the sponge Lissodendoryx colombiensis than do co-occurring pair-forming congeners (S. yano and S. dardeaui) in the same host. In laboratory behavioral assays, parasitized S. elizabethae showed 50% lower activity levels than unparasitized colony members, suggesting that infection by bopyrids decreases shrimp activity. Finally, parasitism influenced shrimp morphology; parasitized S. elizabethae individuals were larger, but had relatively smaller major chelae (25% reduction) than unparasitized individuals. Parasites comprised similar to 5% of the entire body weight of an individual shrimp. Together these data suggest that parasitism by bopyrid isopods may incur significant energetic costs for commensal sponge-dwelling shrimps such as Synalpheus, and may be especially severe for social species such as S. elizabethae.

The approach is based on measures of intracolonial variation in zooid size that can be used to infer the mean annual range of temperature (MART) experienced by a bryozoan colony as predicted by a model of this relationship that was developed primarily to infer palaeoseasonal regimes. Using the model predictions effectively requires a highly strategic approach to characterise the relative amount of within-colony zooid size variation (by adopting random or very systematic measurements of zooids that meet a stringent set of criteria) to gain insights on temperature variation. The method provides an indication of absolute temperature range but not the actual temperatures experienced. Here we review the development of, support for and applications of the zooid size MART approach. In particular, we consider the general issue of why body size may vary with temperature, studies that validate the zooid size-temperature relationship and insights that have been gained by application of the zooid size MART approach. We emphasise the potential limitations of the approach, including the influence of confounding factors, and highlight its advantages relative to other proxies for palaeotemperature inferences. Of prime importance is that it is relatively inexpensive and quick and allows a direct estimate of temperature variation experienced by an individual colony. Our review demonstrates a strong and growing body of evidence that the application of the zooid size MART approach enables robust interpretations for palaeoclimates and merits broad recognition by environmental and evolutionary biologists and climate modellers.

Relative to information on the amount and direction of these exchanges, much less is known about the distribution and fate of the distinctive dissolved organic compounds derived from marshes, and the spatial extent to which this 'marsh signature' affects optical and biogeochemical variability in the estuary. In the present study we address the spatial distribution of both dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), as well as other biogeochemical components, in the Rhode River estuary-marsh complex of the Chesapeake Bay. High-spatial-resolution transects showed that the marshes are a major source of DOC, DIC and pCO(2) to the adjacent estuary and atmosphere, and that they seem to trap algae and other suspended particulate matter while releasing high-molecular-weight, aromatic-rich, highly colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) into the estuary through tidal flushing. These processes result in strong variability in water characteristics considerably beyond the marsh-estuary interface. Non-conservative mixing in CDOM with salinity was probably due to both intense processing of the more labile marsh-exported components, as well as to mixing with other terrestrial and wetland inputs into the estuary. Despite the possible role of the adjacent subtidal mudflat as a sink for some of the material released from the marshes, the marsh signature was distinguishable from the regional estuarine background over a distance of more than 1 km into the river.

We conducted a series of field and outdoor seawater-table experiments to test the hypothesis that allelopathy (chemical inhibition) mediates interactions between 2 common brown macroalgae, Dictyota pulchella and D. pinnatifida, and the coral Porites astreoides at different life-history stages of the coral. D. pinnatifida significantly reduced larval survival and larval recruitment. The extracts of both D. pinnatifida and D. pulchella significantly reduced larval survival, and the extract of D. pulchella also negatively influenced larval recruitment. There was no measurable effect of the crude extracts from Dictyota spp. on the photophysiology of adult corals. Our results provide evidence that these Dictyota species chemically compete with P. astreoides by negatively affecting larval settlement and recruitment as well as the survival of larvae and new recruits. Macroalgae may perpetuate their dominance on degraded reefs by chemically inhibiting the process of coral recruitment.

Using regression-weighted approximate Bayesian computation, we tested the validity of these two fundamental conditions of founder effect speciation in a pair of sister species with disjunct distributions: the royal spoonbill Platalea regia in Australasia and the black-faced spoonbill Pl. minor in eastern Asia. When compared with genetic polymorphism observed at 20 nuclear loci in the two species, simulations showed that the founder effect speciation model had an extremely low posterior probability (1.55 x 10(-8)) of producing the extant genetic pattern. In contrast, speciation models that allowed for postdivergence gene flow were much more probable (posterior probabilities were 0.37 and 0.50 for the bottleneck with gene flow and the gene flow models, respectively) and postdivergence gene flow persisted for a considerable period of time (more than 80% of the divergence history in both models) following initial divergence (median = 197,000 generations, 95% credible interval [CI]: 50,000-478,000, for the bottleneck with gene flow model; and 186,000 generations, 95% CI: 45,000-477,000, for the gene flow model). Furthermore, the estimated population size reduction in Pl. regia to 7,000 individuals (median, 95% CI: 487-12,000, according to the bottleneck with gene flow model) was unlikely to have been severe enough to be considered a bottleneck. Therefore, these results do not support founder effect speciation in Pl. regia but indicate instead that the divergence between Pl. regia and Pl. minor was probably driven by selection despite continuous gene flow. In this light, we discuss the potential importance of evolutionarily labile traits with significant fitness consequences, such as migratory behavior and habitat preference, in facilitating divergence of the spoonbills.

Perhaps most studied are QS pathways mediated by acylhomoserine lactones (AHLs) in Gram-negative bacteria. Production of small molecule QS signals, their accumulation within a diffusion-limited environment and their binding to a LuxR-type receptor trigger QS-controlled gene regulatory cascades. In Pseudomonas aeruginosa, for example, binding of AHLs to their cognate receptors (LasR, RhlR) controls production of virulence factors, pigments, antibiotics and other behaviors important for its interactions with eukaryotic hosts and other bacteria. We have previously shown that marine cyanobacteria produce QS-inhibitory molecules, including 8-epi-malyngamide C (1), malyngamide C (2) and malyngolide (3). Here we isolated a new small cyclopropane-containing fatty acid, lyngbyoic acid (4), as a major metabolite of the marine cyanobacterium, Lyngbya cf. majuscula, collected at various sites in Florida. We screened 4 against four reporters based on different AHL receptors (LuxR, AhyR, TraR and LasR) and found that 4 most strongly affected LasR. We also show that 4 reduces pyocyanin and elastase (LasB) both on the protein and transcript level in wild-type P. aeruginosa, and that 4 directly inhibits LasB enzymatic activity. Conversely, dodecanoic acid (9) increased pyocyanin and LasB, demonstrating that the fused cyclopropane "tag" is functionally relevant and potentially confers resistance to beta-oxidation. Global transcriptional effects of 4 in some ways replicate the gene expression changes of P. aeruginosa during chronic lung infections of cystic fibrosis patients, with reduced lasR signaling, increased biofilm and expression of the virulence locus HSI-I. Compound 4 may therefore prove to be a useful tool in the study of P. aeruginosa adaption during such chronic infections.

We genotyped 15 microsatellite loci in Scarus rubroviolaceus collected from 20 localities between Africa and the Americas. A STRUCTURE model indicates the presence of four major populations: Eastern Pacific, Hawaii, Central-West Pacific and a less well-differentiated Indian Ocean. We used the isolation and migration model to estimate splitting times, population sizes and migration patterns between sister population pairs. To eliminate loci under selection, we used BayeScan to select loci for three isolation and migration models: Eastern Pacific and Central-West Pacific, Hawaii and the Central-West Pacific, and Indian Ocean and the Central-West Pacific. To test the assumption of a stepwise mutation model (SMM), we used likelihood to test the SMM against a two-phase model that allowed mutational complexity. A posteriori, minor departures from SMM were estimated to affect < 2% of the alleles in the data. The data were informative about the contemporary and ancestral population sizes, migration rates and the splitting time in the eastern Pacific/Central-West Pacific comparison. The model revealed a splitting time similar to 17 000 bp, a larger contemporary N-e in the Central-West Pacific than in the eastern Pacific and a strong bias of east to west migration. These characteristics support the Center of Accumulation model of peripatric diversification in low-diversity peripheral sites and perhaps migration from those sites to the western Pacific diversity hotspot.

We compared reproductive success of group living and solitary adult male coatis to determine the degree to which sociality affects reproductive success. Coati mating is highly seasonal and groups of female coatis come into oestrus during the same 1-2 week period. During the mating season, solitary adult males followed groups and fought with the group living male. This aggression was presumably to gain access to receptive females. We expected that high reproductive synchrony would make it difficult or impossible for the one group living male to monopolize and defend the group of oestrous females. However, we found that group living males sired between 67-91% of the offspring in their groups. This reproductive monopolization is much higher than other species of mammals with comparably short mating seasons. Clearly, living in a group greatly enhanced a male's reproductive success. At the same time, at least 50% of coati litters contained offspring sired by extra-group males (usually only one offspring per litter); thus, resident males could not prevent extra-group matings. The resident male's reproductive advantage may reflect female preference for a resident male strong enough to fend off competing males.

This evolution is in the sense that high-mass black holes cease their luminous accretion at higher redshift than lower mass black holes. Further, turn-off for quasars at any given mass is more highly synchronized than would be expected given the dynamics of their host galaxies. We investigate potential signatures of the quasar turn-off mechanism, including a dearth of high-mass quasars at low Eddington ratio. These new results allow a closer examination of several common assumptions used in modelling quasar accretion and turn-off.

TI A wide-angle outflow with the simultaneous presence of a high-velocity jet in the high-mass Cepheus A HW2 system SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE masers; stars: formation; ISM: individual objects: Cepheus A; ISM: jets and outflows ID STAR-FORMING REGION; THERMAL RADIO JET; SUBMILLIMETER ARRAY OBSERVATIONS; GHZ METHANOL MASERS; MAGNETIC-FIELD; WATER MASERS; YOUNG STARS; H2O MASER; A HW2; CONTINUUM EMISSION AB We present five epochs of VLBI water maser observations around the massive protostar Cepheus A HW2 with 0.4 mas (0.3 au) resolution. The main goal of these observations was to follow the evolution of the remarkable water maser linear/arcuate structures found in earlier VLBI observations. Comparing the data of our new epochs of observation with those observed 5 yr before, we find that at 'large' scales of > rsim1 arcsec (700 au) the main regions of maser emission persist, implying that both the surrounding medium and the exciting sources of the masers have been relatively stable during that time-span. However, at smaller scales of less than or similar to 0.1 arcsec (70 au) we see large changes in the maser structures, particularly in the expanding arcuate structures R4 and R5. R4 traces a nearly elliptical patchy ring of similar to 70 mas size (50 au) with expanding motions of similar to 5 mas yr-1 (15 km s-1), consistent with previous results of Gallimore and collaborators. This structure is probably driven by the wind of a still unidentified YSO located at the centre of the ring (similar to 0.18 arcsec south of HW2). On the other hand, the R5 expanding bubble structure (driven by the wind of a previously identified YSO located similar to 0.6 arcsec south of HW2) is currently dissipating in the circumstellar medium and losing its previous degree of symmetry, indicating a very short lived event. In addition, our results reveal, at scales of similar to 1 arcsec (700 au), the simultaneous presence of a relatively slow (similar to 10-70 km s-1) wide-angle outflow (opening angle of similar to 102 degrees), traced by the masers, and the fast (similar to 500 km s-1) highly collimated radio jet associated with HW2 (opening angle of similar to 18 degrees), previously observed with the VLA. This simultaneous presence of a wide-angle outflow and a highly collimated jet associated with a massive protostar is similar to what is found in some low-mass YSOs. There are indications that the primary wind(s) from HW2 could be rotating. The implications of these results in the study of the formation of high-mass stars are discussed. C1 [Torrelles, J.

We show that the strong changes in the spectral shape, which occurred during this observation, can be interpreted as due to broad-line region clouds crossing the line of sight to the X-ray source. Within the occultation scenario, the spectral and temporal analyses of the eclipses provide precise estimates of the geometrical structure, location and physical properties of the absorbing clouds. In particular, we show that these clouds have cores with column densities of at least a few 1023 cm-2 and velocities in the plane of the sky of the order of thousands of km s-1. The three different eclipses monitored by XMM-Newton suggest a broad range in cloud velocities (by a factor of similar to 4-5). Moreover, two iron absorption lines clearly associated with each eclipse suggest the presence of highly ionized gas around the obscuring clouds and an outflow component of the velocity spanning from 3000 to 15 000 km s-1.

The equations for general relativistic (GR) polarized radiative transfer are derived starting from the Boltzmann equation and basic ideas of general relativity. The derivation is aimed at providing a practical guide to reproducing the synchrotron part of radio and submillimetre emission from low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs), in particular Sgr A*, and jets. A recipe for the fast exact calculation of cyclo-synchrotron emissivities, absorptivities, Faraday rotation and conversion coefficients is given for isotropic particle distributions. The multitude of physical effects influencing simulated spectra is discussed. The application of the prescribed technique is necessary to determine the black hole spin in LLAGNs. The observations of total flux, linear and circular polarization fractions, and electric vector position angle as functions of the observed frequency could substantially constrain the absolute value and orientation of spin.

To date, the only known eclipsing source of this type is the P = 28 min binary SDSS J0926+3624. We present multiband, high time resolution light curves of this system, collected with William Herschel Telescope (WHT)/ULTRACAM in 2006 and 2009. We supplement these data with additional observations made with Liverpool Telescope/Rapid Imager to Search for Exoplanets (LT/RISE), XMM-Newton and the Catalina Real-Time Transient Survey. From light curve models we determine the mass ratio to be q = M(2)/M(1) = 0.041 +/- 0.002 and the inclination to be . We calculate the mass of the primary white dwarf to be 0.85 +/- 0.04 M(circle dot) and the donor to be 0.035 +/- 0.003 M(circle dot), implying a partially degenerate state for this component. We observe superhump variations that are characteristic of an elliptical, precessing accretion disc. Our determination of the superhump period excess is in agreement with the established relationship between this parameter and the mass ratio, and is the most precise calibration of this relationship at low q. We also observe a quasi-periodic oscillation in the 2006 data, and we examine the outbursting behaviour of the system over a 4.5 year period. C1 [Copperwheat, C. M.; Marsh, T. R.; Gaensicke, B.

These observations demonstrated that short GRBs are cosmological in origin, reside in both star forming and elliptical galaxies, are not associated with supernovae, and span a wide isotropic-equivalent energy range of similar to 10(48)- 10(52) erg. However, a fundamental question remains unanswered: What are the progenitors of short GRBs? The most popular theoretical model invokes the coalescence of compact object binaries with neutron star and/or black hole constituents. However, additional possibilities exist, including magnetars formed through prompt channels (massive star core-collapse) and delayed channels (binary white dwarf mergers, white dwarf accretion-induced collapse), or accretion-induced collapse of neutron stars. In this review I summarize our current knowledge of the galactic and sub-galactic environments of short GRBs, and use these observations to draw inferences about the progenitor population. The most crucial results are: (i) some short GRBs explode in dead elliptical galaxies; (ii) the majority of short GRBs occur in star forming galaxies; (iii) the star forming hosts of short GRBs are distinct from those of long GRBs, and instead appear to be drawn from the general field galaxy population; (iv) the physical offsets of short GRBs relative to their host galaxy centers are significantly larger than for long GRBs; (v) there is tentative evidence for large offsets from short GRBs with optical afterglows and no coincident hosts; (vi) the observed offset distribution is in good agreement with predictions for NS-NS binary mergers; and (vii) short GRBs trace under-luminous locations within their hosts, but appear to be more closely correlated with the rest-frame optical light (old stars) than the UV light (young massive stars). Taken together, these observations suggest that short GRB progenitors belong to an old stellar population with a wide age distribution, and generally track stellar mass. These results are fully consistent with NS-NS binary mergers and rule out a dominant population of prompt magnetars. However, a partial contribution from delayed magnetar formation or accretion-induced collapse is also consistent with the data. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Plant N-15 fractionation and foliar N : P stoichiometry of a tank epiphyte (Vriesea sanguinolenta), and its response to combined N-P fertilization, were studied under semi-natural conditions over 334 d to clarify the type of nutrient limitation. Plants collected in the field and experimental plants with limited nutrient supply showed significant plant N-15 fractionation (mean 5%) and plant N : P ratios of c. 13.5. Higher relative growth rates and declines in plant N-15 fractionation (0.5 parts per thousand) and in foliar N : P ratios to 8.5 in the high N-P treatment indicated that these epiphytes were P limited in situ. The critical foliar N : P ratio was 10.4, as derived from the breakpoint in the relationship between plant N-15 fractionation and foliar N : P. We interpret the widespread N-15 depletion of vascular epiphytes relative to their host trees as deriving from N-15 fractionation of epiphytes as a result of P limitation. High foliar N : P ratios (> 12) corroborate widespread P limitation (or co-limitation by N and P) of epiphytic bromeliads and, possibly, other epiphyte species.

However, most models incorporate a single variable or use traits that are not physiologically or functionally linked to climate, limiting their predictive power. Further, they often underestimate paleotemperature relative to other proxies. Here we quantify leaf-climate correlations from 92 globally distributed, climatically diverse sites, and explore potential confounding factors. Multiple linear regression models for mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP) are developed and applied to nine well-studied fossil floras. We find that leaves in cold climates typically have larger, more numerous teeth, and are more highly dissected. Leaf habit (deciduous vs evergreen), local water availability, and phylogenetic history all affect these relationships. Leaves in wet climates are larger and have fewer, smaller teeth. Our multivariate MAT and MAP models offer moderate improvements in precision over univariate approaches (+/- 4.0 vs 4.8 degrees C for MAT) and strong improvements in accuracy. For example, our provisional MAT estimates for most North American fossil floras are considerably warmer and in better agreement with independent paleoclimate evidence. Our study demonstrates that the inclusion of additional leaf traits that are functionally linked to climate improves paleoclimate reconstructions. This work also illustrates the need for better understanding of the impact of phylogeny and leaf habit on leaf-climate relationships.

Here, we examine the role of tree diversity and functional traits in determining carbon storage in a mixed-species plantation and in a natural tropical forest in Panama. We used species richness, functional trait diversity, species dominance and functional trait dominance to predict tree carbon storage across these two forests. Then we compared the species ranking based on wood density, maximum diameter, maximum height, and leaf mass per area (LMA) between sites to reveal how these values changed between different forests. Increased species richness, a higher proportion of nitrogen fixers and species with low LMA increased carbon storage in the mixed-species plantation, while a higher proportion of large trees and species with high LMA increased tree carbon storage in the natural forest. Furthermore, we found that tree species varied greatly in their absolute and relative values between study sites. Different results in different forests mean that we cannot easily predict carbon storage capacity in natural forests using data from experimental plantations. Managers should be cautious when applying functional traits measured in natural populations in the design of carbon-enriched plantations.

Supernova shocks are one of the primary sites destroying, fragmenting and altering interstellar PAHs and dust. Studies of PAHs through supernova shocks had been limited because of confusion with PAHs in background emission. Spitzer observations with high sensitivity and resolution allow us to separate PAHs associated with the SNRs and unrelated, Galactic PAHs. In the young SNR N132D, PAH features are detected with a higher PAH ratio of 15-20/7.7 mu m than those of other astronomical objects, and we suggest large PAHs have survived behind the shock. We present the spectra of additional 14 SNRs observed with Spitzer IRS and MIPS SED covering the range of 5-90 mu m. Bright PAH features from 6.2 to 15-20 mu m are detected from many of SNRs which emit molecular hydrogen lines, indicating that both large and small PAHs survive in low velocity shocks. We observe a strong correlation between PAH detection and carbonaceous small grains, while a few SNRs with dominant silicate dust lack PAR features. We characterize PAHs depending on the shock velocity, preshock density and temperature of hot gas, and discuss PAH and dust processing in shocks and implication of PAR and dust cycles in ISM.

Exploration in this region is problematic owing to structural complexities, rapid lateral facies changes, and the difficulties of acquiring good seismic imaging. These elements increase the uncertainties about the prognosis and subsequent drilling of exploratory wells. Under these conditions, biostratigraphy can play a significant role in the exploratory process. In the Llanos Foothills, palynology is the most useful biostratigraphic tool because pollen is the most abundant fossil group. In this study we analyze pollen information from 70 sections (624,744 palynomorph grains from 6707 samples) to construct a biostratigraphic zonation for the Llanos Foothills and Llanos basins. Using both graphic correlation and constrained optimization in our analysis, we propose 18 palynological zones for the Cenozoic of the Llanos and Llanos Foothills. These zones are tied to the geological timescale using 18 calibration points that include carbon isotopes, foraminifera, and magnetostratigraphy.

TI The evolutionary consequences of oxygenic photosynthesis: a body size perspective SO PHOTOSYNTHESIS RESEARCH LA English DT Review DE Body size; Oxygen; Evolution; Precambrian; Maximum size; Optimum size ID ALLIGATOR ALLIGATOR-MISSISSIPPIENSIS; PERMIAN MASS EXTINCTION; HIGH O-2 CONCENTRATIONS; ATMOSPHERIC OXYGEN; HIGH-ALTITUDE; GAS-EXCHANGE; DEEP-SEA; CHRONIC HYPOXIA; DROSOPHILA-MELANOGASTER; METABOLIC-RATE AB The high concentration of molecular oxygen in Earth's atmosphere is arguably the most conspicuous and geologically important signature of life. Earth's early atmosphere lacked oxygen; accumulation began after the evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis in cyanobacteria around 3.0-2.5 billion years ago (Gya). Concentrations of oxygen have since varied, first reaching near-modern values similar to 600 million years ago (Mya). These fluctuations have been hypothesized to constrain many biological patterns, among them the evolution of body size. Here, we review the state of knowledge relating oxygen availability to body size. Laboratory studies increasingly illuminate the mechanisms by which organisms can adapt physiologically to the variation in oxygen availability, but the extent to which these findings can be extrapolated to evolutionary timescales remains poorly understood. Experiments confirm that animal size is limited by experimental hypoxia, but show that plant vegetative growth is enhanced due to reduced photorespiration at lower O-2:CO2. Field studies of size distributions across extant higher taxa and individual species in the modern provide qualitative support for a correlation between animal and protist size and oxygen availability, but few allow prediction of maximum or mean size from oxygen concentrations in unstudied regions. There is qualitative support for a link between oxygen availability and body size from the fossil record of protists and animals, but there have been few quantitative analyses confirming or refuting this impression. As oxygen transport limits the thickness or volume-to-surface area ratio-rather than mass or volume-predictions of maximum possible size cannot be constructed simply from metabolic rate and oxygen availability. Thus, it remains difficult to confirm that the largest representatives of fossil or living taxa are limited by oxygen transport rather than other factors. Despite the challenges of integrating findings from experiments on model organisms, comparative observations across living species, and fossil specimens spanning millions to billions of years, numerous tractable avenues of research could greatly improve quantitative constraints on the role of oxygen in the macroevolutionary history of organismal size.

TI Rydberg atom mediated polar molecule interactions: a tool for molecular-state conditional quantum gates and individual addressability SO PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID COMMUNICATION; TRANSITIONS AB We study the possibility to use interaction between a polar molecule in the ground electronic and vibrational state and a Rydberg atom to construct two-qubit gates between molecular qubits and to coherently control molecular states. A polar molecule within the electron orbit in a Rydberg atom can either shift the Rydberg state, or form a Rydberg molecule. Both the atomic shift and the Rydberg molecule states depend on the initial internal state of the polar molecule, resulting in molecular state dependent van der Waals or dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg atoms. Rydberg atoms mediated interaction between polar molecules can be enhanced up to 10(3) times. We describe how the coupling between a polar molecule and a Rydberg atom can be applied to coherently control molecular states, and specifically, to individually address molecules in an optical lattice, and to non-destructively readout molecular qubits.

Accurate ab initio calculations are carried out of the Born-Oppenheimer potentials and the non-adiabatic couplings that are due to the finite nuclear masses and drive the near resonance charge exchange. We show that the near resonance charge exchange cross section follows Wigner's threshold law of inelastic processes for energies below 10(-8) eV and that the zero temperature rate constant for it is 4.5 x 10(-10) cm(3) s(-1). At collision energies much larger than the isotope shift of the ionization potentials of the atoms, we show that the near resonance charge exchange process is equivalent to the resonance charge exchange with cross sections having a logarithmic dependence. We also investigate the perturbation to the charge exchange process due to the non-adiabatic interaction to an electronic excited state. We show that the influence is negligible at low temperatures and still small at intermediate energies despite the presence of resonances.

By combining for the first time the techniques of Stark deceleration, magnetic trapping, and cryogenic buffer gas cooling, we present the first experimental observation of cold collisions between two different species of state-selected neutral polar molecules. This has enabled an absolute measurement of the total trap loss cross sections between OH and ND(3) at a mean collision energy of 3.6 cm (1) (5 K). Due to the dipolar interaction, the total cross section increases upon application of an external polarizing electric field. Cross sections computed from ab initio potential energy surfaces are in agreement with the measured value at zero external electric field. The theory presented here represents the first such analysis of collisions between a (2)Pi radical and a closed-shell polyatomic molecule.

Our analysis shows that, at typical experimental parameters, thermodynamics favors the formation of van der Waals complexes composed of a helium atom bound to most open-shell atoms and molecules, and that complex formation occurs quickly enough to ensure chemical equilibrium. For molecular pairs composed of a He atom and an S-state atom, the molecular spin is stable during formation, dissociation, and collisions, and thus these molecules can be magnetically trapped. Collisional spin relaxation is too slow to affect trap lifetimes. However, He-3-containing complexes can change spin due to adiabatic crossings between trapped and untrapped Zeeman states, mediated by the anisotropic hyperfine interaction, causing trap loss. We provide a detailed model for (AgHe)-He-3 molecules, using ab initio calculation of Ag-He interaction potentials and spin interactions, quantum scattering theory, and direct Monte Carlo simulations to describe formation and spin relaxation in this system. The calculated rate of spin-change agrees quantitatively with experimental observations, providing indirect evidence for molecular formation in buffer-gas-cooled magnetic traps. Finally, we discuss the possibilities for spectroscopic detection of these complexes, including a calculation of expected spectra for (AgHe)-He-3, and report on our spectroscopic search for (AgHe)-He-3, which produced a null result.

The changes begin on the cover: the title was broadened to make explicit that the Code applies not only to plants, but also to algae and fungi. The new title will now be the International Code of Nomenclature of algae, fungi, and plants. For the first time in history the Code will allow for the electronic publication of names of new taxa. In an effort to make the publication of new names more accurate and efficient, the requirement for a Latin validating diagnosis or description was changed to allow either English or Latin for these essential components of the publication of a new name. Both of these latter changes will take effect on 1 January 2012. The nomenclatural rules for fungi will see several important changes, the most important of which is probably the adoption of the principle of "one fungus, one name." Paleobotanists will also see changes with the elimination of the concept of "morphotaxa" from the Code. C1 [Miller, James S.] New York Bot Garden, Bronx, NY 10458 USA.

However, additional planetary formation and evolution routes may exist in old evolved binary systems. Here we discuss the implications of binary stellar evolution on planetary systems in such environments. In these binary systems stellar evolution could lead to the formation of symbiotic stars, where mass is lost from one star and could be transferred to its binary companion, and may form an accretion disk around it. This raises the possibility that such a disk could provide the necessary environment for the formation of a new, second generation of planets in both circumstellar or circumbinary configurations. Pre-existing first generation planets surviving the post-MS evolution of such systems would be dynamically effected by the mass loss in the systems and may also interact with the newly formed disk. Such planets and/or planetesimals may also serve as seeds for the formation of the second generation planets, and/or interact with them, possibly forming atypical planetary systems. Second generation planetary systems should be typically found in white dwarf binary systems, and may show various observational signatures. Most notably, second generation planets could form in environment which are inaccessible, or less favorable, for first generation planets. The orbital phase space available for the second generation planets could be forbidden (in terms of the system stability) to first generation planets in the pre-evolved progenitor binaries. In addition planets could form in metal poor environments such as globular clusters and/or in double compact object binaries. Observations of exo-planets in such forbidden or unfavorable regions could possibly serve to uniquely identify their second generation character. Finally, we point out a few observed candidate second generation planetary systems, including G1 86, HD 27442 and all of the currently observed circumbinary planet candidates. A second generation origin for these systems could naturally explain their unique configurations. C1 Harvard Smithsonian Ctr Astrophys, Cambridge, MA 02446 USA.

Many ginseng species are endangered due to over-exploitation of natural resources - a situation difficult to remedy while there are no reliable, practical methods for species identification. We screened eleven candidate DNA barcoding loci to establish an accurate and effective Panax species identification system, both for commercial and conservation purposes. We used 95 ginseng samples, representing all the species in the genus. We found considerable differences in the performance of the potential barcoding regions. The sequencing of atpF-atpH was unsuccessful due to poly-N structures. The rbcL, rpoB, and rpoC1 regions were found to be mostly invariable, with only four to eight variable sites. Using matK, psbK-I, psbM-trnD, rps16 and nad1, we could identify four to six out of eight considerably divergent species but only one to five out of nineteen clusters within the P. bipinnatifidus species group. psbA-trnH and ITS were the most variable loci, working very well both in species and cluster identifications. We demonstrated that the combination of psbA-trnH and ITS is sufficient for identifying all the species and clusters in the genus.

This represents the first constraint on (kappa) over tilde (tr) reported by a Michelson-Morley experiment and the first analysis of a single experiment to simultaneously set limits on all nine nonbirefringent terms in the photon sector of the SME.

The frequency dependence of the synthesized beam implies that the sidelobes of these sources will move across the field of view as a function of observing frequency, hence frustrating line-of-sight foreground subtraction techniques. We describe a method for subtracting these point sources from dirty maps produced by an instrument such as the MWA. This technique combines matched filters with an iterative centroiding scheme to locate and characterize point sources in the presence of a diffuse background. Simulations show that this technique can improve the dynamic range of epoch-of-reionization maps by 2-3 orders of magnitude. C1 [Pindor, B.; Wyithe, J. S.

Unlike biologists who are able to utilize an animal's behavior, soft tissue anatomy, and molecular make-up to study species, paleontologists must concentrate on phenotypical approaches that rely on morphological differences between fossil populations. Morphometric methods which quantify form and shape are extremely powerful tools for assessing questions related to taxonomy, morphospace occupation, morphological disparity or taxon-free estimates of diversity, competition between taxa, ecological character displacement, predatory defense, changes in predatory behavior, anatomical responses to environmental change, and much more. The developing field of morphometrics attempts to mathematically describe shape variations between individuals and can be used to statistically evaluate correct species assignment, isolate shape changes, or identify regions within a phenotype where shape changes are most variable or pronounced. Traditional morphometric approaches focus on the evaluation of several distance measurements taken within a series of specimens, while geometric morphometrics replaces distance-based measurements by evaluating the displacement of corresponding anatomically important locations on specimens which are termed landmarks. Both traditional and geometric morphometric methods allow for the comparison of large samples through a variety of multivariate statistical techniques, many of which will be explored in this chapter. Considering the relative difficulty of characterizing the taxonomic affinities of Precambrian life, paleontologists have adopted morphometric techniques to help elucidate the true diversity of early life.

In the ecospace used here, marine animals are classified according to three parameters that can be determined relatively easily from fossils: tiering (position relative to the sediment-water interface), motility level, and feeding mechanism. Analyses of faunas from the Ediacaran, Cambrian, and Recent suggest that the ecological richness (number of ecological lifestyles) of the marine fauna rose through time, although the pace of increase slowed after the early Phanerozoic. However, the Ediacaran biota was quite distinct from Phanerozoic faunas in terms of which tiers, motility levels, and feeding mechanisms were employed; thus, the rise to dominance of bilaterians during the Cambrian Explosion caused a fundamental transformation in marine ecology. Changes in marine animal ecology since the Cambrian Explosion were of lesser magnitude. C1 [Bush, Andrew M.] Univ Connecticut, Dept Ecol & Evolutionary Biol, Storrs, CT 06269 USA.

A list with 538 species of butterflies recorded in the Baixada Santista, Sao Paulo (SE Brazil) is presented. Standard sampling protocols (i.e. with entomological nets) were followed. Baited traps were installed for fruit feeding species. Data from the literature and entomological collections were also considered in the total estimated species richness. The species richness recorded in the Baixada Santista region represents about 16% of the Brazilian butterfly fauna, and 34% of the known butterfly fauna for the state of Sao Paulo. The present list contains an appreciably higher number of species in comparison to other lists from similar biomes farther south, such as Blumenau in Santa Catarina, and Maquine in Rio Grande do Sul.

Many of these observations are made from the Antarctic, where conditions are particularly favorable. When we use telescopes to look out at the distant universe, we are also looking back in time because the speed of light is finite. Looking out 13.7 billion years, the cosmic microwave background (CMB) comes from a time shortly after the big bang. The first attempt at CMB observations from the Antarctic plateau was an expedition to the South Pole in December 1986 by the Radio Physics Research group at Bell Laboratories. The measured sky noise and opacity were highly encouraging. In the austral summer of 1988-1989, three CMB groups participated in the "Cucumber" campaign, where a temporary summer-only site dedicated to CMB anisotropy measurements was set up 2 km from South Pole Station. Winter observations became possible with the establishment in 1990 of the Center for Astrophysical Research in Antarctica (CARA), a U.S. National Science Foundation Science and Technology Center, which developed year-round observing facilities in the "Dark Sector," a section of Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station dedicated to astronomical observations. Scientists at CARA fielded several astronomical instruments: Antarctic Sub-millimeter Telescope and Remote Observatory (AST/RO), South Pole Infrared Explorer (SPIREX), White Dish, Python, Viper, Arcminute Cosmology Bolometer Array Receiver (ACBAR), and Degree-Angular Scale Interferometer (DASI). By 2001, data from CARA, together with Balloon Observations of Millimetric Extragalactic Radiation and Geophysics (BOOMERANG), a CMB experiment on a long-duration balloon launched from Mc-Murdo Station on the coast of Antarctica, showed clear evidence that the overall geometry of the universe is flat, as opposed to being open or closed. This indicates that the total energy content of the universe is near zero, so that the energy needed to originate the material of the universe is balanced by negative gravitational energy. In 2002, the DASI group reported the detection of polarization in the CMB. These observations strongly support a "concordance model" of cosmology, where the dynamics of a flat universe are dominated by forces exerted by the mysterious dark energy and dark matter. The CMB observations continue on the Antarctic plateau. The South Pole Telescope (SPT) is a 10-m-diameter offset telescope that is beginning to measure anisotropies on scales much smaller than 1 degrees, as well as discovering new protogalaxies and clusters of galaxies. Plans are in progress to measure CMB polarization in detail, observations that will yield insights to phenomena in the first second of time.

TI An Investigation of the Reciprocity Principle of Light Exposures Using Microfading Spectrometry SO SPECTROSCOPY LETTERS LA English DT Article DE microfading tester; photofading; reciprocity principle; visible reflectance spectroscopy ID NATURAL DYES; LAW; FASTNESS; MUSEUMS AB It is frequently assumed that sensitive museum materials follow the reciprocity principle of light exposures. Thus, equivalent exposure doses obtained by using either high-illuminance levels for short periods of time or lower illumination for longer exhibition periods are believed to cause similar degrees of damage to an object. Microfading spectrometry permitted the investigation of this phenomenon by evaluation of light-induced changes in a series of samples. The effects of equivalent exposure doses on materials such as Blue Wool 1, LightCheck Ultra, and various dyed silks from a reference collection were compared. The results indicate that reciprocity is obeyed by the most stable colorants, while materials with lower stability to light may experience deviations that are proportional to the intensity of illumination. This study confirms that reciprocity failure is associated with the use of high-intensity lamps during accelerated-aging trials. Therefore only those tests conducted at low-illumination intensity ranges where reciprocity holds should be employed when one estimates the extent of damage occurring in a museum environment.

TI The Use of Micro-Fading Spectrometry to Evaluate the Light Fastness of Materials in Oxygen-Free Environments SO SPECTROSCOPY LETTERS LA English DT Article DE anoxic treatment; microfading spectrometry; museum objects; visible reflectance spectroscopy ID PRUSSIAN-BLUE; CURCUMIN; OBJECTS AB The use of inert gases for displaying sensitive objects and for the treatment of artifacts infected with bio-deteriorating agents is a current practice in many cultural institutions around the world. However, some artifacts may also experience color changes as a result of exposure to light in these reducing environments. Therefore, it becomes essential to evaluate the light stability of an object under anoxic conditions prior to its exhibition. This study dealt with the development of a procedure based on micro-fading spectroscopy to determine the light fastness of materials when exposed to an argon atmosphere. The efficacy of this method has been tested using turmeric/silk and Prussian blue/silk systems. Evaluation of color changes in real time have demonstrated that the approach provides an efficient way of detecting any potential variation occurring as a result of long-term anoxic display in a museum environment.

Teresa Domenech-Carbo, Maria TI Determination of the Annual Light Exposure Received by Two-Dimensional Museum Objects Displayed on Vertical Surfaces using Photometric Measurements SO STUDIES IN CONSERVATION LA English DT Article ID TEMPERA AB Accurate estimates of cumulative light exposure are an important prerequisite for the assessment and limitation of photochemical damage to museum objects on display The task is complicated because spotlights used to highlight particular features illuminate objects' surfaces unevenly, and also because indirect light sources, for example diffuse sunlight within exhibition spaces, result in changing total illumination levels throughout the day and seasonally This paper presents a methodology for determining the annual light exposure of 2-D objects by combining the results of continuous light readings adjacent to the object and one-off point measurements over its illuminated surface, a method that allows a more accurate estimate of total exposure than either monitoring method alone. Two pieces of information are required to calculate cumulative exposure:first, the ratio of direct to indirect lighting, which is arrived at by quantifying the amount of visible light falling on the object relative to that received by its surroundings; and, second, the diurnal and seasonal variation in illuminance of indirect light sources, particularly diffuse daylight. Two paintings in different galleries exposed to different ratios of diffuse sunlight to direct artificial light - one low and the other high - were used to refine and test the method.

We review methods of estimating SGD, present flux estimates from different locations worldwide, and discuss how various hydrogeologic features such as topography, aquifer substrate, climate, waves, and tides affect SGD. We discuss the range of nutrient and metal concentrations observed in groundwater and their relationship to land use, and explore the chemical changes that nutrients and metals undergo during their seaward journey through the aquifer. Climate change is likely to affect both the quantity and the quality of SGD, and we investigate these effects, which are only beginning to be studied. The chapter concludes with a discussion of active areas of SGD research, including expanding the geographic scope of SGD studies; characterizing and reducing the uncertainty associated with SGD measurements; understanding the behavior of nutrients, metals, and other pollutants in the subterranean estuary; and modeling SGD on a global scale.

Given that further studies on this topic are likely (there are probably millions of species showing rapid genital divergence), I discuss the studies critically to promote clear formulation of hypotheses and interpretation of results in the future. I also emphasize some possibly important but neglected variables, including female stimulation, phylogenetic contexts, and the behavior of male genitalia, and outline simple techniques that could improve future studies.

SO UP2010: HAVE OBSERVATIONS REVEALED A VARIABLE UPPER END OF THE INITIAL MASS FUNCTION SE Astronomical Society of the Pacific Conference Series LA English DT Proceedings Paper CT Conference on UP2010: Have Observations Revealed a Variable Upper End of the Initial Mass Function CY JUN 20-25, 2010 CL Sedona, AZ ID STAR-FORMING GALAXIES; MOLECULAR GAS; MASS FUNCTION; LAMBDA-CDM; MERGERS; SIMULATIONS; EVOLUTION; UNIVERSE; MATTER; MODEL AB Theoretical models have had difficulty matching the observed number density of sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs), causing some authors (e.g., Baugh et al. 2005) to suggest that SMGs provide evidence for a top-heavy initial mass function (IMF). To test this claim, we have, for the first time, combined high-resolution 3-D hydrodynamic simulations of isolated and merging massive, gas-rich galaxies, radiative transfer, and a semi-empirical merger rate model to predict the number density of SMGs. Our model can reproduce the observed SMG number density even when using a standard (Kroupa) IMF. The agreement is due to a combination of relatively long sub-mm duty cycles for mergers (a few times 10(8) years for our most massive models), which owe to our combination of high-resolution 3-D hydrodynamic simulations and dust radiative transfer; sufficient number densities of massive, gas-rich mergers; and the decrease in sub-mm counts observed by recent deep/wide surveys (e.g., Austermann et al. 2010) relative to previous surveys. Our results suggest that the observed SMG number counts do not provide evidence for a top-heavy IMF at high redshift.

These wavelengths are ideal for studying circumstellar dust, and the full spatial coverage of the SMC (including the bar, wing, and tail) allows for a statistically complete study of its entire dust-producing Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) star population. Here, we discuss the infrared colors and spectral energy distributions of the SMC AGB stars, particularly with respect to dust production and mass loss. We also compare the SMC AGB population to those in the higher-metallicity LMC. C1 [Boyer, M. L.; Gordon, K.

Marstonia comalensis is a large congener having an ovate-conic, openly umbilicate shell and penis having a short filament and oblique, squarish lobe bearing a narrow gland along its distal edge. It is well differentiated morphologically from congeners having similar shells and penes and is also genetically divergent relative to those congeners that have been sequenced (mtCOI divergence 3.0-8.5%). A Bayesian analysis of a small COI dataset resolved M. comalensis in a poorly supported sub-clade together with M hershleri, M lustrica and M pachyta. The predominantly new records presented herein indicate that M comalensis was historically distributed in the upper portions of the Brazos, Colorado, Guadalupe and Nueces River basins, south-central Texas. The species has been live collected at only 12 localities and only two of these have been re-visited since 1993. These data suggest that the conservation status of this snail, which has a critically imperiled (G1) NatureServe ranking and was recently proposed for federal listing, needs to be re-assessed.

TI Seven new species within western Atlantic Starksia atlantica, S. lepicoelia, and S. sluiteri (Teleostei, Labrisomidae), with comments on congruence of DNA barcodes and species SO ZOOKEYS LA English DT Article DE Starksia; DNA Barcoding; new species; species complex; biogeography ID PELAGIC LARVAL DURATION; GOBIIDAE; CONNECTIVITY; DIVERSITY; REVEALS; FISHES AB Specimens of Starksia were collected throughout the western Atlantic, and a 650-bp portion of the mitochondrial gene cytochrome oxidase-c subunit I (COI) was sequenced as part of a re-analysis of species diversity of western Central Atlantic shorefishes. A neighbor-joining tree constructed from the sequence data suggests the existence of several cryptic species. Voucher specimens from each genetically distinct lineage and color photographs of vouchers taken prior to dissection and preservation were examined for diagnostic morphological characters. The results suggest that S. atlantica, S. lepicoelia, and S. sluiteri are species complexes, and each comprises three or more species. Seven new species are described. DNA data usually support morphological features, but some incongruence between genetic and morphological data exists. Genetic lineages are only recognized as species if supported by morphology. Genetic lineages within western Atlantic Starksia generally correspond to geography, such that members of each species complex have a very restricted geographical distribution. Increasing geographical coverage of sampling locations will almost certainly increase the number of Starksia species and species complexes recognized in the western Atlantic. Combining molecular and morphological investigations is bringing clarity to the taxonomy of many genera of morphologically similar fishes and increasing the number of currently recognized species. Future phylogenetic studies should help resolve species relationships and shed light on patterns of speciation in western Atlantic Starksia.

Phyllocnistis hyperpersea, new species, mines the upper leaf surfaces of avocado, Persea americana Mill., and red bay, Persea borbonia (L.) Spreng. and ranges over much of the southeastern United States into Central America. Phyllocnistis subpersea, new species, mines the underside and occasionally upper sides of new leaves of Persea borbonia in southeastern United States. Phyllocnistis longipalpa, new species, known only from southern Florida also mines the undersides of new leaves of Persea borbonia. Phyllocnistis perseafolia, new species, mines both leaf surfaces and possibly fruits of Persea americana in Colombia, South America. As in all known species of Phyllocnistis, the early instars are subepidermal sapfeeders in young (not fully hardened) foliage, and the final instar is an extremely specialized, nonfeeding larval form, whose primary function is to spin the silken cocoon, at the mine terminus, prior to pupation. Early stages are illustrated and described for three of the species. The unusual morphology of the pupae, particularly the frontal process of the head, is shown to be one of the most useful morphological sources of diagnostic characters for species identification of Phyllocnistis.

Catapano, Terry Agosti, Donat TI XML schemas and mark-up practices of taxonomic literature SO ZOOKEYS LA English DT Review DE mark-up; XML schema; taxonomy; TaxonX; TaxPub; taXMLit ID WORKING EXAMPLES; GENUS; DIPTERA; ZOOKEYS AB We review the three most widely used XML schemas used to mark-up taxonomic texts, TaxonX, TaxPub and taXMLit. These are described from the viewpoint of their development history, current status, implementation, and use cases. The concept of "taxon treatment" from the viewpoint of taxonomy mark-up into XML is discussed. TaxonX and taXM Lit are primarily designed for legacy literature, the former being more lightweight and with a focus on recovery of taxon treatments, the latter providing a much more detailed set of tags to facilitate data extraction and analysis. TaxPub is an extension of the National Library of Medicine Document Type Definition (NLM DTD) for taxonomy focussed on layout and recovery and, as such, is best suited for mark-up of new publications and their archiving in PubMedCentral. All three schemas have their advantages and shortcomings and can be used for different purposes. C1 [Penev, Lyubomir] Bulgarian Acad Sci, Sofia, Bulgaria.

The specimen was collected from late Middle Jurassic nonmarine strata of the Jiulongshan Formation in Inner Mongolia, northeastern China. The new material provides additional evidence for an early diversification of pseudopolycentropodids that was ongoing during the Middle Jurassic. This diversity also adds to the variety of known pseudopolycentropodids with tubular proboscides that apparently fed on ovulate fluids produced by Mesozoic gymnosperms.

Seasonal collections during a one year period yielded 77 morphospecies, of which 60% are projected to be undescribed species. There was a significant negative correlation between species richness and altitude, with the number of carabid species declining at the rate of one species for each 100 m increase in altitude. The majority of species (70.1 %) were restricted to only one altitudinal site and no species was found at more than three of the five altitudinal sites. Only one genus, Pelmatellus (Tribe Harpalini), was found at all five sites. Active (hand) collections yielded approximately twice as many species per individuals collected than passive (pitfall trap) collections. This study is the first systematic sampling of carabid beetles of a high altitude gradient in the cloud forests of southeastern Peru and supports the need to conserve the zone of extremely high biodiversity present on the eastern slopes of the Peruvian Andes.

Five Asian, two Australian, four African, and one American species were included in the phylogenetic analyses. Other species in Nephilidae, Araneidae, and Tetragnathidae were included to assess their relationships with the genus Nephila, and one species from Uloboridae was used as the outgroup. Phylogenetic trees were reconstructed from one nuclear (18S) and two mitochondrial (COI and 16S) markers. Our molecular phylogeny shows that the widely distributed Asian/Australian species, N. pilipes, and an African species, N. constricta, form a clade that is sister to all other Nephila species. Nested in this Nephila clade are one clade with tropical and subtropical/temperate Asian/Australian species, and the other containing African and American species. The estimated divergence times suggest that diversification events within Nephila occurred during mid-Miocene to Pliocene (16 Mya-2 Mya), and these time periods were characterized by cyclic global warming/cooling events. According to Dispersal and Vicariance Analysis (DIVA), the ancestral range of the Asian/Australian clade was tropical Asia, and the ancestral range of the genus Nephila was either tropical Asia or Africa. We conclude that the speciation of the Asian/Australian Nephila species was driven by Neogene global cyclic climate changes. However, further population level studies comparing diversification patterns of sister species are needed to determine the mode of speciation of these species.

Based on the new light curves, the refined transit ephemeris of XO-4b is P = 4.1250828 +/- 0.0000040d and T-c [BJD(TDB)] = 2454485.93323 +/- 0.00039. We measured the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect of XO-4b and estimated the sky-projected angle between the stellar spin axis and the planetary orbital axis to be lambda = -46.degrees 7 (+8.degrees 1)(-6.degrees 1). This measurement of lambda is less robust than in some other cases because the impact parameter of the transit is small, causing a strong degeneracy between lambda and the projected stellar rotational velocity. Nevertheless, our finding of a spin orbit misalignment suggests that the migration process for XO-4b involved few-body dynamics rather than interaction with a gaseous disk. In addition, our result conforms with the pattern reported by Winn et al. (2010, ApJ, 718, L145) that high obliquities are preferentially found for stars with effective temperatures hotter than 6250 K.

TI Predation as the primary selective force in recurrent evolution of gigantism in Poecilozonites land snails in Quaternary Bermuda SO BIOLOGY LETTERS LA English DT Article DE anagenesis; biogeography; extinction; Hesperotestudo; island area; sea-level cycles ID PLEISTOCENE; RALLIDAE; AVES AB During the last half million years, pulses of gigantism in the anagenetic lineage of land snails of the subgenus Poecilozonites on Bermuda were correlated with glacial periods when lower sea level resulted in an island nearly an order of magnitude larger than at present. During those periods, the island was colonized by large vertebrate predators that created selection pressure for large size and rapid growth in the snails. Extreme reduction in land area from rising seas, along with changes in ecological conditions at the onset of interglacial episodes, marked extinction events for large predators, after which snails reverted to much smaller size. The giant snails were identical in morphology during the last two glacials when the predators included a large flightless rail Rallus recessus (marine isotope stages (MIS) 4-2) and a crane Grus latipes and a duck Anas pachysceles (MIS 6). In a preceding glacial period (MIS 10), when the fauna also included the tortoise Hesperotestudo bermudae, the snails were not only large, but the shells were much thicker, presumably to prevent crushing by tortoises. Evolution of Poecilozonites provides an outstanding example of dramatic morphological change in response to environmental pressures in the absence of cladogenesis.

The scheme includes discs with angular momenta which are parallel and antiparallel with respect to the black hole's angular momentum, as both configurations are assumed to be stable. We discuss line shapes for such discs and present a code for modelling observational data with this scheme in X-ray data analysis programs. Based on a Green's function approach, an arbitrary radius dependence of the disc emissivity and arbitrary limb-darkening laws can be easily taken into account, while the amount of pre-computed data is significantly reduced with respect to other available models.

TI A multiwavelength view of the protostellar binary IRAS 04325+2402: a case for turbulent fragmentation SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE circumstellar matter; stars: formation; stars: low-mass; stars: pre-main-sequence; stars: protostars ID YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS; T-TAURI STARS; SPECTRAL ENERGY-DISTRIBUTIONS; AURIGA MOLECULAR CLOUD; HERBIG-HARO OBJECTS; LOW-MASS STARS; 2-DIMENSIONAL RADIATIVE-TRANSFER; SPITZER-IRS SPECTRA; EDGE-ON DISK; INTERSTELLAR DUST AB IRAS 04325+2402 (hereinafter IRAS 04325) is a complex protostellar system hosting two young stellar objects (AB and C) at a separation of 1250 au. Here, we present a new deep Gemini imaging and spectroscopy for the system covering the wavelength regime from 1 to 12 mu m as well as Submillimeter Array interferometry at 870 mu m, in combination with Spitzer and literature data. Based on this rich data set, we provide a comprehensive picture of IRAS 04325 over scales from a few au to several parsec. Object AB is a low-mass star with a disc/envelope system and an outflow cavity, which is prominently seen in infrared images. Object C, previously suspected to be a brown dwarf, is likely a very low mass star, with an effective temperature of similar to 3400 K. It features an edge-on disc and an elongated envelope, and shows strong indications for accretion and ejection activities. Both objects are likely to drive parsec-scale molecular outflows. The two objects are embedded in an isolated, dense molecular cloud core. High extinction, lack of X-ray emission, and relatively high bolometric luminosity argue for a very young age below 1 Myr. The disc/outflow systems of objects AB and C are misaligned by similar to 60 degrees against each other and by 80 degrees and 40 degrees against the orbital plane of the binary. The system might be a good case for primordial misalignment, as opposed to misalignment caused by dynamical interactions, because the outflow direction is constant and the realignment time-scale is likely larger than the system age. This favours turbulent fragmentation, rather than rotational fragmentation, as the formation scenario. We show that the spectral energy distributions and images for the two objects can be reproduced with radiative transfer models for disc/envelope systems. Our analysis provides reassurance in the established paradigm for the structure and early evolution of young stellar objects, but stresses the importance of developing three-dimensional models with sophisticated dust chemistry.

TI The first VLBI image of the young, oxygen-rich supernova remnant in NGC 4449 SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE supernovae: general; ISM: supernova remnants ID NOVA REMNANT; SN 1987A; STARBURST GALAXY; VLA OBSERVATIONS; RADIO-EMISSION; X-RAY; NGC-4449; RESOLUTION; EVOLUTION; SHELL AB We report on sensitive 1.4-GHz VLBI radio observations of the unusually luminous supernova remnant SNR 4449-1 in the galaxy NGC 4449, which gave us the first well-resolved image of this object. The remnant's radio morphology consists of two approximately parallel bright ridges, suggesting similarities to the barrel shape seen for many older Galactic supernova remnants or possibly to SN 1987A. The angular extent of the remnant is 65 x 40 mas, corresponding to (3.7 x 2.3) x 1018 (D/3.8 Mpc) cm. We also present a new, high signal-to-noise ratio optical spectrum. By comparing the remnant's linear size to the maximum velocities measured from optical lines, as well as using constraints from historical images, we conclude that the supernova explosion occurred between similar to 1905 and 1961, likely around 1940. The age of the remnant is therefore likely similar to 70 yr. We find that SNR 4449-1's shock wave is likely still interacting with the circumstellar rather than interstellar medium.

TI Realistic simulations of the Galactic polarized foreground: consequences for 21-cm reionization detection experiments SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE polarization; radiation mechanisms: non-thermal; instrumentation: interferometers; cosmology: observations; radio continuum: general ID PROBE WMAP OBSERVATIONS; INTERGALACTIC MEDIUM; SYNCHROTRON EMISSION; RADIO-EMISSION; SPECTRAL INDEX; IONIZED-GAS; GAMMA-RAYS; MILKY-WAY; 150 MHZ; EPOCH AB Experiments designed to measure the redshifted 21-cm line from the epoch of reionization (EoR) are challenged by strong astrophysical foreground contamination, ionospheric distortions, complex instrumental response and other different types of noise (e.g. radio frequency interference). The astrophysical foregrounds are dominated by diffuse synchrotron emission from our Galaxy. Here we present a simulation of the Galactic emission used as a foreground module for the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR)-EoR key science project end-to-end simulations. The simulation produces total and polarized intensity over 10 degrees x 10 degrees maps of the Galactic synchrotron and free-free emission, including all observed characteristics of the emission: spatial fluctuations of amplitude and spectral index of the synchrotron emission, together with Faraday rotation effects. The importance of these simulations arises from the fact that the Galactic polarized emission could behave in a manner similar to the EoR signal along the frequency direction. As a consequence, an improper instrumental calibration will give rise to leakages of the polarized to the total signal and mask the desired EoR signal. In this paper, we address this for the first time through realistic simulations. C1 [Jelic, Vibor; Zaroubi, Saleem; Labropoulos, Panagiotis; de Bruyn, A. G.; Koopmans, Leon V.

We report the first extragalactic detection of (sub)millimeter rotational lines of vibrationally excited HCN, in the dust-enshrouded nucleus of the luminous infrared galaxy NGC 4418. We estimate the excitation temperature of T-vib approximate to 230 K between the vibrational ground and excited (v(2) = 1) states. This excitation is most likely due to infrared radiation. At this high vibrational temperature the path through the v(2) = 1 state must have a strong impact on the rotational excitation in the vibrational ground level, although it may not be dominant for all rotational levels. Our observations also revealed nearly confusion-limited lines of CO, HCN, HCO+, (HCN)-C-13, (HCN)-N-15, CS, N2H+, and HC3N at lambda similar to 1 mm. Their relative intensities may also be affected by the infrared pumping. C1 [Sakamoto, Kazushi] Acad Sinica, Inst Astron & Astrophys, Taipei 115, Taiwan.

Here we test a new radiative transfer spectral modeling algorithm to determine composition from hyperspectral reflectance spectra of lunar soils. Data for 19 lunar mare and highland soil samples previously characterized by the Lunar Soil Characterization Consortium are used for validation. Spectral fits are made using a goodness of fit metric considering spectral shape, spectral contrast, spectral slope, and iron abundance. High precision fits are achieved for nearly every soil with this algorithm. Using a plot of spectral shape relative to the ratio Mg' (i.e., molar (Mg/(Mg + Fe)) x 100) determines the winning model and composition. Mg' is determined with an average difference of similar to 11-15 and similar to 3-8 units before and after a correction is applied, respectively. Mineralogy is determined with an average difference of similar to 5-15 vol% depending upon the mineral constituent. C1 [Cahill, J. T. S.; Lucey, P. G.; Stockstill-Cahill, K. R.; Hawke, B.

Rasbora api is distinguished from its congeners in the R. trifasciata-group by an anteriorly tapering black midlateral stripe extending posteriorly along the flank from the first lateral-line scale system and terminating at a slightly wider black basicaudal spot on the caudal-fin base, and stout conical cephalic tubercles with basal portion bearing microgranules (Type A tubercles). Rasbora nodulosa is distinguished from its congeners in the species group by having nodular and smaller cephalic tubercles (Type D tubercles). Rasbora kluetensis is distinguished from its congeners in the species group by the conical cephalic tubercles with a somewhat protruded base bearing microridges (Type E tubercles). Rasbora truncata differs from its congeners in the species group by a combination of meristic, pigmentary, and tuberculation features, and details of the lateral line system. Other members of the R. trifasciata-group in the region, Rasbora meinkeni and R. tobana, are redescribed. Rasbora tobana is resurrected. Three new areas of endemism in northwestern Sumatra are proposed based on the distributions of three new endemic species: the Tripa District represented by R. nodulosa, the Kluet District represented by R. kluetensis, and the Alas District represented by R. truncata.

TI Mg/Ca ratios in coralline algae record northwest Atlantic temperature variations and North Atlantic Oscillation relationships SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-OCEANS LA English DT Article ID SEA-SURFACE TEMPERATURE; BELLE-ISLE; RED ALGAE; VARIABILITY; CIRCULATION; RESOLUTION; STRAIT; GROWTH; SHELF; HYDROGRAPHY AB [1] Climate variability in the North Atlantic has been linked in part to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The NAO influences marine ecosystems in the northwestern Atlantic and transport variability of the cold Labrador Current. Understanding historic patterns of NAO variability requires long-term and high-resolution climate records that are not available from instrumental data. Here we present the first century-scale proxy record of sea surface temperature (SST) variability from the Newfoundland shelf, a region from which other annual-resolution shallow marine proxies are unavailable. The 116 year record was obtained from three sites along the eastern Newfoundland shelf using laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometry-determined Mg/Ca ratios in the crustose coralline alga Clathromorphum compactum. The alga is characterized by a high Mg-calcite skeleton exhibiting annual growth increments and a century-scale lifespan. Results indicate positive correlations between interannual variations in Mg/Ca ratios and both station-based and gridded instrumental SST. In addition, the record shows high spatial correlations to SST across the Newfoundland shelf and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Before 1950 the Mg/Ca proxy record reveals significant departures from gridded temperature records. While the Newfoundland shelf is generally considered a region of negative correlations to the NAO, the algal time series as well as a recent modeling study suggest a variable negative relationship with the NAO which is strongest after similar to 1960 and before the mid-1930s.

TI Stable isotopes evaluate exploitation of anthropogenic foods by the endangered San Joaquin kit fox (Vulpes macrotis mutica) SO JOURNAL OF MAMMALOGY LA English DT Article DE anthropogenic subsidies; diet; stable isotopes; urban ecology; Vulpes macrotis ID WATER AVAILABILITY; NATURAL-ABUNDANCE; BONE-COLLAGEN; BREATH TESTS; CARBON; URBAN; DIET; NITROGEN; ECOLOGY; PATTERNS AB The unprecedented rate of urbanization over the past several decades is a major concern for conservation globally and has given rise to the multidisciplinary field of urban ecology. This field explores the direct and indirect effects of human activities on food-web dynamics, community structure, and animal behavior in highly modified urban ecosystems. Urban ecosystems are typically characterized by reduced species diversity but increased abundance of a few species able to exploit anthropogenic food sources. For many urban mammalian and avian species direct resource subsidization is difficult to assess using traditional means such as scat analysis. Here we show how stable isotope analysis can be used to assess the exploitation of anthropogenic foods in an endangered carnivore, the San Joaquin kit fox (Vuipes macrotis mutica) inhabiting the southern San Joaquin Valley in California. Examination of carbon (delta C-13) and nitrogen (delta N-15) isotope data shows that kit foxes living in urban Bakersfield, California, extensively exploit anthropogenic foods, which sharply contrasts with dietary data derived from scat analysis. Urban kit foxes had significantly higher delta C-13 and lower delta N-15 values than foxes from adjacent nonurban areas and had similar isotope values as Bakersfield human residents, which suggests a shared food source. In contrast, examination of isotopic data for nonurban kit foxes shows that they largely consume the most abundant natural prey species found in their scats. Stable isotope analysis offers a rapid and cost-effective means of evaluating the degree to which urban wildlife populations exploit anthropogenic foods in areas where native C-4 vegetation is relatively uncommon or absent, important in assessing the direct impacts of human activities on food-web dynamics in urban ecosystems. We anticipate that the isotopic gradients used here will be useful in assessing the exploitation of anthropogenic foods in other urban wildlife populations. DOI: 10.1644/09-MAMM-A-362.1.

Initial validation experiments demonstrated comparable excretory patterns in urine versus feces for both androgen and GC measures. Matched urinary and fecal androgen and GC were correlated strongly with each other in a single male that was assessed over 2 years. A single pharmacological injection of adrenocorticotropic hormone caused a 15-fold GC increase in feces above baseline within 10 h, a peak at 12 h, and a return to baseline at 20 h, demonstrating the biological relationship between adrenal activation and GC excretion. Longitudinal androgen and GC excretory profiles in male giant pandas housed at North American (n = 2) and Chinese (n = 3) facilities were similar, with fecal androgens generally exceeding baseline coincident with the onset of the 5-month annual breeding season (January June), after which values returned to nadir. Similarly, fecal GC excretion increased during the breeding season but was baseline thereafter. Fecal androgen and GC in a single male monitored through transition from subadult to sexual maturity also occurred in parallel. In this individual, basal fecal androgen and GC increased 88% and 66%, respectively, from 5 to 6 years of age. Collectively, these data demonstrate seasonal variations in gonadal activity in the giant panda by measuring androgen metabolites in feces, with elevations consistently occurring from January through June before a return to baseline for 4 6 months. Findings also reveal a similar temporal rise in adrenal GC patterns associated with breeding season onset, perhaps a mechanism to enhance metabolism, maximize body energy stores, and provide a competitive advantage in achieving mating opportunities. Examination of data from a single male suggests that the ability to produce these seasonal androgen and GC elevations is age dependent and occurs coincident with puberty.

Conroy, Charlie TI A substantial population of low-mass stars in luminous elliptical galaxies SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID SPECTRAL FEATURES; STELLAR EVOLUTION; M-DWARF; FRAGMENTATION; CONSTRAINTS; CLOUDS; GROWTH AB The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the mass distribution of stars at the time of their formation and is of fundamental importance for many areas of astrophysics. The IMF is reasonably well constrained in the disk of the Milky Way(1) but we have very little direct information on the form of the IMF in other galaxies and at earlier cosmic epochs. Here we report observations of the Na I doublet(2,3) and the Wing-Ford molecular FeH band(4,5) in the spectra of elliptical galaxies. These lines are strong in stars with masses less than 0.3 M(circle dot) (where M(circle dot) is the mass of the Sun) and are weak or absent in all other types of stars(5-7). We unambiguously detect both signatures, consistent with previous studies(8) that were based on data of lower signal-to-noise ratio. The direct detection of the light of low-mass stars implies that they are very abundant in elliptical galaxies, making up over 80% of the total number of stars and contributing more than 60% of the total stellar mass. We infer that the IMF in massive star-forming galaxies in the early Universe produced many more low-mass stars than the IMF in the Milky Way disk, and was probably slightly steeper than the Salpeter form(9) in the mass range 0.1 M(circle dot) to 1 M(circle dot).

We investigated changes in P forms in sawgrass (Cladium jamaicense Crantz) and cattail (Typha domingensis Pers.) leaf litter during 15 months of decomposition at two sites of markedly different nutrient status within a hard-water subtropical wetland (Water Conservation Area 2A, Florida). Leaf litter decomposition at the nutrient enriched site resulted in net sequestration of P from the environment in forms characteristic of microbial cells (i.e., phosphodiesters and pyrophosphate). In contrast, low P concentrations at the unenriched site resulted in little or no net sequestration of P, with changes in P forms limited to the loss of compounds present in the initial leaf litter. We conclude that under nutrient-rich conditions, P sequestration occurs through the accumulation of microbially derived compounds and the presumed concentration of endogenous macrophyte P. Under nutrient-poor conditions, standing P pools within wetland soils appear to be independent of the heterotrophic decomposition of macrophyte leaf litter. These conclusions have important implications for our ability to predict the nature, stability, and rates of P sequestration in wetlands in response to changes in nutrient loading.

TI Measurement of Dissolved Organic Matter Fluorescence in Aquatic Environments: An Interlaboratory Comparison SO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY LA English DT Article ID SPECTRAL CORRECTION STANDARD; ION-DOPED GLASS; COASTAL WATERS; RAMAN SCATTER; SPECTROSCOPY; CALIBRATION; MARINE; TOOL; PARAMETERS; OCEAN AB The fluorescent properties of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are often studied in order to infer DOM characteristics in aquatic environments, including source, quantity, composition, and behavior. While a potentially powerful technique, a single widely implemented standard method for correcting and presenting fluorescence measurements is lacking, leading to difficulties when comparing data collected by different research groups. This paper reports on a large-scale interlaboratory comparison in which natural samples and well-characterized fluorophores were analyzed in 20 laboratories in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. Shortcomings were evident in several areas, including data quality-assurance, the accuracy of spectral correction factors used to correct EEMs, and the treatment of optically dense samples. Data corrected by participants according to individual laboratory procedures were more variable than when corrected under a standard protocol. Wavelength dependency in measurement precision and accuracy were observed within and between instruments, even in corrected data. In an effort to reduce future occurrences of similar problems, algorithms for correcting and calibrating EEMs are described in detail, and MATLAB scripts for implementing the study's protocol are provided. Combined with the recent expansion of spectral fluorescence standards, this approach will serve to increase the intercomparability of DOM fluorescence studies.

We empirically test the robustness of neutrino mass results to these effects by separately analysing power spectra of red and blue galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II) Data Release 7 (DR7), combined with the CMB 5-yr Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP5) data. We consider fitting for a range of maximum wavenumber k using 12 different galaxy bias models. For example, using a new model based on perturbation theory and including redshift-space distortions, the all-galaxy power spectrum combined with WMAP5 for a wavenumber range of k < 0.2 h Mpc(-1) yields 95 per cent confidence limit Sigma m(v) <0.46 eV. The red and blue galaxy power spectra give 0.41 and 0.63 eV, respectively, for this model. Using mock catalogues, we find the expected difference in these limits assuming a true neutrino mass of zero is 0.10 +/- 0.14 eV. Thus, the difference of 0.22 eV between upper limits on neutrino mass for red and blue galaxies is approximately 1 Sigma from the expected value. We find similar results for the other models and k ranges tested. This indicates good agreement for current data but hints at possible issues for next-generation surveys. Being able to perform such systematic tests is advantageous, and future surveys would benefit by including broad galaxy populations and luminosities that enable such a decomposition.

TI ATMOSPHERIC IMAGING ASSEMBLY MULTITHERMAL LOOP ANALYSIS: FIRST RESULTS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Sun: corona; Sun: fundamental parameters; Sun: UV radiation ID X-RAY TELESCOPE; ACTIVE-REGION LOOPS; CORONAL LOOPS; SOHO EIT; SPECTROMETER; TEMPERATURE; FILTER; EMISSION; TRACE; MODEL AB The Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory has state-of-the-art spatial resolution and shows the most detailed images of coronal loops ever observed. The series of coronal filters peak at different temperatures, which span the range of active regions. These features represent a significant improvement over earlier coronal imagers and make AIA ideal for multithermal analysis. Here, we targeted a 171 angstrom coronal loop in AR 11092 observed by AIA on 2010 August 3. Isothermal analysis using the 171-to-193 ratio gave a temperature of log T approximate to 6.1, similar to the results of Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (EIT) and TRACE. Differential emission measure analysis, however, showed that the plasma was multithermal, not isothermal, with the bulk of the emission measure at log T > 6.1. The result from the isothermal analysis, which is the average of the true plasma distribution weighted by the instrument response functions, appears to be deceptively low. These results have potentially serious implications: EIT and TRACE results, which use the same isothermal method, show substantially smaller temperature gradients than predicted by standard models for loops in hydrodynamic equilibrium and have been used as strong evidence in support of footpoint heating models. These implications may have to be re-examined in the wake of new results from AIA. C1 [Schmelz, J. T.; Kimble, J. A.; Jenkins, B. S.; Worley, B. T.; Anderson, D.

TI Large-amplitude electrostatic waves observed at a supercritical interplanetary shock SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-SPACE PHYSICS LA English DT Article ID EARTHS BOW SHOCK; CYCLOTRON HARMONIC-WAVES; QUASI-PERPENDICULAR SHOCK; CRITICAL MACH NUMBER; ISEE-2 OBSERVATIONS; COLLISIONLESS SHOCKS; DRIFT INSTABILITY; WIND SPACECRAFT; INTENSE BURSTS; UPSTREAM AB We present the first observations at an interplanetary shock of large-amplitude (> 100 mV/m pk-pk) solitary waves and large-amplitude (similar to 30 mV/m pk-pk) waves exhibiting characteristics consistent with electron Bernstein waves. The Bernstein-like waves show enhanced power at integer and half-integer harmonics of the cyclotron frequency with a broadened power spectrum at higher frequencies, consistent with the electron cyclotron drift instability. The Bernstein-like waves are obliquely polarized with respect to the magnetic field but parallel to the shock normal direction. Strong particle heating is observed in both the electrons and ions. The observed heating and waveforms are likely due to instabilities driven by the free energy provided by reflected ions at this supercritical interplanetary shock. These results offer new insights into collisionless shock dissipation and wave-particle interactions in the solar wind. C1 [Wilson, L. B., III; Cattell, C. A.; Kellogg, P.

TI The Impact of Conservation on the Status of the World's Vertebrates SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID GLOBAL BIODIVERSITY; CLIMATE-CHANGE; EXTINCTIONS; DECLINES; BENEFITS; FUTURE; INDEX AB Using data for 25,780 species categorized on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, we present an assessment of the status of the world's vertebrates. One-fifth of species are classified as Threatened, and we show that this figure is increasing: On average, 52 species of mammals, birds, and amphibians move one category closer to extinction each year. However, this overall pattern conceals the impact of conservation successes, and we show that the rate of deterioration would have been at least one-fifth again as much in the absence of these. Nonetheless, current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups: agricultural expansion, logging, overexploitation, and invasive alien species.

Although structural differences between the analogues are minimal, comparison of the in vitro cytotoxicity of the series revealed a structure-activity relationship. When the ethyl substituent of 1 is changed to a methyl substituent in 2, activity is only slightly reduced (3-4-fold), whereas inversion of the Phe unit flanking the bis-thiazoline moiety results in 16-23-fold greater potency. We show that both 1 and 3 cause G1 phase cell cycle arrest at lower concentrations, followed at higher concentrations by G2/M phase arrest, and that these compounds bind Cu(2+). and Zn(2+). The three-dimensional structure of 2 was determined by MS, NMR, and X-ray crystallography, and the structure of 3 was established by MS, NMR, and chemical degradation. The structure of 3 was explored by in silico molecular modeling, revealing subtle differences in overall conformation between 1 and 3. Attempts to interconvert 1 and 3 with base were unsuccessful, but enzymatic conversion may be possible and could be a novel form of activation for chemical defense.

Kempton, Eliza Miller-Ricci Homeier, Derek TI A ground-based transmission spectrum of the super-Earth exoplanet GJ 1214b SO NATURE LA English DT Article ID OCEAN-PLANETS; MASS; ATMOSPHERES; SEARCH; RICH AB In contrast to planets with masses similar to that of Jupiter and higher, the bulk compositions of planets in the so-called super-Earth regime (masses 2-10 times that of the Earth) cannot be uniquely determined from a measurement of mass and radius alone. For these planets, there is a degeneracy between the mass and composition of both the interior and a possible atmosphere in theoretical models(1,2). The recently discovered transiting super-Earth exoplanet GJ 1214b is one example of this problem(3). Three distinct models for the planet that are consistent with its mass and radius have been suggested(4). Breaking the degeneracy between these models requires obtaining constraints on the planet's atmospheric composition(5,6). Here we report a ground-based measurement of the transmission spectrum of GJ 1214b between wavelengths of 780 and 1,000 nm. The lack of features in this spectrum rules out (at 4.9 sigma confidence) cloud-free atmospheres composed primarily of hydrogen. If the planet's atmosphere is hydrogen-dominated, then it must contain clouds or hazes that are optically thick at the observed wavelengths at pressures less than 200 mbar. Alternatively, the featureless transmission spectrum is also consistent with the presence of a dense, water vapour atmosphere.

Sixteen adult morphological characters were identified and scored for the six taxa currently recognized in this subgenus: Cicindela (Pancallia) angulicollis Horn 1900, C. (P.) aurofasciata Dejean 1831, C. (P.) goryi Chaudoir 1852 (new status), C. (P.) princeps ducalis Horn 1897, C. (P.) princeps princeps Vigors 1825, and C. (P.) shivah Parry 1848. Cladistic parsimony analysis of the resulting taxon-character matrix using the computer program NONA identified a single most parsimonious tree for these six taxa. Cicindela (Pancallia) angulicollis is the sister-species of the rare C. (P.) shivah, a species of current conservation interest in India. Cicindela (Pancallia) princeps is the sister-species of a monophyletic clade containing C. (P.) aurofasciata and C. (P.) gotyi. Cicindela (Pancallia) goryi is restored to full species status based on differences in morphology, behavior, and ecological associations which separate this taxon from C. (P.) aurofasciata.

Because of population declines, this species is considered endangered in Canada, and burrowing owls are listed as a species of conservation concern in states of the western USA. Korfanta et al. (2002) previously presented primers for seven microsatellite loci in burrowing owls. Parentage and relatedness studies require a larger number of markers for accuracy and precision. Here, we developed and characterized 18 additional microsatellite DNA loci, and we tested these loci in 23 individuals. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 11; two loci deviated from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium following Bonferroni correction; we did not detect linkage disequilibrium following Bonferroni correction; and the probability of exclusion for parent pairs using all loci was > 0.9999. We envision these loci will facilitate detailed analyses of the genetic mating system of burrowing owls, which is poorly understood.

We describe a fast and reliable genetic method that differentiates faeces of five potentially sympatric North American canids without using multiple primer sets or restriction enzyme digestion. Our primer set amplifies a short fragment (237-288 bp) of the mitochondrial d-loop that is a different length in each species: kit fox (Vulpes macrotis), red fox (Vulpes vulpes), gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), coyote (Canis latrans), and dog (Canis familiaris). We extensively tested our technique using published and novel d-loop sequences and then applied it to two large faecal data sets collected in California and Virginia. It provides an efficient tool for noninvasively distinguishing sympatric canids in diverse regions of North America.

TI THE X-RAY SPECTRA OF THE LUMINOUS LMXBs IN NGC 3379: FIELD AND GLOBULAR CLUSTER SOURCES SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: individual (NGC 3379); X-rays: binaries; X-rays: galaxies ID ABSORPTION CROSS-SECTIONS; BLACK-HOLE ACCRETION; ELLIPTIC GALAXIES; DEEP CHANDRA; HIGH STATE; MASS; BINARIES; POPULATIONS; CONNECTION; DISTANCES AB From a deep multi-epoch Chandra observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 we report the spectral properties of eight luminous LMXBs (L-X > 1.2 x 10(38) erg s(-1)). We also present a set of spectral simulations, produced to aid the interpretation of low-count single-component spectral modeling. These simulations demonstrate that it is possible to infer the spectral states of X-ray binaries from these simple models and thereby constrain the properties of the source. Of the eight LMXBs studied, three reside within globular clusters (GCs) and one is a confirmed field source. Due to the nature of the luminosity cut, all sources are either neutron star (NS) binaries emitting at or above the Eddington luminosity or black hole (BH) binaries. The spectra from these sources are well described by single-component models, with parameters consistent with Galactic LMXB observations, where hard-state sources have a range in photon index of 1.5-1.9 and thermally dominant (TD) sources have inner-disk temperatures between similar to 0.7 and 1.55 keV. The large variability observed in the brightest GC source (L-X > 4 x 10(38) erg s(-1)) suggests the presence of a BH binary. At its most luminous this source is observed in a TD state with kT(in) = 1.5 keV, consistent with a BH mass of similar to 4 M-circle dot. This observation provides further evidence that GCs are able to retain such massive binaries. We also observed a source transitioning from a bright state (L-X similar to 1 x 10(39) erg s(-1)), with prominent thermal and non-thermal components, to a less luminous hard state (L-X = 3.8 x 10(38) erg s(-1), Gamma = 1.85). In its high flux emission, this source exhibits a cool-disk component of similar to 0.14 keV, similar to spectra observed in some ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). Such a similarity indicates a possible link between "normal" stellar-mass BHs in a high accretion state and ULXs. C1 [Brassington, N.

Phylogenetic analysis of the scored AFLP results showed two major clades (clades A and B) with six and sixteen alleles that were uniquely observed in clade A and B, respectively. Within clade B. subtle but significant genetic differences between individuals in the Sulu and those in the other seas were also observed, suggesting a role for semienclosed marginal seas in allopatric speciation.

Infusions in three concentrations (2.5, 5, and 25 g dm(-3)) of leaves cultivated in three environments (in vitro, acclimatized growth chamber, and field) were used. Six onion bulbs were used for each of the eight treatments, and the mitotic index was obtained from 6000 cells per treatment. In conclusion, leaf infusions of P. sagittalis cultivated in the field have a high antiproliferative activity, as well as the cultivation system influences the antiproliferative potential.

The X-ray spectrum 52 days after outburst indicates a hot source ( kT(bb) similar to 70 eV). Narrow-line components from the irradiated companion atmosphere were observed in hydrogen and helium optical recombination lines. The formation of a nebular spectrum is seen for the first time in this class of recurrent novae, allowing a detailed study of the ejecta using photoionization models. Unusual [O III] auroral-to-nebular line ratios were found and possible scenarios of their origin are discussed. The modeling of the emission line spectrum suggests highly heterogeneous ejecta with masses around or above 3 x 10(-6) M(sun). C1 [Diaz, M.

TI Another look at the BL Lacertae flux and spectral variability Observations by GASP-WEBT, XMM-Newton, and Swift in 2008-2009 SO ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS LA English DT Article DE galaxies: active; BL Lacertae objects: general; BL Lacertae objects: individual: BL Lacertae; galaxies: jets ID ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; PHOTON IMAGING CAMERA; RADIO LIGHT CURVES; GAMMA-RAY OUTBURST; 3C 454.3; HELICAL JETS; INNER JET; BLAZARS; FLARE; TELESCOPE AB Aims. In a previous study we suggested that the broad-band emission and variability properties of BL Lacertae can be accounted for by a double synchrotron emission component with related inverse-Compton emission from the jet, plus thermal radiation from the accretion disc. Here we investigate the matter with further data extending over a wider energy range. Methods. The GLAST-AGILE Support Program (GASP) of the whole earth blazar telescope (WEBT) monitored BL Lacertae in 2008-2009 at radio, near-IR, and optical frequencies to follow its flux behaviour. During this period, high-energy observations were performed by XMM-Newton, Swift, and Fermi. We analyse these data with particular attention to the calibration of Swift UV data, and apply a helical jet model to interpret the source broad-band variability. Results. The GASP-WEBT observations show an optical flare in 2008 February-March, and oscillations of several tenths of mag on a few-day time scale afterwards. The radio flux is only mildly variable. The UV data from both XMM-Newton and Swift seem to confirm a UV excess that is likely caused by thermal emission from the accretion disc. The X-ray data from XMM-Newton indicate a strongly concave spectrum, as well as moderate (similar to 4-7%) flux variability on an hour time scale. The Swift X-ray data reveal fast (interday) flux changes, not correlated with those observed at lower energies. We compare the spectral energy distribution (SED) corresponding to the 2008 low-brightness state, which was characterised by a synchrotron dominance, to the 1997 outburst state, where the inverse-Compton emission was prevailing. A fit with an inhomogeneous helical jet model suggests that two synchrotron components are at work with their self inverse-Compton emission. Most likely, they represent the radiation from two distinct emitting regions in the jet. We show that the difference between the source SEDs in 2008 and 1997 can be explained in terms of pure geometrical variations. The outburst state occurred when the jet-emitting regions were better aligned with the line of sight, producing an increase of the Doppler beaming factor. Conclusions. Our analysis demonstrates that the jet geometry can play an extremely important role in the BL Lacertae flux and spectral variability. Indeed, the emitting jet is probably a bent and dynamic structure, and hence changes in the emitting regions viewing angles are likely to happen, with strong consequences on the source multiwavelength behaviour.

This correlation bolsters the view that cosmic rays (CRs) in the LMC may be accelerated by conglomerations of supernova remnants (i.e., superbubbles), although it cannot yet be ruled out that other objects-also residing in such high SFR regions-may be responsible for accelerating the particles: indeed, most energetic objects capable of accelerating CRs are expected to reside in high SFR regions.

TI VLBI OBSERVATIONS OF THE TYPE I b/c SUPERNOVA 2009bb SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE gamma-ray burst: general; ISM: supernova remnants; radio continuum: stars; supernovae: individual (sn2009bb) ID GAMMA-RAY-BURST; SN 1993J VLBI; CANDIDATE; SN-2001EM; EVOLUTION; 1998BW; 2007GR; SHELL; JET AB We report on VLBI as well as Very Large Array radio observations of the Type I b/c supernova 2009bb. The high radio luminosity of this supernova seems to require relativistic outflow, implying that the early radio emission was "engine-driven," that is, driven by collimated outflow from a compact object, even though no gamma-ray emission was seen. The radio light curve shows a general decline, with a "bump" near t = 52 d, seen most prominently at 5 GHz. The light-curve bump could be either engine-driven or it might represent the turn-on of the normal radio emission from a supernova, driven by interaction with the circumstellar material rather than by the engine. We undertook VLBI observations to resolve SN 2009bb's relativistic outflow. Our observations constrain the angular outer radius at an age of 85 d to be <0.64 mas, corresponding to <4 x 10(17) cm and an average apparent expansion speed of <1.74 c. This result is consistent with the moderately relativistic ejecta speeds implied by the radio luminosity and spectrum. C1 [Bietenholz, M.

Our three main findings are: (1) parsec-scale, filamentary structures of cold molecular gas are detected. Two filaments at different velocities intersect in the zone where the star formation is occurring. This is consistent with triggering of the star formation activity by the convergence of such filaments, as predicted by numerical simulations of star formation initiated by converging flows. (2) The two dusty cores (MM1 and MM2) at the intersection of the filaments are found to be at different evolutionary stages, and each of them is resolved into multiple condensations. MM1 and MM2 have markedly different temperatures, continuum spectral indices, molecular-line spectra, and masses of both stars and gas. (3) The dynamics of the "hot-core" MM1 indicates the presence of a rotating disk in its center (MM1-Main) around a faint free-free source. The stellar mass is estimated to be similar to 10 M-circle dot. A massive molecular outflow is observed along the rotation axis of the disk.

The resulting spectral energy distributions unambiguously show a stellar population in 46 sources and hot dust emission associated with the active nucleus in 59. Using a new rest-frame S-3 (mu m)/S-1.6 (mu m) versus S-5 (mu m)/S-3 (mu m) criterion, we identify 42 sources where the rest-frame 1.6 (mu m) emission from the stellar population can be measured. For these radio galaxies, the median stellar mass is high, 2 x 10(11) M-circle dot, and remarkably constant within the range 1 < z < 3. At z > 3, there is tentative evidence for a factor of two decrease in stellar mass. This suggests that radio galaxies have assembled the bulk of their stellar mass by z similar to 3, but confirmation by more detailed decomposition of stellar and active galactic nucleus (AGN) emission is needed. The rest-frame 500 MHz radio luminosities are only marginally correlated with stellar mass but are strongly correlated with the rest-frame 5 mu m hot dust luminosity. This suggests that the radio galaxies have a large range of Eddington ratios. We also present new Very Large Array 4.86 and 8.46 GHz imaging of 14 radio galaxies and find that radio core dominance-an indicator of jet orientation-is strongly correlated with hot dust luminosity. While all of our targets were selected as narrow-lined, type 2 AGNs, this result can be understood in the context of orientation-dependent models if there is a continuous distribution of orientations from obscured type 2 to unobscured type 1 AGNs rather than a clear dichotomy. Finally, four radio galaxies have nearby (<6 '') companions whose mid-IR colors are suggestive of their being AGNs. This may indicate an association between radio galaxy activity and major mergers.

An alternative interpretation is a disk emitter origin for the double-peaked line profile. Using simple BLR models, we calculate the expected broad line profile for an SMBH binary at different separations. Under reasonable assumptions that both BLRs are illuminated by the two active SMBHs and that the ionizing flux at the BLR location is roughly constant, we confirm the emergence of double-peaked features and radial velocity drifts of the two peaks due to the binary orbital motion. However, such a clear double-peaked feature only arises in a particular stage of the binary evolution when the two black holes (BHs) are close enough such that the line-of-sight orbital velocity difference is larger than the FWHM of the individual broad components, while the two BLRs are still mostly distinct. Prior to this stage, the velocity splitting due to the orbit motion of the binary is too small to separate the emission from the two BLRs, leading to asymmetric broad line profiles in general. When the two BHs are even closer such that the two BLRs can no longer be distinct, the line profile becomes more complex and the splitting of the peaks does not correspond to the orbital motion of the binary. In this regime, there are no coherent radial velocity drifts in the peaks with time. Asymmetric line profiles are probably a far more common signature of binary SMBHs than double-peaked profiles. We discuss the temporal variations of the broad line profile for binary SMBHs and highlight the different behaviors of reverberation mapping in the binary and disk emitter cases, which may serve as a feasible tool to disentangle these two scenarios.

Such encounters are responsible for the formation of long tails and bridges during galaxy collisions. For high-speed encounters, the resulting velocity perturbations can be described by the impulse approximation. The traditional impulse approximation, however, does not distinguish between prograde and retrograde encounters, and therefore completely misses the resonant response. Here, we modify the impulse approximation to include the effects of quasi-resonant phenomena on stars orbiting within a disk. Explicit expressions are derived for the velocity and energy changes to the stars induced by tidal forces from an external gravitational perturber passing either on a straight line or a parabolic orbit. Comparisons with numerical-restricted three-body calculations illustrate the applicability of our analysis.

From changes in the spectral slope and CO line depths near the center, I find evidence for unresolved dust emission resulting from black hole (BH) accretion. With a luminosity of similar to 2x10(38) erg s(-1), this dust emission appears to be the most luminous tracer of current BH accretion, 2 orders of magnitude more luminous than previously detected X-ray emission. These observations suggest that using high-resolution infrared data to search for dust emission may be an effective way to detect other nearby, low-luminosity BHs, such as those in globular clusters. I also examine the fossil evidence of gas accretion contained in the kinematics of the stars in the nucleus. The higher order moments (h3 and h4) of the line-of-sight velocity distribution show patterns that are remarkably similar to those seen on larger scales in elliptical galaxies and in gas-rich merger simulations. The kinematics suggests the presence of two components in the M32 nucleus, a dominant disk overlying a pressure supported component. I discuss possible formation scenarios for the M32 nucleus in the context of the kinematic data as well as previous stellar population studies. The kinematic measurements presented here are the highest quality available for the nucleus of M32, and may be useful for any future dynamical models of this benchmark system.

TI PROPERTIES OF A POLAR CORONAL HOLE DURING THE SOLAR MINIMUM IN 2007 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Sun: abundances; Sun: activity; Sun: corona ID COLLISIONAL IONIZATION EQUILIBRIUM; ULTRAVIOLET IMAGING SPECTROMETER; AN ATOMIC DATABASE; EMISSION-LINES; RATE COEFFICIENTS; ION TEMPERATURES; SOHO MISSION; CHIANTI; WIND; SUMER AB We report measurements of a polar coronal hole during the recent solar minimum using the Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on Hinode. Five observations are analyzed that span the polar coronal hole from the central meridian to the boundary with the quiet-Sun corona. We study the observations above the solar limb in the height range of 1.03-1.20R(circle dot). The electron temperature T-e and emission measure (EM) are found using a geometric mean emission measure method. The EM derived from the elements Fe, Si, S, and Al are compared in order to measure relative coronal-to-photospheric abundance enhancement factors. We also studied the ion temperature T-i and the non-thermal velocity v(nt) using the line profiles. All these measurements are compared to polar coronal hole observations from the previous (1996-1997) solar minimum and to model predictions for relative abundances. There are many similarities in the physical properties of the polar coronal holes between the two minima at these low heights. We find that the electron density, T-e, and Ti are comparable in both minima. T-e shows a comparable gradient with height. Both minima show a decreasing Ti with increasing charge-to-mass ratio q/M. A previously observed upturn of Ti for ions above q/M > 0.25 was not found here. We also compared relative coronal-to-photospheric elemental abundance enhancement factors for a number of elements. These ratios were similar to 1 for both the low first ionization potential (FIP) elements Si and Al and the marginally high FIP element S relative to the low FIP element Fe, as is expected based on earlier observations and models for a polar coronal hole. These results are consistent with no FIP effect in a polar coronal hole. C1 [Hahn, M.; Savin, D. W.] Columbia Univ, Columbia Astrophys Lab, New York, NY 10027 USA.

We have detected 244 discrete X-ray sources down to a limiting flux of 10(-15) erg s(-1) cm(-2). We identify 37 X-ray-selected thermal SNRs based on their X-ray colors or spectra, 30 of which are new discoveries. In many cases, the X-ray classification is confirmed based on counterparts with SNRs identified in other wavelengths. Three of the galaxies in our sample (NGC 4214, NGC 4395, and NGC 5204) are studied for the first time, resulting in the discovery of 13 thermal SNRs. We discuss the properties (luminosity, temperature, and density) of the X-ray-detected SNRs in the galaxies of our sample in order to address their dependence on their environment. We find that X-ray-selected SNRs in irregular galaxies appear to be more luminous than those in spirals. We attribute this to the lower metallicities and therefore more massive progenitor stars of irregular galaxies or the higher local densities of the interstellar medium. We also discuss the X-ray-selected SNR populations in the context of the star formation rate of their host galaxies. A comparison of the numbers of observed luminous X-ray-selected SNRs with those expected based on the luminosity functions of X-ray SNRs in the Magellanic Clouds and M33 suggest different luminosity distributions between the SNRs in spiral and irregular galaxies with the latter tending to have flatter distributions.

TI RADIO AND X-RAY OBSERVATIONS OF THE TYPE Ic SN 2007gr REVEAL AN ORDINARY, NON-RELATIVISTIC EXPLOSION SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE gamma-ray burst: general; supernovae: individual (SN 2007gr) ID BURST AFTERGLOWS; IBC SUPERNOVA; LIGHT-CURVE; GRB 980425; EMISSION; CALORIMETRY; JETS; PROGENITORS; GRB-030329; EVOLUTION AB We present extensive radio and X-ray observations of the nearby Type Ic SN 2007gr in NGC 1058 obtained with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory and spanning 5 to 150 days after explosion. Through our detailed modeling of these data, we estimate the properties of the blast wave and the circumstellar environment. We find evidence for a freely expanding and non-relativistic explosion with an average blast wave velocity, (v) over bar approximate to 0.2c, and a total internal energy for the radio emitting material of E approximate to 2 x 10(46) erg assuming equipartition of energy between electrons and magnetic fields (is an element of(e) = is an element of(B) = 0.1). The temporal and spectral evolution of the radio emission points to a stellar wind-blown environment shaped by a steady progenitor mass loss rate of over dot (M) over dot approximate to 6x10(-7)M(circle dot) yr(-1) (wind velocity, v(w) = 10(3) km s(-1)). These parameters are fully consistent with those inferred for other SNe Ibc and are in line with the expectations for an ordinary, homologous SN explosion. Our results are at odds with those of Paragi et al. who recently reported evidence for a relativistic blast wave in SN 2007gr based on their claim that the radio emission was resolved away in a low signal-to-noise Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observation. Here we show that the exotic physical scenarios required to explain the claimed relativistic velocity-extreme departures from equipartition and/or a highly collimated outflow-are excluded by our detailed VLA radio observations. Moreover, we present an independent analysis of the VLBI data and propose that a modest loss of phase coherence provides a more natural explanation for the apparent flux density loss which is evident on both short and long baselines. We conclude that SN 2007gr is an ordinary Type Ibc supernova. C1 [Soderberg, A. M.] Harvard Smithsonian Ctr Astrophys, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA.

TI THE PROPERTIES OF X-RAY COLD FRONTS IN A STATISTICAL SAMPLE OF SIMULATED GALAXY CLUSTERS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: clusters: intracluster medium; large-scale structure of universe; methods: numerical; X-rays: galaxies: clusters ID ADAPTIVE MESH REFINEMENT; N-BODY SIMULATIONS; DARK-MATTER; MAGNETOHYDRODYNAMIC SIMULATIONS; CHANDRA OBSERVATION; COSMOLOGICAL SIMULATIONS; INTERGALACTIC MEDIUM; DYNAMICAL EVOLUTION; CORE; SUBSTRUCTURE AB We examine the incidence of cold fronts in a large sample of galaxy clusters extracted from a (512 h(-1) Mpc) hydrodynamic/N-body cosmological simulation with adiabatic gas physics computed with the Enzo adaptive mesh refinement code. This simulation contains a sample of roughly 4000 galaxy clusters with M >= 10(14)M(circle dot) at z = 0. For each simulated galaxy cluster, we have created mock 0.3-8.0 keV X-ray observations and spectroscopic-like temperature maps. We have searched these maps with a new automated algorithm to identify the presence of cold fronts in projection. Using a threshold of a minimum of 10 cold front pixels in our images, corresponding to a total comoving length L-cf > 156 h(-1) kpc, we find that roughly 10%-12% of all projections in a mass-limited sample would be classified as cold front clusters. Interestingly, the fraction of clusters with extended cold front features in our synthetic maps of a mass-limited sample trends only weakly with redshift out to z = 1.0. However, when using different selection functions, including a simulated flux limit, the trending with redshift changes significantly. The likelihood of finding cold fronts in the simulated clusters in our sample is a strong function of cluster mass. In clusters with M > 7.5 x 10(14)M(circle dot) the cold front fraction is 40%-50%. We also show that the presence of cold fronts is strongly correlated with disturbed morphology as measured by quantitative structure measures. Finally, we find that the incidence of cold fronts in the simulated cluster images is strongly dependent on baryonic physics.

TI THE BLUE TIP OF THE STELLAR LOCUS: MEASURING REDDENING WITH THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE dust, extinction; Galaxy: stellar content; ISM: clouds ID MILKY-WAY TOMOGRAPHY; ULTRAVIOLET EXTINCTION; GALACTIC EXTINCTION; CLOUDS; CALIBRATION; EMISSION; GALAXIES; COUNTS; MAPS; SDSS AB We present measurements of reddening due to dust using the colors of stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure the color of main-sequence turnoff stars by finding the "blue tip" of the stellar locus: the prominent blue edge in the distribution of stellar colors. The method is sensitive to color changes of order 18, 12, 7, and 8 mmag of reddening in the colors u - g, g - r, r - i, and i - z, respectively, in regions measuring 90' by 14'. We present maps of the blue tip colors in each of these bands over the entire SDSS footprint, including the new dusty southern Galactic cap data provided by the SDSS-III. The results disfavor the best-fit O'Donnell and Cardelli et al. reddening laws, but are described well by a Fitzpatrick reddening law with RV = 3.1. The Schlegel et al. (SFD) dust map is found to trace the dust well, but overestimates reddening by factors of 1.4, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4 in u - g, g - r, r - i, and i - z largely due to the adopted reddening law. In select dusty regions of the sky, we find evidence for problems in the SFD temperature correction. A dust map normalization difference of 15% between the Galactic north and south sky may be due to these dust temperature errors.

TI THE STELLAR AGES AND MASSES OF SHORT GAMMA-RAY BURST HOST GALAXIES: INVESTIGATING THE PROGENITOR DELAY TIME DISTRIBUTION AND THE ROLE OF MASS AND STAR FORMATION IN THE SHORT GAMMA-RAY BURST RATE SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE gamma-ray burst: general ID IA SUPERNOVAE; OPTICAL AFTERGLOWS; NEUTRON-STARS; LONG; GRB; REDSHIFT; EMISSION; GRB-060614; GRB-050709; POPULATION AB We present multi-band optical and near-infrared observations of 19 short gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies, aimed at measuring their stellar masses and population ages. The goals of this study are to evaluate whether short GRBs track the stellar mass distribution of galaxies, to investigate the progenitor delay time distribution, and to explore any connection between long and short GRB progenitors. Using single stellar population models we infer masses of log(M-*/M-circle dot) approximate to 8.8-11.6, with a median of < log(M-*/M-circle dot)> approximate to 10.1, and population ages of tau(*) approximate to 0.03-4.4 Gyr with a median of approximate to 0.3 Gyr. We further infer maximal masses of log(M-*/M-circle dot) approximate to 9.7-11.9 by assuming stellar population ages equal to the age of the universe at each host's redshift. Comparing the distribution of stellar masses to the general galaxy mass function, we find that short GRBs track the cosmic stellar mass distribution only if the late-type hosts generally have maximal masses. However, there is an apparent dearth of early-type hosts compared to the equal contribution of early-and late-type galaxies to the cosmic stellar mass budget. Similarly, the short GRB rate per unit old stellar mass appears to be elevated in the late-type hosts. These results suggest that stellar mass may not be the sole parameter controlling the short GRB rate, and raise the possibility of a two-component model with both mass and star formation playing a role (reminiscent of the case for Type Ia supernovae). If short GRBs in late-type galaxies indeed track the star formation activity, the resulting typical delay time is similar to 0.2 Gyr, while those in early-type hosts have a typical delay of similar to 3 Gyr. Using the same stellar population models, we fit the broadband photometry for 22 long GRB host galaxies in a similar redshift range and find that they have significantly lower masses and younger population ages, with < log(M-*/M-circle dot)> approximate to 9.1 and approximate to 0.06 Gyr, respectively; their maximal masses are similarly lower, < log(M-*/M-circle dot)> approximate to 9.6, and as expected do not track the galaxy mass function. Most importantly, the two GRB host populations remain distinct even if we consider only the star-forming hosts of short GRBs, supporting our previous findings (based on star formation rates and metallicities) that the progenitors of long and short GRBs in late-type galaxies are distinct. Given the much younger stellar populations of long GRB hosts (and hence of long GRB progenitors), and the substantial differences in host properties, we caution against the use of Type I and II designations for GRBs since this may erroneously imply that all GRBs which track star formation activity share the same massive star progenitors.

TI FIVE KEPLER TARGET STARS THAT SHOW MULTIPLE TRANSITING EXOPLANET CANDIDATES SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE planetary systems; stars: individual (KIC 8394721, KIC 5972334, KIC 10723750, KIC 7287995, KIC 7825899); techniques: photometric; techniques: spectroscopic ID EXTRASOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS; MASS-RADIUS RELATIONSHIPS; TIMING VARIATIONS; SUPER-EARTHS; TERRESTRIAL PLANETS; SOLID EXOPLANETS; GIANT IMPACTS; DETECTABILITY; ECCENTRICITY; CONSTRAINTS AB We present and discuss five candidate exoplanetary systems identified with the Kepler spacecraft. These five systems show transits from multiple exoplanet candidates. Should these objects prove to be planetary in nature, then these five systems open new opportunities for the field of exoplanets and provide new insights into the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. We discuss the methods used to identify multiple transiting objects from the Kepler photometry as well as the false-positive rejection methods that have been applied to these data. One system shows transits from three distinct objects while the remaining four systems show transits from two objects. Three systems have planet candidates that are near mean motion commensurabilities-two near 2:1 and one just outside 5:2. We discuss the implications that multi-transiting systems have on the distribution of orbital inclinations in planetary systems, and hence their dynamical histories, as well as their likely masses and chemical compositions. A Monte Carlo study indicates that, with additional data, most of these systems should exhibit detectable transit timing variations (TTVs) due to gravitational interactions, though none are apparent in these data. We also discuss new challenges that arise in TTV analyses due to the presence of more than two planets in a system. C1 [Steffen, Jason H.] Fermilab Ctr Particle Astrophys, Batavia, IL 60510 USA.

TI STAR FORMATION IN THE TAURUS FILAMENT L 1495: FROM DENSE CORES TO STARS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE dust, extinction; ISM: clouds; ISM: individual objects (L1495); ISM: structure; stars: formation ID MOLECULAR CLOUDS; DARK CLOUDS; VLBA DETERMINATION; PIPE NEBULA; INTERSTELLAR EXTINCTION; INITIAL CONDITIONS; FORMING REGIONS; MASS FUNCTION; HERSCHEL; DISTANCE AB We present a study of dense structures in the L 1495 filament in the Taurus Molecular Cloud and examine its star-forming properties. In particular, we construct a dust extinction map of the filament using deep near-infrared observations, exposing its small-scale structure in unprecedented detail. The filament shows highly fragmented substructures and a high mass-per-length value of M-line = 17 M-circle dot pc(-1), reflecting star-forming potential in all parts of it. However, a part of the filament, namely B 211, is remarkably devoid of young stellar objects. We argue that in this region the initial filament collapse and fragmentation is still taking place and star formation is yet to occur. In the star-forming part of the filament, we identify 39 cores with masses from 0.4 to 10 M-circle dot and preferred separations in agreement with the local Jeans length. Most of these cores exceed the Bonnor-Ebert critical mass, and are therefore likely to collapse and form stars. The dense core mass function follows a power law with exponent Gamma = 1.2 +/- 0.2, a form commonly observed in star-forming regions.

From this comparison, we find no statistically significant correlation between host metallicity and redshift, E-gamma,E-iso, or E-gamma. These results are at odds with previous theoretical and observational predictions of an inverse correlation between gamma-ray energy release and host metallicity, as well as the standard predictions of metallicity-driven wind effects in stellar evolutionary models. We consider the implications that these results have for LGRB progenitor scenarios, and discuss our current understanding of the role that metallicity plays in the production of LGRBs.

EMITTED SPECTRA SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE cosmic rays; ISM: supernova remnants; radiation mechanisms: thermal; shock waves; X-rays: ISM ID HELIUM-LIKE IONS; X-RAY-EMISSION; RX J1713.7-3946; PLASMA; SOLAR; SN-1006; MODELS AB We present a grid of nonequilibrium ionization models for the X-ray spectra from supernova remnants undergoing efficient diffusive shock acceleration. The calculation follows the hydrodynamics of the blast wave as well as the time-dependent ionization of the plasma behind the shock. The ionization state is passed to a plasma emissivity code to compute the thermal X-ray emission, which is combined with the emission from nonthermal synchrotron emission to produce a self-consistent model for the thermal and nonthermal emission from cosmic-ray dominated shocks. We show how plasma diagnostics such as the G'-ratio of He-like ions, defined as the ratio of the sum of the intercombination, forbidden, and satellite lines to the resonance line, can vary with acceleration efficiency, and discuss how the thermal X-ray emission, when the time-dependent ionization is not calculated self-consistently with the hydrodynamics, can differ from the thermal X-ray emission from models which do account for the hydrodynamics. Finally, we compare the thermal X-ray emission from models which show moderate acceleration (similar to 35%) to the thermal X-ray emission from test-particle models.

TI THE FORMATION OF LOW-MASS BINARY STAR SYSTEMS VIA TURBULENT FRAGMENTATION SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE accretion, accretion disks; binaries: general; radiative transfer; turbulence ID ECCENTRIC GRAVITATIONAL INSTABILITIES; SOLAR-TYPE STARS; PROTOSTELLAR DISKS; MULTIPLE SYSTEMS; BROWN DWARFS; HYDRODYNAMIC SIMULATIONS; MAGNETIC-FIELDS; SINK PARTICLES; GASEOUS DISKS; CORES AB We characterize the infall rate onto protostellar systems forming in self-gravitating radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. Using two dimensionless parameters to determine the disks' susceptibility to gravitational fragmentation, we infer limits on protostellar system multiplicity and the mechanism of binary formation. We show that these parameters give robust predictions even in the case of marginally resolved protostellar disks. We find that protostellar systems with radiation feedback predominately form binaries via turbulent fragmentation, not disk instability, and predict that turbulent fragmentation is the dominant channel for binary formation for low-mass stars. We clearly demonstrate that systems forming in simulations including radiative feedback have fundamentally different parameters than those in purely hydrodynamics simulations. C1 [Offner, Stella S.

THE INFRARED LUMINOSITY FUNCTION AND STAR FORMATION RATE SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: clusters: individual (1E0657-56, The Bullet Cluster); galaxies: evolution; galaxies: luminosity function, mass function; infrared: galaxies ID HUBBLE-SPACE-TELESCOPE; INITIAL MASS FUNCTION; ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; RICH GALAXY CLUSTERS; DIGITAL SKY SURVEY; PANORAMIC H-ALPHA; FORMING GALAXIES; DISTANT CLUSTERS; S0 GALAXIES; EVOLUTION AB The Bullet Cluster is a massive galaxy cluster at z = 0.297 undergoing a major supersonic (Mach 3) merger event. Using data from Spitzer MIPS and the Infrared Array Camera, optical imaging, and optical spectroscopy, we present the global star formation rate (SFR) of this unique cluster. Using a 90% spectroscopically complete sample of 37 star-forming MIPS confirmed cluster members out to R < 1.7 Mpc, and the Rieke et al. relation to convert from 24 mu m flux to SFR, we calculate an integrated obscured SFR of 267 M-circle dot yr(-1) and a specific SFR of 28 M-circle dot yr(-1) per 10(14) M-circle dot. The clustermass normalized integrated SFR of the Bullet Cluster is among the highest in a sample of eight other clusters and cluster mergers from the literature. Five LIRGs and one ULIRG contribute 30% and 40% of the total SFR of the cluster, respectively. To investigate the origin of the elevated specific SFR, we compare the infrared luminosity function (IR LF) of the Bullet Cluster to those of Coma (evolved to z = 0.297) and CL1358+62. The Bullet Cluster IR LF exhibits an excess of sources compared to the IR LFs of the other massive clusters. A Schechter function fit of the Bullet Cluster IR LF yields L* = 44.68 +/- 0.11 erg s(-1), which is similar to 0.25 and 0.35 dex brighter than L* of evolved Coma and CL1358+62, respectively. The elevated IR LF of the Bullet Cluster relative to other clusters can be explained if we attribute the "excess" star-forming IR galaxies to a population associated with the infalling group that has not yet been transformed into quiescent galaxies. In this case, the timescale required for quenching star formation in the cluster environment must be longer than the timescale since the group's accretion-a few hundred million years. We suggest that "strangulation" is likely to be an important process in the evolution of star formation in clusters.

We find that the dust emission peaks at an orbital radius of about 100 AU, while the CO intensity has a central peak coincident with the position of the star. The CO emission is in agreement with a disk in Keplerian rotation around a 2.0 M-circle dot star, confirming that MWC 758 is indeed an intermediate-mass star. By comparing the observation with theoretical disk models, we derive that the disk surface density Sigma(r) steeply increases from 40 to 100 AU and decreases exponentially outward. Within 40 AU, the disk has to be optically thin in the continuum emission at millimeter wavelengths to explain the observed dust morphology, though our observations lack the angular resolution and sensitivity required to constrain the surface density on these spatial scales. The surface density distribution in MWC 758 disk is similar to that of "transition" disks, though no disk clearing has been previously inferred from the analysis of the spectral energy distribution (SED). Moreover, the asymmetries observed in the dust and CO emission suggest that the disk may be gravitationally perturbed by a low-mass companion orbiting within a radius of 30 AU. Our results emphasize that SEDs alone do not provide a complete picture of disk structure and that high-resolution millimeter-wave images are essential to reveal the structure of the cool disk mid-plane.

TI FIELD AND GLOBULAR CLUSTER LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES IN NGC 4278 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: individual (NGC 4278); X-rays: binaries; X-rays: galaxies ID CHANDRA MONITORING OBSERVATIONS; EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES; BLACK-HOLE; ELLIPTIC GALAXIES; DEEP CHANDRA; H-I; METALLICITY; CONNECTION; DISTANCES; POPULATIONS AB We report a detailed spectral analysis of the population of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4278 with Chandra. Seven luminous sources were studied individually, four in globular clusters (GCs) and three in the stellar field. The range of (0.3-8 keV) L-X for these sources is similar to(3-8) x 10(38) erg s(-1), suggesting that they may be black hole binaries (BHBs). Fitting the data with either single thermal accretion disk or power-law (PO) models results in best-fit temperatures of similar to 0.7-1.7 keV and Gamma similar to 1.2-2.0, consistent with those measured in Galactic BHBs. Comparison of our results with simulations allows us to discriminate between disk and power-law-dominated emission, pointing to spectral/luminosity variability, reminiscent of Galactic BHBs. The BH masses derived from a comparison of our spectral results with the L-X similar to T-in(4) relation of Galactic BHBs are in the 5-15 M-circle dot range, as observed in the Milky Way. The analysis of joint spectra of sources selected in three luminosity ranges (L-X >= 1.5 x 10(38) erg s(-1), 6 x 10(37) erg s(-1) <= L-X < 1.5 x 10(38) erg s(-1), and L-X < 6 x 10(37) erg s(-1)) suggests that while the high-luminosity sources have prominent thermal disk emission components, power-law components are likely to be important in the mid-and low-luminosity spectra. Comparing low-luminosity average spectra, we find a relatively larger N-H in the GC spectrum; we speculate that this may point to either a metallicity effect or to intrinsic physical differences between field and GC accreting binaries. Analysis of average sample properties uncovers a previously unreported L-X-R-G correlation (where R-G is the galactocentric radius) in the GC-LMXB sample, implying richer LMXB populations in more central GCs. No such trend is seen in the field LMXB sample. We can exclude that the GC L-X-R-G correlation is the by-product of a luminosity effect and suggest that it may be related to the presence of more compact GCs at smaller galactocentric radii, fostering more efficient binary formation.

The observations were performed with the newly commissioned LUCIFER1 near-infrared (NIR) instrument mounted on the Large Binocular Telescope. We fitted lens models to the rest-frame optical images and found that the galaxy has an intrinsic effective radius of 7.4 +/- 0.8 kpc with a lens magnification factor of about 5 for the A and B components. We also discovered a new arc belonging to another lensed high-z source galaxy, which makes this lens system a potential double Einstein ring system. Using the high signal-to-noise ratio rest-frame spectra covered by the H+K band, we detected H beta, [O III], H alpha, [N II], and [S II] emission lines. Detailed physical properties of this high-z galaxy were derived. The extinction toward the ionized H II regions (E-g (B - V)) was computed from the flux ratio of H alpha and H beta and appears to be much higher than that toward the stellar continuum (E-s (B - V)), derived from the optical and NIR broadband photometry fitting. The metallicity was estimated using N2 and O3N2 indices. It is in the range of 1/5-1/3 solar abundance, which is much lower than for typical z similar to 2 star-forming galaxies. From the flux ratio of [S II]lambda 6717 and [S II]lambda 6732, we found that the electron number density of the H II regions in the high-z galaxy was similar or equal to 1000 cm(-3), consistent with other z similar to 2 galaxies butmuch higher than that in local H II regions. The star formation rate was estimated via the Ha luminosity, after correction for the lens magnification, to be about 365 +/- 69 M-circle dot yr(-1). Combining the FWHM of Ha emission lines and the half-light radius, we found that the dynamical mass of the lensed galaxy is (5.8 +/- 0.9) x 10(10) M-circle dot. The gas mass is (5.1 +/- 1.1) x 10(10) M-circle dot from the Ha flux surface density using global Kennicutt-Schmidt law, indicating a very high gas fraction of 0.79 +/- 0.19 in J0900+2234.

TI THE BLACK HOLE MASS DISTRIBUTION IN THE GALAXY SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE black hole physics; X-rays: binaries ID X-RAY TRANSIENTS; GRO J0422+32; BINARY-SYSTEMS; NEUTRON-STAR; RELATIVISTIC JETS; INITIAL MASS; DONOR STAR; X-1; INCLINATION; QUIESCENCE AB We use dynamical mass measurements of 16 black holes in transient low-mass X-ray binaries to infer the stellar black hole mass distribution in the parent population. We find that the observations are best described by a narrow mass distribution at 7.8 +/- 1.2 M-circle dot. We identify a selection effect related to the choice of targets for optical follow-ups that results in a flux-limited sample. We demonstrate, however, that this selection effect does not introduce a bias in the observed distribution and cannot explain the absence of black holes in the 2-5 M-circle dot mass range. On the high-mass end, we argue that the rapid decline in the inferred distribution may be the result of the particular evolutionary channel followed by low-mass X-ray binaries. This is consistent with the presence of high-mass black holes in the persistent, high-mass X-ray binary sources. If the paucity of low-mass black holes is caused by a sudden decrease of the supernova explosion energy with increasing progenitor mass, this would have observable implications for ongoing transient surveys that target core-collapse supernovae. Our results also have significant implications for the calculation of event rates from the coalescence of black hole binaries for gravitational wave detectors.

We separate the model populations among two distinct formation pathways: (1) systems undergoing active Roche lobe overflow (RLO) and (2) wind accretion systems with donors in the (super) giant stage, which we find to dominate the HMXB population. We find metallicity to primarily affect the number of systems which move through each formation pathway, rather than the observable parameters of systems which move through each individual pathway. We discuss the most important model parameters affecting the HMXB population at both low and high metallicities. Using these results, we show that (1) the population of ultra-luminous X-ray sources can be consistently described by very bright HMXBs which undergo stable RLO with mild super-Eddington accretion and (2) the HMXB population of the bright starburst galaxy NGC 1569 is likely dominated by one extremely metal-poor starburst cluster.

TI HAT-P-24b: AN INFLATED HOT JUPITER ON A 3.36 DAY PERIOD TRANSITING A HOT, METAL-POOR STAR SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE planetary systems; stars: individual (HAT-P-24); techniques: photometric; techniques: spectroscopic ID EXTRASOLAR PLANETS; LOW-DENSITY; K-DWARF; FIELD; ORBIT; PHOTOMETRY; PRECISION; ALGORITHM; EVOLUTION; EXOPLANET AB We report the discovery of HAT-P-24b, a transiting extrasolar planet orbiting the moderately bright V = 11.818 F8 dwarf star GSC 0774-01441, with a period P = 3.3552464 +/- 0.0000071 days, transit epoch T-c = 2455216.97669 +/- 0.00024 (BJD) 11, and transit duration 3.653 +/- 0.025 hr. The host star has a mass of 1.191 +/- 0.042M(circle dot), radius of 1.317 +/- 0.068R(circle dot), effective temperature 6373 +/- 80 K, and a low metallicity of [Fe/H] = -0.16 +/- 0.08. The planetary companion has a mass of 0.681 +/- 0.031 M-J and radius of 1.243 +/- 0.072 R-J yielding a mean density of 0.439 +/- 0.069 g cm(-3). By repeating our global fits with different parameter sets, we have performed a critical investigation of the fitting techniques used for previous Hungarian-made Automated Telescope planetary discoveries. We find that the system properties are robust against the choice of priors. The effects of fixed versus fitted limb darkening are also examined. HAT-P-24b probably maintains a small eccentricity of e = 0.052(-0.017)(+0.022), which is accepted over the circular orbit model with false alarm probability 5.8%. In the absence of eccentricity pumping, this result suggests that HAT-P-24b experiences less tidal dissipation than Jupiter. Due to relatively rapid stellar rotation, we estimate that HAT-P-24b should exhibit one of the largest known Rossiter-McLaughlin effect amplitudes for an exoplanet (Delta V-RM similar or equal to 95 m s(-1)) and thus a precise measurement of the sky-projected spin-orbit alignment should be possible.

In these observations, the high-velocity (CO)-C-12 emission is resolved into individual outflow systems, which have a typical size scale of a few arcseconds. These molecular outflows are energetic and are interacting with the ambient molecular gas. By inspecting the shock signatures traced by CH3OH, SiO, and HCN emissions, we suggest that abundant star formation activities are distributed over the entire 0.5 pc scale dense molecular envelope. The star formation efficiency over one global free-fall timescale (of the 0.5 pc molecular envelope, similar to 10(5) years) is about a few percent. The total energy feedback of these high-velocity outflows is higher than 10(47) erg, which is comparable to the total kinetic energy in the rotational motion of the dense molecular envelope. From order-of-magnitude estimations, we suggest that the energy injected from the protostellar outflows is capable of balancing the turbulent energy dissipation. No high-velocity bipolar molecular outflow associated with the central OB cluster is directly detected, which can be due to the photoionization. C1 [Liu, Hauyu Baobab; Ho, Paul T.

The maps were constructed from a concerted deep near-infrared imaging survey with the ESO-VLT, ESO-NTT, CAHA 3.5 m telescopes, and 2MASS data. The new maps have a resolution three times higher than the previous extinction map of this cloud by Lombardi et al. and are able to resolve structures down to 2600 AU. We detect 244 significant extinction peaks across the cloud. These peaks have masses between 0.1 and 18.4 M-circle dot, diameters between 1.2 and 5.7 x 10(4) AU (0.06 and 0.28 pc), and mean densities of about 10(4) cm(-3), all in good agreement with previous results. From the analysis of the mean surface density of companions we find a well-defined scale near 1.4 x 10(4) AU below which we detect a significant decrease in structure of the cloud. This scale is smaller than the Jeans length calculated from the mean density of the peaks. The surface density of peaks is not uniform but instead it displays clustering. Extinction peaks in the Pipe Nebula appear to have a spatial distribution similar to the stars in Taurus, suggesting that the spatial distribution of stars evolves directly from the primordial spatial distribution of high-density material.

SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE infrared: stars; stars: individual (delta Cephei); stars: mass-loss; stars: variables: Cepheids ID SPITZER-SPACE-TELESCOPE; MULTIBAND IMAGING PHOTOMETER; GALACTIC-CEPHEIDS; CLASSICAL CEPHEIDS; EXTENDED ENVELOPES; CIRCUMSTELLAR ENVELOPES; LUMINOSITY-RELATION; HORIZONTAL-BRANCH; MAGELLANIC CLOUDS; GLOBULAR-CLUSTER AB We present the discovery of an infrared nebula around the Cepheid prototype delta Cephei and its hot companion HD 213307. Large-scale (similar to 2.1 x 10(4) AU) nebulosity is detected at 5.8, 8.0, 24, and 70 mu m. Surrounding the two stars, the 5.8 and 8.0 mu m emission is largely attributable to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission swept from the interstellar medium by a wind originating from delta Cephei and/or its companion. Stochastically heated small dust grains are the most likely source of the 24 and 70 mu m extended emission. The 70 mu m emission, in particular, resembles a bow shock aligned in the direction of the proper motion of delta Cephei. This discovery supports the hypothesis that delta Cephei may be currently losing mass, at a rate in the range of approximate to 5 x 10(-9) to 6 x 10(-8) M-circle dot yr(-1).

STAR FORMATION IN L673 AND CB188 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE ISM: individual objects (L673, CB188); stars: formation; stars: pre-main sequence; stars: protostars ID YOUNG STELLAR OBJECTS; AURIGA MOLECULAR CLOUD; T-TAURI STARS; SPECTRAL ENERGY-DISTRIBUTIONS; MAIN-SEQUENCE STARS; ARRAY CAMERA IRAC; INTERSTELLAR CLOUDS; FORMING REGIONS; DISK ACCRETION; EVOLUTIONARY SIGNATURES AB L673 and CB188 are two low-mass clouds isolated from large star-forming regions that were observed as part of the Spitzer Legacy Project "From Molecular Clouds to Planet Forming disks" (c2d). We identified and characterized all the young stellar objects (YSOs) of these two regions and modeled their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) to examine whether their physical properties are consistent with values predicted from the theoretical models and with the YSO properties in the c2d survey of larger clouds. Overall, 30 YSO candidates were identified by the c2d photometric criteria, 27 in L673 and 3 in CB188. We confirm the YSO nature of 29 of them and remove a false Class III candidate in L673. We further present the discovery of two new YSO candidates, one Class 0 and another possible Class I candidate in L673, therefore bringing the total number of YSO candidates to 31. Multiple sites of star formation are present within L673, closely resembling other well-studied c2d clouds containing small groups such as B59 and L1251B, whereas CB188 seems to consist of only one isolated globule-like core. We measure a star formation efficiency (SFE) of 4.6%, which resembles the SFE of the larger c2d clouds. From the SED modeling of our YSO sample we obtain envelope masses for Class I and Flat spectrum sources of 0.01-1.0 M-circle dot. The majority of Class II YSOs show disk accretion rates from 3.3 x 10(-10) to 3 x 10(-8) M-circle dot yr(-1) and disk masses that peak at 10(-4) to 10(-3) M-circle dot. Finally, we examined the possibility of thermal fragmentation in L673 as the main star-forming process. We find that the mean density of the regions where significant YSO clustering occurs is of the order of similar to 10(5) cm(-3) using 850 mu m observations and measure a Jeans Length that is greater than the near-neighbor YSO separations by approximately a factor of 3-4. We therefore suggest that other processes, such as turbulence and shock waves, may have had a significant effect on the cloud's filamentary structure and YSO clustering.

For a comparative study, we also include 33 classical T Tauri stars which are located in the same star-forming regions. Spitzer sensitivities allow us to robustly detect the photosphere in the IRAC bands (3.6 to 8 mu m) and the 24 mu m MIPS band. In the 70 mu m MIPS band, we are able to detect dust emission brighter than roughly 40 times the photosphere. These observations represent the most sensitive WTTSs survey in the mid-to far-infrared to date and reveal the frequency of outer disks (r = 3-50 AU) around WTTSs. The 70 mu m photometry for half the c2d WTTSs sample (the on-cloud objects), which were not included in the earlier papers in this series, those of Padgett et al. and Cieza et al., are presented here for the first time. We find a disk frequency of 19% for on-cloud WTTSs, but just 5% for off-cloud WTTSs, similar to the value reported in the earlier works. WTTSs exhibit spectral energy distributions that are quite diverse, spanning the range from optically thick to optically thin disks. Most disks become more tenuous than L(disk)/L(*) = 2 x 10(-3) in 2 Myr and more tenuous than L(disk)/L(*) = 5 x 10(-4) in 4 Myr.

TI HAT-P-15b: A 10.9 DAY EXTRASOLAR PLANET TRANSITING A SOLAR-TYPE STAR SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE planetary systems; stars: individual (HAT-P-15); techniques: photometric; techniques: spectroscopic ID GAS GIANT PLANETS; HOT JUPITERS; RADIAL-VELOCITIES; MASS STARS; K-DWARF; FIELD; PHOTOMETRY; STELLAR; VARIABILITY; SYSTEMS AB We report the discovery of HAT-P-15b, a transiting extrasolar planet in the "period valley," a relatively sparsely populated period regime of the known extrasolar planets. The host star, GSC 2883-01687, is a G5 dwarf with V = 12.16. It has a mass of 1.01 +/- 0.04 M(circle dot), radius of 1.08 +/- 0.04 R(circle dot), effective temperature 5568 +/- 90 K, and metallicity [Fe/H] = +0.22 +/- 0.08. The planetary companion orbits the star with a period P = 10.863502 +/- 0.000027 days, transit epoch T(c) = 2454638.56019 +/- 0.00048 (BJD), and transit duration 0.2285 +/- 0.0015 days. It has a mass of 1.946 +/- 0.066 M(J) and radius of 1.072 +/- 0.043 R(J) yielding a mean density of 1.96 +/- 0.22 g cm(-3). At an age of 6.8(-1.6)(+2.5) Gyr, the planet is H/He-dominated and theoretical models require about 2% (10 M(circle plus)) worth of heavy elements to reproduce its measured radius. With an estimated equilibrium temperature of similar to 820 K during transit, and similar to 1000 K at occultation, HAT-P-15b is a potential candidate to study moderately cool planetary atmospheres by transmission and occultation spectroscopy.

We examine how this arises and quantify the dominant uncertainties. Modeling of dark matter and galaxy inspiral/merger times contribute factor of similar to 2 uncertainties. Different estimates of the halo-halo merger rate, the subhalo "destruction" rate, and the halo merger rate with some dynamical friction time delay for galaxy-galaxy mergers, agree to within this factor of similar to 2, provided proper care is taken to define mergers consistently. There are some caveats: if halo/subhalo masses are not appropriately defined the major-merger rate can be dramatically suppressed, and in models with "orphan" galaxies and under-resolved subhalos the merger timescale can be severely overestimated. The dominant differences in galaxy-galaxy merger rates between models owe to the treatment of the baryonic physics. Cosmological hydrodynamic simulations without strong feedback and some older semi-analytic models (SAMs), with known discrepancies in mass functions, can be biased by large factors (similar to 5) in predicted merger rates. However, provided that models yield a reasonable match to the total galaxy mass function, the differences in properties of central galaxies are sufficiently small to alone contribute small (factor of similar to 1.5) additional systematics to merger rate predictions. But variations in the baryonic physics of satellite galaxies in models can also have a dramatic effect on merger rates. The well-known problem of satellite "over-quenching" in most current SAMs-whereby SAM satellite populations are too efficiently stripped of their gas-could lead to order-of-magnitude under-estimates of merger rates for low-mass, gas-rich galaxies. Models in which the masses of satellites are fixed by observations (or SAMs adjusted to resolve this "over-quenching") tend to predict higher merger rates, but with factor of similar to 2 uncertainties stemming from the uncertainty in those observations. The choice of mass used to define "major" and "minor" mergers also matters: stellar-stellar major mergers can be more or less abundant than halo-halo major mergers by an order of magnitude. At low masses, most true major mergers (mass ratio defined in terms of their baryonic or dynamical mass) will appear to be minor mergers in their stellar mass ratio-observations and models using just stellar criteria could underestimate major-merger rates by factors of similar to 3-5. We discuss the uncertainties in relating any merger rate to spheroid formation (in observations or theory): in order to achieve better than factor of similar to 3 accuracy, it is necessary to account for the distribution of merger orbital parameters, gas fractions, and the full efficiency of merger-induced effects as a function of mass ratio.

CONSTRAINING ASYMPTOTIC GIANT BRANCH EVOLUTION WITH OLD METAL-POOR GALAXIES SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE stars: general ID LARGE-MAGELLANIC-CLOUD; DWARF IRREGULAR GALAXIES; COLOR-MAGNITUDE DIAGRAMS; STAR-FORMATION HISTORY; LMC CLUSTER NGC-1846; SPITZER-IRAC CENSUS; LOCAL GROUP DWARFS; MASS-LOSS RATES; TP-AGB MODELS; POPULATION SYNTHESIS AB In an attempt to constrain evolutionary models of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase at the limit of low masses and low metallicities, we have examined the luminosity functions and number ratios between AGB and red giant branch (RGB) stars from a sample of resolved galaxies from the ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury. This database provides Hubble Space Telescope optical photometry together with maps of completeness, photometric errors, and star formation histories for dozens of galaxies within 4 Mpc. We select 12 galaxies characterized by predominantly metal-poor populations as indicated by a very steep and blue RGB, and which do not present any indication of recent star formation in their color-magnitude diagrams. Thousands of AGB stars brighter than the tip of the RGB (TRGB) are present in the sample (between 60 and 400 per galaxy), hence, the Poisson noise has little impact in our measurements of the AGB/RGB ratio. We model the photometric data with a few sets of thermally pulsing AGB (TP-AGB) evolutionary models with different prescriptions for the mass loss. This technique allows us to set stringent constraints on the TP-AGB models of low-mass, metal-poor stars (with M < 1.5 M(circle dot), [Fe/H] less than or similar to -1.0). Indeed, those which satisfactorily reproduce the observed AGB/RGB ratios have TP-AGB lifetimes between 1.2 and 1.8 Myr, and finish their nuclear burning lives with masses between 0.51 and 0.55 M(circle dot). This is also in good agreement with recent observations of white dwarf masses in the M4 old globular cluster. These constraints can be added to those already derived from Magellanic Cloud star clusters as important mileposts in the arduous process of calibrating AGB evolutionary models.

The gamma-ray emission associated with these bubbles has a significantly harder spectrum (dN/dE similar to E-2) than the inverse Compton emission from electrons in the Galactic disk, or the gamma rays produced by the decay of pions from proton-interstellar medium collisions. There is no significant spatial variation in the spectrum or gamma-ray intensity within the bubbles, or between the north and south bubbles. The bubbles are spatially correlated with the hard-spectrum microwave excess known as the WMAP haze; the edges of the bubbles also line up with features in the ROSAT X-ray maps at 1.5-2 keV. We argue that these Galactic gamma-ray bubbles were most likely created by some large episode of energy injection in the GC, such as past accretion events onto the central massive black hole, or a nuclear starburst in the last similar to 10 Myr. Dark matter annihilation/decay seems unlikely to generate all the features of the bubbles and the associated signals in WMAP and ROSAT; the bubbles must be understood in order to use measurements of the diffuse gamma-ray emission in the inner Galaxy as a probe of dark matter physics. Study of the origin and evolution of the bubbles also has the potential to improve our understanding of recent energetic events in the inner Galaxy and the high-latitude cosmic ray population.

Kepler photometry and Keck-HIRES radial velocities yield the radius and mass of the planet around this F8IV subgiant host star. The planet has a radius R(P) = 1.419 R(J) and a mass M(P) = 0.60 M(J), yielding a density of 0.26 g cm(-3), one of the lowest planetary densities known. The orbital period is P = 3.523 days and the orbital semimajor axis is 0.0483(-0.0012)(+0.0006) AU. The star has a large rotational v sin i of 10.5 +/- 0.7 kms(-1) and is relatively faint (V approximate to 13.89 mag); both properties are deleterious to precise Doppler measurements. The velocities are indeed noisy, with scatter of 30 ms(-1), but exhibit a period and phase that are consistent with those implied by transit photometry. We securely detect the R-M effect, confirming the planet's existence and establishing its orbit as prograde. We measure an inclination between the projected planetary orbital axis and the projected stellar rotation axis of lambda = -26 degrees.4 +/- 10 degrees.1, indicating a significant inclination of the planetary orbit. R-M measurements of a large sample of transiting planets from Kepler will provide a statistically robust measure of the true distribution of spin-orbit orientations for hot Jupiters around F and early G stars.

TI THREE-DIMENSIONAL MORPHOLOGY OF A CORONAL PROMINENCE CAVITY SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE Sun: corona; Sun: coronal mass ejections (CMEs); Sun: filaments, prominences; Sun: magnetic topology ID TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE; WHOLE SUN MONTH; MULTIWAVELENGTH OBSERVATIONS; DIAGNOSTIC SPECTROMETER; MASS EJECTIONS; TEMPERATURES; CALIBRATION; DENSITIES; TRACE; TOMOGRAPHY AB We present a three-dimensional density model of coronal prominence cavities, and a morphological fit that has been tightly constrained by a uniquely well-observed cavity. Observations were obtained as part of an International Heliophysical Year campaign by instruments from a variety of space-and ground-based observatories, spanning wavelengths from radio to soft X-ray to integrated white light. From these data it is clear that the prominence cavity is the limb manifestation of a longitudinally extended polar-crown filament channel, and that the cavity is a region of low density relative to the surrounding corona. As a first step toward quantifying density and temperature from campaign spectroscopic data, we establish the three-dimensional morphology of the cavity. This is critical for taking line-of-sight projection effects into account, since cavities are not localized in the plane of the sky and the corona is optically thin. We have augmented a global coronal streamer model to include a tunnel-like cavity with elliptical cross-section and a Gaussian variation of height along the tunnel length. We have developed a semi-automated routine that fits ellipses to cross-sections of the cavity as it rotates past the solar limb, and have applied it to Extreme Ultraviolet Imager observations from the two Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory spacecraft. This defines the morphological parameters of our model, from which we reproduce forward-modeled cavity observables. We find that cavity morphology and orientation, in combination with the viewpoints of the observing spacecraft, explain the observed variation in cavity visibility for the east versus west limbs.

SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE galaxies: formation; galaxies: starburst; infrared: galaxies; quasars: general; submillimeter: galaxies; X-rays: galaxies ID STAR-FORMING GALAXIES; HUBBLE-DEEP-FIELD; ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI; ULTRALUMINOUS INFRARED GALAXIES; SUPERMASSIVE BLACK-HOLES; SPITZER-SPACE-TELESCOPE; HIGH-REDSHIFT GALAXIES; DEGREE EXTRAGALACTIC SURVEY; RAY SPECTRAL PROPERTIES; LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURE AB We present results from Submillimeter Array (SMA) 860 mu m subarcsecond astrometry and multiwavelength observations of the brightest millimeter (S-1.1mm = 8.4 mJy) source, SSA22-AzTEC1, found near the core of the SSA22 protocluster that is traced by Ly alpha-emitting galaxies at z = 3.09. We identify a 860 mu m counterpart with a flux density of S-860 mu m = 12.2 +/- 2.3 mJy and absolute positional accuracy that is better than 0 ''.3. At the SMA position, we find radio-to-mid-infrared counterparts, whilst no object is found in Subaru optical and near-infrared deep images at wavelengths <= 1 mu m (J > 25.4 in AB, 2 sigma). The photometric redshift estimate, using flux densities at >= 24 mu m, indicates z(phot) = 3.19(-0.35)(+0.26) , consistent with the protocluster redshift. We then model the near-to-mid-infrared spectral energy distribution (SED) of SSA22-AzTEC1, and find that the SED modeling requires a large extinction (A(V) approximate to 3.4 mag) of starlight from a stellar component with M-star similar to 10(10.9) M-circle dot, assuming z = 3.1. Additionally, we find a significant X-ray counterpart with a very hard spectrum (Gamma(eff) = -0.34(-0.61)(+0.57)), strongly suggesting that SSA22-AzTEC1 harbors a luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs; L-X approximate to 3 x 10(44) erg s(-1)) behind a large hydrogen column (N-H similar to 10(24) cm(-2)). The AGN, however, is responsible for only similar to 10% of the bolometric luminosity of the host galaxy, and therefore the star formation activity likely dominates the submillimeter emission. It is possible that SSA22-AzTEC1 is the first example of a protoquasar growing at the bottom of the gravitational potential underlying the SSA22 protocluster.

Above the K-shell threshold, the present results are in good agreement with the independent-particle results of Reilman & Manson. Below threshold, we also compute the strong 1s -> np absorption resonances with the inclusion of important spectator Auger broadening effects. For the lowest 1s -> 2p, 3p resonances, comparisons to available CII, CIII, and C IV experimental results show good agreement in general for the resonance strengths and positions. Our results also provide detailed information on the C I K-shell photoabsorption cross section including the strong resonance features, since very limited laboratory experimental data exist. The resultant R-matrix cross sections are then used to model the Chandra X-ray absorption spectrum of the blazar Mkn 421. C1 [Hasoglu, M. F.; Abdel-Naby, Sh. A.; Gorczyca, T.

Column densities are measured from low-ionization absorption lines using an Apparent Optical Depth Method on the Keck/ESI spectra. We find that the dust depletion patterns resemble that of cold diffuse clouds in the Milky Way (MW). The values, [Fe/Zn] approximate to -1.5 and [Si/Zn]< -0.67, are among the highest dust depletion measured for quasar absorption line systems. In another 2175 angstrom absorber at z = 1.64 toward the quasar SDSS J160457.50+220300.5, Noterdaeme et al. reported a similar dust depletion measurement ([Fe/Zn] = -1.47 and [Si/Zn] = -1.07) and detected C i and CO absorption lines on its VLT/UVES spectrum. We conclude that heavy dust depletion (i. e., a characteristic of cold dense clouds in MW) is required to produce a pronounced 2175 angstrom extinction bump.

TI COMPARISONS OF THE INTERSTELLAR MAGNETIC FIELD DIRECTIONS OBTAINED FROM THE IBEX RIBBON AND INTERSTELLAR POLARIZATIONS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE dust, extinction; ISM: bubbles; ISM: general; ISM: magnetic fields; Sun: heliosphere ID BOUNDARY EXPLORER; OUTER HELIOSPHERE; GALACTIC ENVIRONMENT; LOCAL BUBBLE; ENA FLUX; HELIOSHEATH; PARAMETERS; MODELS; STARS; GAS AB Variations in the spatial configuration of the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the Sun can be constrained by comparing the ISMF direction at the heliosphere found from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) spacecraft observations of a "Ribbon" of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs), with the ISMF direction derived from optical polarization data for stars within similar to 40 pc. Using interstellar polarization observations toward similar to 30 nearby stars within similar to 90 degrees of the heliosphere nose, we find that the best fits to the polarization position angles are obtained for a magnetic pole directed toward ecliptic coordinates of lambda, beta similar to 263 degrees, 37 degrees (or galactic coordinates of l, b similar to 38 degrees, 23 degrees), with uncertainties of +/- 35 degrees based on the broad minimum of the best fits and the range of data quality. This magnetic pole is 33 degrees from the magnetic pole that is defined by the center of the arc of the ENA Ribbon. The IBEX ENA ribbon is seen in sight lines that are perpendicular to the ISMF as it drapes over the heliosphere. The similarity of the polarization and Ribbon directions for the local ISMF suggests that the local field is coherent over scale sizes of tens of parsecs. The ISMF vector direction is nearly perpendicular to the flow of local interstellar material (ISM) through the local standard of rest, supporting a possible local ISM origin related to an evolved expanding magnetized shell. The local ISMF direction is found to have a curious geometry with respect to the cosmic microwave background dipole moment.

In this paper, we present ACT's first results. Data have been analyzed using a maximum-likelihood map-making method which uses B-splines to model and remove the atmospheric signal. It has been used to make high-precision beam maps from which we determine the experiment's window functions. This beam information directly impacts all subsequent analyses of the data. We also used the method to map a sample of galaxy clusters via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect and show five clusters previously detected with X-ray or SZ observations. We provide integrated Compton-y measurements for each cluster. Of particular interest is our detection of the z = 0.44 component of A3128 and our current non-detection of the low-redshift part, providing strong evidence that the further cluster is more massive as suggested by X-ray measurements. This is a compelling example of the redshift-independent mass selection of the SZ effect. C1 [Hincks, A. D.; Appel, J. W.; Das, S.; Dunkley, J.; Essinger-Hileman, T.; Fisher, R. P.; Fowler, J.

We compare the observed sedimentary facies distribution with the calculated one-dimensional (1D) Eocene to Quaternary sediment-accumulation rates in the Medina wedge-top basin and with a three-dimensional (3D) sedimentary budget based on the interpretation of similar to 1800 km of industry-style seismic reflection profiles and borehole data. Age constraints are derived from a new chronostratigraphic framework based on extensive fossil palynological assemblages. The sedimentological data from the Medina Basin reveal rapid accumulation of fluvial and lacustrine sediments at rates of up to similar to 500 m my-1 during the Miocene. Provenance data based on gravel petrography and paleocurrents reveal that these Miocene fluvial systems were sourced from Upper Cretaceous and Paleocene sedimentary units exposed to the west in the Eastern Cordillera. Peak sediment-accumulation rates in the upper Carbonera Formation and the Guayabo Group occur during episodes of coarse-grained facies progradation in the early and late Miocene proximal foredeep. We interpret this positive correlation between sediment accumulation and gravel deposition as the direct consequence of thrust activity along the Servita-Lengupa faults. This contrasts with one class of models relating gravel progradation in more distal portions of foreland basin systems to episodes of tectonic quiescence.

It possesses anti-inflammatory properties and the aqueous extracts of its leaves are indicated for the treatment of diseases of the respiratory tract. This study aimed at evaluating the antiproliferative and genotoxic effect of Mikania glomerata leaf infusions on the cell cycle of onion. The material used was collected in the native environment from Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. Aqueous extracts through infusions were prepared in two concentrations: 4g/L (usual concentration) and I 6g/L (4x more concentrated) of each of the populations. Two groups of four onion bulbs for each plant population were used plus a control group. The rootlets were fixed in ethanol-acetic acid (3:1), conserved in ethanol 70% and slides were prepared using the squashing technique colored with orcein 2%. The cells were observed and analyzed during cell cycle. Per group of bulbs, 2000 cells were analyzed, and the mean values of the cell number of each of the phases of the cell cycle were calculated, determining the mitotic index (MI). Statistic analyses of the data were carried out by the x(2) (p=0.05) test. We conclude that M. glomerata presents both antiproliferative and genotoxic activity.

TI Comparison of decay classification, knife test, and two penetrometers for estimating wood density of coarse woody debris SO CANADIAN JOURNAL OF FOREST RESEARCH-REVUE CANADIENNE DE RECHERCHE FORESTIERE LA English DT Article ID BRAZILIAN AMAZON; LOGGED FORESTS; FINLAND; CARBON AB Inventories of the necromass of coarse woody debris typically involve measurements of density (e.g., kilograms per cubic metre) on a sample of logs, with densities of other logs estimated based on assignment to decay classes. Here, we compare two new devices for assessing density of woody debris, a spring penetrometer and a dynamic penetrometer, with the traditional decay classification and knife test in terms of the strength of the relationship with measured density and the consistency in measurements by four different people. Our evaluation was conducted in a diverse tropical forest and involved only a brief training period in each method. Classifications or scores from all four methods were only weakly correlated with measured density, and consistency among technicians in the measurement-density relationship was highest for the dynamic penetrometer. Therefore, we conclude that when training time is limited and the sampled logs can reasonably be assumed to be representative of all of the logs (e.g., an inventory of one site at one time), it is best to simply assume that the average density of the sampled logs is representative of nonsampled logs. For inventories involving multiple people, limited training, and cases where the sample average is likely to be unrepresentative, we recommend the dynamic penetrometer.

TI Ubiquity of the Pathogenic Chytrid Fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, in Anuran Communities in Panama SO ECOHEALTH LA English DT Article DE amphibian; pathogen; wildlife disease; chytrid; epizootic ID AMPHIBIAN POPULATION DECLINES; EMERGING INFECTIOUS-DISEASE; SKIN PEPTIDE DEFENSES; TIME TAQMAN PCR; RANA-CATESBEIANA; CENTRAL-AMERICA; CLIMATE-CHANGE; LATIN-AMERICA; RAIN-FOREST; CHYTRIDIOMYCOSIS AB The pathogenic chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, has been implicated as the main driver of many enigmatic amphibian declines in neotropical sites at high elevation. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis is thought to be a waterborne pathogen limited by temperature, and the extent to which it persists and causes disease in amphibians at lower elevations in the neotropics is not known. It also is unclear by what mechanism(s) B. dendrobatidis has emerged as a pathogenic organism. To test whether B. dendrobatidis is limited by elevation in Panama, we sought to determine the prevalence and intensity of B. dendrobatidis in relation to anuran abundance and diversity using quantitative PCR (qPCR) analyses. Sites were situated at varying elevations, from 45 to 1215 m, and were at varying stages of epizootic amphibian decline, including pre-epizootic, mid-epizootic, 2 years post-epizootic, and 10 years post-epizootic. Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis was found in all sites regardless of elevation or stage of epizootic decline. Levels of prevalence and infection intensity were comparable across all sites except at the mid-epizootic site, where both prevalence and intensity were significantly higher than at other sites. Symptoms of chytridiomycosis and corresponding declines in amphibian populations were variably seen at all elevations along a post-epizootic gradient. Because it is inherently difficult to prove a negative proposition, it can neither be proven that B. dendrobatidis is truly not present where it is not detected nor proven that it is only recently arrived where it is detected. Thus, there will always be doubts about whether B. dendrobatidis is enzootic or invasive. In any case, our results, coupled with current knowledge, suggest most clearly that the disease, chytridiomycosis, may be novel and invasive, and that the pathogen, B. dendrobatidis either is, or is becoming, globally ubiquitous.

We use a survivorship database for captive mammals to show that, although survivorship scale (i.e., longevity) varies widely across mammals, survivorship shape (i.e., the age-specific pattern of mortality once survivorship has been scaled to maximum longevity) varies little. Consequently, reasonable estimates of population growth rate can be achieved for diverse taxa using a model of survivorship shape along with an estimate of longevity. In addition, we find that the parameters of survivorship shape are related to taxonomic group, a fact that may be used to further improve estimates of survivorship when full life history data are unavailable. Finally, we compare survivorship shape in captive and wild populations of the same species and find higher adult survivorship in captive populations but no corresponding increase in juvenile survivorship. These differences likely reflect a convolution of true differences in captive vs. wild survivorship and the difficulty of observing juvenile mortality in field studies.

Their prevalence suggests some advantage to their enhanced flammability, but researchers have had difficulty tying pyrogenicity to individual-level advantages. Based on our review, we propose that enhanced flammability in fire-prone ecosystems should protect the belowground organs and nearby propagules of certain individual plants during fires. We base this hypothesis on five points: (1) organs and propagules by which many fire-adapted plants survive fires are vulnerable to elevated soil temperatures during fires; (2) the degree to which burning plant fuels heat the soil depends mainly on residence times of fires and on fuel location relative to the soil; (3) fires and fire effects are locally heterogeneous, meaning that individual plants can affect local soil heating via their fuels; (4) how a plant burns can thus affect its fitness; and (5) in many cases, natural selection in fire-prone habitats should therefore favor plants that burn rapidly and retain fuels off the ground. We predict an advantage of enhanced flammability for plants whose fuels influence local fire characteristics and whose regenerative tissues or propagules are affected by local variation in fires. Our "pyrogenicity as protection'' hypothesis has the potential to apply to a range of life histories. We discuss implications for ecological and evolutionary theory and suggest considerations for testing the hypothesis.

TI Functional traits and the growth-mortality trade-off in tropical trees SO ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Barro Colorado Island; Panama; growth rates; leaf mass per area; maximum height; maximum size; mortality rates; seed mass; seed size; wood density ID PLANT TRAITS; INTERSPECIFIC VARIATION; NEOTROPICAL FORESTS; ECONOMICS SPECTRUM; REGENERATION NICHE; SHADE TOLERANCE; GOOD PREDICTORS; LEAF; COMMUNITY; DIVERSITY AB A trade-off between growth and mortality rates characterizes tree species in closed canopy forests. This trade-off is maintained by inherent differences among species and spatial variation in light availability caused by canopy-opening disturbances. We evaluated conditions under which the trade-off is expressed and relationships with four key functional traits for 103 tree species from Barro Colorado Island, Panama. The trade-off is strongest for saplings for growth rates of the fastest growing individuals and mortality rates of the slowest growing individuals (r(2) = 0.69), intermediate for saplings for average growth rates and overall mortality rates (r(2) = 0.46), and much weaker for large trees (r(2) <= 0.10). This parallels likely levels of spatial variation in light availability, which is greatest for fast-vs. slow-growing saplings and least for large trees with foliage in the forest canopy. Inherent attributes of species contributing to the trade-off include abilities to disperse, acquire resources, grow rapidly, and tolerate shade and other stresses. There is growing interest in the possibility that functional traits might provide insight into such ecological differences and a growing consensus that seed mass (SM), leaf mass per area (LMA), wood density (WD), and maximum height (H-max) are key traits among forest trees. Seed mass, LMA, WD, and H-max are predicted to be small for light-demanding species with rapid growth and mortality and large for shade-tolerant species with slow growth and mortality. Six of these trait-demographic rate predictions were realized for saplings; however, with the exception of WD, the relationships were weak (r(2) < 0.1 for three and r(2) < 0.2 for five of the six remaining relationships). The four traits together explained 43-44% of interspecific variation in species positions on the growth-mortality trade-off; however, WD alone accounted for >80% of the explained variation and, after WD was included, LMA and H-max made insignificant contributions. Virtually the full range of values of SM, LMA, and H-max occurred at all positions on the growth-mortality trade-off. Although WD provides a promising start, a successful trait-based ecology of tropical forest trees will require consideration of additional traits.

However, these insights are sensitive to the spatial scale of analysis. Here, we use spatially explicit, neighbourhood models of tree growth and survival for 19 tree species, a highly resolved molecular phylogeny and information on eight functional traits to quantify the relative efficacy of functional similarity and shared ancestry in describing the effects of spatial interactions between tree species on demographic rates. We also assess the congruence of these results with observed phylogenetic and functional structure in the neighbourhoods of live and dead trees. We found strong support for models in which the effects of spatial neighbourhood interactions on tree growth and survival were scaled to species-specific mean functional trait values (e.g., wood specific gravity, leaf succulence and maximum height) but not to phylogenetic distance. The weak phylogenetic signal in functional trait data allowed us to independently interpret the static neighbourhood functional and phylogenetic patterns. We observed greater functional trait similarity in the neighbourhoods of live trees relative to those of dead trees suggesting that environmental filtering is the major force structuring this tree community at this scale while competitive interactions play a lesser role.

Inhibitory activities were detected in the ethyl acetate : methanol (1:1) extracts of several Lyngbya spp., and extracts of Lyngbya majuscula contained the strongest QS inhibitory activities. Extracts of L. majuscula from the Indian River Lagoon, FL, USA, were further purified by bioassay-guided fractionation. The antibiotic malyngolide (MAL) was identified as a QS inhibitor. Activity of MAL was investigated using N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) reporters based on the LasR receptor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MAL at concentrations ranging from 3.57 mu M to 57 mu M (EC(50) = 12.2 +/- 1.6 mu M) inhibited responses of the LasR reporters without affecting bacterial growth. MAL inhibited (EC(50) = 10.6 +/- 1.8 mu M) Las QS-dependent production of elastase by P. aeruginosa PAO1. We propose that this QS inhibitor plays a role in controlling interactions of heterotrophic bacteria associated with the cyanobacterium L. majuscula.

TI Proximity-dependent Response to Variably Complex Mating Signals in Tungara Frogs (Physalaemus pustulosus) SO ETHOLOGY LA English DT Article ID MATE CHOICE; VOCAL COMMUNICATION; ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATION; ANIMAL VOCALIZATION; ADVERTISEMENT CALLS; SOUND-TRANSMISSION; BARKING TREEFROGS; FEMALE PREFERENCE; RECEIVER DISTANCE; SEXUAL SELECTION AB The plasticity of animal behavior allows individuals to maximize fitness in a wide range of contexts. Both production of and preference for mating signals are context-dependent according to internal factors such as hormonal state, and external factors such as predation risk. In many species, male-to-female proximity also defines an important context for mating communication. Males often possess short-distance courtship signals, and females often exhibit distance-related variation in signal response. Such variation in response may occur when a signal's relevance changes with male-to-female distance, but it may also result from perceptual constraints that are unrelated to fitness. Tungara frogs produce variably complex advertisement calls, and sexual selection theory predicts that females should prefer calls of greater complexity. Preference tests, however, have not demonstrated consistent trends for preference between calls of variable complexity. We tested whether proximity to males influences female response to variable signal complexity and found that both preference and memory for signal complexity are proximity-dependent.

TI Plant-soil associations in a lower montane tropical forest: physiological acclimation and herbivore-mediated responses to nitrogen addition SO FUNCTIONAL ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Arecaceae; fertilization; growth trade-offs; habitat association; Panama; seedling transplant experiment ID HABITAT SPECIALIZATION; RESOURCE AVAILABILITY; NUTRIENT LIMITATION; MINERAL-NUTRITION; AMAZONIAN FORESTS; RAIN-FOREST; WILD PLANTS; GROWTH; PANAMA; PHOSPHORUS AB P>1. Soil nutrients influence plant productivity and community composition in tropical forests. In lower montane tropical forests in western Panama, the distribution of understory palm species over a scale of 1-20 km correlates with differences in soil nitrogen (N). We hypothesized that soil N determines seedling performance in the forest understory, and, may therefore influence species distributions along the soil N gradient. 2. We explored the potential for N availability to generate species-habitat associations through species-specific differences in biomass allocation, photosynthetic capacity, N use-efficiency, and susceptibility to herbivory. Seedlings of nine palm species from two sub-families and four habitat types were transplanted into N-addition and control plots at a low N site. Growth, mortality, biomass allocation, photosynthesis, foliar N content and herbivory were measured over 21 months. 3. Foliar N increased for all species (15-68%) following N addition. Most species showed strong (20-200%) increases in photosynthetic rates with N addition except two species with marginal decreases in photosynthetic rates (5-15%). However, shifts in physiological traits did not increase relative growth rate or change in biomass allocation for any species or N treatment combination. Rather, increased leaf quality contributed to greater levels of herbivory in species associated with soils of intermediate and high inorganic N availability. 4. Thus, potential increases in overall growth with N addition were masked by herbivory, resulting in no apparent growth response with increased N. We suggest that for understory palms, and potentially other montane forest plants, distribution patterns are driven by a combination of physiological and herbivore-mediated responses to soil nutrient availability.

Numts have been used to study differences in mutation rates between the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, but have also been implicated as troublesome for phylogenetic studies and DNA-based species identification (i.e., DNA barcoding). In this study, a suspected numt discovered during a study of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) diversity in North American birds was targeted and sequenced from tyrant flycatchers ( family: Tyrannidae). In total, the numt was found in five taxa representing two genera. Substitution rates were compared between COI and numt sequences. None of the numt sequences harboured stop codons nor frameshift mutations, but phylogenetic analysis revealed they had accumulated more amino acid substitutions than the mitochondrial COI sequences. Mitochondrial COI appeared to be preferentially amplified in most cases, but methods for numt detection are discussed for cases like this where sequences lack obvious features for identification. Because of its persistence across a broad taxonomic lineage, this numt could form a valuable model system for studying evolution in numts. The full size of the numt and its location within the nuclear genome are yet to be determined. C1 [Kerr, Kevin C. R.] Univ Guelph, Dept Integrat Biol, Guelph, ON N1G 2W1, Canada.

Following a period of late Tertiary drainage from the Red Sea Hills south through Wadi Qena and west across the Tushka region, the Nile River as we now know it established its connections with Central Africa and the Mediterranean in the middle Pleistocene (oxygen isotope stage, OIS 7 to OIS 5). SRTM topography reveals a lake level at similar to 247 m that is coincident with the elevation of middle Pleistocene fish fossils 400 km west of the Nile, and with the termination of shallow runoff channels in northern Sudan that were active during the middle Pleistocene and Holocene pluvial periods. An additional lake level at similar to 190 m is based on the current elevation at Wadi Tushka, and is consistent with Paleolithic sites at Bir Kiseiba followed by Neolithic sites at lower topographic levels. Overflow of the Nile through Wadi Tushka during the wetter north African climate of the middle Pleistocene, coupled with limited local rainfall, was the likely source of water for these lakes.

TI THEMIS-VIS observations of clouds in the martian mesosphere: Altitudes, wind speeds, and decameter-scale morphology SO ICARUS LA English DT Article DE Mars, Atmosphere; Mars, Climate; Atmospheres, Chemistry; Atmospheres, Dynamics; Atmospheres, Structure ID EMISSION IMAGING-SYSTEM; CO2 ICE CLOUDS; ATMOSPHERIC OBSERVATIONS; INFRARED OBSERVATIONS; NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS; VERTICAL STRUCTURE; MIDDLE ATMOSPHERE; MARS; AEROSOL; MODELS AB We present measurements of the altitude and eastward velocity component of mesospheric clouds in 35 imaging sequences acquired by the Mars Odyssey (ODY) spacecraft's Thermal Emission Imaging System visible imaging subsystem (THEMIS-VIS). We measure altitude by using the parallax drift of high-altitude features, and the velocity by exploiting the time delay in the THEMIS-VIS imaging sequence. We observe two distinct classes of mesospheric clouds: equatorial mesospheric clouds observed between 0 degrees and 180 degrees L-s: and northern mid-latitude clouds observed only in twilight in the 200-300 degrees L-s period. The equatorial mesospheric clouds are quite rare in the THEMIS-VIS data set. We have detected them in only five imaging sequences, out of a total of 2048 multi-band equatorial imaging sequences. All five fall between 20 degrees south and 0 degrees latitude, and between 260 degrees and 295 degrees east longitude. The mid-latitude mesospheric clouds are apparently much more common; for these we find 30 examples out of 210 northern winter mid-latitude twilight imaging sequences. The observed mid-latitude clouds are found, with only one exception, in the Acidalia region, but this is quite likely an artifact of the pattern of THEMIS-VIS image targeting. Comparing our THEMIS-VIS images with daily global maps generated from Mars Orbiter Camera Wide Angle (MOC-WA) images, we find some evidence that some mid-latitude mesospheric cloud features correspond to cloud features commonly observed by MOC-WA. Comparing the velocity of our mesospheric clouds with a GCM, we find good agreement for the northern mid-latitude class, but also find that the GCM fails to match the strong easterly winds measured for the equatorial clouds. Applying a simple radiative transfer model to some of the equatorial mesospheric clouds, we find good model fits in two different imaging sequences. By using the observed radiance contrast between cloud and cloud-free regions at multiple visible-band wavelengths, these fits simultaneously constrain the optical depths and particles sizes of the clouds. The particle sizes are constrained primarily by the relative contrasts at the available wavelengths, and are found to be quite different in the two imaging sequences: r(eff) = 0.1 mu m and r(eff) = 1.5 mu m. The optical depths (constrained by the absolute contrasts) are substantial: 0.22 and 0.5, respectively. These optical depths imply a mass density that greatly exceeds the saturated mass density of water vapor at mesospheric temperatures, and so the aerosol particles are probably composed mainly of CO2 ice. Our simple radiative transfer model is not applicable to twilight, when the mid-latitude mesospheric clouds were observed, and so we leave the properties of these clouds as a question for further work.

Tiger range countries and their partners met at the 1st Asian Ministerial Conference on Tiger Conservation in January 2010 to mandate the creation of the Global Tiger Recovery Program to double the number of tigers by 2022. Only 3200-3600 wild adult tigers remain, approximately half of the population estimated a decade ago. Tigers now live in only 13 countries, all of which are experiencing severe environmental challenges and degradation from the effects of human population growth, brisk economic expansion, rapid urbanization, massive infrastructure development and climate change. The overarching challenge of tiger conservation, and the conservation of biodiversity generally, is that there is insufficient demand for the survival of wild tigers living in natural landscapes. This allows the criminal activities of poaching wild tigers and their prey and trafficking in tiger derivatives to flourish and tiger landscapes to be diminished. The Global Tiger Recovery Program will support scaling up of practices already proven effective in one or more tiger range countries that need wider policy support, usually resources, and new transnational actions that enhance the effectiveness of individual country actions. The program is built on robust National Tiger Recovery Priorities that are grouped into themes: (i) strengthening policies that protect tigers; (ii) protecting tiger conservation landscapes; (iii) scientific management and monitoring; (iv) engaging communities; (v) cooperative management of international tiger landscapes; (vi) eliminating transnational illegal wildlife trade; (vii) persuading people to stop consuming tiger; (viii) enhancing professional capacity of policy-makers and practitioners; and (ix) developing sustainable, long-term financing mechanisms for tiger and biodiversity conservation.

These aceramic deposits date to between 7500 and 3800 cal BP and have been interpreted as locations where foragers, living elsewhere seasonally on the coastal plain, harvested shellfish and other estuarine resources. Based on an accumulation of paleo-ecological data from elsewhere in the lowland Neotropics of Mesoamerica, southern Central America and South America we pose and provide a first test of an alternative subsistence model: that the Archaic Period populations in this area were slash and burn farmers. Burned maize phytoliths first appear in these sedimentary records at 6500 cal BP in association with macroscopic charcoal and forest disturbance plant taxa. Periodic burning and forest disturbance, consistent with farming activities, are also evident in the macroscopic charcoal record between 6500 and 4700 cal BP. Pollen, phytolith and charcoal records all point to sustained burning, forest disturbance and the cultivation of maize between 4700 and 3800 cal BP. These data suggest that people were slash and burn farming during the Archaic Period prior to the adoption of pottery and the proliferation of Early Formative Period villages and full-fledged agriculture based on near or total reliance on crop plants after similar to 3800 cal BP.

Mutualism evolves most readily between members of different kingdoms, which pool complementary abilities for mutual benefit: some of these mutualisms represent major evolutionary innovations. Mutualism cannot persist if cheating annihilates its benefits. In long-term mutualisms, symbioses, at least one party associates with the other nearly all its life. Usually, a larger host harbours smaller symbionts. Cheating is restrained by vertical transmission, as in Buchnera; partner fidelity, as among bull-thorn acacias and protective ants; test-based choice of symbionts, as bobtail squid choose bioluminescent bacteria; or sanctioning nonperforming symbionts, as legumes punish nonperforming nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Mutualisms involving brief exchanges, as among plants and seed-dispersers, however, persist despite abundant cheating. Both symbioses and brief-exchange mutualisms have transformed whole ecosystems. These mutualisms may be steps towards ecosystems which, like Adam Smith's ideal economy, serve their members' common good. C1 [Leigh, E. G., Jr.] Smithsonian Trop Res Inst, Balboa, Panama.

TI Evaluating food availability and nest predation risk as sources of bias in aural bird surveys SO JOURNAL OF FIELD ORNITHOLOGY LA English DT Article DE bird survey; detection bias; food limitation; nest predation; point count ID BLACK-CAPPED CHICKADEES; WARBLERS PHYLLOSCOPUS-TROCHILUS; SONG RATE; DENSITY; QUALITY; HABITAT; SELECTION; FOREST; RATES; FIRE AB The use of aural surveys to estimate population parameters is widespread in avian studies. Despite efforts to increase the efficacy of this method, the potential for ecological context to bias population estimates remains largely unexplored. For example, food availability and nest predation risk can influence singing activity independent of density and, therefore, may bias aural estimates where these ecological factors vary systematically among habitats or other categories of ecological interest. We used a natural fire event in a mixed-conifer forest that experienced variation in fire severity (low, intermediate, and high) to determine if aural surveys produce accurate density estimates of Dark-eyed Juncos (Junco hyemalis) independent of ecological context. During the first 2-yr postfire, we censused junco populations in each burn type with intensive spot-mapping and nest searching, locating 168 nests. Simultaneously, we conducted fixed-radius point-count surveys and estimated food availability and nest predation risk in each burn type to test whether ecological context may influence aural detection probability independent of actual density. We found no difference in nesting densities among patches burned at different severity. Arthropod food availability was inversely related to fire severity during the first postfire breeding season, but increased to higher levels across all severities during the second. In both years, aural detections were significantly greater in intermediate severity patches that consistently represented the habitat with the lowest nest predation risk. These results suggest that nest predation risk may significantly bias aural estimates of avian populations. Although traditional aural survey methods such as the Breeding Bird Survey measure habitat attributes, our findings highlight the difficulty in assessing relevant covariates in estimates of avian population. Future research must consider the potential for nest predation and other ecological factors to drive interannual or interhabitat variation in avian population estimates independent of true changes in population size.

Marked interspecific differences were found to occur in both the form of the sperm head and length of the tail. The species that possess a sperm head with an apical hook, which largely contains acrosomal material, generally displayed longer sperm tails, and a species with a spatulate sperm head had the shortest tail. The association between sperm head shape and tail length mirrors that previously found in Eurasian and Australasian murine rodents. Thus, the repeated association between sperm head shape and tail length across these groups of muroid rodents clearly indicates a functional relationship between these two features.

TI PROXIMATE NUTRIENT ANALYSES OF FOUR SPECIES OF SUBMERGED AQUATIC VEGETATION CONSUMED BY FLORIDA MANATEE (TRICHECHUS MANATUS LATIROSTRIS) COMPARED TO ROMAINE LETTUCE (LACTUCA SATIVA VAR. LONGIFOLIA) SO JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE LA English DT Review DE Halodule wrightii; manatee; nutrient analysis; Syringodium filiforme; Thalassia testudinum; Trichechus manatus ID WEST-INDIAN MANATEE; BANKS-EX-KONIG; THALASSIA-TESTUDINUM; CONSTITUENTS; COMMUNITIES; SEAGRASSES; SIRENIA; VALUES; TRACT; COAST AB Free-ranging Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) consume a variety of sea grasses and algae. This study compared the dry matter (DM) content, proximate nutrients (crude protein [CP], ether-extracted crude fat [EE], nonfiber carbohydrate [NFC], and ash), and the calculated digestible energy (DE) of sea grasses (Thalassia testudinum, Halodule wrightii, and Syringodium filiforme)collected in spring, summer, and winter, and an alga (Chara sp.) with those of romaine lettuce (Lactuca saliva var. longfolia). Neutral-detergent fiber (NDF), acid-detergent fiber (ADF), and lignin (L) measured after ash-extraction were also compared. Results of statistical tests (alpha = 0.01) revealed DM content was higher in aquatic vegetation than in lettuce (P = 0.0001), but NDF and ADF were up to threefold greater, EE (P = 0.00001) and CP (P = 0.00001) were 2-9 times less, and NFC (P = 0.0001) was 2-6 times lower in sea grass than in lettuce, on a DM basis. Chara was lower in NDF, ADF, L, EE, CP, and NFC relative to lettuce on a DM basis. Ash content (DM basis) was higher (P = 0.0001), and DE was 2-6 times lower in aquatic vegetation than in lettuce. Sea grass rhizomes had lower L and higher ash contents (DM basis) than sea grass leaves. Based on the nutrient analyses, romaine lettuce and sea grasses are not equivalent forages, which suggests that the current diet of captive Florida manatees should be reassessed.

TI DECREASED BASELINE FECAL GLUCOCORTICOID CONCENTRATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH SKIN AND ORAL LESIONS IN BLACK RHINOCEROS (DICEROS BICORNIS) SO JOURNAL OF ZOO AND WILDLIFE MEDICINE LA English DT Review DE Adrenocortical insufficiency; black rhinoceros; glucocorticoids; Diceros bicornis; hypoadrenia; skin lesions ID SUPERFICIAL NECROLYTIC DERMATITIS; CERATOTHERIUM-SIMUM; CRITICALLY-ILL; STRESS; RESPONSES; DISTRESS; BEHAVIOR AB Ulcerative lesions are a health concern for managed black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis) populations. To examine possible relationships between ex situ variables and adrenal activity with the presence of lesions, facility and socioenvironmental surveys of 25:20 (male:female) black rhinos at 18 zoos were conducted, and fecal samples were collected twice weekly for 1 yr for glucocorticoid metabolite analyses. During the collection period, 5.1 rhinos exhibited skin lesions, 1.0 had oral lesions, and 1.0 had both. All of the rhinos with lesions recovered, except the one with both oral and skin lesions, which died shortly after the end of the study. In general, there were no relationships (P > 0.05) between ex situ variables, or rhino behavior indices, and lesion onset. There also were no differences (P > 0.05) in fecal glucocorticoid variability (+/- SEM) between rhinos with (coefficients of variation [CV] = 57.1 +/- 7.2 ng/g) and without (53.8 +/- 2.3 ng/g) lesions, or in overall mean (+/- SEM) glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations between rhinos with (45.1 +/- 4.0 ng/g) and without (34.6 +/- 2.8 ng/g) lesions. However, baseline mean (+/- SEM) glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations were lower (P < 0.05) in rhinos with lesions (n = 5.1, baseline mean = 29.9 +/- 3.3 ng/g, range: 24.3-84.9 ng/g) than without (n = 19.19 baseline mean = 40.0 +/- 2.4 ng/g, range: 19.4-50.8 ng/g). For a male rhino that developed lesions during the study, the mean glucocorticoid concentrations were lower (P < 0.01) when lesions were present (n = 12, overall = 30.1 +/- 2.4 ng/g, baseline = 28.7 +/- 2.2 ng/g) than prior to lesion onset (n = 75, overall = 36.5 +/- 1.0 ng/g, baseline 35.3 +/- 0.8 ng/g). These results suggest that ulcerative lesions may be associated with changes in adrenal activity, although it is not clear if this is a cause or effect of disease.

Following initial diagnostics and supportive treatment, the mass was surgically resected and intralesional chemotherapy was administered. Despite treatment, the giraffe's condition worsened and euthanasia was performed. Gross necropsy revealed neoplastic invasion and destruction of underlying parietal bone, adjacent horn base, and sinuses, and metastases in the tracheobronchial and mandibular lymph nodes and lung. Histologically, the tumor was composed of packets of anaplastic round cells. Immunohistochemical studies further characterized the tumor as an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma. This is the first reported case of rhabdomyosarcoma in a giraffe.

TI Population dynamics, sex ratio and size at sex change in a protandric simultaneous hermaphrodite, the spiny shrimp Exhippolysmata oplophoroides SO MARINE BIOLOGY LA English DT Article ID LYSMATA-WURDEMANNI DECAPODA; MARINE SHRIMP; REPRODUCTIVE-BIOLOGY; CARIDEAN SHRIMPS; GENUS LYSMATA; HIPPOLYTIDAE; CRUSTACEA; GROWTH; ALLOCATION; ANIMALS AB One of the main goals of sex allocation theory is understanding sex ratio evolution. However, theoretical studies predicting sex ratios in species with unusual sexual systems, such as protandric simultaneous (PS) hermaphroditism, are rare. In PS hermaphrodites, juveniles first develop into functional males that mature into simultaneous hermaphrodites later in life. Here, we report on the sex ratio (males/males + hermaphrodites) in the PS hermaphroditic shrimp Exhippolysmata oplophoroides. A 2-year study demonstrated that hermaphrodites dominated the population in two different bays. This skewed sex ratio may be explained by limited encounter rates among conspecifics. In agreement with this idea, the density of shrimps was extremely low (a parts per thousand currency sign1 shrimp km(-2)) at the two study sites. Size at sex phase change and sex ratios remained relatively stable through time at the two bays. The stability of these parameters might be explained by the rather steady population structure of this species during the study period. A review of sex ratios in PS hermaphroditic shrimps (Lysmata and Exhippolysmata) revealed considerable variation; some species have male- and others hermaphrodite-skewed sex ratios. The conditions explaining inter- and intra-specific sex ratio variation in protandric simultaneous hermaphroditic species remain to be addressed. C1 [Baeza, J.

Isofamilies collected in Valle de Cauca, Colombia, showed morphological characters most similar to An. calderoni, a species which has never previously been reported in Colombia. Although discontinuity of the postsubcostal pale spots on the costa (C) and first radial (R(1)) wing veins is purportedly diagnostic for An. calderoni, the degree of overlap of the distal postsubcostal spot on C and R(1) were variable in Colombian specimens (0.003-0.024). In addition, in 98.2% of larvae, seta 1-X was located off the saddle and seta 3-C had 4-7 branches in 86.7% of specimens examined. Correlation of DNA sequences of the second internal transcribed spacer and mtDNA cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) barcodes (658 bp of the COI gene) generated from Colombian progeny material and wild-caught mosquitoes from Ecuador with those from the Peruvian type series of An. calderoni confirmed new country records. DNA barcodes generated for the closely related taxa, An. malefactor and An. punctimacula are also presented for the first time. Examination of museum specimens at the University of the Valle, Colombia, revealed the presence of An. calderoni in inland localities across Colombia and at elevations up to 1113 m.

Hyoscyameae and Mandragoreae are the only tribes of this family distributed exclusively in Eurasia with two centers of diversity: the Mediterranean-Turanian (MT) region and the Tibetan Plateau (TP). In this study, we examined the origins and biogeographical diversifications of the two tribes based on the phylogenetic framework and chronogram inferred from a combined data set of six plastid DNA regions (the atpB gene, the ndhF gene, the rps16-trnK intergenic spacer, the rbcL gene, the trnC-psbM region and the psbA-trnH intergenic spacer) with two fossil calibration points. Our data suggest that Hyoscyameae and Mandragoreae each forms a monophyletic group independently derived from different New World lineages in the early Miocene. Phylogenetic relationships within both tribes are generally well resolved. All genera of Hyoscyameae are found to be monophyletic and they diversified in middle to late Miocene. At nearly the same time. Mandragoreae split into two clades, corresponding to the MT region and the TP region, respectively. Both the phylogenetic relationships and the estimated ages of Hyoscyameae and Mandragoreae support two independent dispersal events of their ancestors from the New World into Eurasia. After their arrivals in Eurasia, the two tribes diversified primarily in the MT region and in the TP region via multiple biogeographic processes including vicariance, dispersal, recolonization or being preserved as relicts, from the mid Miocene to the late Quaternary.

All the molecular markers supported the taxonomic status of a single species of An. albimanus. Furthermore, agreement between the COI and the white genes suggested a scenario of Pleistocene geographic fragmentation (i.e., population contraction) and subsequent range expansion across southern Central America.

SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE gamma-ray burst: individual: 090515; stars: neutron ID NEUTRON-STARS; ENERGY INJECTION; MILLISECOND PULSARS; OPTICAL AFTERGLOW; EXTENDED EMISSION; HOST GALAXY; SPECTRAL LAGS; LIGHT CURVES; BURSTS; FLARES AB The majority of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to originate from the merger of compact binary systems collapsing directly to form a black hole. However, it has been proposed that both SGRBs and long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) may, on rare occasions, form an unstable millisecond pulsar (magnetar) prior to final collapse. GRB 090515, detected by the Swift satellite was extremely short, with a T-90 of 0.036 +/- 0.016 s, and had a very low fluence of 2 x 10(-8) erg cm(-2) and faint optical afterglow. Despite this, the 0.3-10 keV flux in the first 200 s was the highest observed for an SGRB by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT). The X-ray light curve showed an unusual plateau and steep decay, becoming undetectable after similar to 500 s. This behaviour is similar to that observed in some long bursts proposed to have magnetars contributing to their emission. In this paper, we present the Swift observations of GRB 090515 and compare it to other gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the Swift sample. Additionally, we present optical observations from Gemini, which detected an afterglow of magnitude 26.4 +/- 0.1 at T+1.7 h after the burst. We discuss potential causes of the unusual 0.3-10 keV emission and suggest it might be energy injection from an unstable millisecond pulsar. Using the duration and flux of the plateau of GRB 090515, we place constraints on the millisecond pulsar spin period and magnetic field. C1 [Rowlinson, A.; O'Brien, P. T.; Tanvir, N. R.; Evans, P.

Over many years the astrophysical databases have roughly kept pace with the advances in detector and spectrometer technology. We outline here the basic atomic processes contributing to the emission from different types of plasmas and briefly touch on the difference between the methods used to calculate this data. We then discuss in more detail the different issues addressed by atomic databases in regards to what data to store and how to make it accessible. Finally, the question of the effect of uncertainties in atomic data is explored, as a reminder to observers that atomic data is not known to infinite precision, and should not be treated as such.

Loftin, Horace Goodwin, Steve TI BIOLOGICAL, GEOGRAPHICAL, AND CULTURAL ORIGINS OF THE LOON HUNTING TRADITION IN CARTERET COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA SO WILSON JOURNAL OF ORNITHOLOGY LA English DT Article AB A tradition of shooting Common Loons (Gavin immer) for food and for bone fishing lures was established on Shackleford Banks, North Carolina, by the mid-19th century. This strongly ingrained tradition continued to be maintained, primarily by residents of nearby Harkers Island, when inhabitants of the banks moved inland about 1899. The practice probably arose because, on the east/west-tending Shackleford Banks, loons migrating northward in spring flew sufficiently low over land to be within shotgun range. Spring loon shooting, although illegal since 1918, grew to the point that dozens of hunters might be present on the banks on a given day. A strict law enforcement crackdown on this activity began in 1950, and the banks were effectively shut down for loon shooting. Loons continued to be shot opportunistically nearby, but a growing cultural intolerance of this practice brought the loon hunting tradition to an end. We document the existing memories and the few, scattered written sources concerning this unique local interaction between humans and birds. Received 30 March 2010. Accepted 23 June 2010.

All rocks from this area, including the basanites and minettes, show enrichment in LILE (e.g., Cs, Ba, and Sr) and depletion in HFSE (e.g., Ta and Ti), generally considered to be a characteristic of subduction-related magmas. The isotopic ratios of Cantaro-Colima rocks show the following ranges: (87)Sr/(86)Sr 0.70282-0.70395, (143)Nd/(144)Nd 0.51282-0.51305, (206)Pb/(204)Pb 18.54-18.70, (207)pb/(204)pb 15.53-15.61, and (208)Pb/(204)Pb 38.09-38.52. The most mafic basaltic andesite from Volcan Cantaro is isotopically the most depleted rock, similar to MORB and oceanic basalts from seamounts in the adjacent oceanic basins. It has the least radiogenic Sr and Pb and the most radiogenic Nd yet measured from any locality in the MVB. The combined geochemical and isotopic evidence is compatible with the generation of both alkaline and subalkaline magmas of the Cantaro-Colima volcanic chain in the mantle wedge by fluid-transport to the mantle from the subducted plate. The isotopic data are also generally consistent with the actual physical mixing of subalkaline and alkaline basanite-minette magmas to generate intermediate alkaline magmas. The geochemical and isotopic data from the western part of the MVB, including the Cantaro-Colima volcanic chain, however, also reflect the tectonic complexity of simultaneously ongoing subduction and rifting, requiring more complex petrogenetic processes and a chemically and isotopically heterogeneous mantle.

TI Isla Isabel (Nayarit, Mexico): Quaternary alkalic basalts with mantle xenoliths erupted in the mouth of the Gulf of California SO JOURNAL OF VOLCANOLOGY AND GEOTHERMAL RESEARCH LA English DT Article DE Isla Isabel; intraplate magmatism; petrography; geochemistry; mantle xenoliths ID EAST PACIFIC RISE; SAN-LUIS-POTOSI; SUBSOLIDUS PHASE-RELATIONS; MIDOCEAN RIDGE BASALT; VOLCANIC BELT; TRACE-ELEMENT; WESTERN MEXICO; SOCORRO ISLAND; CHEMICAL CLASSIFICATION; ULTRAMAFIC XENOLITHS AB Isla Isabel is a small island (similar to 1.06 km(2)) off the coast of Nayarit where intraplate-type alkali-basaltic volcanic rocks erupted during the Quaternary, and one of two Mexican islands (along with Isla Guadalupe) where it is known that the alkali basalts have transported peridotite xenoliths to the surface. The volume of the island is estimated at approximately 4.2 km(3); the volume above sea level is estimated to be approximately 0.03 km(3). The dominant volcanic rock type exposed above sea level is analcime-cemented basaltic tuff-breccia, the rapidly lithified products of hydrovolcanic eruptions; however, subaerial scoria-fall deposits and lava flows are also present. Ten analyzed Isla Isabel volcanic rocks are relatively homogeneous alkali basalts with 4.5-6.4 wt.% nepheline in the CIPW norm. Compared to other analyzed Mexican intraplate-type volcanic rocks from oceanic and continental localities, at the same MgO content, the Isabel samples are depleted in TiO(2), FeO(total), and Na(2)O, and moderately incompatible trace elements (e.g., Sm, Eu, Tb, and Zr). On the other hand, they are enriched in CaO and Al(2)O(3), and relatively compatible trace elements (e.g.. Lu and Sc). It is suggested that relative to other Mexican intraplate alkaline lavas the Isabel lavas were derived by higher degrees of melting at lower pressures of mantle that is characterized by ancient HIMU-like isotope systematics. Isabel olivine phenocrysts and their spinel inclusions range to Mg#s that overlap with the peridotite minerals in the accompanying mantle xenoliths, which has not been reported at other Mexican xenolith localities. Olivine-hosted glass inclusions in rapidly quenched scoria yielded the first estimates for volatile contents in Mexican intraplate-type mafic melts; maximum values are: 1.3 wt.% H(2)O, 2241 ppm CO(2),1500 ppm F, 1300 ppm S. and 1200 ppm CI. Isabel peridotites (OI +/- Hy +/- Di+Sp +/- PI) include dunites, harzburgites, and rare plagioclase-harzburgite, and are depleted in clinopyroxene in comparison to other Mexican peridotite localities where Iherzolites dominate; Isabel peridotite clinopyroxenes are also depleted in Na(2)O compared to other Mexican localities, another reflection of their refractory nature. Pressure estimates for Isabel xenoliths based on olivine-clinopyroxene Ca exchange indicate that they equilibrated at relatively low pressures (5.9-15.5 kb) compared to other Mexican peridotites (similar to 10-20 kb), which is consistent with the presence of a single plagioclase-harzburgite xenolith. The refractory character of the Isabel xenoliths is consistent with the results of the Alarcon segment of the PESCADOR seismic experiment, and Lizarralde et al.'s [Lizarralde, D., Axen, G.J., Brown, H.E., Fletcher, J.M., Gonzales-Fernandez, A., Harding, A.J., Holbrook, W.S., Kent, G.M., Paramo, P., Sutherland, F., Umhoefer, P.J., 2007.

NIB landforms are typically 400-1000 m in diameter and 30-100 m deep and are invariably surrounded by steep walls cut into one or more basaltic lava flows. NIB landforms lack evidence for a primary volcanogenic origin through either collapse or youthful eruptive activity. In the Pliocene portion (4 - 2 Ma) of the Plio-Quaternary Camargo volcanic field of Chihuahua (Mexico), they are relatively numerous and are best developed at the margins of a gently sloping (3-5 degrees) basaltic lava plateau and near major fault scarps. Mature NIB landforms have ring-like circular drainage patterns and central elevations marked by small volcanic necks and associated radial dikes intruded into basaltic scoria-fall and/or agglutinate deposits. We interpret NIB landforms to be erosional in origin. They develop where a cinder cone is surrounded by one or more sheet-like lava flows from one or more separate subsequent vents. Once eruptive activity ceases at the younger volcano(es), fluvial erosion gradually produces a ring-like drainage pattern along the contact between the lava and the older cinder cone. As a response to a marked contrast in resistance to erosion between lava flows and unconsolidated or poorly lithified pyroclastic deposits, the older cinder cone is preferentially eroded. In this manner, a ring-shaped, steep sided erosional basin, preformed by the scoria cone, is produced; eventually fluvial erosion exposes the central neck and dikes. The volume, relief, and age of the volcanic field are key factors in the formation and preservation of a NIB landform. They form in volcanic fields where lava emissions are sufficiently vigorous to engulf earlier cinder cones. Relief and associated high rates of fluvial erosion play an important role in NIB development, as demonstrated by their locations in the Camargo volcanic field. Fully developed NIB landforms are not found in Quaternary volcanic fields, probably because erosion has not had sufficient time to generate their characteristics features. NIB landforms are also absent in Miocene fields, because erosion has proceeded too far, and thus has completely removed any NIB landform that may once have existed. The Camargo volcanic field is the only major area of Pliocene intraplate eruptive activity in northern Mexico, and the only place where NIB landforms are relatively abundant. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

We present a detailed tephrochronological study of its Holocene proximal tephra-fall, pyroclastic surge and pyroclastic flow deposits based on 98 new stratigraphic sections, 183 new dendrocalibrated radiocarbon [(14)C] age determinations, 209 new geochemical analyses of pumice and ash, >50 texture and mineral (point-counting) mode determinations and 230 grain-size analyses. These results provide a much clearer understanding of the explosive eruptive behavior of Volcan de Colima during the past 10,000 years. Our data reveals that only one of the many eruptions described in historic documents has been large enough to be preserved. We discuss the major and trace element geochemistry and petrology of the Holocene tephra and compare it with the currently erupting calc-alkaline andesites and alkaline minettes and basanites from the adjacent cinder cones. It appears that several of the oldest (similar to 12,000-6000 yrs BP) samples of the Holocene tephra may record the last episodes of calc-alkaline and alkaline magma mixing as first described in the pioneering work of Luhr and Carmichael (1981). Finally, the tephrochronological record from the northern, downwind side of the Colima Volcanic Complex is compared with the extensive, radiocarbon-constrained, record of Holocene debris-avalanche deposits on the south side of the complex, to build a more integrated picture of its past volcanic activity.

The CCVR is an important physiographic feature separating the Gulf coastal plains from the Altiplano, with pronounced differential relief of more than 1000 m and sloping substrate promoting major edifice failures toward the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain of most of the volcanoes that form that chain. Its structure, composition, and volcanic history diverge significantly from that of the large dominantly andesitic stratovolcanoes that have been the major focus of research efforts in the TMVB. Cofre de Perote volcano is dominated by the successive emplacement of basaltic andesite, andesitic-trachyandesitic to dacitic lava flows and associated breccias erupted through different vents that built a massive low-angle compound shield-like volcano, in contrast to a typical steep stratocone. Despite that apparently stable morphology, repeated edifice collapse has left massive horseshoe-shaped scarps that truncate the eastern side of the edifice. Five major evolutionary stages characterize the growth of this volcano including: 1) emplacement of a multiple-vent dome complex forming the basal structure of Cofre de Perote around 1.3-0.51 Ma; 2) construction of the basal part of the compound shield volcano from at least two main upper-edifice vents and minor flank vents at about 0.42-0.31 Ma; 3) effusion of the summit lavas through multiple vents at 0.25-0.2 Ma; 4) late-stage, large-volume edifice collapse on at least two occasions (ca. 40 ka and ca. 11-13 ka), producing long-runout debris avalanches and debris flows that traveled to the east; and 5) nearly simultaneous eruption of both alkaline and calc-alkaline Pleistocene-to-Holocene monogenetic cones (likely related to regional volcanism) through the flanks of the Cofre de Perote edifice. Long-term factors influencing edifice failure include hydrothermal alteration, increased pore pressure from glacially derived water, extension produced by repetitive volcanism along the chain parallel to the maximum horizontal compression, and perhaps most significantly, construction of the edifice over a sharply eastward-sloping substrate. Evolution of a compound shield volcano like Cofre de Perote reveals that even relatively stable, long-quiescent edifices with a gentle morphology that are considered apparently extinct structures pose a significant hazard to the nearby populated areas, as post-eruptive sector collapses have occurred in recent times (40-11 ka) not associated with contemporaneous volcanic activity.

This eruption, dated at 74 ka, produced the 2800 km(3) Youngest Toba Tuff (YTT) and ash-fall. Quartz-bearing silicic pumices ranging from 68 to 77 wt.% SiO2 indicate that the YTT magma was zoned compositionally and mineralogically. Prior to the YTT eruption, two other silicic quartz-bearing tuffs known as the Middle Toba Tuff (MTT) and the Oldest Toba Tuff (OTT) were erupted from Toba at 0.501 Ma and 0.840 Ma respectively. Although the volatile contents of the Toba magmas are poorly constrained, aerosols generated by the YTT eruption are generally thought to have caused a global volcanic winter. An evaluation of the pre-eruptive dissolved gas contents of the YTT magma is fundamental to understanding the global effects of this eruption. We used melt inclusions in quartz crystals to determine the dissolved H2O, CO2, S, Cl, and F contents of the YTT, MTT, and OTT magmas. Quartz crystals selected from pumice blocks and welded tuffs that spanned the compositional ranges of the three units were chosen for study. Major and trace element analyses of melt inclusions were also conducted to characterize melt evolution and provide context to the volatile data. Melt inclusions from the YTT, MTT, and OTT are rhyolitic in composition (73-77 wt.% SiO2) and have overlapping, indistinguishable major element trends. Inclusions from the large eruptions (YTT and 07) have similar geochemical relationships where the most evolved melt inclusions occur in the least silicic bulk rock samples and are more evolved than their matrix glasses. In contrast, the least evolved melt inclusions occur in the most silicic samples and either overlap with, or are less evolved than their matrix glasses. These patterns can be explained if quartz crystals in the least silicic magmas were inherited from more evolved melt, while those in the most silicic melt formed in-situ. Several lines of evidence suggest that crystal settling of early-formed quartz crystals in long-lived magma bodies was an important process in the YTT and OTT magmas. Trace element data from the YTT melt inclusions have wide ranges (Rb = 250-830 ppm, Ba = <10-485 ppm) and mostly support these models: however, incompatible trace elements are enriched 2-3x over their matrix glass compositions in all samples. In the smaller MTT, melt inclusions overlapped with the compositional range of the bulk rock samples and are consistent with in-situ crystallization. FIR analyses indicate that the YTT. MTT. and OTT melts contained about 4.0-5.5, 2.0-5.5, and 2.0-5.5 wt.% H2O respectively. CO2 contents in all units are generally <100 ppm and Cl is <2000 ppm. Water gradients occur in all 3 tuffs, Cl gradients are evident only in the YTT, and the least silicic samples from all units had no detectable CO2. Sulfur contents in melt inclusions are low in all samples (<32 ppm) and overlap with matrix glass S contents. Applying broad degassing constraints, about 10(14) g of H2SO4 aerosols were likely loaded into the atmosphere during the YTT eruption, 2 orders of magnitude less than previous petrologic estimates. Considerably more Cl and F, about 10(15) g of each, may have been part of the YTT aerosol cloud. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Most research in this area has focused on spatial gradients of species richness, with a smaller area of emphasis dedicated to understanding the temporal dynamics of richness. However, few attempts have been made to understand the linkages between the spatial and temporal patterns related to richness. Here, we argue that spatial and temporal richness patterns and the processes that drive them are inherently linked, and that our understanding of richness will be substantially improved by considering them simultaneously. The species-time-area relationship provides a case in point: successful description of the empirical spatio-temporal pattern led to a rapid development and testing of new theories. Other areas of research on species richness could also benefit from an explicitly spatio-temporal approach, and we suggest future directions for understanding the processes common to these two traditionally isolated fields of research.

The late Quaternary of North America represents a natural experiment in which we can evaluate how species responded during the expansion and contraction of the glaciers. Here, we ask whether species' range shifts differ because of taxonomic affinity, life-history traits, body size or topographic heterogeneity and whether the species survived the megafaunal extinction. There was no difference in range shifts between victims and survivors of the megafaunal extinction. In general, the change in the size of a species' range is not well correlated with any of the ecological or life-history traits evaluated. However, there are significant relationships between some variables and the movements of the centroids of ranges. Differences in the distances shifted exist among orders, although this is probably a result of body size differences as larger bodied species show larger shifts. Although there are a few exceptions, the distance that species shifted their range was weakly correlated with life-history traits. Finally, species in more topographically heterogeneous areas show smaller shifts than species in less-diverse areas. Overall, these results indicate that when trying to predict species range shifts in the future, body size, lifespan and the topographic relief of the landscape should be taken into account.

Even small changes in climate and productivity, such as those that occurred after the rise of the Isthmus of Panama, caused major changes in Caribbean coastal ecosystems and mass extinctions of major taxa. In contrast, massive influxes of carbon at the end of the Palaeocene caused intense global warming, ocean acidification, mass extinction throughout the deep sea and the worldwide disappearance of coral reefs. Today, overfishing, pollution and increases in greenhouse gases are causing comparably great changes to ocean environments and ecosystems. Some of these changes are potentially reversible on very short time scales, but warming and ocean acidification will intensify before they decline even with immediate reduction in emissions. There is an urgent need for immediate and decisive conservation action. Otherwise, another great mass extinction affecting all ocean ecosystems and comparable to the upheavals of the geological past appears inevitable. C1 [Jackson, Jeremy B.

TI The Evolution of Maximum Body Size of Terrestrial Mammals SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID DIVERSIFICATION; VEGETATION; DINOSAURS; DYNAMICS AB The extinction of dinosaurs at the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary was the seminal event that opened the door for the subsequent diversification of terrestrial mammals. Our compilation of maximum body size at the ordinal level by sub-epoch shows a near-exponential increase after the K/Pg. On each continent, the maximum size of mammals leveled off after 40 million years ago and thereafter remained approximately constant. There was remarkable congruence in the rate, trajectory, and upper limit across continents, orders, and trophic guilds, despite differences in geological and climatic history, turnover of lineages, and ecological variation. Our analysis suggests that although the primary driver for the evolution of giant mammals was diversification to fill ecological niches, environmental temperature and land area may have ultimately constrained the maximum size achieved.

TI Modeling the Spatial Distribution and Fruiting Pattern of a Key Tree Species in a Neotropical Forest: Methodology and Potential Applications SO PLOS ONE LA English DT Article ID APPROXIMATE BAYESIAN COMPUTATION; DIPTERYX-PANAMENSIS; MOVEMENT PATTERNS; HABITAT SELECTION; TROPICAL FOREST; SEED DISPERSAL; EL-NINO; BEHAVIOR; PANAMA; RECRUITMENT AB Background: The movement patterns of wild animals depend crucially on the spatial and temporal availability of resources in their habitat. To date, most attempts to model this relationship were forced to rely on simplified assumptions about the spatiotemporal distribution of food resources. Here we demonstrate how advances in statistics permit the combination of sparse ground sampling with remote sensing imagery to generate biological relevant, spatially and temporally explicit distributions of food resources. We illustrate our procedure by creating a detailed simulation model of fruit production patterns for Dipteryx oleifera, a keystone tree species, on Barro Colorado Island (BCI), Panama. Methodology and Principal Findings: Aerial photographs providing GPS positions for large, canopy trees, the complete census of a 50-ha and 25-ha area, diameter at breast height data from haphazardly sampled trees and long-term phenology data from six trees were used to fit 1) a point process model of tree spatial distribution and 2) a generalized linear mixed-effect model of temporal variation of fruit production. The fitted parameters from these models are then used to create a stochastic simulation model which incorporates spatio-temporal variations of D. oleifera fruit availability on BCI. Conclusions and Significance: We present a framework that can provide a statistical characterization of the habitat that can be included in agent-based models of animal movements. When environmental heterogeneity cannot be exhaustively mapped, this approach can be a powerful alternative. The results of our model on the spatio-temporal variation in D. oleifera fruit availability will be used to understand behavioral and movement patterns of several species on BCI.

The search for both isomers was based on theoretical structures obtained at the CCSD(T)/cc-pwCVQZ level of theory corrected for zero-point vibrational effects. At a similarly high level of theory, the cis-isomer is calculated to be the global minimum on the potential energy surface, but the trans-isomer is predicted to lie only a few kcal/mol higher in energy. A total of seven lines, including a- and b-type transitions, has been observed for both isomers, and precise rotational constants have been derived. Because sulfur dioxide, SO2, is a widespread and very abundant astronomical species, and because it possesses a large proton affinity, HOSO+ is an excellent candidate for radioastronomical detection.

TI THE INCLINATIONS OF FAINT TRANS-NEPTUNIAN OBJECTS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LETTERS LA English DT Article DE Kuiper Belt: general; surveys ID KUIPER-BELT OBJECTS; SIZE DISTRIBUTION; ORBITS; SEARCH AB Bernstein et al. found that the population of faint (R > 26) trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) known at that time was dominated by "Classical" objects, which have low inclinations (i < 5 degrees) and distances of 40-45 AU. Since those observations, the number of faint TNOs whose orbits are sufficiently well known to be classified as "Classical" or "Excited" has grown from 7 to 39. We analyze the dynamical classifications of faint TNOs known today and find that this population is dominated by Excited objects. We discuss some implications of this result. C1 [Trilling, D.

H-2 EMISSION IN L1157 SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE ISM: jets and outflows; stars: formation ID WARM MOLECULAR-HYDROGEN; J-TYPE SHOCKS; CLASS-0 SOURCES; YOUNG STARS; HH 7-11; GAS; SIO; RATIO; JETS; SPECTROSCOPY AB We present an analysis of Spitzer-IRS spectroscopic maps of the L1157 protostellar outflow in the H-2 pure-rotational lines from S(0) to S(7). The aim of this work is to derive the physical conditions pertaining to the warm molecular gas and study their variations within the flow. The mid-IR H-2 emission follows the morphology of the precessing flow, with peaks correlated with individual CO clumps and H-2 2.12 mu m ro-vibrational emission. More diffuse emission delineating the CO cavities is detected only in the low-laying transitions, with J(lower) <= 2. The H-2 line images have been used to construct two-dimensional maps of N(H-2), H-2 ortho-to-para ratio (OPR), and temperature spectral index beta, in the assumption of a gas temperature stratification where the H-2 column density varies as T-beta. Variations of these parameters are observed along the flow. In particular, the OPR ranges from similar to 0.6 to 2.8, highlighting the presence of regions subject to recent shocks where the OPR has not had time yet to reach the equilibrium value. Near-IR spectroscopic data on ro-vibrational H-2 emission have been combined with the mid-IR data and used to derive additional shock parameters in the brightest blueshifted and redshifted emission knots. A high abundance of atomic hydrogen (H/H-2 similar to 0.1-0.3) is implied by the observed H-2 column densities, assuming n(H-2) values as derived by independent SiO observations. The presence of a high fraction of atomic hydrogen indicates that a partially dissociative shock component should be considered for the H-2 excitation in these localized regions. However, planar shock models, either of C-or J-type, are not able to consistently reproduce all the physical parameters derived from our analysis of the H-2 emission. Globally, H-2 emission contributes to about 50% of the total shock radiated energy in the L1157 outflow. We find that the momentum flux through the shocks derived from the radiated luminosity is comparable to the thrust of the associated molecular outflow, supporting the scenario where the latter is driven by the shock working surface.

TI ON THE STAR FORMATION RATES IN MOLECULAR CLOUDS SO ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL LA English DT Article DE dust, extinction; ISM: clouds; stars: formation ID FIELD EXTINCTION MAPS; SPITZER C2D SURVEY; GAS TRACERS; PIPE NEBULA; DENSE CORE; DARK CLOUD; X-RAY; GALAXIES; COLD; L1630 AB In this paper, we investigate the level of star formation activity within nearby molecular clouds. We employ a uniform set of infrared extinction maps to provide accurate assessments of cloud mass and structure and compare these with inventories of young stellar objects within the clouds. We present evidence indicating that both the yield and rate of star formation can vary considerably in local clouds, independent of their mass and size. We find that the surface density structure of such clouds appears to be important in controlling both these factors. In particular, we find that the star formation rate (SFR) in molecular clouds is linearly proportional to the cloud mass (M-0.8) above an extinction threshold of A(K) approximate to 0.8 mag, corresponding to a gas surface density threshold of Sigma(gas) approximate to 116M(circle dot) pc(2). We argue that this surface density threshold corresponds to a gas volume density threshold which we estimate to be n(H-2) approximate to 10(4) cm(-3). Specifically, we find SFR (M-circle dot yr(-1)) = 4.6 +/- 2.6 x 10(-8) M-0.8 ( M-circle dot) for the clouds in our sample. This relation between the rate of star formation and the amount of dense gas in molecular clouds appears to be in excellent agreement with previous observations of both galactic and extragalactic star-forming activity. It is likely the underlying physical relationship or empirical law that most directly connects star formation activity with interstellar gas over many spatial scales within and between individual galaxies. These results suggest that the key to obtaining a predictive understanding of the SFRs in molecular clouds and galaxies is to understand those physical factors which give rise to the dense components of these clouds.

The fraction of these "hot-dust-poor" AGNs increases with redshift from 6% at lowredshift (z < 2) to 20% at moderate high redshift (2 < z < 3.5). There is no clear trend of the fraction with other parameters: bolometric luminosity, Eddington ratio, black hole mass, and X-ray luminosity. The 3 mu m emission relative to the 1 mu m emission is a factor of 2-4 smaller than the typical Elvis et al. AGN spectral energy distribution (SED), which indicates a "torus" covering factor of 2%-29%, a factor of 3-40 smaller than required by unified models. The weak hot dust emission seems to expose an extension of the accretion disk continuum in some of the source SEDs. We estimate the outer edge of their accretion disks to lie at (0.3-2.0) x 10(4) Schwarzschild radii, similar to 10-23 times the gravitational stability radii. Formation scenarios for these sources are discussed. C1 [Hao, Heng; Elvis, Martin; Civano, Francesca; Lanzuisi, Giorgio] Harvard Smithsonian Ctr Astrophys, Cambridge, MA 02138 USA.

The timescale on which black holes transition into and out of such phases is, however, unknown. We present the first measurement of the shutdown timescale for an individual quasar using X-ray observations of the nearby galaxy IC 2497, which hosted a luminous quasar no more than 70,000 years ago that is still seen as a light echo in "Hanny's Voorwerp," but whose present-day radiative output is lower by at least two, and more likely by over four, orders of magnitude. This extremely rapid shutdown provides new insight into the physics of accretion in supermassive black holes and may signal a transition of the accretion disk to a radiatively inefficient state.

TI Geology of the Martian crustal dichotomy boundary: Age, modifications, and implications for modeling efforts SO JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH-PLANETS LA English DT Article ID MARS GLOBAL SURVEYOR; ORBITER LASER ALTIMETER; LOBATE DEBRIS APRONS; IMPACT CRATERS; HEMISPHERIC DICHOTOMY; EARLY DIFFERENTIATION; VALLEY NETWORKS; FRETTED TERRAIN; NORTHERN LOWLANDS; EVOLUTION AB The contrast in crustal thickness, surface age, elevation, and morphology between the southern cratered highlands and northern lowland plains of Mars is termed the crustal dichotomy. The oldest exposed sections of the crustal dichotomy boundary are ancient cratered slopes, which influenced post-Noachian fresh crater morphometry, Late Noachian valley network planform, and the degradation patterns of Middle to Late Noachian (similar to 3.92-3.7 Ga) impact craters. Noachian visible and topographically defined impact craters at the top of the cratered slope show no evidence of flexure-induced normal faulting. These observations and published geophysical data collectively require an Early to Pre-Noachian age for the crustal dichotomy, prior to the largest recognized impact basins. Late Noachian plateau deposits and more prolonged Tharsis volcanism appear to have buried parts of the old cratered slope, and fretted terrain developed in this transition zone during the Early Hesperian Epoch (similar to 3.7-3.6 Ga). Fretted/knobby terrains, lowland plains, and most visible structures (wrinkle ridges, fractures, and normal faults) postdate Noachian crater modification and are several hundred million years younger than the cratered slope of the crustal dichotomy, so they provide no valid basis or constraint for models of its formation. Long-wavelength topography in cratered terrain dates to Early to Pre-Noachian time and provides a useful model constraint. Geological and geophysical observations are thus reconciled around an early age and relatively rapid development of the Martian crustal dichotomy.

TI Coherence of nitrogen-vacancy electronic spin ensembles in diamond SO PHYSICAL REVIEW B LA English DT Article ID SINGLE SPINS; DYNAMICS; QUBITS; STATE AB We present an experimental and theoretical study of electronic spin decoherence in ensembles of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers in bulk high-purity diamond at room temperature. Under appropriate conditions, we find ensemble NV spin coherence times (T(2)) comparable to that of single NV with T(2) > 600 mu s for a sample with natural abundance of (13)C and paramagnetic impurity density similar to 10(15) cm(-3). We also observe a sharp decrease in the coherence time with misalignment of the static magnetic field relative to the NV electronic spin axis, consistent with theoretical modeling of NV coupling to a (13)C nuclear-spin bath. The long coherence times and increased signal-to-noise provided by room-temperature NV ensembles will aid many applications of NV centers in precision magnetometry and quantum information.

TI Two new flea beetle genera: Alasia alpina gen. et sp. nov. from a Costa Rican cloud forest and Pseudostenophyma gen. nov. from Brazil (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Alticinae) SO ZOOTAXA LA English DT Article DE ALAS Project; flea beetle; host plants; Melastomataceae; Gunneraceae; Gentianaceae AB Alasia alpina is described as a new genus and species from high altitude cloud forests in Heredia, Costa Rica. Morphologically it is distinctive by its overall smooth shiny surface, dark-brown to black coloration, elongate body form; very long antennae, long, slender femora, broadly triangular, subconcave frons with shagreened surface, elytra weakly striate, and structure of the genitalia and metafemoral spring. It apparently prefers Melastomataceae host plants in the forest understory. It is most similar to Pseudostenophyma modesta com. nov. from which it differs in morphology, color, size, altitude of occurrence, and habitat. Stenophyma elegans Baly (type species) was discovered not to be congeneric with the other species in that genus S. modesta Weise, resulting in Pseudostenophyma being established as a new generic name for this taxon (P. modesta).

TI Spatial patterns in reef-generated noise relate to habitats and communities: Evidence from a Panamanian case study SO JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL MARINE BIOLOGY AND ECOLOGY LA English DT Article DE Coral Reefs; Reef noise; Community structure; Acoustics; Las Perlas Archipelago; Panama ID CORAL-REEF; SOUND PRODUCTION; OLFACTORY ABILITIES; SNAPPING SHRIMP; PELAGIC LARVAE; PACIFIC PANAMA; FISHES; POMACENTRIDAE; DAMSELFISH; SETTLEMENT AB Noise generated by a reef community provides a valuable orientation cue for reef fish; both for larvae as they recruit to reefs, and for adults and juveniles during nocturnal movements. However, the nature of the information conveyed in reef noise is as yet unknown. In this study, the characteristics of daytime acoustic recordings from patch and fringing reefs in the Las Perlas Archipelago, Pacific Panama were compared. Recordings of ambient noise made during the day showed coral reef communities produced acoustic profiles that varied spatially across the Archipelago. At eleven reef sites in the north of the Archipelago, data were also collected on fish and benthic communities using standard visual survey techniques. These data, along with existing survey data from 40 reef sites, were compared with short-term (2 minute) acoustic profiles to explore associations between point sampled acoustic and census data. Using a correlation matrix, the best predictors of acoustic characteristics were identified from a range of factors, including fish density and biomass, coral and fish diversity, coral and algal cover, reef depth and sea state. Multiple regression GLMs highlighted the importance of fish density and diversity on noise below 1 kHz, and coral and benthic diversity on noise above 1 kHz. A positive correlation was also found between coral cover and daytime noise intensity across the entire Archipelago, suggesting potential in the future development of passive acoustics as a method for rapid ecological assessment or for long-term monitoring of reefs. These findings demonstrate the richness of information available to reef fishes, and make the case for further studies that explore the relationships between habitat and community characteristics with temporal and spatial variation in reef noise.

In 2005, high ocean temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean resulted in the most severe bleaching event ever recorded in the basin. Methodology/Principal Findings: Satellite-based tools provided warnings for coral reef managers and scientists, guiding both the timing and location of researchers' field observations as anomalously warm conditions developed and spread across the greater Caribbean region from June to October 2005. Field surveys of bleaching and mortality exceeded prior efforts in detail and extent, and provided a new standard for documenting the effects of bleaching and for testing nowcast and forecast products. Collaborators from 22 countries undertook the most comprehensive documentation of basin-scale bleaching to date and found that over 80% of corals bleached and over 40% died at many sites. The most severe bleaching coincided with waters nearest a western Atlantic warm pool that was centered off the northern end of the Lesser Antilles. Conclusions/Significance: Thermal stress during the 2005 event exceeded any observed from the Caribbean in the prior 20 years, and regionally-averaged temperatures were the warmest in over 150 years. Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity. This severe, widespread bleaching and mortality will undoubtedly have long-term consequences for reef ecosystems and suggests a troubled future for tropical marine ecosystems under a warming climate.

The method is based on the expansion of the wave function of the collision complex in basis functions with well-defined total angular momentum in the body-fixed coordinate frame. We outline the general theory of the method for collisions of diatomic molecules in the (2)Sigma and (3)Sigma electronic states with structureless atoms and with unlike (2)Sigma and (3)Sigma molecules. The cross sections for elastic scattering and Zeeman relaxation in low-temperature collisions of CaH ((2)Sigma(+)) and NH ((3)Sigma(-)) molecules with He-3 atoms converge quickly with respect to the number of total angular momentum states included in the basis set, leading to a dramatic (> 10-fold) enhancement in computational efficiency compared to the previously used methods [A. Volpi and J. L. Bohn, Phys. Rev. A 65, 052712 (2002); R. V. Krems and A. Dalgarno, J. Chem. Phys. 120, 2296 (2004)]. Our approach is thus well suited for theoretical studies of strongly anisotropic molecular collisions in the presence of external electromagnetic fields. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

TI New insight into lunar impact melt mobility from the LRO camera SO GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS LA English DT Article ID EMPLACEMENT; INFLATION; GULLIES; HAWAII; FLOWS; LAVA AB The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) is systematically imaging impact melt deposits in and around lunar craters at meter and sub-meter scales. These images reveal that lunar impact melts, although morphologically similar to terrestrial lava flows of similar size, exhibit distinctive features (e.g., erosional channels). Although generated in a single rapid event, the post-impact mobility and morphology of lunar impact melts is surprisingly complex. We present evidence for multi-stage influx of impact melt into flow lobes and crater floor ponds. Our volume and cooling time estimates for the post-emplacement melt movements noted in LROC images suggest that new flows can emerge from melt ponds an extended time period after the impact event.

We review the geologic and phylogenetic evidence from Amazonia and compare it with uplift records from the Andes. This uplift and its effect on regional climate fundamentally changed the Amazonian landscape by reconfiguring drainage patterns and creating a vast influx of sediments into the basin. On this "Andean" substrate, a region-wide edaphic mosaic developed that became extremely rich in species, particularly in Western Amazonia. We show that Andean uplift was crucial for the evolution of Amazonian landscapes and ecosystems, and that current biodiversity patterns are rooted deep in the pre-Quaternary.

Valencia, Victor Vervoort, Jeff TI Effects of Rapid Global Warming at the Paleocene-Eocene Boundary on Neotropical Vegetation SO SCIENCE LA English DT Article ID THERMAL MAXIMUM; CERREJON FORMATION; CLIMATE; TEMPERATURE; DISCRIMINATION; COLOMBIA; CANOPY; FOREST; TREE; CO2 AB Temperatures in tropical regions are estimated to have increased by 3 degrees to 5 degrees C, compared with Late Paleocene values, during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, 56.3 million years ago) event. We investigated the tropical forest response to this rapid warming by evaluating the palynological record of three stratigraphic sections in eastern Colombia and western Venezuela. We observed a rapid and distinct increase in plant diversity and origination rates, with a set of new taxa, mostly angiosperms, added to the existing stock of low-diversity Paleocene flora. There is no evidence for enhanced aridity in the northern Neotropics. The tropical rainforest was able to persist under elevated temperatures and high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, in contrast to speculations that tropical ecosystems were severely compromised by heat stress.

Radio data SO MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY LA English DT Article DE galaxies: active; galaxies: evolution ID STEEP-SPECTRUM SOURCES; WEAK CSS SOURCES; 1ST-BASED SURVEY; SYMMETRIC OBJECTS; VLBI OBSERVATIONS; VLA OBSERVATIONS; GALAXIES; SAMPLE; AGN; GHZ AB We present a new sample of compact steep spectrum (CSS) sources with radio luminosity below 10(26) W Hz(-1) at 1.4 GHz; these are called low-luminosity compact (LLC) objects. The sources have been selected from the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) survey and observed with the multi-element radio linked interferometer network (MERLIN) at the L and C bands. The main criterion used for selection was the luminosity of the objects, and approximately one-third of the CSS sources from the new sample have a value of radio luminosity comparable to Fanaroff-Riley type 1 sources (FR Is). About 80 per cent of the sources have been resolved and about 30 per cent have weak extended emission and disturbed structures when compared with the observations of higher-luminosity CSS sources. We have studied the correlation between radio power and linear size, and the redshift with a larger sample that also included published samples of compact objects and large-scale FR IIs and FR Is. In the radio power versus linear size diagram, the LLC objects occupy the space below the main evolutionary path of radio objects. We suggest that many of these might be short-lived objects, and their radio emission may be disrupted several times before they become FR IIs. We conclude that there exists a large population of short-lived LLC objects unexplored so far, and some of these could be precursors to large-scale FR Is. C1 [Kunert-Bajraszewska, M.; Gawronski, M.
