AB We present sensitive high angular resolution (similar to 1 '') millimeter continuum and line observations from the massive star-forming region DR21(OH) located in the Cygnus X molecular cloud. Within the well-known dusty MM1-2 molecular cores, we report the detection of a new cluster of about 10 compact continuum millimeter sources with masses between 5 and 24 M(circle dot), and sizes of a few thousands of astronomical units. These objects are likely to be large dusty envelopes surrounding massive protostars, some of them most probably driving several of the outflows that emanate from this region. Additionally, we report the detection of strong millimeter emission of formaldehyde (H(2)CO) and methanol (CH(3)OH) near 218 GHz as well as compact emission from the typical outflow tracers carbon monoxide and silicon monoxide (CO and SiO) toward this massive star-forming region. The H(2)CO and CH(3)OH emission is luminous (similar to 10(-4) L(circle dot)), well resolved, and found along the collimated methanol maser outflow first identified at centimeter wavelengths and in the sources SMA6 and SMA7. Our observations suggest that this maser outflow might be energized by a millimeter source called SMA4 located in the MM2 dusty core. The CO and SiO emission traces some other collimated outflows that emanate from MM1-2 cores, and are not related with the low-velocity maser outflow.

AB In many social animals, group-mates cooperate to defend their range against intrusion by neighboring groups. Because group size tends to be highly variable, such conflicts are often asymmetric. Although numerical superiority is assumed to provide a competitive advantage, small groups can generally defend their ranges, even when greatly outnumbered. The prevailing explanation for this puzzling phenomenon is that individuals in relatively large groups experience a greater temptation to flee from conflicts, in effect leveling the balance of power. Using playback experiments simulating territorial intrusions by wild capuchin monkey (Cebus capucinus) groups, we show that such a collective action problem does indeed undermine the competitive ability of large groups. Focal capuchins were more likely to run away from territorial intrusions when their group had a numeric advantage; each one-individual increase in relative group size raised the odds of flight by 25%. However, interaction location had a more important impact on individuals' reactions, creating a strong home-field advantage. After controlling for relative group size, the odds that a focal animal fled were 91% lower in experiments that occurred in the center compared with on the edge of its group's range, whereas the odds that it rushed toward the speaker were more than sixfold higher. These location-dependent patterns of defection and cooperation create a competitive advantage for residents over intruders across a wide range of relative group sizes, which may stabilize range boundaries and provide a general explanation for how groups of widely divergent sizes can coexist, even in the face of intense intergroup competition.

ID QUANTUM ELECTRODYNAMICS; EMISSION; SYSTEMS
AB The influence of a third molecule on the rate of resonance energy transfer is studied using diagrammatic perturbation theory within the framework of molecular quantum electrodynamics. Two distinct mechanisms are identified. One corresponds to direct transfer between donor and acceptor while the other involves relay of energy by the third species. Fermi Golden rule transition rates valid for all separation distances beyond wave function overlap are evaluated for these two processes as well as for the interference term between direct and indirect exchange, thereby extending previous work which was limited to the near-zone only. Short- and long-range limits are also obtained in each case. It is found that in the near-zone the indirect rate contribution exhibits inverse sixth power dependence on relative distances of emitter and absorber relative to the third body, in contrast to its far-zone counterpart, which exhibits inverse square behavior. The interference term, however, displays inverse cubic dependence on all three distance vectors at short-range and inverse behavior in the far-zone. Interestingly, for a collinear arrangement of the three molecules in the near-zone, the interference term is negative, reducing the overall rate of energy transfer. The results obtained are interpreted in terms of microscopic and macroscopic pictures of transfer occurring within a surrounding medium. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.

TI A GIS Model Predicting Potential Distributions of a Lineage: A Test Case
on Hermit Spiders (Nephilidae: Nephilengys)
SO PLOS ONE
LA English
DT Article
ID SPECIES DISTRIBUTION; ECOLOGY; ARANEAE; DIVERSITY; EVOLUTION
AB Background: Although numerous studies model species distributions, these models are almost exclusively on single species, while studies of evolutionary lineages are preferred as they by definition study closely related species with shared history and ecology. Hermit spiders, genus Nephilengys, represent an ecologically important but relatively species-poor lineage with a globally allopatric distribution. Here, we model Nephilengys global habitat suitability based on known localities and four ecological parameters.
Methodology/Principal Findings: We geo-referenced 751 localities for the four most studied Nephilengys species: N. cruentata (Africa, New World), N. livida (Madagascar), N. malabarensis (S-SE Asia), and N. papuana (Australasia). For each locality we overlaid four ecological parameters: elevation, annual mean temperature, annual mean precipitation, and land cover. We used linear backward regression within ArcGIS to select two best fit parameters per species model, and ModelBuilder to map areas of high, moderate and low habitat suitability for each species within its directional distribution. For Nephilengys cruentata suitable habitats are mid elevation tropics within Africa (natural range), a large part of Brazil and the Guianas (area of synanthropic spread), and even North Africa, Mediterranean, and Arabia. Nephilengys livida is confined to its known range with suitable habitats being mid-elevation natural and cultivated lands. Nephilengys malabarensis, however, ranges across the Equator throughout Asia where the model predicts many areas of high ecological suitability in the wet tropics. Its directional distribution suggests the species may potentially spread eastwards to New Guinea where the suitable areas of N. malabarensis largely surpass those of the native N. papuana, a species that prefers dry forests of Australian (sub) tropics.
Conclusions: Our model is a customizable GIS tool intended to predict current and future potential distributions of globally distributed terrestrial lineages. Its predictive potential may be tested in foreseeing species distribution shifts due to habitat destruction and global climate change.

AB We have assembled a tiled array (220 cm(2)) of fine pixel (0.6 mm) imaging CZT detectors for a balloon borne wide-field hard X-ray telescope, ProtoEXIST2. ProtoEXIST2 is a prototype experiment for a next generation hard X-ray imager MIRAX-HXI on board Lattes, a spacecraft from the Agencia Espacial Brasilieira. MIRAX will survey the 5 to 200 keV sky of Galactic bulge, adjoining southern Galactic plane and the extragalactic sky with 6' angular resolution. This survey will open a vast discovery space in timing studies of accretion neutron stars and black holes. The ProtoEXIST2 CZT detector plane consists of 64 of 5 mm thick 2 cm x 2 cm CZT crystals tiled with a minimal gap. MIRAX will consist of 4 such detector planes, each of which will be imaged with its own coded-aperture mask. We present the packaging architecture and assembly procedure of the ProtoEXIST2 detector. On 2012, Oct 10, we conducted a successful high altitude balloon experiment of the ProtoEXIST1 and 2 telescopes, which demonstrates their technology readiness for space application. Both telescopes performed flawlessly during the flight as well as on the ground. We report the results of pre-flight ground calibration and the preliminary results for the detector performance in the balloon flight.

AB Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) plays a unique role in Eastern forests, producing distinctive biogeochemical, habitat, and microclimatic conditions and yet has begun a potentially irreversible decline due to the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae; HWA) that causes foliar damage, crown loss, and mortality of host trees. Understanding the regional, landscape, site, and stand factors influencing HWA spread and impact is critical for predicting future landscape dynamics and directing effective management. Using aerial photographs, we documented hemlock distribution throughout central Massachusetts and subsampled 123 stands to examine the spatial pattern of HWA and its impact on tree vigor and mortality since its arrival in 1989. In the study region, over 86,000 ha of hemlock forest were mapped in 5,127 stands. White pine (Pinus strobus), red oak (Quercus rubra), red maple (Acer rubrum), and black birch (Betula lenta) were common overstory associates. Hemlock abundance increased from south to north, commonly on western and northwestern slopes. Average stand size was 55 ha, overstory basal area ranged from 23 to 55 m(2) ha(-1) and overstory stem densities averaged 993 ha(-1).
By 2004, 40% of sampled stands were infested, but most stands remained in good health overall; only 8 stands contained high HWA densities and only two had lost >50% overstory hemlock. Out of fifteen stand and landscape predictor variables examined, only latitude and winter climate variables were related to HWA density. Cold temperatures appear to be slowing the spread and impact of HWA at its northern extent as HWA infestation intensity and hemlock mortality and vigor were significantly correlated with average minimum winter temperature. Contrary to predictions, there was no regional increase in hemlock harvesting. The results suggest that regional HWA-hemlock dynamics are currently being shaped more by climate than by a combination of landscape and social factors. The persistence and migration of HWA continues to pose a significant threat regionally, especially in the northern portion of the study area, where hemlock dominates many forests.

AB Background and aims We review evidence for hybridization of Phragmites australis in North America and the implications for the persistence of native P. australis ssp. americanus populations in North America. We also highlight the need for an updated classification system, which takes P. australis intra-specific variation and hybridization into account.
Methodology We reviewed available published, in press and in preparation literature to assess the likelihood of hybridization and interbreeding in genotypes of P. australis present in North America.
Principal results Experimental results demonstrate that hybridization among introduced and native haplo-types is possible within the genus Phragmites, yet evidence that hybridization has occurred naturally is only starting to emerge. The lag in identifying hybridization in Phragmites in North America may be related to under-sampling in some parts of North America and to a lack of molecular tools that provide the capability to recognize hybrids.
Conclusions Our understanding of the gene flow within and between species in the genus Phragmites is moving at a fast pace, especially on the east and Gulf coasts of North America. More attention should also be focused on the Great Lakes region, the southwestern and the west coast of the USA, where sympatry has created opportunities for hybridization. Where hybridizations have been detected, there are currently no published data on how hybridization affects plant vigour, morphology, invasiveness or conservation of the genetic integrity of the North American native subspecies. We conclude that the detection of more hybridization is highly likely and that there is a need to develop new markers for the different Phragmites species and lineages to fill current knowledge gaps. Finally, we suggest that the classification system for P. australis should be updated and published to help clarify the nomenclature.

ID NETWORK DYNAMICS; VISUALIZATION; SCIENCES
AB Social network visualization is useful for understanding the complex structure of collaborative efforts such as citizen science projects. It has been widely accepted by social network analysts for exploring and analyzing networks by visually showing their members, the relationships among them, and their behaviors and attributes. The strength of social network visualization can be increased even further, by incorporating the time dimension of evolving networks. We analyzed the conversation network of a collaborative citizen science web platform called the Encyclopedia of Life using dynamic network visualization methods. This paper shows how the temporal visualization was applied to the social collaboration analysis of EOL and presents the findings. We found that some EOL web site features increased the interactive as well as individual member activities. We also found evidence that EOL curator activities encouraged the activities of other members.

AB Wernher von Braun's historic talk at Huntsville on 7 June 1962, when he endorsed "lunar-orbit rendezvous" (LOR) as the mode for landing on the Moon, has long been seen as one of the most critical dates in the Apollo program. It effectively ended a months-long, divisive debate inside NASA over LOR versus "earth-orbit rendezvous" (EOR) versus "direct ascent" (a single huge rocket to launch a lander directly at the Moon, with no rendezvous). Von Braun and his Marshall Space Flight Center had a long-standing commitment to EOR. While historians have long emphasized the significance of this surprise endorsement of LOR, there has been little analysis of how and when he arrived at that decision.
This chapter will discuss the process by which von Braun finally picked LOR in the spring of 1962 and attempts to pinpoint the date of that decision. But it also examines his long prehistory of Moon proposals, beginning in public with his October 1952 Collier's articles. In 1961, after President Kennedy's endorsement of the Apollo landing goal, he leaned toward EOR primarily because he did not want to build the huge launch vehicle required for direct ascent. He only gradually and somewhat reluctantly changed his mind. How that came about will be the fundamental substance of this chapter.

AB The majority of research on biodiversity ecosystem functioning in laboratories has concentrated on a few traits, but there is increasing evidence from the field that functional diversity controls ecosystem functioning more often than does species number. Given the importance of traits as predictors of niche complementarity and community structures, we (1) examine how the diversity sensu lato of forest trees, freshwater fishes and soil invertebrates might support ecosystem functioning and (2) discuss the relevance of productive biota for monophyletic assemblages (taxocenes).
In terrestrial ecosystems, correlating traits to abiotic factors is complicated by the appropriate choice of body-size distributions. Angiosperm and gymnosperm trees, for example, show metabolic incongruences in their respiration rates despite their pronounced macroecological scaling. Scaling heterotrophic organisms within their monophyletic assemblages seems more difficult than scaling autotrophs: in contrast to the generally observed decline of mass-specific metabolic rates with body mass within metazoans, soil organisms such as protozoans show opposite mass-specific trends.
At the community level, the resource demand of metazoans shapes multitrophic interactions. Hence, population densities and their food web relationships reflect functional diversity, but the influence of biodiversity on stability and ecosystem functioning remains less clear. We focused on fishes in 18 riverine food webs, where the ratio of primary versus secondary extinctions (hereafter, 'extinction partitioning') summarizes the responses of fish communities to primary species loss (deletions) and its consequences. Based on extinction partitioning, our high-diversity food webs were just as (or even more) vulnerable to extinctions as low-diversity food webs.
Our analysis allows us to assess consequences of the relocation or removal of fish species and to help with decision-making in sustainable river management. The study highlights that the topology of food webs (and not simply taxonomic diversity) plays a greater role in stabilizing the food web and enhancing ecological services than is currently acknowledged.

AB A satellite elephant collar is a device mounted on an elephant's neck to track its position and movements. This information is essential for conservation and management of this highly endangered species. Currently available units are proprietary designs by few manufacturers and no literature can be found about their internal operation. This lack of published information hampers the evolution and development of future collaring systems with increased features and functionalities for research, conservation and management. Critical issues for improvement include live time of the collar, which is related to power consumption and operational modes of the unites, and remote programmability allowing for changes in data acquisition during deployment. Most commercially available collars lack the ability to change data acquisition schedules remotely over the air, and therefore data acquisition is un-optimized, which is directly responsible for un-optimized power consumption. This research was conducted to develop a satellite elephant collar with improved lifetime and remote programmability. A second purpose of our research was to make information on how to built elephant collars needs to become widely available to the user community,. This paper presents the particular issue of power optimization of satellite elephant collars. A functional test collar was designed using general purpose electronic components and a number of software and hardware optimization methods used during development which are presented in this paper. An expected life time over 580 days was achieved with eight D size Ultralife U10015 batteries for the prototype collar.

ID SUBMILLIMETER WAVELENGTHS; ASTRONOMY
AB We report the design and successful operation of an superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) mixer operating near the superconducting gap of niobium. A key feature of this design is the employment of a unilateral finline taper to transform the waveguide modes to microstrip signals. This transition is easy to design since it can be rigorously modeled, and also easy to fabricate being a single-layer structure. We will show that unilateral finline mixers have important advantages at THz frequencies since they exhibit wideband operation at both radio frequency (RF) and intermediate frequency (IF), allow elegant on-chip integration of the mixer circuits and result in an extremely simple mixer block that does not require a backshort or any mechanical tuners. The mixer we describe below is fed by a multiple flare-angle smooth-walled horn which exhibits beam pattern characteristic comparable to the conventional corrugated horn and yet is much easier to fabricate.
In this paper, we shall present a brief discussion of the testing of the multiple flare-angle horn and detailed description of the design and testing of the mixer, covering similar to 100 GHz bandwidth centered at 650 GHz. In particular, we will present full electromagnetic design description of the mixer chip including the superconducting effects, and the heterodyne properties of the mixer using quantum mixing theory. Mixer performance tests that we carried out from 595 to 702 GHz gave a best receiver noise temperature of 145 K at 600 GHz, corrected for a 75 mu m beam splitter.
Finally, we performed a thorough analysis of the mixer performance, comparing the experimental results with theoretical models. Our investigation demonstrated that unilateral finline mixers fed by a multiple flare-angle horn can yield performance comparable to conventional designs, hence are suitable for large format mixer array at THz frequencies.

ID ETHNOGRAPHY
AB The paper explores the scientific legacy of Ernest S. Burch, Jr., 1938-2010, one of the leading experts on the social life and ethnohistory of Alaskan indigenous people. Burch's professional career is viewed through the lenses of five monumental projects (initiatives) that he accomplished over 50 years: the study of subsistence ecology in Kivalina, Alaska (1960-1985); reconstruction of the early 1800s Inupiat nations in North Alaska (1969-1980); the National Geographic map, "Peoples of the Arctic, ca. 1825" (1979-1983); the multivolume series, Cultural and Natural Heritage of Northwest Alaska (1983-2003); and the history of caribou herds in Alaska (late 1990s-2010). Several projects that Burch had started but did not bring to conclusion are also discussed. Burch's research set the highest professional standards in the discipline of arctic anthropology for over four decades, and the resulting loss of knowledge and expertise will be hard to overcome.

AB Ernest Burch's long and varied career spanning the circumpolar Arctic began with excursions to Labrador, Greenland, and Newfoundland in 1954, 1959, and 1962. His initiation into arctic anthropology through the mentorship of Elmer Harp, Jr., his later collaboration with the Smithsonian Handbook Project, and his Research Associate appointment with the Arctic Studies Center created much common ground with the Smithsonian. This paper reviews B-arch's career-long relationship with the Smithsonian Institution and through a short personal memorial he wrote in 2010 for Elmer Harp's Memorial reveals the beginning of his career.

AB We have built a new three-stage FPGA-based highspeed trigger for VERITAS, an array of ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs) located in Arizona. This trigger has the ability to recognize patterns of Cherenkov light generated by atmospheric air showers initiated by incident extra-terrestrial gamma rays. The new trigger has programmable coincidence recognition timing and programmable delay compensation over 499 pixel channels in an IACT camera. Measurement of and compensation for systemic variations is achieved through the use of an FPGA-based time-to-digital converter (TDC) and FPGA-based programmable delay elements. The trigger pattern is the coincidence of any three adjacent pixels within the camera. The minimum coincidence window of 3ns with low dead time provides sensitivity at lower energies than were achieved previously. The new trigger has now been successfully installed on all four of the IACTs of VERITAS, replacing the previous system. We present measurements of the performance of this new trigger in comparison with that of the previous system and of the effect of the new trigger upon overall array performance.

AB A large fraction of all stars are formed in binary and multiple stellar systems, unlike our own singleton sun. The most massive stars in our galaxy are overwhelmingly found in pairs or higher order multiples. In this proceedings, I give a possible explanation for the frequent binarity of massive stars: the accretion disks that feed massive protostars are prone to fragmentation due to gravitational instability. The propensity of these disks to fragment may also explain the upper mass to which they grow. Next, I will examine the long term stability of higher order multiple systems. As stars evolve, they lose mass, triggering orbital instabilities. Once the systems become unstable, the orbits become chaotic. This chaos leads to frequent collisions and ejections, which may lead to the formation of an array of exotic compact binary systems.

AB We have found a commercially-available ethernet interface module with sufficient on-board resources to largely handle all timing generation tasks required by digital imaging systems found in astronomy. In addition to providing a high-bandwidth ethernet interface to the controller, it can largely replace the need for special-purpose timing circuitry. Examples for use with both CCD and CMOS imagers are provided.

AB NIRMOS (Near-Infrared Multiple Object Spectrograph) is a 0.9 to 2.5 mu m imager/spectrograph concept proposed for the Giant Magellan Telescope(1) (GMT). Near-infrared observations will play a central role in the ELT era, allowing us to trace the birth and evolution of galaxies through the era of peak star formation. NIRMOS' large field of view, 6.5' by 6.5', will be unique among imaging spectrographs developed for ELTs. NIRMOS will operate in Las Campanas' superb natural seeing and is also designed to take advantage of GMT's ground-layer adaptive optics system. We describe NIRMOS' high-performance optical and mechanical design.

An order of magnitude improvement of the state-of-the-art of calibration of echelle spectrographs is amongst the requirements needed to achieve detection of earth-mass planets around sun-like stars in the habitable zone. We present studies of calibrators using a custom Fourier Transform Spectrograph (FTS) optimized for characterizing broadband, high repetition-rate laser frequency combs ("astro-combs") as well as other calibration sources including Th:Ar lamps and white-light etalons.

AB The Thermal Infrared imager for the GMT which provides Extreme contrast and Resolution (TIGER) is intended as a small-scale, targeted instrument capable of detecting and characterizing exoplanets and circumstellar disks, around both young systems in formation, and more mature systems in the solar neighborhood. TIGER can also provide general purpose infrared imaging at wavelengths from 1.5-14 mu m. The instrument will utilize the facility adaptive optics (AO) system. With its operation at NIR to MIR wavelengths (where good image quality is easier to achieve), and much of the high-impact science using modestly bright guide stars, the instrument can be used early in the operation of the GMT.
The TIGER concept is a dual channel imager and low resolution spectrometer, with high contrast modes of observations to fulfill the above science goals. A long wavelength channel (LWC) will cover 7-14 mu m wavelength, while a short wavelength channel (SWC) will cover the 1.5-5 mu m wavelength region. Both channels will have a 30 '' FOV. In addition to imaging, low-resolution spectroscopy (R=300) is possible with TIGER for both the SWC and LWC, using insertable grisms.

AB The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is a 25.4-m optical/infrared telescope constructed from seven 8.4-m primary mirror segments. The collecting area is equivalent to a 21.6-m filled aperture. The instrument development program was formalized about two years ago with the initiation of 14-month conceptual design studies for six candidate instruments. These studies were completed at the end of 2011 with a design review for each. In addition, a feasibility study was performed for a fiber-feed facility that will direct the light from targets distributed across GMT's full 20 arcmin field of view simultaneously to three spectrographs. We briefly describe the features and science goals for these instruments, and the process used to select those instruments that will be funded for fabrication first. Detailed reports for most of these instruments are presented separately at this meeting.

AB Searches for Earth-like exoplanets using the stellar radial velocity measurements require accuracy < 10 cm/s over years. To achieve such high accuracy requires a wavelength reference that provides many calibration lines with fractional frequency accuracy of 10(-10) in the visible spectral range. We have developed a green astro-comb that generates similar to 6000 lines equally spaced by similar to 0.15 angstrom over 1000-angstrom bandwidth (centered at 5500 angstrom). The frequency of each line is directly locked to a frequency standard with fractional accuracy of 10(-12) over decades. We plan to bring this green astro-comb to the HARPS-north spectrograph at the TNG telescope for tests in 2012.

AB We present a new and innovative near-infrared multi-band ultraprecise spectroimager (NIMBUS) for SOFIA. This design is capable of characterizing a large sample of extrasolar planet atmospheres by measuring elemental and molecular abundances during primary transit and occultation. This wide-field spectroimager would also provide new insights into Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNO), Solar System occultations, brown dwarf atmospheres, carbon chemistry in globular clusters, chemical gradients in nearby galaxies, and galaxy photometric redshifts. NIMBUS would be the premier ultraprecise spectroimager by taking advantage of the SOFIA observatory and state of the art infrared technologies.
This optical design splits the beam into eight separate spectral bandpasses, centered around key molecular bands from 1 to 4 mu m. Each spectral channel has a wide field of view for simultaneous observations of a reference star that can decorrelate time-variable atmospheric and optical assembly effects, allowing the instrument to achieve ultraprecise calibration for imaging and photometry for a wide variety of astrophysical sources. NIMBUS produces the same data products as a low-resolution integral field spectrograph over a large spectral bandpass, but this design obviates many of the problems that preclude high-precision measurements with traditional slit and integral field spectrographs. This instrument concept is currently not funded for development.

AB Searches for extrasolar planets using precision radial velocity (PRV) techniques are approaching Earth-like planet sensitivity, however require an improvement of one order of magnitude to identify earth-mass planets in the habitable zone of sun-like stars. A key limitation is spectrograph calibration. An astro-comb, an octave-spanning laser frequency comb and a Fabry-Perot cavity, producing evenly spaced frequencies with large wavelength coverage, is a promising tool for improved wavelength calibration. We demonstrate the calibration of a high-resolution astrophysical spectrograph below the 1 m/s level in the 8000-9000 angstrom and 4200 angstrom spectral bands.

AB The f/5 instrumentation suite for the Clay telescope was developed to provide the Magellan Consortium observer community with wide field optical imaging and multislit NIR spectroscopy capability. The instrument suite consists of several major subsystems including two focal plane instruments. These instruments are Megacam and MMIRS. Megacam is a panoramic, square format CCD mosaic imager, 0.4 degrees on a side. It is instrumented with a full set of Sloan filters. MMIRS is a multislit NIR spectrograph that operates in Y through K band and has long slit and imaging capability as well. These two instruments can operate both at Magellan and the MMT. Megacam requires a wide field refractive corrector and a Topbox to support shutter and filter selection functions, as well as to perform wavefront sensing for primary mirror figure correction. Both the corrector and Topbox designs were modeled on previous designs for MMT, however features of the Magellan telescope required considerable revision of these designs. In this paper we discuss the optomechanical, electrical, software and structural design of these subsystems, as well as operational considerations that attended delivery of the instrument suite to first light.

ID PERFORMANCE; TELESCOPE
AB The GMT-CfA, Carnegie, Catolica, Chicago Large Earth Finder (G-CLEF) is a fiber fed, optical echelle spectrograph that has undergone conceptual design for consideration as a first light instrument at the Giant Magellan Telescope. G-CLEF has been designed to be a general-purpose echelle spectrograph with precision radial velocity (PRV) capability. We have defined the performance envelope of G-CLEF to address several of the highest science priorities in the Decadal Survey(1). The spectrograph optical design is an asymmetric, two-arm, white pupil design. The asymmetric white pupil design is adopted to minimize the size of the refractive camera lenses. The spectrograph beam is nominally 300 mm, reduced to 200 mm after dispersion by the R4 echelle grating. The peak efficiency of the spectrograph is >35% and the passband is 3500-9500 angstrom. The spectrograph is primarily fed with three sets of fibers to enable three observing modes: High-Throughput, Precision-Abundance and PRV. The respective resolving powers of these modes are R similar to 25,000, 40,000 and 120,000. We also anticipate having an R similar to 40,000 Multi-object Spectroscopy mode with a multiplex of similar to 40 fibers. In PRV mode, each of the seven 8.4m GMT primary mirror sub-apertures feeds an individual fiber, which is scrambled after pupil-slicing. The goal radial velocity precision of G-CLEF is partial derivative V < 10 cm/sec radial. In this paper, we provide a flowdown from fiducial science programs to design parameters. We discuss the optomechanical, electrical, structural and thermal design and present a roadmap to first light at the GMT.

AB Total ionization cross sections for the single and double ionization of He by antiproton impact will be presented. Beside the total cross sections, we also show doubly differential data for single ionization at 10 and 100 keV impact energies. The cross sections were obtained by solving the two-electron time-dependent Schrodinger equation (TDSE) exactly, and by using the four-body classical trajectory Monte Carlo (CTMC-4B) method. Our TDSE total cross sections are in excellent agreement with the available experimental data.

AB Neutron impact on atoms can be used to study correlated electron dynamics. Through a collision with the nucleus, the neutron effects a true many-body transition by giving a sudden momentum boost to all electrons at the same time. We demonstrate this concept for helium atoms, where neutron impact leads to excitation of highly correlated doubly excited states that are not easily accessible otherwise.

AB Attosecond streaking is one of the most fundamental processes in attosecond science allowing for a mapping of temporal (i.e. phase) information to the energy domain. We show that on the single particle level attosecond streaking time shifts contain spectral phase information associated with the Eisenbud-Wigner-Smith time delay, as long as the influence of the streaking infrared field is properly accounted for.

AB Attosecond streaking is one of the most fundamental processes in attosecond science allowing for a mapping of temporal (i.e. phase) information on the energy domain. We show that on the single-particle level attosecond streaking time shifts contain spectral phase information associated with the Eisenbud-Wigner-Smith (EWS) time delay, provided the influence of the streaking infrared field is properly accounted for. While the streaking phase shifts for short-ranged potentials agree with the associated EWS delays, Coulomb potentials require special care. We show that the interaction between the outgoing electron and the combined Coulomb and IR laser fields lead to a streaking phase shift that can be described classically.

AB We investigate the photodissociation process for both hot and cold HeH+ ions. Detailed comparison with experiments performed at FLASH is made possible by experimentally determining the ro-vibrational distribution of the ions under identical source conditions, and averaging the theoretical cross sections accordingly.

AB Although it is thought to play an important role in the chemistry of some extra-terrestrial environments, the HeH+ cation has not been detected in space so far. We suggest it could be observed in its triplets rather than singlet states and we study the formation by radiative stabiliation and the destruction by photodissociation of the two lowest states of this symmetry.

AB A web-based telescope proposal processing system has been developed at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to interactively process proposals by CfA users of the MMT, FLWO 1.2-, 1.3-, and 1.5-meter telescopes, and the Magellan telescopes into a standardized form. This system is based on one from NOAO, with the addition of more interactivity and feedback. Proposals are saved so that information does not have to be re-entered for long-term projects, and a single login per user instead of per project makes life easier for scientists with multiple observing projects. Proposals are grouped by instrument and telescope and presented to the the telescope Time Allocation Committee (TAC) both online and as hard-copies. Web pages are generated for each of the TAC members to enter their grades online. Software normalizes the grades and averages them into a final grade for each proposal. The grades are given to the TAC, which then meets and allocates the trimester's (semester's for Magellan) observing time according to these grades.

AB The Chandra Data Archive (CDA) has been providing links between data and astronomical publications to the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) for many years as part of our maintaining of the Chandra Bibliography. In the past year the CDA and ADS have embarked on an observation ontology project which has expanded our exchange of information to include details about the observations, proposals, and bibliographic classifications related to the data in publications. ADS is incorporating this additional information into a new semantic literature search tool which is currently under development. In this paper we discuss what an observatory needs to collect to provide useful metadata to this new ADS service. This process has brought to light several important pieces of information about observations which were not being collected in a systematic way. We will also discuss how the CDA plans to incorporate the collection of this information into its existing infrastructure.

AB The WorldWide Telescope computer program, released to researchers and the public as a free resource in 2008 by Microsoft Research, has changed the way the ever-growing Universe of online astronomical data is viewed and understood. The WWT program can be thought of as a scriptable, interactive, richly visual browser of the multi-wavelength Sky as we see it from Earth, and of the Universe as we would travel within it. In its web API format, WWT is being used as a service to display professional research data. In its desktop format, WWT works in concert (thanks to SAMP and other IVOA standards) with more traditional research applications such as ds9, Aladin and TOPCAT. The WWT Ambassadors Program (founded in 2009) recruits and trains astrophysically-literate volunteers (including retirees) who use WWT as a teaching tool in online, classroom, and informal educational settings. Early quantitative studies of WWTA indicate that student experiences with WWT enhance science learning dramatically. Thanks to the wealth of data it can access, and the growing number of services to which it connects, WWT is now a key linking technology in the Seamless Astronomy environment we seek to offer researchers, teachers, and students alike.

AB The ADS All-Sky Survey (ADSASS) is an ongoing effort aimed at turning the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), widely known for its unrivaled value as a literature resource for astronomers, into a data resource. The ADS is not a data repository per se, but it implicitly contains valuable holdings of astronomical data, in the form of images, tables and object references contained within articles. The objective of the ADSASS effort is to extract these data and make them discoverable and available through existing data viewers. The resulting ADSASS data layer promises to greatly enhance workflows and enable new research by tying astronomical literature and data assets into one resource.

AB The Characterisation data model (Louys et al. 2011a) is a standard of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) that describes observational datasets in the multi-dimensional parameter space. Defining three properties: coverage, resolution, and sampling along different physical axes (e.g. spatial, spectral, flux) with variable level of details for the description, this model has been used in several IVOA contexts: Simple Spectral Access Protocol, Spectrum Data Model, ObsTAP (Table Access Protocol for the Core Components of the Observation Data Model (Louys et al. 2011b). Here we propose a new version which addresses more completely the most detailed level of description (level 4) dealing with variation maps of coverage, resolution, and sampling. It also introduces new specific axes in order to cover various photometric measurements, velocity and polarimetry. Special care is given for composed data sets. These improvements and add-ons follow the evolution of needs expressed to the uptake of VO tools in various observation domains for data discovery but also for data analysis requirements. This is also introduced to tackle use-cases designed to analyse scientifically datasets in the VO context together with calibration/provenance information.

AB The International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) developed numerous interoperability standards during the last several years. Most of them are quite simple to implement from the technical point of view and even contain "SIMPLE" in the title. Does it mean that it is also simple to build a working VO resource using those standards? Yes and no. "Yes" because the standards are indeed simple, and "no" because usually one needs to implement a lot more than it was thought in the beginning of the project so the time management of the team becomes difficult. In our presentation we will start with a basic case of a simple spectral data collection. Then we will describe several examples of "small" technologically advanced VO resources built in CDS and VO-Paris and will show that many standards are hidden from managers' eyes at the initial stage of the project development. The projects will be: (1) the GalMer database providing access to the results of numerical simulations of galaxy interactions; (2) the full spectrum fitting service that allows one to extract internal kinematics and stellar populations from spectra of galaxies available in the VO. We conclude that: (a) with the existing set of IVOA standards one can already build very advanced VO-enabled archives and tools useful for scientists; (b) managers have to be very careful when estimating the project development timelines for VO-enabled resources.

AB The SedImporter enables the seamless analysis and exploration of photometric and spectroscopic data by allowing users to combine their own data files with archival data extracted from VAO services and convert that data into the standard IVOA Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) Data Model format. It was developed as a stand alone module in support of Iris, the Virtual Astronomical Observatory's Spectral Energy Distribution Analysis Tool. The SedImporter is designed to be flexible enough to serve a wide range of specific use cases through its various components. The Graphical User Interface allows users to build standard multi-segment spectro-photometric SEDs from local and remote files. It supports files conforming to IVOA standards and provides a mechanism for mapping non-compliant files stored in the most common file formats. It also allows users to fetch SEDs served from the NASA Extragalactic Database SED service. The tool is interoperable with Iris and other VO enabled tools through SAMP, the Simple Applications Messaging Protocol. Much photometric and spectroscopic data is stored by single users and large collaborations using custom formats: the SedImporter provides a dedicated Software Development Kit which allows third party developers to extend the SedImporter supported file formats, allowing the users to build a library of dynamically loaded plug-ins. The Command Line Interface provides flexibility in how users can apply the SedImporter functionality. For example, one could generate a script which applies a custom conversion to a large set of files.

AB Virtual Observatory (VO) protocols and standards are getting mature and the astronomical community asks for astrophysical data to be easily reachable. This means data centers have to intensify their efforts to provide the data they manage not only through proprietary portals and services but also through interoperable resources developed on the basis of the IVOA (International Virtual Observatory Alliance) recommendations. Here we present the work and ideas developed at the IA2 (Italian Astronomical Archive) data center hosted by the INAF-OATs (Italian Institute for Astrophysics - Trieste Astronomical Observatory) to reach this goal. The core point is the development of an application that from existing DB and archive structures can translate their content to VO compliant resources: VO-Dance (written in Java). This application, in turn, relies on a database (potentially DBMS independent) to store the translation layer information of each resource and auxiliary content (UCDs, field names, authorizations, policies, etc.). The last token is an administrative interface (currently developed using the Django python framework) to allow the data center administrators to set up and maintain resources. This deployment, platform independent, with database and administrative interface highly customizable, means the package, when stable and easily distributable, can be also used by single astronomers or groups to set up their own resources from their public datasets.

AB In this paper we present the Clustering-Labels-Score Patterns Spotter (CLaSPS), a new methodology for the determination of correlations among astronomical observables in complex datasets, based on the application of distinct unsupervised clustering techniques and the use of additional information for the selection of the optimal spontaneous associations of sources in the original feature space. The novelty in this approach is the criterion followed for the selection of the optimal clusterings, based on a quantitative measure of the degree of correlation between the features used for the determination of the clusters and a set of observables, the labels, not employed for the clustering.

Besides being interesting from a purely academic point of view, this question is also highly relevant for the process of furthering science. Data sharing not only helps the process of verification of claims, but also the discovery of new findings in archival data. However, linking to data still is a far cry away from being a "practice", especially where it comes to authors providing these links during the writing and submission process. You need to have both a willingness and a publication mechanism in order to create such a practice. Showing that articles with links to data get higher citation rates might increase the willingness of scientists to take the extra steps of linking data sources to their publications. In this presentation we will show this is indeed the case: articles with links to data result in higher citation rates than articles without such links.

AB We are proposing several new publication metrics that are more meaningful and less sensitive to observatory-specific characteristics than the traditional ones. They fall into three main categories: speed of publication; fraction of observing time published; and archival usage. Citation of results is a fourth category, but it lends itself less well to definite statements.
Applied to the bibliography of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the median time from observation to publication is 2.36 years; after about seven years 90% of the observing time is published; the total annual publication output of the mission is 60-70% of the cumulative observing time available, assuming a two year lag between data retrieval and publication; and after seven years approximately 60% of available exposure time is published more than twice.

AB Astronomy has long had a working network of archives supporting the curation of publications and data The discipline has already created many of the features which perplex other areas of science: (1) data repositories: (supra)national institutes, dedicated to large projects; a culture of user-contributed data; practical experience of long-term data preservation; (2) dataset identifiers: the community has already piloted experiments, knows what can undermine these efforts, and is participating in the development of next-generation standards; (3) citation of datasets in papers: the community has an innovative and expanding infrastructure for the curation of data and bibliographic resources, and through them a community of authors and editors familiar with such electronic publication efforts; as well, it has experimented with next-generation web standards (e.g. the Semantic Web); (4) publisher buy-in: publishers in this area have been willing to innovate within the constraints of their commercial imperatives. What can possibly be missing? Why don't we have an integrated framework for the publication and preservation of all data products already? Are there technical barriers? We don't believe so. Are there cultural or commercial forces inhibiting this? We aren't aware of any. This Birds of a Feather session (BoF) attempted to identify existing bathers to the creation of such a framework, and attempted to identify the parties or groups which can contribute to the creation of a VO-powered data-publishing framework.

AB We present Iris, the VAO (Virtual Astronomical Observatory) application for analyzing SEDs (spectral energy distributions). Iris is the result of one of the major science initiatives of the VAO, and the first version was released in September 2011. Iris seamlessly combines key features of several existing astronomical software applications to streamline and enhance the SED analysis process. With Iris, users may read in and display SEDs, select data ranges for analysis, fit models to SEDs, and calculate confidence limits on best-fit parameters. SED data may be uploaded into the application from IVOA-compliant VOTable and FITS format files, or retrieved directly from NED (the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database). Data written in unsupported formats may be converted for upload using SedImporter, a new application provided with the package. The components of Iris have been contributed by members of the VAO. Specview, contributed by STScI (the Space Telescope Science Institute), provides a GUI for reading, editing, and displaying SEDs, as well as defining model expressions and setting initial model parameter values. Sherpa, contributed by the Chandra project at SAO (the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory), provides a library of models, fit statistics, and optimization methods for analyzing SEDs; the underlying I/O library, SEDLib, is a VAO product written by SAO to current IVOA (International Virtual Observatory Alliance) data model standards. NED is a service provided by IPAC (the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center) at Caltech for easy location of data for a given extragalactic astronomical source, including SEDs. SedImporter is a new tool for converting non-standard SED data files into a format supported by Iris. We demonstrate the use of SedImporter to retrieve SEDs from a variety of sources from the NED SED service, from the user's own data, and from other VO applications using SAMP (Simple Application Messaging Protocol). We also demonstrate the use of Iris to read, display, select ranges from, and fit models to SEDs. Finally, we discuss the architecture of Iris, and the use of IVOA standards so that Specview, Sherpa, SEDLib and SedImporter work together seamlessly.

ID ENAMEL MICROWEAR; LATE MIOCENE; GREECE; DIET; REPEATABILITY; TEXTURES;

AB One potentially problematic aspect of dental microwear analysis is sensitivity to the resolution (fineness of detail) at which dental wear surfaces are viewed. Magnification is one of many variables that determine resolution. Microwear studies based on light microscopy generally report magnifications ranging from 30X-100X, although ambiguities in reported methods prohibit duplication of the resolutions of many studies. Moreover, magnification settings have been arbitrary and, thus far, the biasing effects of different resolutions have not been tested. We tested sensitivity of dental microwear analysis to resolution by manipulating pixel density and magnification in photomicrographs taken under a light microscope using the molars of a browser (moose), grazer (zebra), and frugivore/hard object feeder (peccary). Resolution affected the number of observable microwear features and distorted the proportional frequencies of large and small features. Nonetheless, two observers independently found similar differences between the species throughout a range of resolutions. At no resolution did observers recover statistically undifferentiated data, although interobserver correlation was best when resolution was decreased to 20-40% of the initial resolution. Observer correlation for microwear features with a maximal dimension >20 mu m was substantially better than for smaller features. We conclude that (1) dimensionless aspects of microwear data (e.g., proportional numbers of scratches between species) are more robust to resolution than raw frequency data, (2) higher resolution does not produce higher quality data, and (3) the optimal resolution may be dependent upon the size of the microwear features. Further testing of the interaction of resolution, microwear feature size, and the observer will increase repeatability of results and lead to more robust paleodietary interpretations.

AB Ediacaran fronds are iconic members of the soft-bodied Ediacara biota, characterized by disparate morphologies and wide stratigraphic and environmental ranges. As is the case with nearly all Ediacaran forms, views of their phylogenetic position and ecology are equally diverse, with most frond species considered as sharing a similar ecological guild rather than life history. Experimental biomechanics can potentially constrain these interpretations and suggest new approaches to understanding frond life habits.
We examined the behavior in flow of two well-know species of Charniodiscus from the Mistaken Point Formation of Newfoundland, Canada (Avalon assemblage): Charniodiscus spinosus and C. procerus. Models reflecting alternative interpretations of surface morphology and structural rigidity were subjected to qualitative and quantitative studies of flow behavior in a recirculating flow tank.
At the same velocities and orientations, model C. procerus and C. spinosus experienced similar drag forces; the drag coefficient of C. procerus was smaller, but it is taller and thus experiences higher ambient flow velocities. Reorientation to become parallel to flow dramatically reduces drag in both forms. Models further demonstrated that C. procerus (and to a lesser extent C. spinosus) behaved as self exciting oscillators, which would have increased gas exchange rates at the surface of the fronds and is consistent with an osmotrophic life habit.

AB While some primate species attempt to avoid predators by fleeing, hiding or producing alarm calls, others actually approach, harass and sometimes attack potential threats, a behavior known as 'mobbing'. Why individuals risk their safety to mob potential predators remains poorly understood. Here, I review reports of predator harassment by primates to (1) determine the distribution of this behavior across taxa, (2) assess what is known about the costs of mobbing, and (3) evaluate hypotheses about its function. Mobbing is taxonomically widespread and is used against a wide range of predator species. However, inconsistent use of the term 'mobbing' within the primate literature, the lack of systematic studies of primate mobbing, and the likelihood of systematic biases in the existing data pose significant obstacles to understanding this puzzling behavior. Although difficult to quantify, the costs associated with harassing predators appear nontrivial. Many benefits that have been proposed to explain mobbing in birds may also be important in primate systems. There are puzzling aspects of primate mobbing, however, that existing hypotheses cannot explain. Future research should consider the within-group signaling potential of this costly behavior, as well as the ability of behavioral syndromes to explain the distribution of mobbing in primates.

AB We present preliminary results from our ongoing program to develop CMOS detectors as single photon counting, soft X-ray imaging spectrometers. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in collaboration with SRI International/Sarnoff has been developing monolithic CMOS detectors optimized for x-ray astronomy. Our latest detector consists of an array of 1k x 1k 16 mu m pixels manufactured on 15 mu m epitaxial Si. These detectors are designed to be packaged and thinned for back illumination. The devices have on-chip CDS and are optimized to have high (similar to 40 frame/sec) read-out rates. Such monolithic CMOS imaging sensors would be ideal candidate detectors for the focal planes of space-borne soft x-ray astronomy missions. The high through-put, low noise and excellent low energy response, provide high dynamic range and good time resolution; bright and time varying x-ray features could be temporally and spectrally resolved without saturation or photon pile-up.

ID MINIMUM INFORMATION
AB Building on the planning efforts of the RCN4GSC project, a workshop was convened in San Diego to bring together experts from genomics and metagenomics, biodiversity, ecology, and bioinformatics with the charge to identify potential for positive interactions and progress, especially building on successes at establishing data standards by the GSC and by the biodiversity and ecological communities. Until recently, the contribution of microbial life to the biomass and biodiversity of the biosphere was largely overlooked (because it was resistant to systematic study). Now, emerging genomic and metagenomic tools are making investigation possible. Initial research findings suggest that major advances are in the offing. Although different research communities share some overlapping concepts and traditions, they differ significantly in sampling approaches, vocabularies and workflows. Likewise, their definitions of 'fitness for use' for data differ significantly, as this concept stems from the specific research questions of most importance in the different fields. Nevertheless, there is little doubt that there is much to be gained from greater coordination and integration. As a first step toward interoperability of the information systems used by the different communities, participants agreed to conduct a case study on two of the leading data standards from the two formerly disparate fields: (a) GSC's standard checklists for genomics and metagenomics and (b) TDWG's Darwin Core standard, used primarily in taxonomy and systematic biology.

Juneau: Gastineau Channel, Thane Road (S Juneau; 58 degrees 16.9'N, 134 degrees 22.4'W)) and G. matanuska sp. n. (Alaska. Matanuska-Susitna: Palmer (Matanuska River; 61 degrees 36.5'N, 149 degrees 04.1'W)). We also clarify the status of previously described species, including those now discovered to have Holarctic distributions and/or for which sexual dimorphism was not appreciated and the species was described twice, including G. montana (Cresson) as a syn. n. of G. bohemanni (Becker). Two species, G. bella (Mathis), comb. n., and G. chiapas (Mathis), comb. n., are transferred from Ditrichophora to Gymnoclasiopa, and D. cana Cresson stat. rev. and D. canifrons Cresson, stat. rev. are returned to Ditrichophora, the genus in which Cresson originally described them. A neotype is designated for G. tacoma to stabilize the nomenclature of this species. The two excluded species, D. cana and D. canifrons, are diagnosed and distributional data are also provided. For all known New World species of Gymnoclasiopa, structures of the male terminalia are described for the first time and are fully illustrated. Detailed locality data and distribution maps are also included. To provide context and also to facilitate identification, diagnoses are included for the tribe Discocerinini and genus in addition to a key to the genera and species occurring in the New World.

LA English
DT Article
ID IRON METEORITES
AB The Goose Lake meteorite, a 2,573 lb (1,167 kg) iron, was found by three deer hunters on lava beds in the Modoc National Forest in northeast California in October, 1938. Although several California persons wanted possession of the meteorite for various California institutions, under the powers of the 1906 Antiquities Act meteorites found on US federal lands were typically transferred to the US National Museum at the Smithsonian Institution and accessioned into the National Collection of Meteorites. With authorization from the US Department of Agriculture, the Smithsonian began a correspondence with one of the meteorite's finders to arrange for its retrieval. But the situation became complicated and controversial when meteorite collector/dealer Harvey H. Nininger (1887-1986), who harboured hopes that the meteorite might be on a parcel of private land in the National Forest, falsely presented himself to the finder as a Smithsonian agent, and was taken to the site of the meteorite. A survey showed the meteorite was on federal land, however, and the Smithsonian reluctantly allowed Nininger to oversee its recovery. During the time that the meteorite was on loan from the Smithsonian and on exhibit at the San Francisco World's Fair, considerable pressure from various California individuals and institutions was put on the Smithsonian to keep the meteorite in California, but it was accessioned into the Smithsonian's National Collection of Meteorites and shipped to Washington, DC. The controversial history of the Goose Lake meteorite affirmed the applicability of the Antiquities Act with regard to the disposition of meteorites found on US federal lands, and set the stage for the later court rulings involving the Old Woman meteorite, a large (2,753 kg) iron found on government land in California in 1976. Problematic ownership issues like those involving the Goose Lake meteorite exist in other countries besides the United States, and in other branches of natural history, especially paleontology. The Goose Lake meteorite is famous for its numerous and enigmatic large holes and cavities, and is a popular attraction at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC.

AB Subfamily Spathelioideae of Rutaceae constitutes a well-supported early branching clade of eight small woody genera that were formerly assigned to five different Sapindalean /Rutalean families. This study brings together detailed wood anatomical information on all eight genera (for four the wood anatomy is described for the first time in detail). Wood anatomy strongly supports the inclusion of all Spathelioid genera in Rutaceae and underpins the molecular phylogeny with a set of interesting apomorphies at different nodes of the cladogram. The wood anatomy of Cneorum tricoccon with its semi-ring porosity, dendritic vessel pattern, vascular tracheids and helical vessel wall thickenings stands out in Spathelioideae. This wood anatomical syndrome is hypothesized to be due to adaptive evolution for hydraulic safety and efficiency of this species in a typical Mediterranean climate, where similar syndromes have evolved in many unrelated clades of woody dicots. In at least six unrelated genera of Rutaceae outside Spathelioideae from Mediterranean or cool temperate and montane climates, the syndrome has also evolved in presumably parallel, adaptive evolution.

AB Antimicrobial peptides naturally occur in a wide range of life forms including bacteria, fungi, plants and animals and represent an important component of their innate immunity systems. These peptides can inhibit the growth of animal and plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi. Designed synthetic peptides based on the structure of naturally occurring peptides have been shown to inhibit the growth of animal and plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi. In this chapter we report the engineering of T. cacao plants to express synthetic peptides and the in planta effects on the damage (necrosis) caused by two important oomycete pathogens of this crop. Theobroma cacao transgenic lines expressing synthetic peptides D5C and pD4E1 exhibited less foliar damage by pathogen Phytophthora capsici and P. palmivora than wild type cacao. We discuss the potential effects of antimicrobial peptides on non-pathogenic symbiotic microorganisms of plants e.g. mychorrizae and endophytes.

AB This study was designed to test the hypothesis that an immunoreactive chorionic gonadotropin (CG)-like substance is present in full-term dolphin placentas and to determine if CG immunoreactivity can be detected in corresponding serum and urine samples for potential application to diagnose pregnancy. Six placentas were collected immediately after parturition from four captive bottlenose dolphins in 2003, 2007 (Experiment 1), and 2011 (Experiment 2). Serum and urine were collected during early, middle, and late pregnancy from the same dolphins. In Experiment 1, an eCG radioimmunoassay (RIA) was used to analyze dilutions of supernatants from the homogenates of each placenta for eCG immunoreactivity, and a commercial hCG Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to analyze individual serum samples and dilutions of pools of serum and urine for hCG immunoreactivity. Specific CG immunore-activity was not detected above assay sensitivities in any of the supernatants of respective placental homogenates, including the highest concentrate (100 mg/mL), nor in any of the individual samples and pools of serum and urine. In Experiment 2, the highest placental homogenate was increased five-fold (500 mg/mL), sensitivity of the eCG RIA was increased six-fold, and a different combination of hCG antibodies was used in an alternative commercial "sandwich"-type ELISA. Despite the optimization, specific CG immunoreactivity in placental tissue and individual serum and urine samples was not detected above assay sensitivities. In conclusion, the hypothesis that an immunoreactive CG-like substance is present in full-term dolphin placentas was not supported. In addition, non-immunoreactivity of a CG-like substance in serum and urine samples collected during various stages of pregnancy precluded the development and application of a CG-based immunoassay for diagnosing pregnancy status in dolphins.

The Keck Array follows the success of the predecessor experiments BICEP and BICEP2,1 using five on-axis refracting telescopes. These have a combined imaging array of 2500 antenna-coupled TES bolometers read with a SQUID-based time domain multiplexing system. We will discuss the detector noise and the optimization of the readout. The achieved sensitivity of the Keck Array is 11.5 mu K-CMB root s in the 2012 configuration.

AB The BICEP2 and Keck Array experiments are designed to measure the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) on angular scales of 2-4 degrees (l=50-100). This is the region in which the B-mode signal, a signature prediction of cosmic inflation, is expected to peak. BICEP2 was deployed to the South Pole at the end of 2009 and is in the middle of its third year of observing with 500 polarization-sensitive detectors at 150 GHz. The Keck Array was deployed to the South Pole at the end of 2010, initially with three receivers-each similar to BICEP2. An additional two receivers have been added during the 2011-12 summer. We give an overview of the two experiments, report on substantial gains in the sensitivity of the two experiments after post-deployment optimization, and show preliminary maps of CMB polarization from BICEP2.

AB The Keck Array (SPUD) is a set of microwave polarimeters that observes from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search of a signature of Inflation imprinted as B-mode polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The first three Keck Array receivers were deployed during the 2010-2011 Austral summer, followed by two new receivers in the 2011-2012 summer season, completing the full five-receiver array. All five receivers are currently observing at 150 GHz. The Keck Array employs the field-proven BICEP/BICEP2 strategy of using small, cold, on-axis refractive optics, providing excellent control of systematics while maintaining a large field of view. This design allows for full characterization of far-field optical performance using microwave sources on the ground. We describe our efforts to characterize the main beam shape and beam shape mismatch between co-located orthogonally-polarized detector pairs, and discuss the implications of measured differential beam parameters on temperature to polarization leakage in CMB analysis

AB The monotreme genus Zaglossus, the largest egg-laying mammal, comprises several endangered taxa today known only from New Guinea. Zaglossus is considered to be extinct in Australia, where its apparent occurrence (in addition to the large echidna genus Megalibgwilia) is recorded by Pleistocene fossil remains, as well as from convincing representations in Aboriginal rock art from Arnhem Land (Northern Territory). Here we report on the existence and history of a well documented but previously overlooked museum specimen (skin and skull) of the Western Long-Beaked Echidna (Zaglossus bruijnii) collected by John T. Tunney at Mount Anderson in the West Kimberley region of northern Western Australia in 1901, now deposited in the Natural History Museum, London. Possible accounts from living memory of Zaglossus are provided by Aboriginal inhabitants from Kununurra in the East Kimberley. We conclude that, like Tachyglossus, Zaglossus is part of the modern fauna of the Kimberley region of Western Australia, where it apparently survived as a rare element into the twentieth century, and may still survive.

ID MIRROR SEGMENTS; KECK TELESCOPES; ALGORITHM
AB Achieving the diffraction limit with the adaptive optics system of the 25m Giant Magellan Telescope will require that the 7 pairs of mirror segments be in phase. Phasing the GMT is made difficult because of the 30-40cm gaps between the primary mirror segments. These large gaps result in atmospheric induced phase errors making optical phasing difficult at visible wavelengths. The large gaps between the borosilicate mirror segments also make an edge sensing system prone to thermally induced instability. We describe an optical method that uses twelve 1.5-m square subapertures that span the segment boundaries. The light from each subaperture is mapped onto a MEMS mirror segment and then a lenslet array which are used to stabilize the atmospherically induced image motion. Centroids for stabilization are measured at 700nm. The piston error is measured from the fringes visible in each of the 12 stabilized images at 2.2 microns. By dispersing the fringes we can resolve 2 pi phase ambiguities. We are constructing a prototype camera to be deployed at the 6.5m Magellan Clay telescope.

DE optics; performance
AB NASA/MSFC and SAO have developed a High Resolution EUV Solar Coronal Imaging telescope (Hi-C). The scientific objective of the mission is to determine, at higher spatial resolution than previously available, the geometric configuration and topology of the structures making up the inner corona. The Hi-C telescope launched on a rocket in early July 2012. It acts as a technology pathfinder for future satellite based missions.
Key technology features of the Hi-C telescope are:
A 23.9 meter focal length, allowing for 0.1 arc-second pixels
Extremely high quality optics
Single wavelength multi-layer coating over the entire surface of each optic
Low distortion approach to mounting the primary into the telescope
The low distortion approach to mounting the primary mirror into the telescope is discussed in this paper.
In previous solar EUV telescopes (TRACE, AIA, IRIS) the primary mirror is first bonded into a flexured mirror cell that is then bolted into the telescope. Techniques for bonding the mirror into the mirror cell have been well developed. If done properly, these techniques produce minimal distortion in the optic. Experience has shown, however, that bolting of the cell into the telescope produces distortions, typically in the form of astigmatism. The magnitude of the astigmatism may be acceptable for lower resolution missions, but as we approach ever higher resolutions, these astigmatisms contribute significantly to the error budget. In the Hi-C mission the mirror mounting hardware was completely assembled into the telescope tube prior to bonding the mirror to the mount. This final operation was done with the telescope tube vertical and the primary mirror surface facing up. This approach minimizes the "bolt-up" distortions typically seen, thus improving resolution.

ID VARIABILITY; FRACTION
AB Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars probe the high-velocity gas ejected by luminous accreting black holes. BAL variability timescales place constraints on the size, location, and dynamics of the emitting and absorbing gas near the supermassive black hole. We present multi-epoch spectroscopy of seventeen BAL QSOs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory's 1.5m telescope's FAST Spectrograph. These objects were identified as BALs in SDSS, observed with Chandra, and then monitored with FAST at observed-frame cadences of 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81 days, as well as 1 and 2 years. We also monitor a set of non-BAL quasars with matched redshift and luminosity as controls. We identify significant variability in the BALs, particularly at the 1 and 2 year cadences, and use its magnitude and frequency to constrain the outflows impacting the broad absorption line region.

AB All quasar spectra show the same atomic features in the optical, UV, near-IR and soft X-rays over all of cosmic time, luminosity black hole mass and accretion rate. This is a puzzle. Here I show that it is possible that all of these atomic features can be accounted for by gas from an accretion disk driven the three forms of radiation pressure: electron scattering, line driving and dust driving. The locations where they successfully drive an escaping wind, and those where they produce only a failed wind are both needed.

ID DEEP CHANDRA ACIS; REGION
AB We report on the deep Chandra ACIS imaging spectroscopic observations of the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4151, as part of a systematic effort to improve our understanding of AGN outflows and feedback to their host galaxies. Structured soft Xray emission is observed to extend from 30 pc to 1.5 kpc. We confirm the dominant role of nuclear photoionization, but also find strong evidence for jet-gas cloud interaction in the inner 150 pc region. The presence of extended emission in the X-ray image perpendicular to the bi-cone indicating leakage of nuclear ionization along the torus. The kinematic power of the outflow in NGC 4151 is measured to be approximately 0.3% of its bolometric luminosity, which is at least an order of magnitude lower than the values required in most AGN feedback models.

AB While phagotrophy is reported for a number of phytoflagellates, the factors that influence feeding are known for only a few species. We examined the effects of nutrients, irradiance, and time of day on ingestion rate by field populations of the mixotrophic dinoflagellate Neoceratium furca. In nutrient addition assays, N. furca consistently showed a significant reduction in feeding when inorganic nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) were added together. Responses to separate N or P addition varied, with ingestion rates decreasing, increasing, or remaining unaltered depending on which nutrient was potentially limiting, as indicated by inorganic nutrient concentrations. Feeding was also influenced by light and was often highest at or below irradiance levels comparable to those experienced by cells at time of collection. Darkness and/or high irradiance sometimes led to a decrease in feeding, possibly due to reduced nutrient demand or photoinhibition. Ingestion rates of N. furca over the course of a day showed distinct but conflicting diel feeding patterns. While feeding increased during the day in one experiment, ingestion rates were higher at night in the other. These patterns were likely a direct response to the changing light environment over the course of the day, as they agreed well with findings for the same N. furca populations during the corresponding light level experiments. Results from both nutrient addition and light level experiments confirm that N. furca employed phagotrophy primarily as an alternative means of obtaining limiting nutrients rather than carbon.

AB We describe the Chipalamawamba Beds, early to middle Holocene deposits at the southern margin of long-lived Lake Malawi. The beds are exposed because of down-cutting of the upper Shire River. The Chipalamawamba sediments are medium to coarse, yellow to brown sands deposited in lenses varying in horizontal extent from a few meters to several hundreds of meters. Four units are recognized; the first three mainly contain lacustrine sediments deposited during lake high stands about 10.6-9.7 cal ka BP (Unit 1), 7.6-6.5 cal ka BP (Unit 2) and 5.9-5.3 cal ka BP (Unit 3). Sediments of Unit 4 overlay Units 1 to 3, are coarser and display regular foresets and oblique-bedding, suggesting deposition in riverine environments after installation of the Shire River (similar to 5.5-5.0 ka BP). Freshwater mollusk assemblages and bioturbation regularly occur in the lacustrine sediments, but are largely absent from Unit 4. Diverse and often contradicting hypotheses on the lake levels of Lake Malawi have been proposed for the early and middle Holocene. The Chipalamawamba Beds allow straightforward recognition of water levels and provide strong evidence for oscillating lake levels during this period, rather than continuous high or low levels. Sedimentation rates have been high and individual shell beds have typically been deposited during a few decades. Because the Chipalamawamba Beds contain a sequence of mollusk assemblages with intervals between subsequent shell beds ranging from a century to a few millennia, they enable paleontological analysis of the fauna with an unusually high temporal resolution. That some mollusk lineages inhabiting Lake Malawi are in the early stages of diversification and radiation increases the paleobiological relevance of these beds.

AB The ASTEP program is dedicated to exo-planet transit search from the Concordia Station located at Dome C, Antarctica. It comprises two instruments: a fixed 10cm refractor pointed toward the celestial South Pole, and a 400mm Newton telescope with a 1x1 degree field of view. This work focuses on the latter instrument. It has been installed in November 2009, and has been observing since then during the two polar winters 2010 and 2011. After presenting the main science observing programs, we review the telescope installation, performance, and describe its operating conditions as well as the data reduction and handling strategy. The resulting lightcurves are generally very stable and of excellent quality, as shown by continuous observations of WASP-19 that we present here.

AB We report the first measurements of 225 GHz atmospheric opacity at Summit Camp (Latitude 72 degrees.57 N; Longitude 38 degrees.46 W; Altitude 3250 m) in Greenland and the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL: Latitude 80 degrees.05 N; Longitude 86 degrees.42 W; Altitude 600 m) in Northern Canada with a tipping radiometer. Summit Camp and PEARL are research stations mostly interested in meteorology and geophysics, and they are potentially excellent sites for astronomical observations at sub-millimeter wavelength. We purchased a tipping radiometer from Radiometer Physics GmbH. After a test run at the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii, the radiometer was deployed to PEARL in February 2011, and relocated to Summit Camp in August 2011. The atmospheric opacity has been monitored from February 14th to May 10th, 2011 at PEARL and since August 2011 at Summit Camp. The median values of the measured opacity at PEARL ranged from 0.11 in February to 0.19 in May; Summit Camp varied in the range from 0.04 to 0.18 between August 2011 and May 2012. Summit Camp in Greenland is expected to be an excellent site for sub-millimeter and Terahertz astronomy, and we plan to set up there a 12-m telescope for VLBI and single-dish observations.

AB In the spring of 2010, the Academia Sinica Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, acquired the ALMA North America prototype antenna - a state-of-the-art 12-m diameter dish designed for submillimeter astronomy. Together with the MIT-Haystack Observatory and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, the plan is to retrofit this antenna for cold-weather operation and equip it with a suite of instruments designed for a variety of scientific experiments and observations. The primary scientific goal is to image the shadow of the Super-Massive Black Hole in M87 in order to test Einstein's theory of relativity under extreme gravity. This requires the highest angular resolution, which can only be achieved by linking this antenna with others already in place to form a telescope almost the size of the Earth. We are therefore developing plans to install this antenna at the peak of the Greenland ice-sheet. This location will produce an equivalent North-South separation of almost 9,000 km when linked to the ALMA telescope in Northern Chile, and an East-West separation of about 6,000 km when linked to SAO and ASIAA's Submillimeter Array on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and will provide an angular resolution almost 1000 times higher than that of the most powerful optical telescopes. Given the quality of the atmosphere at the proposed telescope location, we also plan to make observations in the atmospheric windows at 1.3 and 1.5 THz. We will present plans to retrofit the telescope for cold-weather operation, and discuss potential instrumentation and projected time-line.

AB VERITAS (Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System) is an array of atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes sensitive to very high energy (VHE) gamma-rays above 100 GeV. Located at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory in southern Arizona, USA, the VERITAS array of four 12m-diameter telescopes began full operation in September 2007. Two major upgrades, the relocation of telescope 1 in Summer 2009 and the upgrade of the level-2 trigger in Fall 2011, made VERITAS the most sensitive VHE instrument in the northern hemisphere. The VERITAS Collaboration consists of scientists from institutions in the USA, Canada, Germany and Ireland. VERITAS is performing observations that cover a broad range of science topics, including the study of galactic and extragalactic astrophysical sources of VHE radiation and the study of particle astrophysics, such as the indirect search for dark matter in astrophysical environments. The VERITAS observational campaigns resulted in the detection of 40 VHE sources, including the discovery of 20 new VHE gamma-ray emitting sources. Here we summarize the current status of the observatory, describe the recent scientific highlights and outline plans for the future.

AB The VERITAS array of 12-m atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes in southern Arizona began full-scale operations in 2007, and is one of the world's most-sensitive detectors of astrophysical VHE (E> 100 GeV) gamma-rays. Approximately 50 blazars are known to emit VHE photons, and observations of blazars are a major focus of the VERITAS Collaboration. Nearly 2000 hours have been devoted to this program and similar to 130 blazars have already been observed with the array, in most cases with the deepest-ever VHE exposure. These observations have resulted in 21 detections, including 10 VHE discoveries. Recent highlights of the VERITAS blazar observation program, and the collaboration's long-term blazar observation strategy, are presented.

AB The BL Lac objects Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 are objects of a large multi-year multi-instrument campaign including VLBA, F-GAMMA, GASP-WEBT, Swift, RXTE, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC and VERITAS, among other instruments and collaborations. This extensive radio to TeV gamma-ray dataset provides an unprecedented temporal and energy coverage, which allows for detailed studies of the evolution of their broad-band spectral energy distribution that cannot be achieved on any other BL Lac object. We report on the temporal variability and spectral correlations from the 4.5 months-long campaigns of 2009. We show that Mrk 421 and Mrk 501 have differences in their broad band variability, suggesting different mechanisms for the production of the high-energy emission. In addition, we also report on two events of high activity in very high energies (VHE) of Mrk 501 during May 2009, one of which was not accompanied by enhanced optical/X-ray activity but showed a clear correlation with an increase in the polarized optical flux and a rotation of the polarization vector. This is the first time that such type of flaring activity is observed in a high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac object.

AB We present a study on the structure of quiescent filament channels observed by Hinode/XRT and STEREO/EUVI from December 2006 to February 2009. For 10 channels identified on the solar disk, we find that the emission on the two sides of the channel is asymmetric in both X-rays and EUV: one side has curved bright features while the other side has straight faint features. We interpret the results in terms of a magnetic flux rope model. The asymmetry in the emission is due to the variation in axial magnetic flux along the channel, which causes one polarity to turn into the flux rope, while the field lines from the other polarity are open or connected to very distant sources. For 70 channels identified by cavities at the limb, the asymmetry cannot be clearly identified.

AB We use multi-filter contemporaneous XRT and EIS observations of a small active region to study the spatial and thermal properties of an isolated quiescent loop. We study the loop as a whole, in segments, in transverse cuts, and point-by-point, always with some form of "background" subtraction. We find the loop DEM is not-isothermal, but is also not extremely broad, with approximate to 96% of the EM between 6.2 <= log T <= 6.7, and an EM-weighted average temperature of < log T > = 6.48 +/- 0.16. There is some evidence for a gradual change in temperature along the loop, with < log T > increasing by approximate to 0.1 from the foot points to the peak. Including EIS data helps better constrain the EM at low T. Future work includes combining the analysis with contemporaneous RHESSI data and to explore XRT-EIS-RHESSI cross-calibration at AR temperatures.

AB Much work has been done in characterizing the nonthermal particle beams found in flares. Most of this work has concentrated on the interpretation of hard X-ray (HXR) emission. While HXR emission does have a direct connection to the nonthermal particle beam, there are other emission mechanisms that can also provide insight into the nature of the nonthermal beam. In the impulsive phase of solar flares the primary source of plasma heating is collisions between the nonthermal particles and the ambient, thermal plasma in the flare loop. The properties of the nonthermal particle beam directly affect the heating of the thermal plasma. Thus the thermal emission (e.g., soft X-rays) can also yield clues to the properties of the nonthermal beam. Recent flare modeling in the dissertation of Winter (2009) makes specific predictions about the behavior of the soft X-ray (SXR) emission from the flaring loop, depending on the properties of the nonthermal particle beam. As an initial test of the applicability of these predictions to real flares, we have undertaken a comparison to HXR and SXR observations from the Yohkoh mission. We present preliminary results from the analysis of Yohkoh-observed solar flares, which show consistent temporal profiles in the apex to footpoint ratio.

AB We discuss Hinode XRT observations of temporally-related emission enhancements in solar X-ray bright points (XBPs) consistent with excitation by an otherwise unseen wave. In one case, the wave source is unclear (out of the field of view), in the other which we report here, the wave seems to be excited by a flaring/erupting XBP. In this latter case, the wave velocity averaged similar to 340 km s(-1) in areas of quiet Sun emission, but was reduced by similar to 1/3 in areas of higher emission and magnetic flux density. Larger loops were mostly unaffected by the wave's passage, while XBPs could still be excited at distances of 10(5) km and more from the apparent origin. Small coronal dimming regions (displaying characteristic evolution properties in EUV intensity) are seen next to the flaring XBP, suggesting a small CME may have been associated with the event. We speculate on the origin and properties of these mysterious waves, which may prove useful tools for studying the media through which they travel. These events are inconspicuous, showing low intensity enhancements of only selected small regions, and require high cadence, high spatial resolution data to be detected. Since they are easily overlooked and/or confused with stochastic variability, these waves may be a fairly common, but under-recognized component of the flare/CME phenomenon at small energies and spatial scales. SDO's AIA should be very useful in further study of these waves.

AB Biodiversity of tropical Saturniidae, as measured through traditionally described and catalogued species, strongly risks pooling cryptic species under one name. We examined the DNA barcodes, morphology, habitus and ecology of 32 'well known' species of dry forest saturniid moths from Area de Conservacion Guanacaste (ACG) in north-western Costa Rica and found that they contain as many as 49 biological entities that are probably separate species. The most prominent splitting of traditional species - Eacles imperialis, Automeris zugana, Automeris tridens, Othorene verana, Hylesia dalina, Dirphia avia, Syssphinx molina, Syssphinx colla, and Syssphinx quadrilineata - is where one species was believed to breed in dry forest and rain forest, but is found to be two biological entities variously distinguishable by DNA barcodes and morphology, habitus, and/or microecological distribution. This implies that 'standard' biological information about each traditional species may be an unconscious mix of interspecific information, and begs renewed DNA barcoding, closer attention to so-called intraspecific variation, and increased museum collection and curation of specimens from more individual and ecologically characterised sites - as well as eventually more species descriptions. Simultaneously, this inclusion of sibling species as individual entities in biodiversity studies, rather than pooled under one traditional name, reduces the degree of ecological and evolutionary generalisation perceived by the observer.

AB Improving the precision of observational astronomy requires not only new telescopes and instrumentation, but also advances in observing protocols, calibrations and data analysis. The Laser Applications Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland has been applying advances in detector metrology and tunable laser calibrations to problems in astronomy since 2007. Using similar measurement techniques, we have addressed a number of seemingly disparate issues: precision flux calibration for broad-band imaging, precision wavelength calibration for high-resolution spectroscopy, and precision PSF mapping for fiber spectrographs of any resolution. In each case, we rely on robust, commercially-available laboratory technology that is readily adapted to use at an observatory. In this paper, we give an overview of these techniques.

AB The 2010 Decadal Survey of Astronomy & Astrophysics found the science of the International X-ray Observatory (IXO) compelling, noting that "Large-aperture, time-resolved, high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy is required for future progress on all of these fronts, and this is what IXO can deliver." In line with Decadal recommendations to reduce cost while maintaining core capabilities, we have developed the Advanced X-ray Spectroscopy and Imaging Observatory (AXSIO). AXSIO reduces IXO's six instruments to two fixed detectors - the imaging X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectrometer and the X-ray Grating Spectrometer. These instruments allow AXSIO to accomplish most of the IXO science goals at a significantly reduced complexity and cost. We present an overview of the AXSIO mission science drivers, its optics and instrumental capabilities, the status of its technology development programs, and the mission implementation approach.

AB We discuss the details of the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) telescope primary mirror assembly design compared to its predecessor used in the Solar Dynamics Observatory Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO-AIA) telescopes. Also included are details of the structural modeling and analysis, mirror optical surface modeling, vibration analysis, and a detailed description of the optical performance verification test program and results.
The primary mirror assembly of the IRIS telescope was adapted from an existing design used on the SDO-AIA telescopes. The IRIS telescope was optimized for performance at 1369 angstrom and 2810 angstrom with a required 0.4 arc-second resolution calling for a significant improvement to the mounted mirror optical surface quality over the existing SDO-AIA design.
To improve the optical performance, the proven bonded flexure heritage design was augmented with a novel "kinematic" mount used to secure the assembly to the telescope tube. The 200mm diameter concave mirror was fabricated from Corning ULE (R) Code 7973 EUV Premium Grade, Ultra Low Expansion Glass material and polished to better than 12 angstrom RMS surface roughness. The mirror is supported by three bonded titanium flexures fastened to a rigid titanium cell plate. A 25 angstrom RMS figure error was allocated in the error budget for the mounted, coated primary mirror. The first mode resonance for the mirror was specified to be >100 Hz while surviving an expected launch load of 30G's. The mirror assembly was designed to operate from +14 degrees C to +26 degrees C with survival limits specified at -20 degrees C to +35 degrees C.

AB This paper presents the overall thermal design of the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) telescope with focused descriptions of the primary mirror thermal design, telescope active thermal control system, ULE (R) mirror substrate thermal properties, and the thermal math model supporting the thermal design. The challenge of the IRIS primary mirror thermal design was to manage the un-filtered solar flux that directly impinges on the optical substrate, while maintaining the mirror within a narrow range of temperatures throughout the mission life. This thermal problem is compounded by a change in the absorption properties of ULE over time, due to UV light.

AB We report on our continuing efforts to compare the absolute effective areas of the current generation of CCD instruments onboard the active observatories, specifically: Chandra ACIS, XMM-Newton EPIC (MOS and pn), Suzaku XIS, and Swift XRT, using 1E 0102.2-7219, the brightest supernova remnant in the Small Magellanic Cloud. 1E 0102.2-7219 has strong lines of O, Ne, and Mg below 1.5 keV and little Fe emission to complicate the spectrum. The spectrum of 1E 0102.2-7219 has been well-characterized using the RGS grating instrument on XMM-Newton and the HETG grating instrument on Chandra. We have developed an empirical model that includes Gaussians for the identified lines, an absorption component in the Galaxy, another absorption component in the SMC, and two continuum components with different temperatures. In our fits, the model is highly constrained in that only the normalizations of the four brightest line complexes (the OVII triplet, OVIII Ly alpha line, the NeIX triplet, and the NeX Ly alpha) and an overall normalization are allowed to vary, while all other components are fixed. We adopted this approach to provide a straightforward comparison of the measured line fluxes at these four energies. We find that the measured fluxes of the OVII triplet, the OVIII Ly alpha line, the NeIX triplet, and the NeX Ly alpha line generally agree to within +/-10% for all instruments, with the exception of the OVII triplet and the OVIII Ly alpha line normalizations for the Suzaku XIS1, XIS2, & XIS3, and the Swift XRT, which can be up to 20% lower compared to the reference model.

AB This paper discusses the design of the IRIS Small Explorer (SMEX) Cassegrain telescope, as well as its intended and measured performance. Lockheed Martin, along with SAO, Montana State University, and Stanford University are developing the IRIS instrument for a mission to examine the solar spectra in two bands, one centered on 1369 angstrom, and the other centered on 2810 angstrom. SAO led the design and construction of the telescope feed, with assistance from Lockheed and Montana State University.
The telescope posed a number of implementation challenges, which are discussed here, including the fact that no effective filters exist to isolate the science spectra to the exclusion of the rest of the solar flux, making it necessary to allow full sunlight into the telescope.

AB We report on technical progress made over the past year developing thin film piezoelectric adjustable grazing incidence optics. We believe such mirror technology represents a solution to the problem of developing lightweight, sub-arc second imaging resolution X-ray optics. Such optics will be critical to the development next decade of astronomical X-ray observatories such as SMART-X, the Square Meter Arc Second Resolution X-ray Telescope. SMART-X is the logical heir to Chandra, with 30 times the collecting area and Chandra-like imaging resolution, and will greatly expand the discovery space opened by Chandra's exquisite imaging resolution.
In this paper we discuss deposition of thin film piezoelectric material on flat glass mirrors. For the first time, we measured the local figure change produced by energizing a piezo cell - the influence function, and showed it is in good agreement with finite element modeled predictions. We determined that at least one mirror substrate material is suitably resistant to piezoelectric deposition processing temperatures, meaning the amplitude of the deformations introduced is significantly smaller than the adjuster correction dynamic range. Also, using modeled influence functions and IXO-based mirror figure errors, the residual figure error was predicted post-correction. The impact of the residual figure error on imaging performance, including any mid-frequency ripple introduced by the corrections, was modeled. These, and other, results are discussed, as well as future technology development plans.

After reading the responses and participating in a community workshop, the team identified a number of candidate mission concepts, including one combining advances in large-area precision optics with new X-ray microcalorimeter technology. However, the exact mission requirements (effective area, field of view, point spread function, etc) were not fixed. We will present a range of mission designs, describing the results of the NASA/GSFC Mission Design Lab study of one possible mission along with available deltas that would increase capability or decrease cost.

AB The uncertainties associated with the wet removal of aerosols entrained above convective cloud bases are investigated in a global aerosol-climate model (ECHAM5-HAM) under a set of limiting assumptions for the wet removal of the entrained aerosols. The limiting assumptions for the wet removal of entrained aerosols are negligible scavenging and vigorous scavenging (either through activation, with size-dependent impaction scavenging, or with the prescribed fractions of the standard model). To facilitate this process-based study, an explicit representation of cloud-droplet-borne and ice-crystal-borne aerosol mass and number, for the purpose of wet removal, is introduced into the ECHAM5-HAM model. This replaces and is compared with the prescribed cloud-droplet-borne and ice-crystal-borne aerosol fraction scavenging scheme of the standard model.
A 20% to 35% uncertainty in simulated global, annual mean aerosol mass burdens and optical depth (AOD) is attributed to different assumptions for the wet removal of aerosols entrained above convective cloud bases. Assumptions about the removal of aerosols entrained above convective cloud bases control modeled upper tropospheric aerosol concentrations by as much as one order of magnitude.
Simulated aerosols entrained above convective cloud bases contribute 20% to 50% of modeled global, annual mean aerosol mass convective wet deposition (about 5% to 10% of the total dry and wet deposition), depending on the aerosol species, when including wet scavenging of those entrained aerosols (either by activation, size-dependent impaction, or with the prescribed fraction scheme). Among the simulations, the prescribed fraction and size-dependent impaction schemes yield the largest global, annual mean aerosol mass convective wet deposition (by about two-fold). However, the prescribed fraction scheme has more vigorous convective mixed-phase wet removal (by two to five-fold relative to the size-dependent impaction scheme) since nearly all entrained accumulation and coarse mode aerosols are assumed to be cloud-droplet borne or ice-crystal borne, and evaporation due to the Bergeron-Findeisen process is neglected.
The simulated convective wet scavenging of entrained accumulation and coarse mode aerosols has feedbacks on new particle formation and the number of Aitken mode aerosols, which control stratiform and convective cloud droplet number concentrations and yield precipitation changes in the ECHAM5-HAM model. However, the geographic distribution of aerosol annual mean convective wet deposition change in the model is driven by changes to the assumptions regarding the scavenging of aerosols entrained above cloud bases rather than by precipitation changes, except for sea salt deposition in the tropics. Uncertainty in the seasonal, regional cycles of AOD due to assumptions about entrained aerosol wet scavenging is similar in magnitude to the estimated error in the AOD retrievals.
The uncertainty in aerosol concentrations, burdens, and AOD attributed to different assumptions for the wet scavenging of aerosols entrained above convective cloud bases in a global model motivates the ongoing need to better understand and model the activation and impaction processes that aerosols undergo after entrainment into convective updrafts.

AB The impact of very short-lived (VSL) halogenated source species on the ozone layer and surface erythemal ultraviolet radiation (UVERY) is investigated in the context of geo-engineering of climate by stratospheric sulfur injection. For a projected 2040 model atmosphere, consideration of VSL halogens at their upper limit results in lower ozone columns and higher UVERY due to geo-engineering for nearly all seasons and latitudes, with UVERY rising by 12% and 6% in southern and northern high latitudes, respectively. When VSL halogen sources are neglected, future UVERY increases due to declines in ozone column are nearly balanced by reductions of UVERY due to scattering by the higher stratospheric aerosol burden in mid-latitudes. Consideration of VSL sources at their upper limit tips the balance, resulting in annual average increases in UVERY of up to 5% in mid and high latitudes. Therefore, VSL halogens should be considered in models that assess the impact of stratospheric sulfur injections on the ozone layer.

AB Atmospheric concentrations of inorganic gases and aerosols (nitrate, sulfate, and ammonium) are simulated for 2009 over the United States using the chemical transport model GEOS-Chem. Predicted aerosol concentrations are compared with surface-level measurement data from the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE), the Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNET), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Sulfate predictions nationwide are in reasonably good agreement with observations, while nitrate and ammonium are over-predicted in the East and Midwest, but under-predicted in California, where observed concentrations are the highest in the country. Over-prediction of nitrate in the East and Midwest is consistent with results of recent studies, which suggest that nighttime nitric acid formation by heterogeneous hydrolysis of N2O5 is over-predicted based on current values of the N2O5 uptake coefficient, gamma, onto aerosols. After reducing the value of gamma by a factor of 10, predicted nitrate levels in the US Midwest and East still remain higher than those measured, and over-prediction of nitrate in this region remains unexplained. Comparison of model predictions with satellite measurements of ammonia from the Tropospheric Emissions Spectrometer (TES) indicates that ammonia emissions in GEOS-Chem are underestimated in California and that the nationwide seasonality applied to ammonia emissions in GEOS-Chem does not represent California very well, particularly underestimating winter emissions. An ammonia sensitivity study indicates that GEOS-Chem simulation of nitrate is ammonia-limited in southern California and much of the state, suggesting that an underestimate of ammonia emissions is likely the main cause for the under-prediction of nitrate aerosol in many areas of California. An approximate doubling of ammonia emissions is needed to reproduce observed nitrate concentrations in southern California and in other ammonia sensitive areas of California. However, even a tenfold increase in ammonia emissions yields predicted nitrate concentrations that are still biased low in the central valley of California. The under-prediction of nitrate aerosol in the central valley of California may arise in part from an under-prediction of both ammonia and nitric acid in this region. Since nitrate aerosols are particularly sensitive to mixed layer depths, owing to the gas-particle equilibrium, the nitrate under-prediction could also arise in part from a potential regional overestimate of GEOS-5 mixed layer depths in the central valley due to unresolved topography in this region.

AB Assessing the impact of astronomical facilities rests upon an evaluation of the scientific discoveries which their data have enabled. Telescope bibliographies, which link data products with the literature, provide a way to use bibliometrics as an impact measure for the underlying data. In this paper we argue that the creation and maintenance of telescope bibliographies should be considered an integral part of an observatory's operations. We review the existing tools, services, and workflows which support these curation activities, giving an estimate of the effort and expertise required to maintain an archive-based telescope bibliography.

AB The science instruments on-board the Chandra X-ray Observatory may be damaged by high fluxes of energetic particles produced in Solar storms. For twelve years the on-board commanding used to safe the instruments when a high-radiation environment was identified included stopping all on-board scheduled activity. Over this time the conditions of the observatory have changed: the orbit has evolved to lower perigee and the thermal protective surfaces have degraded. The likelihood of an unplanned unload of spacecraft angular momentum, a spacecraft component exceeding thermal limits, or an eclipse passage without planned commanding occurring following a Solar storm during the upcoming Solar-maximum due to the lack of scheduled commanding led us to update the Chandra response to a high-radiation environment; commands are sent to safe the science instruments but vehicle related commanding (maneuvers, angular-momentum unloads, eclipse commands) are allowed to continue. While this was a conceptually simple change, it touched all elements of the program, including flight software, the planning and commanding systems, flight-load verification tools, and ground-based data processing. A key to successful and timely implementation was the establishment of a working group with representation from all elements of the program.

This paper will present the results of a new survey that reveals how individual observatories manage bibliographies as well as their motivations behind them. We will examine such factors as: criteria for paper inclusion, metadata collected, staff involved, inter-operability, and other aspects particular to bibliographies. Finally, we learn how these data are analyzed by these facilities. In sum, the survey results characterize methods and motivations currently at work in astronomical facilities.

ID ASTRONOMICAL FACILITIES; PRODUCTIVITY; IMPACT
AB Observatories have wrestled for decades with the questions how to measure their importance to the astronomical community, what their scientific impact is, and how their performance in that respect compares to that of other observatories. There is a general sense that the answer is to be found in the publication record - specifically, in the refereed journal articles. However, simple parameters (such as the number of papers) are not helpful, because in isolation (applied to a single observatory) they are meaningless, while in comparison between observatories they are subject to external influences that all but invalidate the comparisons.
We were fortunate in having the Chandra X-ray Observatory's bibliographic database with its rich variety of metadata available as a resource for experimenting with more sophisticated metrics. Out of this project we propose a modest set that contains meaningful information when viewed in the isolation of a single observatory as well as in comparison with other observatories. Even so, we urge users not to draw conclusions on the basis of the face value of the comparisons, but only after a serious analysis of potential causes for any differences or similarities. We have designed our metrics to provide useful information in three main areas of interest: speed of publication; fraction of observing time published; and archival usage. The basic measured parameters are the percentage of available observing time published as a function of the data's age, at a few specific age values; the median time it takes to publish observations; and similar parameters for multiple publications of the same observations. Citation of results is a fourth category, but it does not lend itself well to comparisons and defies the search for definite statements.

DE observatory; bibliography; publications; metadata
AB Creating and maintaining an observatory bibliography is labor intensive, but the results can be used for more than accounting purposes. The information gathered during the curating process can be used by data discovery and research tools as well; the key is to collect sufficient metadata during the publication classification phase. The Chandra X-ray Center has taken this approach from the inception of its bibliography and we now have an interconnected web of links which lead researchers to the Chandra Data Archive from many sources.
We provide links between datasets and astronomical publications to the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) so users of the ADS can directly access Chandra data associated with a publication. Those same links are used by WebChaser, the Chandra data access tool, so users can directly access articles associated with the data they are reviewing. We are expanding our exchange with the ADS to include details about the observations, proposals and bibliographic classifications related to the data in publications. This information will be used by the ADS to provide new semantic literature search capabilities. These interactions with the ADS and WebChaser have improved scientists' ability to discover Chandra data in meaningful ways.
In this paper we will cover how the Chandra bibliography has grown over the years and the many ways we have used our bibliography metadata for statistics, user services, and data discovery aids.

AB The next generation of large X-ray telescopes with sub-arcsecond resolution will require very thin, highly nested grazing incidence optics. To correct the low order figure errors resulting from initial manufacture, the mounting process, and the effects of going from 1 g during ground alignment to zero g on-orbit, we plan to adjust the shapes via piezoelectric "cells" deposited on the backs of the reflecting surfaces. This presentation investigates how well the corrections might be made. We take a benchmark conical glass element, 410x205 mm, with a 20x20 array of piezoelectric cells 19x9 mm in size. We use finite element analysis to calculate the influence function of each cell. We then simulate the correction via pseudo matrix inversion to calculate the stress to be applied by each cell, considering distortion due to gravity as calculated by finite element analysis, and by putative low order manufacturing distortions described by Legendre polynomials. We describe our algorithm and its performance, and the implications for the sensitivity of the resulting slope errors to the optimization strategy.

AB The direct deposition of piezoelectric thin films on thin substrates offers an appealing technology for the realization of lightweight adjustable mirrors capable of sub-arcsecond resolution. This solution will make it possible to realize X-ray telescopes with both large effective area and exceptional angular resolution and, in particular, it will enable the realization of the adjustable optics for the proposed mission Square Meter Arcsecond Resolution X-ray Telescope (SMART-X).
In the past years we demonstrated for the first time the possibility of depositing a working piezoelectric thin film (1-5 um) made of lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) on glass. Here we review the recent progress in film deposition and influence function characterization and comparison with finite element models. The suitability of the deposited films is analyzed and some constrains on the piezoelectric film performances are derived. The future steps in the development of the technology are described.

ID THIN-FILMS; MEMS
AB The proposed SMART-X telescope includes adaptive optics systems that use piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films deposited on flexible glass substrates. Several processing constraints are imposed by current designs: the crystallization temperature must be kept below 550 degrees C, the total stress in the film must be minimized, and the yield on 1 cm(2) actuator elements should be > 90%. For this work, RF magnetron sputtering was used to deposit films since chemical solution deposition (CSD) led to warping of large area flexible glass substrates. A PZT 52/48 film that was deposited at 4 mTorr and annealed at 550 degrees C for 24 hours showed no detectable levels of either PbO or pyrochlore second phases. Large area electrodes (1cm x 1 cm) were deposited on 4 '' glass substrates. Initially, the yield of the devices was low, however, two methods were employed to increase the yield to near 100 %. The first method included a more rigorous cleaning to improve the continuity of the Pt bottom electrode. The second method was to apply 3 V DC across the capacitor structure to burn out regions of defective PZT. The result of this latter method essentially removed conducting filaments in the PZT but left the bulk of the material undamaged. By combining these two methods, the yield on the large area electrodes improved from < 10% to nearly 100%.

AB We describe an X-ray Observatory mission with 0.5 '' angular resolution, comparable to the Chandra X-ray Observatory, but with 30 times more effective collecting area. The concept is based on developing the new technology of adjustable X-ray optics for ultra thin (0.4 mm), highly nested grazing incidence X-ray mirrors. Simulations to date indicate that the corrections for manufacturing and mounting can be determined on the ground and the effects of gravity release can be calculated to sufficient accuracy, so that all adjustments are applied only once on-orbit, without the need of any on-orbit determination of the required corrections. The mission concept is based on the Chandra Observatory, and takes advantage of the technology studies which have taken place over the past fifteen years developing large area, light weight mirrors.

AB The U.S. Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO) is a product-driven organization that provides new scientific research capabilities to the astronomical community. Software development for the VAO follows a lightweight framework that guides development of science applications and infrastructure. Challenges to be overcome include distributed development teams, part-time efforts, and highly constrained schedules. We describe the process we followed to conquer these challenges while developing Iris, the VAO application for analysis of 1-D astronomical spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Iris was successfully built and released in less than a year with a team distributed across four institutions. The project followed existing International Virtual Observatory Alliance inter-operability standards for spectral data and contributed a SED library as a by-product of the project. We emphasize lessons learned that will be folded into future development efforts. In our experience, a well-defined process that provides guidelines to ensure the project is cohesive and stays on track is key to success. Internal product deliveries with a planned test and feedback loop are critical. Release candidates are measured against use cases established early in the process, and provide the opportunity to assess priorities and make course corrections during development. Also key is the participation of a stakeholder such as a lead scientist who manages the technical questions, advises on priorities, and is actively involved as a lead tester. Finally, frequent scheduled communications (for example a bi-weekly tele-conference) assure issues are resolved quickly and the team is working toward a common vision.

AB We present the hest to date determination of high-degree mode parameters obtained from a ninety day long time series of full-disk full-resolution Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) Dopplergrams. These Dopplergrams were decomposed using our best estimate of the image scale and the known components of MDI's image distortion. The spherical harmonic decomposition was carried out up to = 1000, and a high-order sine multi-taper power spectrum estimator was used to generate power spectra. These power spectra were fitted for all degrees and all azimuthal orders, for 100 <= C <= 1000, and for all radial orders with substantial amplitude, generating some 6 x 10(6) estimates of ridge frequencies, line-widths, amplitudes and asymmetries. We used a sophisticated forward modeling of the mode to ridge blending, to recover the best possible estimate of the underlying mode characteristics.

AB We present the most exhaustive and accurate inferences of the internal solar rotation rate and its evolution during solar cycle 23. A full solar cycle of Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) observations has been analyzed using our state of the art fitting methodology. Time series of various lengths have been fitted, from a single 4608-day long epoch (64 x 72 day or 12.6 year) down to 64 separate segments for the traditional 72-day long epochs. We used time series of spherical harmonic coefficients computed by the MDI group but using an improved spatial decomposition. This decomposition now includes our best estimate of the image plate scale and of the MDI instrumental image distortion. The leakage matrix used or the fitting includes the effect of the distortion of the eigenfunctions by the solar differential rotation, and the undistorted leakage matrix was itself carefully reviewed and independently recomputed. Rotation inversions were carried out for all the available mode sets for that epoch and all available segments, including the MDI and Global Oscillation Network Group (GONG) pipeline sets. The improved inversion method we used is an iterative methodology based on a regularized least-squares. It implements a model grid optimization derived from the actual information in the input set. This optimized model grid is itself irregular, namely with a variable number of latitudes at different depths. We present the most accurate mean rotation rate, to date. We also focus on the change of the rotation rate with activity levels and how well these changes are assessed at high latitudes and below the surface, clown to the base of the convection zone.

AB This article continues and extends my previous efforts to characterize modernity and to map the change in state of mind constituting the transition to postmodernity. Here I make a case for marking that transition by the dramatic fall, between the early 1960s and the early 1970s, in the cultural valuation of professions and of disciplines. I show that four culturally presupposed values-proceduralism, disinterestedness, autonomy, and solidarity-along with discipline, in a characterological sense, were characteristic for modernity and indispensable to the conception and sustentation of disciplinarity. Then I evidence the inversion in contemporary culture of each of those five value presuppositions. In this way I show postmodernity to be antithetical to disciplinarity.

AB Different requirements for reproduction between sexes in dioecious plants can lead to gender-specific physiological responses to environmental constraints. Females generally endure higher reproductive investment and costs than males, displaying lower water and nutrient use efficiency and growth. We studied the ecophysiology of the dioecious shrub Corema album L. (D.) Don. to assess how drought impacts physiological responses and gender dimorphism along an aridity gradient within the species' range. Leaf gas exchange, photochemical efficiency (F-v/F-m), water potential (Psi), vegetative growth (VG) and leaf C isotopic discrimination and nitrogen content were measured in three populations under markedly different climatic conditions. Physiological responses and growth indicated higher level of stress in the drier environments, leading to increased WUE (Delta) and lower VG. Physiological stress increases among plants were related to incremental changes in the degree of gender dimorphism, with significant effects on Psi and F-v/F-m (P < 0.05); males showed higher VG (P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis of instantaneous and integrated measurements revealed gender-related effects across the climatic gradient (P < 0.01). Reproduction investment has an effect on the physiological performance and growth of C. album. Gender responses are site-specific, being influenced by climate. The increase in physiological stress with aridity could lead to the potential retreat and variation in structure in these populations if genders are affected differently by the predicted climate change.

AB Nephila are known for the greatest degrees of sexual size dimorphism among orb weaving spiders (Araneoidea) and thus among terrestrial animals. However, a meaningful quantification of the dimorphism is lacking and the proximate developmental mechanisms of female gigantism are poorly understood, being attributed solely to female delayed maturation. Here we show that females in the giant wood spider Nephila pilipes (Fabricius 1793) become giants through facultative post-maturity molting, a phenomenon resulting in female carapaces on average 4.27 times longer than males' (ranging from 3 to 6.4 times), and female mass averaging 125 times the male's (ranging from 28 to 502 times). Although the small males follow a typical developmental pathway and reach maturity with their final molt, the females mature at varying sizes and instars and then continue to grow by molting the entire exoskeleton except their genitals. The newly discovered phenomenon of additional, single-sex, adult, non-genital molting may represent a critical developmental adaptation that facilitates female gigantism in Nephila as a response to fecundity selection.

AB Teachers may use apprenticeships and collaboration as instructional strategies that help students to make authentic scientific discoveries as they work as amateur researchers in academic field studies. This concept was examined with 643 students, ages 14-72, who became proficient at field research through cognitive apprenticeships with the Smithsonian Institute, School for Field Studies and Earthwatch. Control student teams worked from single research goals and sets of methods, while experimental teams varied goals, methods, and collaborative activities in Kenya, Costa Rica, Panama, and Ecuador. Results from studies indicate that students who conducted local pilot studies, collaborative symposia, and ongoing, long-term fieldwork generated significantly more data than did control groups. Research reports of the experimental groups were ranked highest by experts, and contributed the most data to international science journals. Data and anecdotal information in this report indicate that structured collaboration in local long-term studies using apprenticeships may increase the potential for students' academic field studies contribution of new information to science.

AB Five species of Trigonalidae, hyperparasitoids of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) and Tachinidae (Diptera) that parasitize caterpillars (Lepidoptera), have been reared during the ongoing caterpillar inventory of Area de Conservacion Guanacaste (ACG), Guanacaste Province, northwestern Costa Rica: Lycogaster apicipennis (Cameron), Taeniogonalos woodorum Smith, sp. n., Taeniogonalos fasciatipennis (Cameron), Trigonalys championi Cameron, and Trigonalys maculifrons Sharp. Morphological and DNA barcoding data support species separation of these generalist hyperparasitoids. Taeniogonalos gundlachii (Cresson) is not a widespread, color-variable species as previously treated and is probably confined to eastern North America. The species previously considered as T gundlachii in Costa Rica is regarded as Taeniogonalos fasciatipennis, a species found only in ACG dry forest. Taeniogonalos woodorum is a similar species but found only in the ACG rain forest. Habitat and host records are given for these five species of trigonalids.

AB Box jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Cubozoa) have a profound impact on human activities because of their highly potent venoms that may lead to severe envenomations in humans. Cubozoa is one of the smallest classes within Cnidaria with only some 50 described species in seven families. The literature on Cubozoa is scattered and oftentimes difficult to access. In particular, comprehensive treatments of Cubozoa that present a comparative overview of the group are either non-existent or largely outdated. Here we provide a synopsis of the carybdeid Cubozoa (Carybdeida) including an illustrated key to the families and genera of this order. Of particular interest is the family Carukiidae, which contains the species that was originally attributed with causing a severe envenomation syndrome called Irukandji syndrome. One new species of Carukiidae, Malo filipina sp. nov., is described, Morbakka virulenta is redescribed and a neotype is designated, and an unidentified species of Morbakka is recorded from the Philippines.

ID ARRAY CAMERA IRAC; SPACE-TELESCOPE
AB The Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) is now the only science instrument in operation on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The 3.6 and 4.5 mu m channels are temperature-stabilized at similar to 28.7K, and the sensitivity of IRAC is nearly identical to what it was in the cryogenic mission. The instrument point response function (PRF) is a set of values from which one can determine the point spread function (PSF) for a source at any position in the field, and is dependent on the optical characteristics of the telescope and instrument as well as the detector sampling and pixel response. These data are necessary when performing PSF-fitting photometry of sources, for deconvolving an IRAC image, subtracting out a bright source in a field, or for estimating the flux of a source that saturates the detector. Since the telescope and instrument are operating at a higher temperature in the post-cryogenic mission, we re-derive the PRFs for IRAC from measurements obtained after the warm mission temperature set point and detector biases were finalized and compare them to the 3.6 and 4.5 mu m PRFs determined during the cryogenic mission to assess any changes.

AB We tested the early performance of 16 native early-, mid-, and late-successional tree species in response to four intensities of grass removal in an abandoned cattle pasture dominated by the introduced, invasive African grass, Cynodon plectostachyus, within the Lacandon rainforest region, southeast Mexico. The increase in grass removals significantly improved the performance of many species, especially of early-and mid-successional species, while performance of late-successional species was relatively poor and did not differ significantly among treatments. Good site preparation and at least one additional grass removal four months after seedling transplant were found to be essential; additional grass removals led to improved significantly performance of saplings in most cases. In order to evaluate the potential of transplanting tree seedlings successfully in abandoned tropical pastures, we developed a "planting risk index", combining field performance measurements and plantation cost estimations. Our results showed a great potential for establishing restoration plantings with many early-and mid-successional species. Although planting risk of late-successional species was considered high, certain species showed some possibilities of acclimation after 18 months and should be considered in future plantation arrangements in view of their long-term contributions to biodiversity maintenance and also to human welfare through delivery of ecosystem services. Conducting a planting risk analysis can help avoid failure of restoration strategies involving simultaneous planting of early-, mid-, and late-successional tree species. This in turn will improve cost-effectiveness of initial interventions in large-scale, long-term restoration programs.

AB Understanding the interaction between past environmental and evolutionary change informs scientific and public awareness about natural environmental dynamics. Evidence of dramatic climate variability, cooling, and aridity over the past six million years has stimulated research about whether environmental change has been a major causal factor in the development of our species' defining characteristics. Examples pertaining to the evolution of bipedality, earliest known toolmaking, dispersal of Homo erectus, extinction of Neanderthals, and the global spread H. sapiens all point to the emergence of adaptability in response to environmental uncertainty as a recurrent theme in human evolution. A synthesis of African paleoclimate data suggests that significant events in human origins tended to occur during lengthy eras of strong climate fluctuation. Human adaptability will continue to be tested as societies face the challenges of adjusting to unprecedented change in Earth's environmental dynamics.

AB Studies of stellar populations, understood to mean collections of stars with common spatial, kinematic, chemical, and/or age distributions, have been reinvigorated during the past decade by the advent of large-area sky surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the Two-Micron All Sky Survey, the Radial Velocity Experiment, and others. We review recent analyses of these data that, together with theoretical and modeling advances, are revolutionizing our understanding of the nature of the Milky Way and galaxy formation and evolution in general. The formation of galaxies like the Milky Way was long thought to be a steady process leading to a smooth distribution of stars. However, the abundance of substructure in the multidimensional space of various observables, such as position, kinematics, and metallicity, is now proven beyond doubt and demonstrates the importance of mergers in the growth of galaxies. Unlike smooth models that involve simple components, the new data reviewed here clearly exhibit many irregular structures, such as the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream and the Virgo and Pisces overdensities in the halo and the Monoceros stream closer to the Galactic plane. These recent developments have made it clear that the Milky Way is a complex and dynamic structure, one that is still being shaped by the merging of neighboring smaller galaxies. We also briefly discuss the next generation of wide-field sky surveys, such as SkyMapper, Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System, Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, which will improve measurement precision manyfold and include billions of individual stars. The ultimate goal, development of a coherent and detailed story of the assembly and evolutionary history of the Milky Way and other large spirals like it, now appears well within reach.

AB Isolated precloacal vertebrae from the early to middle Miocene Gaillard Cut of Panama represent the first Central American fossil record of the extant boine snake Boa and constrain dispersal of the genus into Central America from South America as no younger than approximately 19.3 Ma. Boa from the Las Cascadas fossil assemblage and the Centenario Fauna represent the oldest record of terrestrial southern vertebrate immigration into Central America, and demonstrate American interchange by the earliest Neogene. Interchange of snakes precedes contiguous terrestrial connection between Central and South America by approximately 17 Ma, necessitating dispersal across an approximately 100 km wide marine strait. The biogeographic history of snakes across the Neotropics is distinct from the mammalian record, and indicates a more complicated assembly of New World vertebrate faunas than previously recognized.

AB This study examines nest-site selection by two manakin species, Blue-crowned Lepidothrix coronata and Wire-tailed Pipra filicauda (Ayes, Pipridae), that co-occur in lowland wet forest of eastern Ecuador. Both species build simple open-cup nests and both experience high rates of nest predation. Surrounding vegetation was measured for 25 and 27 nests of L. coronata and P filicauda, respectively. Corresponding measurements were made of vegetation at random locations near nest sites. The two species used several host-plant species in common for nest building but with different frequencies. Despite some overlap in characteristics of vegetation that surrounds nests, the two species differed in nest-site locations. Similarity in nest sites was greater among nests of a given species than between species. Vegetation surrounding nest sites differed from that at random locations, suggesting that manakins select specific aspects of the environment when building nests. Accepted 28 February 2012.

AB The Large Aperture Experiment to Detect the Dark Ages (LEDA) seeks to detect hyperfine line emission from neutral Hydrogen (gimel(rest) similar to 21 cm; gimel(obs) = 4 - 6 m) in the intergalactic medium similar to 10(8) yr after the Big Bang. This is an era for which there are no data with which to directly constrain theory. LEDA is funded to deploy to station one of the Long Wavelength Array (i) a real-time, O(10-100) TFlop s(-1), 512-input cross-correlator to enable full-sky full-Stokes imaging over 30-88 MHz, and (ii) dipole antennas for Dicke-switched total-power radiometry by which to detect the Hydrogen line. Project goals are discovery and development of new techniques and instrumentation. Key technical elements of LEDA include "large-N" cross correlation, nearly horizon to horizon broadband imaging, calibration of total-power radiometry using interferometric techniques, correction for direction-dependent receptor gains (e.g., due to mutual coupling), and correction for direction-dependent perturbation of incident wave fronts by the ionosphere.

AB Arctic ozone depletion events (ODEs) are caused by halogen catalyzed ozone loss. In situ chemistry, advection of ozone-poor air mass, and vertical mixing in the lower troposphere are important factors affecting ODEs. To better characterize the ODEs, we analyze the combined set of surface, ozonesonde, and aircraft in situ measurements of ozone and bromine compounds during the Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS), the Aerosol, Radiation, and Cloud Processes affecting Arctic Climate (ARCPAC), and the Arctic Intensive Ozonesonde Network Study (ARCIONS) experiments (April 2008). Tropospheric BrO columns retrieved from satellite measurements and back trajectory calculations are also used to investigate the characteristics of observed ODEs. In situ observations from these field experiments are inadequate to validate tropospheric BrO columns derived from satellite measurements. In view of this difficulty, we construct an ensemble of tropospheric column BrO estimates from two satellite (OMI and GOME-2) measurements and with three independent methods of calculating stratospheric BrO columns. Furthermore, we select analysis methods that do not depend on the absolute magnitude of column BrO, such as time-lagged correlation analysis of ozone and tropospheric column BrO, to understand characteristics of ODEs. Time-lagged correlation analysis between in situ (surface and ozonesonde) measurements of ozone and satellite derived tropospheric BrO columns indicates that the ODEs are due to either local halogen-driven ozone loss or short-range (similar to 1 day) transport from nearby regions with ozone depletion. The effect of in situ ozone loss is also evident in the diurnal variation difference between low (10th and 25th percentiles) and higher percentiles of surface ozone concentrations at Alert, Canada. Aircraft observations indicate low-ozone air mass transported from adjacent high-BrO regions. Correlation analyses of ozone with potential temperature and time-lagged tropospheric BrO column show that the vertical extent of local ozone loss is surprisingly deep (1-2 km) at Resolute and Churchill, Canada. The unstable boundary layer during ODEs at Churchill could potentially provide a source of free-tropospheric BrO through convective transport and explain the significant negative correlation between free-tropospheric ozone and tropospheric BrO column at this site.

AB The medicinal and tree species Luehea divaricata is known as 'acoita-cavalo' and widely used for wood, reclamation, and in popular medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antiproliferative and genotoxic effects of infusions of two populations of this species on the Allium cepa cell cycle. Cells of root tips of Allium cepa were used as an in vivo test system for monitoring the genotoxicity of this medicinal plant. Leaves and bark of two populations of Luehea divaricata were collected during the vegetative stage and used to prepare infusions in two concentrations: for the leaves (6 g/L and 30 g/L) and two concentrations for the bark (32 g/L and 160 g/L), using distilled water as negative control and glyphosate 3% as positive control. For this study, 10 groups of four bulbs were utilized, with one group of bulbs for each treatment. The slides were prepared by the squashing technique, scoring 4000 cells for each group of bulbs. The mitotic index (MI) was calculated and then a statistical analysis was performed using chi-square (chi(2)). The results showed that Luehea divaricata infusions in both populations caused a reduction of MI compared to control, and in both analyzed concentrations there was no significant genotoxic effect in comparison to the negative control, however there was a significant difference in relation to the positive control for both populations. The antiproliferative effect of leaf extracts increased with a greater concentration and among bark extracts no significant difference occurred between the two concentrations. The studied populations did not show genetic variability regarding the antiproliferative effect.

AB It is not unusual for science educators to experience frustration in implementing learning initiatives for teenage youth who are not already hooked with science. Such frustration may lead them to focus their attention on different audiences, missing an opportunity to break the chain of science apathy among these youth. Youth's apparent lack of interest in science is associated with behavior typical of adolescence and the inadequacy of many science programs to adapt to meet the need of this audience. Teenage youth identify effective programs as those that engage them in challenging but fun activities and that contribute to their social development. Youth are looking for opportunities for skills and knowledge development that are otherwise unavailable to them in or out of school, and for positive relationships with adults with unique expertise in science and other fields. The Youth Astronomy Apprenticeship (YAA) has been successful in reaching out to teenage youth through the implementation of a model that incorporates principles of positive youth development in a multidisciplinary approach to science education. The project-based outcome of YAA participation is the creation and implementation of artistic performances, planetarium shows, museum exhibits, and even entertaining PowerPoint presentations.

AB In our presentation, we demonstrated some key features of the WorldWide Telescope (WWT). Here we describe the results of a WWT Ambassadors (WWTA) Pilot Study where volunteer Ambassadors helped sixth-graders use WWT during a six-week astronomy unit. The results of the study compare learning outcomes for 80 students who participated in WWTA and 70 students at the same school and grade who only used traditional learning materials. After the six-week unit, twice as many "WWT" as "non-WWT" students understood complex three dimensional orbital relationships; tremendous gains were seen in student performance in science overall, astronomy in particular, and even in using "real" telescopes. We describe plans for expansion of the WWTA program.

AB Launched in May 2011, "From Earth to the Solar System" (FETTSS) is a public science program that brings planetary science, astronomy, and astrobiology images to audiences in non-traditional science outreach locations. FETTSS seeks to sustain and build upon the success of the award-winning International Year of Astronomy 2009 project "From Earth to the Universe." FETTSS utilizes a similar grass-roots-type of approach to emphasize the point that science-learning experiences can be anywhere. Exhibiting a curated collection of print-ready images of the Solar System, FETTSS aims to spark socially-based engagement and enhance exploration of astronomical content through free-choice learning outside the walls of (but also in partnership with) science centers or planetariums. The research component of FETTSS investigates casual versus intentional audiences, the possibility for participants to reshape their identity or non-identity with science through public events, and additional audience demographics.

AB Seven new species of the Neotropical hairstreak genus Oenomaus are described: O. mancha Busby & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador); O. gwenish Robbins & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Panama); O. lea Faynel & Robbins, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador); O. myrteana Busby, Robbins & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador); O. mentirosa Faynel & Robbins, sp. n. (type locality Peru); O. andi Busby & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Ecuador) and O. moseri Robbins & Faynel, sp. n. (type locality Brazil, Santa Catarina). For each new Oenomaus species, we present diagnostic characters and notes on its habitat and biology. We illustrate adults, genitalia, and distribution. New distributional and biological data are presented for 21 previously described Oenomaus species. Oenomaus melleus guyanensis Faynel, 2008 is treated as a new synonym of O. m. melleus (Druce, 1907). Females are described and associated with males for ten species using a variety of factors, including mitochondrial COI DNA "barcode" sequences. We summarize the reasons why the number of recognized Oenomaus species has grown in the past decade from one species to 28 species. Finally, we overview the habitats that Oenomaus species occupy and note that the agricultural pest on Annonaceae, O. ortygnus, is the only Oenomaus species that regularly occurs in greatly disturbed habitats.

AB We have developed a novel method to describe superradiance and related cooperative and collective effects in a closed form. Using this method we derive a two-atom master equation in which any complexity of atomic levels, semiclassical coupling fields and quantum fluctuations in the fields can be included, at least in principle. As an example, we consider the dynamics of an initially inverted two-level system and show how even such in a simple system phenomena such as the initial radiation burst or broadening due to dipole-dipole interactions occur. Finally, we find that correlation only, not entanglement, is responsible for superradiance.

AB The potential of a recently established marine protected area (MPA) in the Western Atlantic, Brazil, as a 'seed production' and nursery ground for Xiphopenaeus kroyeri, an intensively exploited penaeid shrimp, was investigated in an attempt to reveal any future benefit of this new MPA to adjacent populations experiencing heavy exploitation. Overall, we observed that males and females >12 and 20 mm carapace length, respectively, contributed the most to reproduction in the studied population. Reproductive activity of X. kroyeri was continuous at the MPA; 2 annual reproductive peaks were recorded from March to April and from November to December, which were followed by recruitment events occurring from March to April 2009 and November 2009. Sediment, temperature, and algae and plant biomass floating near the bottom were relevant in driving reproductive activity and recruitment in X. kroyeri. The high reproductive potential of the studied population and the occurrence of abundant juveniles throughout the sampling area, indicating the existence of a nursery ground within the region, suggest that this MPA might provide important benefits in the near future. We argue in favor of future long-term studies on the larval dispersion, reproductive biology and ecology of X. kroyeri in MPAs and non-MPAs to construct a base for future management of this species and to aid stock recovery in fishing areas that are heavily exploited.

AB There is at present no viable theory whereby a single star with M-MS < 2.3 +/- 0.3 M-circle dot can sustain a PN-forming superwind with M > 3x10(-5) M-circle dot yr(-1) at the tip of the AGB that can eject the last similar to 1.3 M-circle dot of envelope mass. We propose that a binary companion can not only result in non-spherical PN, but more importantly provide the AGB mass loss rate enhancement that is required to create a visible PN. We provide an overview of our binary population synthesis calculations of the PN formation rates from common envelope (CE) interactions, CE mergers with substellar companions, tidally synchronized systems that avoid CE, gravitationally focused winds, and double degenerate systems. The predicted number of Galactic PN with radii < 0.9 pc shaped and created by a binary companion is 8,100 +/- 2,300 which is (71 +/- 20)% of the observationally-estimated total. We demonstrate that the observed close central star of PN binary fraction of 15-20% is consistent with our overall binary fraction, considering we predict two binary populations with period distributions centred at log P(days)similar to 0 and 4. Finally, we discuss the impact of binarity on the PN luminosity function, central star mass distribution, chemical abundances, morphologies, etc., and why these distributions predicted in the binary scenario are close to observations while the single star paradigm produces distributions which are measurably discrepant.

AB I discuss recent work in which we construct models of poststarburst galaxies by combining fully three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy mergers with radiative transfer calculations of dust attenuation. The poststarburst signatures can occur shortly after a bright starburst phase in gas-rich mergers, and thus offer a unique opportunity to study the formation of bulges and the effects of feedback. Several additional applications of spatially-resolved spectroscopic models of interacting galaxies include multi-wavelength studies of AGN/starburst diagnostics, mock integral field unit data to interpret the evolution of ULIRGs, and the 'Green Valley'.

ID SPITZER-SPACE-TELESCOPE; STAR-FORMATION
AB The evolution of galaxies is greatly influenced by their interactions. As part of a program to study interacting galaxies, we have measured and modeled the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from the ultraviolet (UV) to the far-infrared (FIR). We describe the constraints imposed on star formation histories by these SEDs, and the variations therein seen across the interaction sequence, and we compare the results of different star formation rate prescriptions applied to the data. The sample itself is based on the Spitzer Interacting Galaxy Survey (SIGS) of 111 galaxies in 50 systems, a project designed to probe a range of galaxy interaction parameters in the infrared. Our SEDs combine the Spitzer results with multiwavelength data from other missions, in particular GALEX and Herschel. The subset presented here is the sample for which FIR Herschel observations are currently publicly available.

ID QUIET-SUN; SPECTRUM; RHESSI; LIMITS
AB Axioms generated thermally in the solar core can convert nearly directly to X-rays as they pass through the solar atmosphere via interaction with the magnetic field. The result of this conversion process would be a diffuse centrally-concentrated source of few-keV X-rays at disk center; it would have a known dimension, of order 10% of the solar diameter, and a spectral distribution resembling the blackbody spectrum of the solar core. Its spatial structure in detail would depend on the distribution of mass and field in the solar atmosphere. The brightness of the source depends upon these factors as well as the unknown coupling constant and the unknown mass of the axion; this particle is hypothetical and no firm evidence for its existence has been found yet. We describe the solar magnetic environment as an axion/photon converter and discuss the upper limits obtained by existing and dedicated observations from three solar X-ray observatories: Yohkoh, RHESSI, and Hinode.

ID THERMAL-ENERGY RELEASE; X-RAY TELESCOPE; SOLAR ERUPTIONS; ACCELERATION
AB In this work, we use HyLoop (Winter et al. 2011), a loop model that can incorporate the effects of both MHD and non-thermal particle populations, to simulate soft X-ray emissions in various situations. First of all, we test the effect of acceleration location on the emission in several XRT filters by simulating a series of post flare loops with different injection points for the non-thermal particle beams. We use an injection distribution peaked at the loop apex to represent a direct acceleration model, and an injection distribution peaked at the footpoints to represent the Alfven wave interaction model. We find that footpoint injection leads to several early peaks in the apex-to-footpoint emission ratio. Second, we model a loop with cusp-shaped geometry based on the eruption model developed by Lin & Forbes (2000) and Reeves & Forbes (2005a), and find that early in the flare, emission in the loop footpoints is much brighter in the XRT filters if non-thermal particles are included in the calculation. Finally, we employ a multi-loop flare model to simulate thermal emission and compare with a previous model where a semi-circular geometry was used (Reeves et al. 2007). We compare the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) emission from the two models and find that the cusp-shaped geometry leads to a smaller GOES class flare.

AB We present our recent work on utilizing Quasi-Separatrix Layer (QSL) maps for understanding the structure, evolution, and pre-eruption behavior of the quiescent sigmoid observed with Hinode/XRT in February 2007. QSL maps are created at various heights in the corona and for 10 different observations during the evolution of the long-lasting sigmoid. This is the first QSL analysis based on a non-linear force free field of a sigmoid. We point out some major properties of the QSL topology in the sigmoid and we explore how they change spatially and temporally with the evolution of the sigmoid. We explore how QSL topology and strength relate to current distributions and torsion factors in the moments leading to the B-class flare. While the current distribution in the region is smooth and extended, the QSLs show much finer structure which may prove to be of help in pinpointing possible reconnection or heating sites.

The thick filters of the Hinode X-ray Telescope (XRT), however, can add important additional constraints on high temperature plasma, particularly in flares.

AB We examine the contribution of spectral lines and continuum emission to the EUV channels of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (S DO) in different regions of the solar atmosphere (coronal hole, quiet Sun, active region, and Hare plasma). We highlight the contribution of particular spectral lines which under certain conditions can affect the interpretation of SDO/AIA data. In addition we use simultaneous observations from the Hinode Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) and SDO/AIA to examine their relative intensity calibration. Good agreement is found between the two instruments for an active region observation.

AB Sponges (phylum Porifera) are a diverse taxon of benthic aquatic animals of great ecological, commercial, and biopharmaceutical importance. They are arguably the earliest-branching metazoan taxon, and therefore, they have great significance in the reconstruction of early metazoan evolution. Yet, the phylogeny and systematics of sponges are to some extent still unresolved, and there is an on-going debate about the exact branching pattern of their main clades and their relationships to the other non-bilaterian animals. Here, we review the current state of the deep phylogeny of sponges. Several studies have suggested that sponges are paraphyletic. However, based on recent phylogenomic analyses, we suggest that the phylum Porifera could well be monophyletic, in accordance with cladistic analyses based on morphology. This finding has many implications for the evolutionary interpretation of early animal traits and sponge development. We further review the contribution that mitochondrial genes and genomes have made to sponge phylogenetics and explore the current state of the molecular phylogenies of the four main sponge lineages (Classes), that is, Demospongiae, Hexactinellida, Calcarea, and Homoscleromorpha, in detail. While classical systematic systems are largely congruent with molecular phylogenies in the class Hexactinellida and in certain parts of Demospongiae and Homoscleromorpha, the high degree of incongruence in the class Calcarea still represents a challenge. We highlight future areas of research to fill existing gaps in our knowledge. By reviewing sponge development in an evolutionary and phylogenetic context, we support previous suggestions that sponge larvae share traits and complexity with eumetazoans and that the simple sedentary adult lifestyle of sponges probably reflects some degree of secondary simplification. In summary, while deep sponge phylogenetics has made many advances in the past years, considerable efforts are still required to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the relationships among and within the main sponge lineages to fully appreciate the evolution of this extraordinary metazoan phylum.

AB Over the past four decades, sponge research has advanced by leaps and bounds through endeavours such as the Caribbean Coral Reef Ecosystems (CCRE) programme at the U.S. National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Since its founding in the early 1970s, the programme has been dedicated to a detailed multidisciplinary study of a section of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the Atlantic's largest reef complex, and has generated data far beyond the capability of lone investigators and brief expeditions. This reef complex extends 250 km southward from Yucatan, Mexico, into the Gulf of Honduras, most of it lying 20-40 km off the coast of Belize. A relatively unspoiled ecosystem, it features a great variety of habitats in close proximity, ranging from mangrove islands, seagrass meadows, and patch reefs in its lagoon to the barrier reef along the margin of the continental shelf. Among its varied macrobenthos, sponges stand out for their ubiquity, range of colours, rich species and biomass, and ecological importance; they populate rocky substrates, some sandy bottoms, and the subtidal stilt roots and peat banks of mangroves.
Working from a field station established in 1972 on Carrie Bow Cay, a sand islet atop the reef off southern Belize, experts in numerous disciplines from both the Museum and academic institutions throughout the world have explored the area's biodiversity in the broadest sense and community development over time. At last count, 113 researchers (88 working on site) have focused on the biological and geological role of Porifera in Carrie Bow's reef communities, with the results reported in 125 scientific papers to date. The majority of these sponge studies have centred on systematics and faunistics, including quantitative distribution among the various habitats. Taxonomic approaches have ranged from basic morphology to fine structure, DNA barcoding, and ecological manipulations and culminated in a mini-workshop involving several experts on Caribbean Porifera. Ecological work has covered a broad spectrum as well: bioerosion, silica and nutrient cycling, symbiosis, mutualism, space competition, predation, disease, and the effects on sponge individuals and populations of environmental factors such as light, temperature, salinity, desiccation, substrate, and sedimentation. Many projects were enhanced by scientific illustration, laboratory studies of larvae settlement preferences and development, and investigations of microbial and invertebrate sponge associates, notably symbiotic cyanobacteria, parazoanthid epizoans, and crustacean and ophiuroid endobionts. Of the striking discoveries, the work on alpheid shrimps colonizing sponges off Carrie Bow Cay has yielded the first report of eusociality in marine organisms.

AB African elephants of reproductive age in zoos are experiencing high rates of ovarian cycle problems (>40%) and low reproductive success. Previously, our laboratory found that 1/3 of acyclic females exhibit hyperprolactinaemia, a likely cause of ovarian dysfunction. This follow-up study re-examined hyperprolactinaemia in African elephants and found the problem has increased significantly to 71% of acyclic females. Circulating serum progestagens and prolactin were analysed in 31 normal cycling, 13 irregular cycling and 31 acyclic elephants for 12 months. In acyclic females, overall mean prolactin concentrations differed from cycling females (P < 0.05), with concentrations being either higher (n = 22; 54.90 +/- 13.31 ngmL(-1)) or lower (n = 9; 6.47 +/- 1.73 ngmL(-1)) than normal. No temporal patterns of prolactin secretion were evident in elephants that lacked progestagen cycles. In cycling females, prolactin was secreted in a cyclical manner, with higher concentrations observed during nonluteal (34.38 +/- 1.77 and 32.75 +/- 2.61 ngmL(-1)) than luteal (10.51 +/- 0.30 and 9.67 +/- 0.42 ngmL(-1)) phases for normal and irregular females, respectively. Of most concern was that over two-thirds of acyclic females now are hyperprolactinemic, a dramatic increase over that observed 7 years earlier. Furthermore, females of reproductive age constituted 45% of elephants with hyperprolactinaemia. Until the cause of this problem is identified and a treatment is developed, reproductive rates will remain suboptimal and the population nonsustaining.

AB Asian elephant spermatozoa are sensitive to chilling and do not respond well to cryopreservation. The objectives of the present study were to: (1) determine whether cholesterol content can be modified by preincubation of Asian elephant spermatozoa with cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrin (CLC); and (2) assess the effects of CLC concentration(s), temperature at time of glycerol addition (22 degrees C vs 4 degrees C) and dilution medium on post-thaw sperm survival. Spermatozoa incubated with >= 1.5 mg CLC exhibited increased (P < 0.05) cholesterol concentrations. Pretreatment of spermatozoa with >= 1.5 mg CLC resulted in improvements (P < 0.05) in all post-thaw parameters. Glycerol addition at 4 degrees C also improved all post-thaw parameters compared with 22 degrees C. Dilution of thawed spermatozoa in an egg yolk-based medium improved (P < 0.05) motility compared with Ham's F-10 culture medium. In summary, our findings indicate that modifying cholesterol content within the plasma membrane improves the cryosurvival of Asian elephant spermatozoa. The development of an improved cryopreservation method that includes modification of membrane cholesterol and the addition of glycerol at 4 degrees C, as reported in the present study, is an important step towards utilisation of cryopreserved spermatozoa in captive management of this species.

AB Broad-band X-ray observations can provide limited temperature diagnostics through filter ratios. A high cadence observation of an active region made with a single Hinode/XRT filter allows us to use an alternative approach in which we measure the time fluctuations of the pixel count rate and use the variance as temperature proxy. We show the results and discuss limitations of method.

AB We utilize the great angular resolution and unprecedented cadence of the Advanced Imaging Assembly instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory to characterize shocks forming in the low solar corona. We present recent observations of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) off-limb bright fronts and radio shock wave signatures. Our analysis shows that the EUV observations correspond to compressed plasma behind fast coronal shocks, but they do not uniformly accelerate electrons at their nose. We have attempted here to estimate the significance of magnetic geometry for accelerating energetic particles in a model coronal shock.

AB We present a survey on the fine structure and dynamics of quiescent prominence eruptions observed both on the disk and at the limb. We have identified 45 quiescent prominence eruptions by looking at the SDO (Solar Dynamics Observatory)/AIA (Atmospheric Imaging Assembly) daily movies from April to June in 2011. Among these events, there are 24 symmetric eruptions (coherent loop-like eruptions) and 21 asymmetric eruptions (one footpoint lifts off) as shown by AIA and STEREO/EUVI observations. Vertical filament threads are identified in 10 out of the 45 events, while horizontal threads are observed in almost all eruptions. We find 23 events with twisting/untwisting motions. For 14 selected limb events, we carry out a detailed study of the eruption dynamics using AIA observations at 304 angstrom. We find that the initial heights of these erupting prominences are located around 50-110 Mm above the limb. The eruptions start from a speed of less than 5 km/s, then increase to several tens km/s in the AIA field of view. The maximum speed of these events is 50 km/s. The acceleration plots show a positive acceleration in the range of 0 to 20 m/s(2). No significant difference is identified in the dynamics of the symmetric and asymmetric eruptions.

AB Magnetic reconnection is widely accepted as being associated with energy release during solar flares; however, observations of it have been indirect and/or incomplete. Using the suite of instruments available spanning wavelength space, we provide observations and measurements of both the inputs and outputs predicted from reconnection in the form of inflows preceding outflows (i.e. supra-arcade downflows, supra-arcade downflowing loops, upflows, and disconnection events). We also present evidence for current sheets through which reconnection is expected to occur and discuss current sheet motion during flare progression.

AB Solar flares occur when magnetic energy is quickly converted into heat and kinetic energy by magnetic reconnection in a current sheet (CS). We briefly discuss previous works on the CS thickness estimated from observations by the UVCS and the LASCO experiments on SOHO. Based on these results, we perform 2D MHD simulations of the development of instabilities and turbulence in a long CS and study various properties of the energy conversion in the reconnection region. Our results display a very good power law distribution for the energy versus the scale of small structures inside CS, and suggest that the reconnection process is turbulent.

AB We present resistive MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection in the context of coronal mass ejection current sheets. We hypothesize that several commonly observed features of solar flares such as sub-Alfvenic downflows, candle flame shaped post-flare loops, and current sheet drifting are the result of asymmetry in the inflow and/or outflow directions during the reconnection process.

AB We have selected a large number of X-ray bright points (XBPs) over synoptic soft X-ray full-disk images observed using Al-Mesh with X-Ray Telescope (XRT) onboard the Hinode spacecraft during July-December, 2008. We have analyzed the full-disk images using SSW in IDL. We used the tracer method to identify and trace the passage of XBPs over the solar disc with the help of overlaying grids. We also obtained the position (Latitude and Longitude), size & brightness information for XBPs using tracer method as a function of time and thus calculated sidereal angular rotation rate of corona at different latitudes. We have compared the rotation rate with latitude, size and brightness of XBPs. We found that the corona rotates differentially and it appears that the larger XBPs show a lower sidereal angular rotation rate, the smaller XBPs exhibit higher rotation rate, similar to sunspots.

AB One of the greatest challenges in solar coronal physics is to obtain a statistically complete sample of short duration events like coronal bright points. Such samples are necessary to fully characterize the properties of these events and understand the physical basis of such phenomena. Datasets are best acquired automatically, without manual intervention, in order to avoid introducing observer biases. We evaluate several algorithms for detecting flare events in time series data. One algorithm determines where derivatives of the Gaussian-smoothed lightcurve cross certain thresholds. A second algorithm segments the Loess-smoothed lightcurve between consecutive minima, then joins adjacent segments if their extrema are not statistically distinguishable. A third algorithm is a hybrid of the first two. We generate simulated datasets with similar properties to observed Hinode XRT quiet Sun lightcurves and test each algorithm on these datasets. The performance of each algorithm on the simulated lightcurves is scored according to the rates of false positive (Type I) and false negative (Type II) errors. We use these results to optimize the parameter values of each algorithm. We compare the performances of the algorithms and evaluate the efficiency with which they are able to detect small events. Such evaluations are relevant to properly interpret the observed steepening of the slope of the solar flare energy distribution at small energies.

AB We have developed estimates of the systematic photometric uncertainties for the X-Ray Telescope (Kano et al. (2008)) on Hinode (Kosugi et al. (2007)). These estimates are included as optional returns from the standard XRT data reduction software, xrt_prep.pro. Included in the software estimates are uncertainties from instrument vignetting, dark current subtraction, split bias leveling, fourier filtering and JPEG compression. We show that these uncertainties are generally smaller than the photon counting uncertainty. However, due to the reliance on assumptions of plasma radiation models and elemental abundances, photon counting is not included in the software.

AB Crepipatella occulta n. sp. is described from the intertidal zone in northern Chile. This species is morphologically cryptic with two other Crepipatella species from Chile, Crepipatella dilatata (Lamarck, 1822) and Crepipatella peruviana (Lamarck, 1822) (a senior synonym of C. fecunda), with respect to adult shell morphology and anatomy. However, Crepipatella occulta is clearly distinguishable from both of them on the basis of embryonic development. It can be distinguished from Crepipatella peruviana, a planktotroph, and Crepipatella dilatata, a direct developer with uncleaved nurse eggs, because it has direct development with developing nurse embryos that are consumed before the juveniles hatch. Genetic data from DNA sequences also support the distinct status of this species, and show that the South African species C. capensis (Quoy & Gaimard, 1832-33) is more closely related to C. dilatata and C. peruviana than is C. occulta. In addition Crepipatella occulta displays diagnostic alleles in 14 allozyme loci when compared with the other two co-occuring Chilean species in northern Chile. Morphologically, Crepipatella occulta n. sp. does not attain the large size often observed in C. peruviana, and it typically has a shiny dark chestnut or chocolate shell interior.

AB We present 663 QSO candidates in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) that were selected using multiple diagnostics. We started with a set of 2,566 QSO candidates selected using the methodology presented in our previous work based on time variability of the MACHO LMC light curves. We then obtained additional information for the candidates by cross-matching them with the Spitzer SAGE, the 2MASS, the Chandra, the XMM, and an LMC UBVI catalogues. Using that information, we specified diagnostic features based on mid-IR, colours, photometric redshifts using SED template fitting, and X-ray luminosities, in order to discriminate more high-confidence QSO candidates in the absence of spectral information. We then trained a one-class Support Vector Machine model using those diagnostics features. We applied the trained model to the original candidates, and finally selected 663 high-confidence QSO candidates. We cross-matched those 663 QSO candidates with 152 newly-confirmed QSOs and 275 non-QSOs in the LMC fields, and found that the false positive rate was less than 1%.

AB In searching for a reliable variability indicator for Chandra X-ray event data, we implemented the Cregory-Loredo (G-L) algorithm to assess variability and to generate light curves for the Chandra Source Catalog. A test was performed on 118 sources detected in a single observation, spanning the intensity range 5-24,000 photons over a total observing time of 102,000 sec. We conclude that the G-L algorithm is extremely robust, yielding both a reliable variability indicator and light curves with optimal resolution, while requiring a very modest amount of CPU time. The algorithm can also work on binned data, and is capable of handling data gaps as well as variations in effective area.

AB This paper presents the 3-dimensional non-LTE radiative transfer code, MOLLIE (MOLelcular Line Explorer), for solving molecular and atomic excitation and radiation transfer in a molecular gas and predicting emergent spectra. The code implementation makes use of the Accelerated Lambda Iteration (ALI) method of Rybicki & Hummer (1991) to solve the radiative transfer equation along rays passing through a spherical model cloud. When convergence between level populations, the radiation field, and the point separation has been obtained, the grid is ray-traced to produce images that can be readily compared to observations. The optimization technique, Fast Simulated Annealing (FSA), adopted by MOLLIE to increase the probability of arriving at a satisfactory output in a timely fashion, is briefly considered.

AB Entropy profiles of galaxy clusters are systematically different when simulated with SPH versus Eulerian mesh codes. This systematic difference has persisted until now, casting doubt hydrodynamical schemes can follow complex hydrodynamical flows in full cosmological settings reliably. We present results from a novel set of simulations performed both with a Lagrangian SPH code GADGET and with a recently developed moving mesh code AREPO. This suite of simulations sheds light on the physical and numerical mechanisms which are responsible for the systematic discrepancies in the entropy profiles.

AB Spiral structure in galaxies was recognized as likely originating from the action of density waves propagating through a differentially rotating disk. However, the origin of these features remains controversial. Using very high resolution numerical simulations we show that spiral arms might be seeded by density inhomogeneities orbiting in the disk itself. These perturbations can be identified with fluctuations in the distribution of gas in the interstellar medium of galaxies, such as giant molecular clouds. Our simulations show that when sufficient numbers of these perturbers are present, they collectively amplify to yield large-scale spiral patterns that resemble the spiral arms in flocculent and intermediate late type spiral galaxies.

AB We consider the spiral structure arising from the gravitational influence of massive perturbers corotating in a stellar disk. Within a single rotation period our simulations develop a prominent, large-scale response, covering a broad range of spiral galaxy morphologies. In contrast, identical systems in the absence of perturbers show no such features. Measuring radial variation of the spiral pattern speed Omega(p) using a modified Tremaine-Weinberg method, we find that the pattern speed both decreases with radius and closely follows the circular velocity of the disk.

C. cheesmanae Quicke sp. n., C. crambidiphagus Quicke sp. n., C. gregarius Quicke sp. n., C. maclayi Quicke sp. n., C. madangensis Quicke sp. n., C masalaii Quicke sp. n., C. parotiphagus Quicke sp. n., C. pukpuk Quicke sp. n. and C. wanang Quicke sp. n. Most species are morphologically easily distinguished but DNA barcoding additionally reveals a pair of exceedingly similar species (C. pukpuk sp. n. and C maclayi sp. n.) that might otherwise have gone unrecognised. The new species each appear to be relatively specialised on their host species and all parasitize only caterpillars of Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Spilomelinae.

AB Hymenoptera exhibit an incredible diversity of phenotypes, the result of similar to 240 million years of evolution and the primary subject of more than 250 years of research. Here we describe the history, development, and utility of the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology (HAO) and its associated applications. These resources are designed to facilitate accessible and extensible research on hymenopteran phenotypes. Outreach with the hymenopterist community is of utmost importance to the HAO project, and this paper is a direct response to questions that arose from project workshops. In a concerted attempt to surmount barriers of understanding, especially regarding the format, utility, and development of the HAO, we discuss the roles of homology, "preferred terms", and "structural equivalency". We also outline the use of Universal Resource Identifiers (URIs) and posit that they are a key element necessary for increasing the objectivity and repeatability of science that references hymenopteran anatomy. Pragmatically, we detail a mechanism (the "URI table") by which authors can use URIs to link their published text to the HAO, and we describe an associated tool (the "Analyzer") to derive these tables. These tools, and others, are available through the HAO Portal website (http://portal.hymao.org). We conclude by discussing the future of the HAO with respect to digital publication, cross-taxon ontology alignment, the advent of semantic phenotypes, and community-based curation.

AB The identity of the progenitor systems of type-Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) is a major unsolved problem in astrophysics. SN Ia rates are providing some striking clues. We review the basics of SN rate measurement, preach about some sins of SN rate measurement and analysis, and illustrate one of these sins with an analogy about Martian scientists. We review the recent progress in measuring SN Ia rates in various environments and redshifts, and their use to reconstruct the SN Ia delay-time distribution (DTD) - the SN rate versus time that would follow a hypothetical brief burst of star formation. A good number of DTD measurements, using a variety of methods, appear to be converging. At delays 1 < t < 10 Gyr, these measurements show a similar, similar to t(-1), power-law shape. The DTD peaks at the shortest delays probed. This result supports the idea of a double-degenerate progenitor origin for SNe Ia. Single-degenerate progenitors may still play a role in producing short-delay SNe Ia, or perhaps all SNe Ia, if the red-giant donor channel is more efficient than is found by most theoretical models. The DTD normalization enjoys fairly good agreement (though perhaps some tension), among the various measurements, with a Hubble time-integrated DTD value of about 2 +/- 1 SNe Ia per 1000 M-circle dot (stellar mass formed with a low-mass turnover initial mass function). The local WD binary population suggests that the WD merger rate can explain the Galactic SN Ia rate, but only if sub-Chandra mergers lead to SN Ia events. We point to some future directions that should lead to progress in the field, including measurement of the bivariate (delay and stretch) SN Ia response function.

AB The new family Aquaumbridae is described based on distinct morphological characters and supported by a molecular phylogenetic analysis. Aquaumbridae is similar to Nidaliidae, Nepththeidae and Alcyoniidae in having arborescent colonies and lacking axis structure or stolons, but differs from them in having very different sclerite composition and having conspicuous transparent jelly-like lobes. Phylogenetic analysis of two mitochondrial genes, ND2 and mtMutS, strongly supports its placement in a separated clade. Herein we describe Aquaumbra klapferi sp. nov., gen. nov. in the new family. The organisms were obtained from the seamounts, ridges and canyons out of the insular shelf of Isla del Coco, Costa Rica, down to 400 m depth. The new species represents the first discovery of a soft coral in an eastern Pacific oceanic island, and provides hints of the biodiversity of the largely unexplored deep waters of the tropical eastern Pacific.

TI Nomenclatural benchmarking: the roles of digital typification and
telemicroscopy
SO ZOOKEYS
LA English
DT Article
DE Types; typification; digital imaging; biodiversity informatics;
taxonomy; nomenclature; natural history museums
AB Nomenclatural benchmarking is the periodic realignment of species names with species theories and is necessary for the accurate and uniform use of Linnaean binominals in the face of changing species limits. Gaining access to types, often for little more than a cursory examination by an expert, is a major bottleneck in the advance and availability of biodiversity informatics. For the nearly two million described species it has been estimated that five to six million name-bearing type specimens exist, including those for synonymized binominals. Recognizing that examination of types in person will remain necessary in special cases, we propose a four-part strategy for opening access to types that relies heavily on digitization and that would eliminate much of the bottleneck: (1) modify codes of nomenclature to create registries of nomenclatural acts, such as the proposed ZooBank, that include a requirement for digital representations (e-types) for all newly described species to avoid adding to backlog; (2) an "r" strategy that would engineer and deploy a network of automated instruments capable of rapidly creating 3-D images of type specimens not requiring participation of taxon experts; (3) a "K" strategy using remotely operable microscopes to engage taxon experts in targeting and annotating informative characters of types to supplement and extend information content of rapidly acquired e-types, a process that can be done on an as-needed basis as in the normal course of revisionary taxonomy; and (4) creation of a global e-type archive associated with the commissions on nomenclature and species registries providing one-stop-shopping for e-types. We describe a first generation implementation of the "K" strategy that adapts current technology to create a network of Remotely Operable Benchmarkers Of Types (ROBOT) specifically engineered to handle the largest backlog of types, pinned insect specimens. The three initial instruments will be in the Smithsonian Institution(Washington, DC), Natural History Museum (London), and Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle (Paris), networking the three largest insect collections in the world with entomologists worldwide. These three instruments make possible remote examination, manipulation, and photography of types for more than 600,000 species. This is a cybertaxonomy demonstration project that we anticipate will lead to similar instruments for a wide range of museum specimens and objects as well as revolutionary changes in collaborative taxonomy and formal and public taxonomic education.

AB Dactylotrochus cervicornis (= Tridacophyllia cervicornis Moseley, 1881), which occurs in Indo-Pacific waters between 73 and 852 m, was originally described as an astraeid but was later transferred to the Caryophylliidae. Assumed to be solitary, this species has no stolons and only one elongated fossa, and is unique among azooxanthellate scleractinians in often displaying extremely long thecal extensions that are septate and digitiform. Based on both molecular phylogenetic analyses (partial mitochondrial CO1 and 16S rDNA, and partial nuclear 28S rDNA) and morphological characteristics, we propose the transfer of D. cervicornis from the Caryophylliidae to the Agariciidae, making it the first extant representative of the latter family that is solitary and from deep water (azooxanthellate). The basal position of D. cervicornis within the agariciids implied by our analyses strengthens the case for inclusion of fossil species that were solitary, such as Trochoseris, in this family and suggests that the ancestor of this scleractinian family, extant members of which are predominantly colonial and zooxanthellate, may have been solitary and azooxanthellate.

AB Specimens of the deep-sea sipunculan Phascolosoma turnerae were retrieved over a 5-year period from fibrous collectors placed for various time intervals at a depth of 520 m in the Tongue of the Ocean, Bahamas. Sipunculans removed from the collectors were counted, weighed, and maintained in the laboratory at 14 degrees C, where they were monitored for gametogenic activity, spawning, development, and growth. In a 2-year study of seasonality, worms were most abundant in collectors retrieved in the spring and summer, and least abundant in the fall. Small animals (<0.01 g) were present in all seasons and represented =70% of the animals in winter collections. Large specimens (>0.16 g) were found from May through August, but in markedly lower frequencies than small animals. Over the entire study, spawning was observed in the laboratory from April through August. We inferred from analyses of size frequencies, growth, and spawning seasonality that settlement of the larvae occurs primarily from November through April and that oceanic larval life could be as short as 7 months and as long as 1214 months. Cleavage of fertilized eggs, as observed from laboratory spawnings, was spiral and holoblastic, resulting in a trochophore that transformed into a typical planktotrophic pelagosphera larva at 21 d. A few larvae survived as long as 2 months in the laboratory. This is the first study of biological processes in living sipunculans from the deep sea, and one of the first studies of living deep-sea wood dwellers.

AB Enteropneusts in the family Torquaratoridae were imaged using still and video cameras in the deep North Atlantic and then collected by remotely operated vehicles. From this material, we describe Yoda purpurata n. gen, n. sp., Tergivelum cinnabarinum n. sp., and Allapasus isidis n. sp. Individuals of the first two species were browsing completely exposed on the sea floor, whereas the specimen of the last species was encountered floating similar to 1 similar to m above the sea floor. Living specimens of Y. purpurata were 1219 similar to cm long and had a dark reddish-purple proboscis, collar, and genital wings (folded dorsally over the anterior region of the trunk). Members of this species were hermaphrodites (the first ever discovered in the phylum Hemichordata), with numerous separate testes and ovaries in the genital wings. Living specimens of T. cinnabarinum were 1226 similar to cm long and had a cinnabar-colored proboscis, collar, and back veils (arising from the anterior region of the trunk); sexes were separate, and body shape and internal morphology closely resemble those of its brown congener, T. baldwinae, from the eastern Pacific. The only specimen of A. isidis collected was a male 13 similar to cm long and pale yellow when alive. Its body shape was proportionally shorter and broader than that of its orange congener, A. aurantiacus, from the eastern Pacific, but the internal anatomy of the two species is virtually identical.

AB For the first time, carbon monoxide (CO) and formaldehyde (HCHO) satellite retrievals are used together with methane (CH4) and methyl choloroform (CH3CCl3 or MCF) surface measurements in an advanced inversion system. The CO and HCHO are respectively from the MOPITT and OMI instruments. The multi-species and multi-satellite dataset inversion is done for the 2005-2010 period. The robustness of our results is evaluated by comparing our posterior-modeled concentrations with several sets of independent measurements of atmospheric mixing ratios. The inversion leads to significant changes from the prior to the posterior, in terms of magnitude and seasonality of the CO and CH4 surface fluxes and of the HCHO production by non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC). The latter is significantly decreased, indicating an overestimation of the biogenic NMVOC emissions, such as isoprene, in the GEIA inventory. CO and CH4 surface emissions are increased by the inversion, from 1037 to 1394 TgCO and from 489 to 529 TgCH(4) on average for the 2005-2010 period. CH4 emissions present significant interannual variability and a joint CO-CH4 fluxes analysis reveals that tropical biomass burning probably played a role in the recent increase of atmospheric methane.

AB Soils have been identified as a major source (similar to 15 %) of global nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Parameterizations of soil NOx emissions (SNOx) commonly used in the current generation of chemical transport models were designed to capture mean seasonal behaviour. These parameterizations do not, however, respond quantitatively to the meteorological triggers that are observed to result in pulsed S-NOx. Here we present a new parameterization of S-NOx implemented within a global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem). The parameterization represents available nitrogen (N) in soils using biome specific emission factors, online wet-and dry-deposition of N, and fertilizer and manure N derived from a spatially explicit dataset, distributed using seasonality derived from data obtained by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer. Moreover, it represents the functional form of emissions derived from point measurements and ecosystem scale experiments including pulsing following soil wetting by rain or irrigation, and emissions that are a smooth function of soil moisture as well as temperature between 0 and 30 degrees C. This parameterization yields global above-soil S-NOx of 10.7 Tg N yr(-1), including 1.8 Tg N yr(-1) from fertilizer N input (1.5% of applied N) and 0.5 Tg N yr(-1) from atmospheric N deposition. Over the United States (US) Great Plains region, S-NOx are predicted to comprise 15-40% of the tropospheric NO2 column and increase column variability by a factor of 2-4 during the summer months due to chemical fertilizer application and warm temperatures. S-NOx enhancements of 50-80% of the simulated NO2 column are predicted over the African Sahel during the monsoon onset (April-June). In this region the day-to-day variability of column NO2 is increased by a factor of 5 due to pulsed-N emissions. We evaluate the model by comparison with observations of NO2 column density from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI). We find that the model is able to reproduce the observed interannual variability of NO2 (induced by pulsed-N emissions) over the US Great Plains. We also show that the OMI mean (median) NO2 observed during the overpass following first rainfall over the Sahel is 49% (23 %) higher than in the five days preceding. The measured NO2 on the day after rainfall is still 23% (5 %) higher, providing a direct measure of the pulse's decay time of 1-2 days. This is consistent with the pulsing representation used in our parameterization and much shorter than 5-14 day pulse decay length used in current models.

AB Aboveground tropical tree biomass and carbon storage estimates commonly ignore tree height (H). We estimate the effect of incorporating H on tropics-wide forest biomass estimates in 327 plots across four continents using 42 656 H and diameter measurements and harvested trees from 20 sites to answer the following questions:
1. What is the best H-model form and geographic unit to include in biomass models to minimise site-level uncertainty in estimates of destructive biomass?
2. To what extent does including H estimates derived in (1) reduce uncertainty in biomass estimates across all 327 plots?
3. What effect does accounting for H have on plot- and continental-scale forest biomass estimates?
The mean relative error in biomass estimates of destructively harvested trees when including H (mean 0.06), was half that when excluding H (mean 0.13). Power- and Weibull-H models provided the greatest reduction in uncertainty, with regional Weibull-H models preferred because they reduce uncertainty in smaller-diameter classes (< 40 cm D) that store about one-third of biomass per hectare in most forests. Propagating the relationships from destructively harvested tree biomass to each of the 327 plots from across the tropics shows that including H reduces errors from 41.8 Mg ha(-1) (range 6.6 to 112.4) to 8.0 Mg ha(-1) (-2.5 to 23.0). For all plots, aboveground live biomass was -52.2 Mg ha(-1) (-82.0 to -20.3 bootstrapped 95% CI), or 13%, lower when including H estimates, with the greatest relative reductions in estimated biomass in forests of the Brazilian Shield, east Africa, and Australia, and relatively little change in the Guiana Shield, central Africa and southeast Asia. Appreciably different stand structure was observed among regions across the tropical continents, with some storing significantly more biomass in small diameter stems, which affects selection of the best height models to reduce uncertainty and biomass reductions due to H. After accounting for variation in H, total biomass per hectare is greatest in Australia, the Guiana Shield, Asia, central and east Africa, and lowest in east-central Amazonia, W. Africa, W. Amazonia, and the Brazilian Shield (descending order). Thus, if tropical forests span 1668 million km(2) and store 285 Pg C (estimate including H), then applying our regional relationships implies that carbon storage is overestimated by 35 Pg C (31-39 bootstrapped 95% CI) if H is ignored, assuming that the sampled plots are an unbiased statistical representation of all tropical forest in terms of biomass and height factors. Our results show that tree H is an important allometric factor that needs to be included in future forest biomass estimates to reduce error in estimates of tropical carbon stocks and emissions due to deforestation.

ID STARS; ASSOCIATION
AB Cygnus OB2 is the nearest example of a massive star forming region, containing over 50 O-type stars and hundreds of B-type stars. We have analyzed two Chandra pointings in Cyg OB2, detecting similar to 1,700 X-ray sources, of which similar to 1,450 are thought to be members of the association. Optical and near-IR photometry has been obtained for similar to 90% of these sources from recent deep Galactic plane surveys. We have performed isochrone fits to the near-IR color-magnitude diagram, deriving ages of 3.5(-1.0)(+0.75) and 5.25(-1.0)(+1.5) Myrs for sources in the two fields, both with considerable spreads around the pre-MS isochrones. The presence of a second population in the region, somewhat older than the present-day O-type stars, has been suggested by other authors and fits with the ages derived here. The fraction of sources with inner circumstellar disks (as traced by the K-band excess) is found to be very low, but appropriate for a population of age similar to 5Myrs. We measure the stellar mass functions and find a power-law slope of Gamma = -1.09 +/- 0.13, in good agreement with the global mean value estimated by Kroupa. A steepening of the mass function at high masses is observed and we suggest this is due to the presence of the previous generation of stars that have lost their most massive members. Finally, combining our mass function and an estimate of the radial density profile of the association suggests a total mass of Cyg OB2 of similar to 3 x 10(4) M-circle dot, similar to that of many of our Galaxy's most massive star forming regions.

AB Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are often obscured by dust and gas. It is normally assumed that the obscuration occurs in an oblate "obscuring torus", that begins at the radius at which the most refractive dust can remain solid. The most famous form of this torus is a donut-shaped region of molecular gas with a large scale-height. While this model is elegant and accounts for many phenomena at once, it does not hold up to detailed tests. Instead the obscuration in AGNs must occur on a wide range of scales and be due to a minimum of three physically distinct absorbers. Slicing the "torus" into these three regions will allow interesting physics of the AGN to be extracted.

AB Parameters in the photosynthesis-irradiance (P-E) relationship of phytoplankton were measured at weekly to bi-weekly intervals for 20 yr at 6 stations on the Rhode River, Maryland (USA). Variability in the light-saturated photosynthetic rate, P-max(B), was partitioned into interannual, seasonal, and spatial components. The seasonal component of the variance was greatest, followed by interannual and then spatial. Physiological models of P-max(B) based on balanced growth or photoacclimation predicted the overall mean and most of the range, but not individual observations, and failed to capture important features of the seasonal and interannual variability. P-max(B) correlated most strongly with temperature and the concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon (IC), with lesser correlations with chlorophyll a, diffuse attenuation coefficient, and a principal component of the species composition. In statistical models, temperature and IC correlated best with the seasonal pattern, but temperature peaked in late July, out of phase with P-max(B), which peaked in September, coincident with the maximum in monthly averaged IC concentration. In contrast with the seasonal pattern, temperature did not contribute to interannual variation, which instead was governed by IC and the additional lesser correlates. Spatial variation was relatively weak and uncorrelated with ancillary measurements. The results demonstrate that both the overall distribution of P-max(B) and its relationship with environmental correlates may vary from year to year. Coefficients in empirical statistical models became stable after including 7 to 10 yr of data. The main correlates of P-max(B) are amenable to automated monitoring, so that future estimates of primary production might be made without labor-intensive incubations.

AB Adults and larvae of Leptotrachelus dorsalis (Fabricius), the Sugarcane Savior Beetle, live in association with grasses, the larvae in the appressed leaf axils. Both adult and larval L. dorsalis eat larvae of the Sugarcane Borer, Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius), and perhaps other insects living in the confines of the leaf sheaths of that and other grass-like species. The geographic range of L. dorsalis extends from Kansas in the west to the Atlantic seaboard, north as far as Ontario, Canada and south to Cuba; it is an eastern species of North America and the Caribbean. Larval character attributes that are shared with a related ctenodactyline, Askalaphium depressum (Bates), provide a preliminary basis for characterization of the immatures of tribe Ctenodactylini.

AB We have developed a new nested-grid mercury (Hg) simulation over North America with a 1/2A degrees latitude by 2/3A degrees longitude horizontal resolution employing the GEOS-Chem global chemical transport model. Emissions, chemistry, deposition, and meteorology are self-consistent between the global and nested domains. Compared to the global model (4A degrees latitude by 5A degrees longitude), the nested model shows improved skill at capturing the high spatial and temporal variability of Hg wet deposition over North America observed by the Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) in 2008-2009. The nested simulation resolves features such as higher deposition due to orographic precipitation, land/ocean contrast and and predicts more efficient convective rain scavenging of Hg over the southeast United States. However, the nested model overestimates Hg wet deposition over the Ohio River Valley region (ORV) by 27%. We modify anthropogenic emission speciation profiles in the US EPA National Emission Inventory (NEI) to account for the rapid in-plume reduction of reactive to elemental Hg (IPR simulation). This leads to a decrease in the model bias to -2.3% over the ORV region. Over the contiguous US, the correlation coefficient (r) between MDN observations and our IPR simulation increases from 0.60 to 0.78. The IPR nested simulation generally reproduces the seasonal cycle in surface concentrations of speciated Hg from the Atmospheric Mercury Network (AMNet) and Canadian Atmospheric Mercury Network (CAMNet). In the IPR simulation, annual mean gaseous and particulate-bound Hg(II) are within 140% and 11% of observations, respectively. In contrast, the simulation with unmodified anthropogenic Hg speciation profiles overestimates these observations by factors of 4 and 2 for gaseous and particulate-bound Hg(II), respectively. The nested model shows improved skill at capturing the horizontal variability of Hg observed over California during the ARCTAS aircraft campaign. The nested model suggests that North American anthropogenic emissions account for 10-22% of Hg wet deposition flux over the US, depending on the anthropogenic emissions speciation profile assumed. The modeled percent contribution can be as high as 60% near large point sources in ORV. Our results indicate that the North American anthropogenic contribution to dry deposition is 13-20%.

AB We use 2005-2009 satellite observations of formaldehyde (HCHO) columns from the OMI instrument to infer biogenic isoprene emissions at monthly 1 x 1A degrees resolution over the African continent. Our work includes new approaches to remove biomass burning influences using OMI absorbing aerosol optical depth data (to account for transport of fire plumes) and anthropogenic influences using AATSR satellite data for persistent small-flame fires (gas flaring). The resulting biogenic HCHO columns (Omega(HCHO)) from OMI follow closely the distribution of vegetation patterns in Africa. We infer isoprene emission (E-ISOP) from the local sensitivity S = delta Omega(HCHO) / delta E-ISOP derived with the GEOS-Chem chemical transport model using two alternate isoprene oxidation mechanisms, and verify the validity of this approach using AMMA aircraft observations over West Africa and a longitudinal transect across central Africa. Displacement error (smearing) is diagnosed by anomalously high values of S and the corresponding data are removed. We find significant sensitivity of S to NOx under low-NOx conditions that we fit to a linear function of tropospheric column NO2. We estimate a 40% error in our inferred isoprene emissions under high-NOx conditions and 40-90% under low-NOx conditions. Our results suggest that isoprene emission from the central African rainforest is much lower than estimated by the state-of-the-science MEGAN inventory.

AB We show that the electric dipole-dipole interaction between a pair of polar molecules undergoes an all-out transformation when superimposed by a far-off-resonant optical field. The combined interaction potential becomes tunable by variation of wavelength, polarisation and intensity of the optical field and its dependence on the intermolecular separation exhibits a crossover from an inverse-power to an oscillating behaviour. The ability thereby offered to control molecular interactions opens up avenues toward the creation and manipulation of novel phases of ultracold polar gases among whose characteristics is a long-range entanglement of the dipoles' mutual orientation. We devised an accurate analytic model of such optical-field-dressed dipole-dipole interaction potentials, which enables a straightforward access to the optical-field parameters required for the design of intermolecular interactions in the laboratory.

AB The recent solar minimum, marking the end of solar cycle 23, has been unique in a number of ways. In particular, the polar photospheric flux was substantially weaker, coronal holes were notably smaller, and unipolar streamers were considerably more prevalent than previous minima. To understand the origins of some of these phenomena, we have computed global solutions using a three-dimensional, time-dependentMHD model of the solar corona and heliosphere. In this report, we present a brief overview of a selection of model results, illustrating: (1) how observations are being used to better constrain model properties; and (2) how the model results can be applied to understanding complex coronal and interplanetary phenomena, and, specifically, unipolar streamers.

AB Understanding the evolution of young stellar objects (YSOs) from a protostar to a main-sequence star is key to understanding the origins and evolution of planetary systems. High-resolution polarimetric observations from the Hubble Space Telescope Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) of objects known to span the earliest stellar evolutionary phases are combined with (1) 3-D radiative transfer codes, and (2) a grid of dust grain models, to gain insight into the initial phases of dust grain growth and evolution away from an interstellar medium (ISM) distribution. Fractional polarization is a strong function of wavelength; therefore by developing detailed models of polarimetric images in the infrared, we can begin to sensitively constrain not only the geometry and optical depth of the scattering medium, but also the grain size distribution. We are studying four YSOs known to span the earliest stellar evolutionary phases (IRAS04302+2247 (Class I), IRAS04016+2610 (Class I), CoKu Tau/1 (Class I/II) and DG Tau B (Class I/II)) as their circumstellar disks transition from containing primarily small ISM dust grains to larger size grains indicative of protoplanetary disks. Results show that an ISM dust grain distribution under-predicts the NICMOS polarization observations. Therefore, the dust grain composition surrounding these YSOs no longer behaves like ISM grains at 2 mu m. We present data and model comparisons of YSO fractional polarization.

AB STAUFFER, F. W., J. STAUFFER & L. J. DORR (2012). Bonpland and Humboldt specimens, field notes, and herbaria; new insights from a study of the monocotyledons collected in Venezuela. Condollea 67: 75-130. In English, English and French abstracts.
The monocotyledon collections emanating from Humboldt and Bonpland's expedition are used to trace the complicated ways in which botanical specimens collected by the expedition were returned to Europe, to describe the present location and to explore the relationship between specimens, field notes, and descriptions published in the multi-volume "Nova Genera et Species Plantarum" (1816-1825). Collections in five European herbaria were searched for monocotyledons collected by the explorers. In Paris, a search of the Bonpland Herbarium (P-Bonpl.), the most important repository of the expedition's botanical collections, uncovered about 350 specimens of monocotyledon and more or less the same number of species. The Venezuelan material represents 86 species belonging to 57 genera and 19 families. Curiously, 235 species of monocotyledon described in the "Nova Genera et Species Plantarum" are not represented now by specimens in the Bonpland Herbarium although 32 of these 235 are represented by illustrations (i.e., grisailles). No material whatsoever could be found for 203 species of monocotyledon that were expected to be documented by specimens in this herbarium. In Berlin, the Willdenow Herbarium (B-W) holds at least 126 specimens of monocotyledon from Venezuela, corresponding to the same number of species distributed in 64 genera and 26 families.
The Berlin herbarium (B) received expedition collections when it purchased the herbarium of Karl Sigismund Kunth. We discovered several specimens of monocotyledon from Venezuela in the herbarium HAL, and they are duplicates of specimens in the Willdenow Herbarium that were removed by D. P. L. von Schlechtendal. No monocotyledon material tied to Humboldt and Bonpland was discovered in the herbarium MA-CAV even though there is evidence that seed was sent by the explorers from Venezuela, cultivated in Madrid, and on occasion these garden-grown plants vouchered as herbarium specimens. Similarly, no monocotyledon material was found in the herbarium LR, despite evidence in correspondence that Bonpland sent specimens to his older brother. We believe that evidence contained in the field books favors describing the botanical collections as being made by "Bonpland and Humboldt" and not "Humboldt and Bonpland", as is commonly done. The same field books, correspondence, and the introduction to "Nova Genera et Species Plantarum" favor a collective authorship such as "Kunth, Bonpland & Humboldt" rather than "Kunth in H.B.K." for taxa described in this work. This seems particularly appropriate for those taxa described in these volumes that are not vouchered now by specimens or illustrations in P-Bonpl.

AB Combining measurements of the galaxy power spectrum and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is a powerful means of constraining the summed mass of neutrino species Sigma m(v), but is subject to systematic uncertainties due to non-linear structure formation, redshift-space distortions and galaxy bias. We empirically test the robustness of neutrino mass results to these effects by separately analyzing power spectra of red and blue galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-II) Data Release 7 (DR7), combined with the CMB five-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP5) data. The between upper limits on neutrino mass for red and blue galaxies is approximately 1 sigma from the value expected from mock catalogs for most models and k ranges tested. This indicates good agreement for current data but hints at possible issues for next-generation surveys. More details are available in [1].

AB Most studies addressing the development of animal communication have focused on signal production rather than receiver decoding, and similar emphasis has been given to learning over nonlearning. But receivers are an integral part of a communication network, and nonlearned mechanisms appear to be more ubiquitous than learned ones in the communication systems of most animals. Here we review the results of recent experiments and outline future directions for integrative studies on the development of a primarily nonlearned behaviour-recognition of communication signals during ontogeny in a tropical frog. The results suggest that antecedents to adult behaviours might be a common feature of developing organisms. Given the essential role that acoustic communication serves in reproduction for many organisms and that receivers can exert strong influence on the evolution of signals, understanding the evolutionary developmental basis of mate recognition will provide new insights into the evolution of communication systems.

AB Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that soil fertility may play an important role in explaining Basin-wide variations in forest biomass, growth and stem turnover rates.
Soil samples were collected in a total of 59 different forest plots across the Amazon Basin and analysed for exchangeable cations, carbon, nitrogen and pH, with several phosphorus fractions of likely different plant availability also quantified. Physical properties were additionally examined and an index of soil physical quality developed. Bivariate relationships of soil and climatic properties with above-ground wood productivity, stand-level tree turnover rates, above-ground wood biomass and wood density were first examined with multivariate regression models then applied. Both forms of analysis were undertaken with and without considerations regarding the underlying spatial structure of the dataset.
Despite the presence of autocorrelated spatial structures complicating many analyses, forest structure and dynamics were found to be strongly and quantitatively related to edaphic as well as climatic conditions. Basin-wide differences in stand-level turnover rates are mostly influenced by soil physical properties with variations in rates of coarse wood production mostly related to soil phosphorus status. Total soil P was a better predictor of wood production rates than any of the fractionated organic-or inorganic-P pools. This suggests that it is not only the immediately available P forms, but probably the entire soil phosphorus pool that is interacting with forest growth on longer timescales.
A role for soil potassium in modulating Amazon forest dynamics through its effects on stand-level wood density was also detected. Taking this into account, otherwise enigmatic variations in stand-level biomass across the Basin were then accounted for through the interacting effects of soil physical and chemical properties with climate. A hypothesis of selfmaintaining forest dynamic feedback mechanisms initiated by edaphic conditions is proposed. It is further suggested that this is a major factor determining endogenous disturbance levels, species composition, and forest productivity across the Amazon Basin.

AB Many organisms time reproduction with physical and biological cycles that affect offspring survival. In the marine environment, a common pattern is the release of planktonic larvae during large-amplitude nocturnal tides, which may reduce losses due to predation. However, if the duration of embryonic development depends on temperature, changes in temperature can lead to errors in timing. Organisms may reduce such errors either by changing the timing of onset of incubation or by selecting the temperatures to which embryos are exposed. We conducted field and laboratory experiments with 2 species of fiddler crabs to examine the effects of temperature and temperature variation on the timing of larval release and synchrony of release among females. As expected, the duration of incubation increased with decreasing temperature in both species. In the field when temperature was low, Uca terpsichores released larvae earlier than expected, indicating that shifts in timing of mating reduced potential errors in timing of release. However, when temperature changed during incubation, accuracy and precision in the timing of release decreased. U. deichmanni maintained timing and synchrony of release despite variable temperature in the field, but in cold water in the laboratory, they incubated eggs longer than in the field and released larvae late. These differences suggest that U. deichmanni regulates the incubation period in the field. U. terpsichores may be less able than U. deichmanni to adjust to rapid variation in temperature that may accompany climate change, which could result in large-scale interspecific differences in larval survival and recruitment.

AB Using OMI (Ozone Monitoring Instrument) tropospheric NO2 columns and a nested-grid 3-D global chemical transport model (GEOS-Chem), we investigated the growth in NOx emissions from coal-fired power plants and their contributions to the growth in NO2 columns in 2005-2007 in China. We first developed a unit-based power plant NOx emission inventory for 2005-2007 to support this investigation. The total capacities of coal-fired power generation have increased by 48.8% in 2005-2007, with 92.2% of the total capacity additions coming from generator units with size >= 300 MW. The annual NOx emissions from coal-fired power plants were estimated to be 8.11 Tg NO2 for 2005 and 9.58 Tg NO2 for 2007, respectively. The modeled summer average tropospheric NO2 columns were highly correlated (R-2 = 0.79-0.82) with OMI measurements over grids dominated by power plant emissions, with only 7-14% low bias, lending support to the high accuracy of the unit-based power plant NOx emission inventory. The ratios of OMI-derived annual and summer average tropospheric NO2 columns between 2007 and 2005 indicated that most of the grids with significant NO2 increases were related to power plant construction activities. OMI had the capability to trace the changes of NOx emissions from individual large power plants in cases where there is less interference from other NOx sources. Scenario runs from GEOS-Chem model suggested that the new power plants contributed 18.5% and 10% to the annual average NO2 columns in 2007 in Inner Mongolia and North China, respectively. The massive new power plant NOx emissions significantly changed the local NO2 profiles, especially in less polluted areas. A sensitivity study found that changes of NO2 shape factors due to including new power plant emissions increased the summer average OMI tropospheric NO2 columns by 3.8-17.2% for six selected locations, indicating that the updated emission information could help to improve the satellite retrievals.

AB In recognition of increasing coastal development, warming seas, species invasions, and numerous systematic revisions, we have reviewed the fouling community literature to update the species composition and geographic distributions exhibited by this fauna along the east coast of the USA. We found 1443 records for 317 species. The Bryozoa were the most prevalent phylum in terms of numbers of records and species, but 2 invasive ascidians were the most frequently reported species. Among all species, 9.1% of the fauna have been reported to be invasive. Most species were represented by only 1 to 3 records, suggesting that this fauna has been underrepresented in the literature. The number of species estimated per state peaked in Florida, North Carolina, and Massachusetts, where provincial faunas overlap. Although Cape Cod in Massachusetts and Cape Hatteras in North Carolina represent putative faunal boundaries along the east coast, 63% of the fouling organisms have distributional limits which extend well beyond one or both of these capes. A large proportion of this fauna is widely distributed from New England to the South Atlantic Bight, yet 22 northern species and 96 southern species have restricted distributions. Analysis of community-level studies also revealed regional differences, especially between New England and southern states. These patterns are indicative of latitudinal variation and the transitional nature of this fauna. Given the strong representation of subtropical/tropical species and the prospects for continued warming of the ocean, we anticipate more species invasions and northward extensions of warm-water species along much of the east coast.

AB Carbon monoxide is after H-2 the most abundant molecule identified in the interstellar medium (ISM), and is used as a major tracer for the gas phase physical conditions. Accreted at the surface of water-rich icy grains, CO is considered to be the starting point of a complex organic - presumably prebiotic - chemistry. Non-thermal desorption processes, and especially photodesorption by UV photons, are seen as the main cause that drives the gas-to-ice CO balance in the colder parts of the ISM. The process is known to be efficient and wavelength-dependent, but, the underlying mechanism and the physical-chemical parameters governing the photodesorption are still largely unknown. Using monochromatized photons from a synchrotron beamline, we reveal that the molecular mechanism responsible for CO photoejection is an indirect, (sub) surface-located process. The local environment of the molecules plays a key role in the photodesorption efficiency, and is quenched by at least an order of magnitude for CO interacting with a water ice surface.

AB Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi (Anacardiaceae), native to South America, has invaded different habitats throughout south and central Florida. In recent surveys of natural enemies conducted in Salvador, Brazil (native range), a new species in the genus Paectes (Lepidoptera: Euteliidae) was found feeding on foliage of Brazilian peppertree. The objectives of this study were to describe the adult, larva and pupa and to examine the life history parameters of the new species, Paectes longiformis Pogue, a potential biocontrol agent of Brazilian peppertree. Survival and development of immature stages were examined at six constant temperatures (ranging from 16 to 34 degrees C). All stages of P. longiformis were exposed to 0 degrees C for 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 d, and lethal times were calculated (Ltime(50), Ltime(90)). Paectes longiformis laid eggs singly on the plant foliage and completed five instars including a non-feeding pre-pupal stage that moved to the soil where it spun a cocoon. Complete development occurred at temperatures from 19 to 31 degrees C, the lower developmental threshold was estimated to be 11.5 degrees C and 454 degree-days were required to complete development from egg to adult. The lethal times at 0 degrees C (Ltime(50) = 1 d, Ltime(90) = 5 d) were used to construct isothermal lines to predict areas of establishment in the continental US. The predicted distribution includes the southeastern states including Florida, in addition to southern Texas and Arizona, and California. Overall, this study provides a species description, along with baseline information about the biology and temperature requirements of P. longiformis, a potential biological control agent of Brazilian peppertree.

AB The greatest diversity of eukaryotic species is within the microbial eukaryotes, the protists, with plants and fungi/metazoa representing just two of the estimated seventy five lineages of eukaryotes. Protists are a diverse group characterized by unusual genome features and a wide range of genome sizes from 8.2 Mb in the apicomplexan parasite Babesia bovis to 112,000-220,050 Mb in the dinoflagellate Prorocentrum micans. Protists possess numerous cellular, molecular and biochemical traits not observed in "text-book" model organisms. These features challenge some of the concepts and assumptions about the regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Like multicellular eukaryotes, many protists encode multiple eIF4Es, but few functional studies have been undertaken except in parasitic species. An earlier phylogenetic analysis of protist eIF4Es indicated that they cannot be grouped within the three classes that describe eIF4E family members from multicellular organisms. Many more protist sequences are now available from which three clades can be recognized that are distinct from the plant/fungi/metazoan classes. Understanding of the protist eIF4Es will be facilitated as more sequences become available particularly for the under-represented opisthokonts and amoebozoa. Similarly, a better understanding of eIF4Es within each clade will develop as more functional studies of protist eIF4Es are completed.

AB Species of the cobweb spider genus Anelosimus range from solitary to subsocial to social, and sociality has evolved repeatedly within the genus. Thus, this genus allows studies of the traits that play a role in social evolution. However, taxonomic knowledge of Anelosimus is geographically narrow and nearly all sociobiological studies have been done in the Americas. Only one behaviourally unknown species has been described from all of Australasia. Here, I describe seven new Anelosimus from Papua New Guinea (Anelosimus potmosbi, sp. nov., Anelosimus pomio, sp. nov., Anelosimus eidur, sp. nov. and Anelosimus luckyi, sp. nov.), Bali (Anelosimus bali, sp. nov.), Australia (Anelosimus pratchetti, sp. nov.) and an unknown locality (Anelosimus terraincognita, sp. nov.), ranging from solitary to subsocial. A phylogenetic analysis supports the inclusion of these species in Anelosimus, and suggests that solitary Papuan species represent a second reversal from subsocial behaviour. Both solitary species inhabit the beachfront, a habitat that appears not to be conducive to social behaviour in spiders. Subsocial species, as in other parts of the world, are found in montane tropical forests of Papua New Guinea, and at relatively high latitudes in Australia. Thus, a global ecological pattern of sociality in Anelosimus is emerging as taxonomic, phylogenetic and ethological knowledge extends beyond the Americas.

AB The phylogenetic structure of communities can reveal forces shaping community assembly, but the vast majority of work on phylogenetic community structure has been conducted in mature ecosystems. Here, we present an analysis of the phylogenetic structure of three Neotropical rain forest communities undergoing succession. In each site, the net relatedness of the community is initially high and consistently declines during succession. This pattern is evident both when comparing plots of different age classes and when comparing stem size classes within each plot: the oldest plots and the youngest stem cohorts. representing the most advanced stages of succession, have the lowest relatedness. Our results suggest that succession leaves a distinct signature in the phylogenetic structure of communities, which may reflect an increasing role of biotic interactions in community assembly during succession. We discuss theoretical explanations for the decline in community phylogenetic relatedness during succession, and suggest directions for future study. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

AB Functional diversity (FD) 'those components of biodiversity that influence how an ecosystem operates or functions' is a promising tool to assess the effect of biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning. FD has received ample theoretical attention, but empirical studies are limited. We evaluate changes in species richness and FD during tropical secondary forest succession after shifting cultivation in Mexico. We also test whether species richness is a good predictor of FD. FD was calculated based on a combination of nine functional traits, and based on two individual traits important for primary production (specific leaf area) and carbon sequestration (wood density). Stand basal area was a good predictor of successional changes in diversity and FD, in contrast to fallow age. Incidence-based FD indices increased logarithmically with stand basal area, but FD weighted by species' importance values lacked pattern with succession. Species richness and diversity are strong predictors of FD when all traits were considered; linear relationships indicate that all species are equally functionally complementary, suggesting there is little functional redundancy. In contrast, when FD was calculated for individual traits and weighted for abundances, species richness may underestimate FD.
Selection of functional trait(s) critically determines FD, with large consequences for studies relating biodiversity to ecosystem functioning. Careful consideration of the traits required to capture the ecosystem process of interest is thus essential. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

AB Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and the newly synthesized Alexa532-ET1 were used to study the dynamics of the endothelin ETA receptor-ligand complex alone and under the influence of a semisynthetic selective antagonist and a fungal extract on living A10 cells. Dose-dependent increase of inositol phosphate production was seen for Alexa532-ET1, and its binding was reduced to 8% by the selective endothelin ETA antagonist BQ-123, confirming the specific binding of Alexa532-ET1 to the endothelin ETA receptor. Two different lateral mobilities of the receptor-ligand complexes within the cell membrane were found allowing the discrimination of different states for this complex. BQ-123 showed a strong binding affinity to the "inactive" receptor state characterized by the slow diffusion time constant. A similar effect was observed for the fungal extract, which completely displaced Alexa532-ET1 from its binding to the "inactive" receptor state.

AB Due to chronic high densities and preferential browsing, white-tailed deer have significant impacts on woody and herbaceous plants. These impacts have ramifications for animals that share resources and across trophic levels. High deer densities result from an absence of predators or high plant productivity, often due to human habitat modifications, and from the desires of stakeholders that set deer management goals based on cultural, rather than biological, carrying capacity. Success at maintaining forest ecosystems require regulating deer below biological carrying capacity, as measured by ecological impacts. Control methods limit reproduction through modifications in habitat productivity or increase mortality through increasing predators or hunting. Hunting is the primary deer management tool and relies on active participation of citizens. Hunters are capable of reducing deer densities but struggle with creating densities sufficiently low to ensure the persistence of rare species. Alternative management models may be necessary to achieve densities sufficiently below biological carrying capacity. Regardless of the population control adopted, success should be measured by ecological benchmarks and not solely by cultural acceptance.

AB The exodus of Third Reich scientific and engineering personnel after World War II has traditionally been understood through its impact on the Cold War missile and space race. This article assesses the state of scholarship on this topic globally, particularly in aerospace professions, in the process drawing some conclusions on the total numbers, skill composition and Nazi backgrounds of the Germans, the stages of movement, and the technological impact of their movement. Such an assessment not only demonstrates the geographical weaknesses in existing knowledge, notably in the scholarship on Britain, France and much of the Third World, but it also points us towards a global, transnational history of the phenomenon, as cross-border flows of people, information, and technology grew beyond the bounds of the victorious powers' national programs for exploiting German knowledge.

AB We report on the location of the gamma-ray emission region in flares of the BL Lacertae object OJ287 at > 14 pc from the central supermassive black hole. We employ data from multi-spectral range (total flux and linear polarization) monitoring programs combined with sequences of ultra-high-resolution 7 mm VLBA images. The correlation between the brightest gamma-ray and mm flares is found to be statistically significant. The two gamma-ray peaks, detected by Fermi-LAT, that we report here happened at the rising phase of two exceptionally bright mm flares accompanied by sharp linear polarization peaks. The VLBA images show that these mm flares in total flux and polarization degree occurred in a jet region at > 14 pc from the innermost jet region. The time coincidence of the brighter gamma-ray flare and its corresponding mm linear polarization peak evidences that both the gamma-ray and mm outbursts occur > 14 pc from the central black hole. We find two sharp optical flares occurring at the peak times of the two reported gamma-ray flares. This is interpreted as the gamma-ray flares being produced by synchrotron self-Compton scattering of optical photons from the flares triggered by the interaction of moving knots with a stationary conical shock in the jet.

AB A predator consuming multiple prey species usually causes indirect effects. Apparent mutualism results when multiple prey species reduce predation risk for each other by altering a predator's functional response. Short-term apparent competition occurs when multiple prey species increase predation risks for each other through the numerical response, i.e. increasing the predator's birth rate, or aggregative response, i.e. attracting a higher density of predators. Our objectives in this study were to determine the aggregative response and 2-prey functional response of a predator and to examine indirect effects over a range of prey densities. We used the clam Macoma balthica and juvenile blue crabs Callinectes sapidus as prey for adult blue crabs. In laboratory experiments, we determined the single-prey functional responses of the crabs to each prey species and the 2-prey functional response. We combined the 2-prey functional response with the known blue crab aggregative response to clams to estimate field predation rates. Our model predicts that at low prey densities, clams and juvenile blue crabs exhibit apparent mutualism, whereas at high clam densities, this relation switches to short-term apparent competition. These unexpected results highlight the need to incorporate multiple aspects of predation at multiple scales when considering indirect effects.

AB High resolution ultraviolet and X-ray spectra show that material outflow occur from the close neighbourhoods of super-massive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGN). The absorption features seen in the high resolution soft X-ray spectra is attributed to gas which is conventionally termed as the warm absorber (WA) and often the thermal equilibrium (stability) curve is used as a theoretical tool to offer insights into the nature of the WA. The shape of the stability curve is determined by factors like the spectral energy distribution of the ionizing flux and the chemical composition of the absorbing gas. We found that the stability curves obtained under the same set of assumptions for the prevalent physical conditions in the AGN environment, but using recently derived dielectronic recombination rates, give significantly different results from what is predicted with older atomic data. The variations in phase space region of the stability curves corresponding to WAs, lead to different physical predictions. The results obtained with the current dielectronic recombination rate coefficients are more reliable because the WA models along the stability curve have computed, updated coefficient values.

The paper charts a little of the evolution of these models and their data through the seventies and eighties on into this century at Culham. The paper concludes with the state of efforts to enable easy, universal access to spectral analysis across the scope of Culham activity, of which it is hoped Nicol would approve.

AB The indigenous North American micropterigid genus Epimartyria Walsingham, 1898 is revised. Three species are recognized, including E. auricrinella Walsingham, 1898 which occurs widely over much of the northeastern United States and Canada, a new species, E. bimaculella Davis & Landry from northwestern United States and Canada, and E. pardella (Walsingham, 1880) from northern California to northern Oregon. The larva of E. auricrinella is described in detail, supplemented with illustrations of the external structure of the larval integument. The larval plastron is described and illustrated for Epimartyria, and this is compared with the plastrons of Neomicropteryx Issiki, 1931 and Micropterix Hubner, 1825. COI barcode sequences show that the three species are genetically distinct, congruent with morphological differences. Marked haplotype divergence within some E. auricrinella populations appears to be unrelated to morphology, geography or phenology.

AB We present a summary of Swift and Suzaku X-ray observations of the 2010 nova outburst of the symbiotic star, V407 Cyg. The Suzaku spectrum obtained on day 30 indicates the presence of the supersoft component from the white dwarf surface, as well as optically thin component from the shock between the nova ejecta and the Mira wind. The Swift observations then allow us to track the evolution of both components from day 4 to day 150. Most notable is the sudden brightening of the optically thin component around day 20. We identify this as the time when the blast wave reached the immediate vicinity of the photosphere of the Mira. We have developed a simpe model of the blast wave - wind interaction that can reproduce the gross features of the X-ray evolution of V407 Cyg. If the model is correct, the binary separation is likely to be larger than previously suggested and the mass-loss rate of the Mira is likely to be relatively low.

AB Polyandry is a paradox: why do females mate multiple times when a single ejaculate often provides enough sperm for lifetime egg production? Gowaty et al. addressed explanations for polyandry in Drosophila pseudoobscura from the perspective of hypotheses based on sex differences in costs of reproduction (CoR). Contrary to CoR, Gowaty et al. showed that (1) a single ejaculate was inadequate for lifetime egg production; (2) polyandry provided fitness benefits to females beyond provision of adequate sperm and (3) fitness benefits of polyandry were not offset by costs. Here, I discuss predictions of the ad hoc hypotheses of CoR and three alternative hypotheses to CoR to facilitate a discussion and further development of a strong inference approach to experiments on the adaptive significance of polyandry for females. Each of the hypotheses makes testable predictions; simultaneous tests of the predictions will provide a strong inference approach to understanding the adaptive significance of multiple mating. I describe a sex-symmetric experiment meant to evaluate variation in fitness among lifelong virgins (V); monogamous females and males with one copulation (M-OC); monogamous females and males with multiple copulations (M-MC); P-AND, polyandrous females; and P-GYN, polygynous males. Last, I recommend the study of many different species, while taking care in choice of study species and attention to the assumptions of specific hypotheses. I particularly urge the study of many more Drosophila species both in laboratory and the wild to understand the "nature of flies in nature," where opportunities and constraints mold evolutionary responses.

AB Tetanuran theropods represent the majority of Mesozoic predatory dinosaur diversity and the lineage leading to extant Aves. Thus their history is relevant to understanding the evolution of dinosaur diversity, Mesozoic terrestrial ecosystems, and modern birds. Previously, the fragmentary and poorly sampled fossil record of basal (non-coelurosaur) tetanurans led to uncertainties regarding their basic interrelationships. This in turn prevented determining the relationships of many incompletely known taxa that nonetheless document a global radiation spanning more than 120 million years. We undertook an exhaustive examination of all basal tetanurans and all existing character data, taking advantage of recent discoveries and adding new morphological, temporal and geographic data. Our cladistic analysis of 61 taxa achieved significantly improved phylogenetic resolution. These results position several 'stem' taxa basal to a succession of monophyletic clades (Megalosauroidea, Allosauroidea and Coelurosauria). Megalosauroids include nearly 20 taxa arrayed amongst a basalmost clade (Piatnitzkysauridae, fam. nov.) and the sister taxa Spinosauridae and Megalosauridae; the latter includes two subfamilies, Megalosaurinae and Afrovenatorinae subfam. nov. Allosauroidea contains a diverse Metriacanthosauridae (= Sinraptoridae), Neovenatoridae, Carcharodontosauridae and a reduced Allosauridae. Finally, we assessed more than 40 fragmentary forms and hundreds of additional reported tetanuran occurrences. Tetanuran evolution was characterized by repeated acquisitions of giant body size and at least two general skull forms, but few variations in locomotor morphology. Despite parallel diversification of multiple lineages, there is evidence for a succession of 'dominant' clades. Tetanurae first appeared by the Early Jurassic and was globally distributed by the Middle Jurassic. Several major clades appeared prior to the breakup of Pangaea; as such their absence in specific regions, and at later times, must be due to poor sampling, dispersal failure and/or regional extinction. Finally, we outline a general perspective on Mesozoic terrestrial biogeography that should apply to most clades that appeared before the Late Jurassic.

REASSESSMENT; TEMPERATURES
AB Pelomedusoides comprises five moderate-sized extant genera with an entirely Southern Hemisphere distribution, but the fossil record of these turtles reveals a great diversity of extinct taxa, documents several instances of gigantism, and indicates a complex palaeobiogeographical history for the clade. Here, we report new pelomedusoid turtle fossils from the late Palaeocene Cerrejon Formation of Colombia. The most complete of these is represented by a large skull (condylobasal length = 16 cm) and is described as Carbonemys cofrinii gen. et sp. nov. (Podocnemidae). Carbonemys is incorporated into a parsimony analysis utilizing a modified morphological character matrix designed to test relationships within Panpelomedusoides, with the addition of molecular data from seven genes (12S RNA, cytochrome b, ND4, NT3, R35, RAG-1 and RAG-2) drawn from previous studies of extant Podocnemidae. C. cofrinii is recovered within Podocnemidae in the results of both morphology-only and combined morphological and molecular (total evidence) analyses. However, molecular data strongly impact the inferred relationships of C. cofrinii and several other fossil taxa by altering the relative positions of the extant taxa Peltocephalus and Erymnochelys. This resulted in C. cofrinii being recovered within the crown clade Podocnemidae in the morphology-only analysis, but outside of Podocnemidae in the combined analysis. Two Panpodocnemid turtle taxa of uncertain affinities are represented by new diagnostic shell material from the Cerrejon Formation, though we refrain from naming them pending discovery of associated cranial material. One of these shells potentially belongs to C. cofrinii and represents the second largest pleurodiran turtle yet discovered. Analysis of pelomedusoid body size evolution suggests that climatic variation is not the primary driver of major body size changes. Cerrejon turtles also demonstrate that at least two major subclades of Podocnemidae were already in place in the neotropics by the Early Cenozoic.

AB A coastal ecological model based on coastal zone width is presented to explain human interest in the coastal plain during the Clovis-era circa 13,200 to 12,800 years ago. Isobathic depths on the continental shelf along with relative sea-level data are used to approximate the Clovis-age coastal zone widths for the Delmarva Peninsula and coastal North Carolina. Coastal plain areas with former broad coastal zones during the Clovis-era have revealed large numbers of Clovis diagnostics within the extant terrestrial settings. In contrast, regions with narrow coastal zones during the Clovis-era imply limited use of the coastal plain. Modern analogues to these types of settings denote disproportionate coastal and marine resource productivity, which may explain the disparity of Clovis sites along the extant Atlantic coastal plain areas of the eastern United States.

AB The palynology of the Eocene Esmeraldas Formation in the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin, Colombia was analyzed in order to constrain the age of the unit. This formation is a very important oil reservoir in the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin, which is a product of the fragmentation of a Cenozoic foreland basin by the uplift of the Northern Andes. The lateral continuity of the formation, as well as its correlations with lithostratigraphic units in adjacent basins is not clearly understood. The Los Corros Fossil Horizon, a molluscan horizon in the upper part of the Esmeraldas Formation, has been used to trace the top of the formation. This horizon is not laterally continuous over the basin and its age is still debatable. Data from 82 samples from an outcrop section in the Nuevo Mundo Syncline area and from seven previously studied wells have been integrated with a palynological zonation of northern South America in order to date the Esmeraldas Formation. The age ranges from the late Early Eocene to the Late Eocene. The Esmeraldas Formation is correlative with the upper Picacho Formation and the lower part of the Concentracion Formation in the Eastern Cordillera, and the upper Mirador Formation and the base of the Carbonera Formation in the Llanos Foothills. The Los Corros Fossil Horizon is Late Eocene and is time-correlative with a marine transgression in the central Llanos Foothills. A non-metric multidimensional scaling analysis suggests that floras from the Middle Magdalena Valley were different from those in the Llanos Foothills area during the Middle to Late Eocene. This is apparently due to taphonomic effects. The results of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the overall evolution of the Middle Magdalena Valley Basin.

AB This paper presents a sequence-stratigraphic interpretation from the palynological analysis and lithologic data of two outcrop sections on the NE flank of the Upper Magdalena Valley (UMV) basin primarily comprising the Santonian-Lower Maastrichtian interval. Important stratal horizons are identified in the northeastern part of the UMV basin and ages assigned to them. A cyclic pattern of palynomorph distribution was recognized in both sections and tied to the different stages of the stratigraphic chart. Spikes in abundance of spores accompanied by pollen characterize the lowstand systems tracts and are replaced by the occurrence of euryhaline dinoflagellate cysts (ceratioids and/or gymnodinioids) during the subsequent transgressive phase. Maximum flooding surfaces (MFS) are recognized by a sudden increase in open marine palynomorphs (peridinioids and/or gonyaulacoids) and the scarcity of terrestrial representatives. As sea level starts to fall, the gradual decrease in open marine dinoflagellates along with the occurrence of euryhaline dinoflagellate cysts and terrestrial representatives corresponds to highstand systems tracts. The sequence-stratigraphic interpretation from palynological analysis was correlated to the global sea-level curve allowing the identification of the Santonian-Campanian and Campanian-Maastrichtian boundaries. System tracts from supercycles ZC-3, ZC-4 and TA-1 were recognized from the palynological data.

ID NUCLEAR RIBOSOMAL DNA; BETULACEAE; VEGETATION; SEQUENCES; ALASKA
AB The three subgenera of alder (Alnus, Clethropsis and Alnobetula) are taxonomically distinctive, but how does their pollen match up with their gross morphology? This study links pollen characters with the taxonomic divisions of the genus alder based on nrDNA ITS sequence data. The value of the study is in the breadth of the taxonomic coverage of the three subgenera, as the samples per species only range from 1 to 6. From 29 Alnus species, the authors studied pollen from 59 modern reference collections (prepared by acetolysis) and recorded the number and type of apertures (pores), thickness of the arci, pollen size and polar arci. Tallies of the number of pores on the pollen grains in a reference collection typically have a range of +/- 1 or 2. Exceptions are presumed hybrid collections in Alnus rugosa with a range of +/- 5, which have malformed pollen cells suggesting infertility. The presumed hybrids show a greater range of both pore number and size of pollen grains. The dominant pore number is a key feature that separates the subgenus Alnobetula (=Alnaster) from the other two subgenera by consistently having predominantly 5-, 6-or 7-pored pollen grains, while all other Alnus taxa sampled have pollen with predominantly 4-or 5-pored pollen. The dominant pore number is a consistent feature within the subgenus Alnobetula (10 species), but is inconsistent in 3 out of 16 species of the subgenus Alnus and within the subgenus Clethropsis (3 species). Thickenings of the pore lip, aspidate (protruding) and vestibulate pores are important features of Alnus pollen on a species level. Alnus-like pollen morphology occurs occasionally in certain other betulaceous genera (Betula and Carpinus). Differences in character or thickness of arci (band-like thickenings on the pollen wall between pores) tend to be somewhat consistent within a species and vary within subgenera. Two Alnobetula species in the Alnus viridis complex (Alnus crispa and Alnus sinuata) have arci that are weakly developed or appear as simple folds; walls are fragile and pores are typically less aspidate. Pollen sizes in different species overlap greatly, may be partly influenced by processing methods and do not seem to be generally helpful in characterizing species. Circular doughnut-shaped arci thickenings on the polar area of pollen grains are a common feature (16-40%) in two closely related East Asian taxa of subgenus Alnobetula with large pollen ('Clade A': Alnus firma and Alnus sieboldii). These 'Clade A' features have been reported from Miocene collections of Alnus pollen from Alaska, and support megafossil evidence in determining the biogeography of this group along the Pacific Rim in the Neogene. The Miocene appearance of subgenus Alnobetula megafossils in both Alaska and Japan can only have occurred via a Bering Land Bridge. This relation is now confirmed by Reinink-Smith's Miocene 'Clade-A-type' pollen data of Alaska. These taxa had Pacific Rim distributions, similar fruiting carposamaras and now correspond to a DNA ITS subgroup within Alnobetula. Depending on the geographic location with limited number of local alder species, certain Holocene identifications are possible based on pore structure and arci thickness, e. g. the Alnus crispa-type in eastern Canada and the Alnus sinuata-type in the Pacific northwest.

AB Vojtechirogas novotnyi gen. nov. & sp. nov., V. heberti sp. nov. and V. wantok sp. nov. reared from Philiris helena (Snellen) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) feeding on Macaranga spp., in northern lowland Papua New Guinea, are described and illustrated. Based on molecular data, on the modified vein 2-SC+R of the hind wing and the inclivous vein r-m of the forewing, Vojtechirogas gen. nov. appears most closely related to the monotypic genus Trigonophatnus Cameron, 1907, also from Papua New Guinea. These two genera differ from one another markedly in many characters usually considered important in Rogadinae systematics such as the presence/absence of a subbasal lobe of the claws, of the mediolongitudinal carina of the metanotum and of the basal triangular area of the second metasomal tergite. Trigonophatnus is redescribed and illustrated and is reported as a parasitoid of Hypochrysops chrysargyrus (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) based upon molecular analysis of host remains. Additional specimens of Vojtechirogas gen. nov. are reported but not assigned to species because of lack of molecular data in this morphologically uniform genus.

AB tau Bootis is a late F-type main sequence star orbited by a Hot Jupiter. During the last years spectropolarimetric observations led to the hypothesis that this star may host a global magnetic field that switches its polarity once per year, indicating a very short activity cycle of only one year duration. In our ongoing observational campaign, we have collected several X-ray observations with XMM-Newton and optical spectra with TRES/FLWO in Arizona to characterize tau Boo's corona and chromosphere over the course of the supposed one-year cycle. Contrary to the spectropolarimetric reconstructions, our observations do not show indications for a short activity cycle. (C) 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH&Co. KGaA, Weinheim

Courtship display
ID FIDDLER-CRABS; EVOLUTION; BEHAVIOR
AB Mating in the dotillid crab Ilyoplax pusilla occurs after the female enters the male's burrow in the tidal flat. Males use two tactics to cause females to enter their burrows for mating: the male either directs claw waving to the female (courting-wave display), to which the females responds by following the male to his burrow, or the male runs rapidly away from, then back toward, his burrow (dash-out-back display), which startles the female into his burrow. Males more often used the courting-wave than the dash-out-back display, but mating success did not differ between the two tactics. Male use of either tactic was influenced by date, female density and male size; the courting-wave display was used by larger males, later in the breeding period, and under higher female density.

AB NGC 1365 showcases a plethora of X-ray phenomena, including a relativistically broadened Fe K alpha line, a warm absorber, thermal starburst emission, and eclipses of the inner accretion disk by cold gas within the nucleus. We present data from two long 2010 observations of NGC 1365 separated by two weeks. We are able to deconvolve the signatures of distant vs. inner disk reflection, finding that the distant reflection is relatively constant whereas the inner disk reflection varies during and between observations. We also discuss the variable nature of the absorption. Finally, we detail the theoretical implications of observing a full, Compton-thick eclipse of the inner disk in NGC 1365.

AB Galaxy formation is significantly modulated by energy output from supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies which grow in highly efficient luminous quasar phases. 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 Suzaku and XMM-Newton X-ray observations of the nearby galaxy IC 2497, which hosted a luminous quasar no more than similar to 230,000 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 2 and more likely by over 4 orders of magnitude. This extremely rapid shutdown provides new insights into the physics of accretion in supermassive black holes, and may signal a transition of the accretion disk to a radiatively inefficient state. These results were first presented by [1].

AB Vela Xis a large, 3 degrees x 2 degrees, radio-emitting pulsar wind nebula (PWN) powered by the Vela pulsar in the Vela supernova remnant Using Suzaku/XIS observations, we find hard X-ray emission extending outside the Vela X region. The spectral and spatial properties of the hard X-ray emission suggest that it is associated with the Vela PWN. The larger X-ray extension found in this work strongly suggests that distinct populations relativistic electrons form the X-ray PWN and Vela X. We also notice diffuse hard X-ray emission in the other direction. More Suzaku/XIS observations are strongly desired to reveal the entire morphology of the Vela PWN.

DE galaxies: active; galaxies: individual: NGC 4945
AB We present a complete X-ray spectral analysis of the obscured AGN in NGC 4945, based on a Suzaku campaign spanning a period of seven months. NGC 4945 is the archetypal Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy, with a reflection-dominated spectrum below 10 keV, and the intrinsic emission visible only at higher energies. Taking advantage of the unique Suzaku-HXD capabilities we detect for the first time absorption variations larger than 10(24) cm(-2) on time scales of a few weeks, suggesting that the obscuring material consists of gas clouds at parsec-scale distance. This result proves the fundamental importance of a time-resolved broadband X-ray study of AGNs.

AB We present an X-ray analysis of luminous obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) inside local ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), based on Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku observations. Most AGN in our sample are unidentified in the optical, and even in the hard X-rays only reflection signatures (if any) are detected. This implies that the circumnuclear environs in these composite ULIRGs are much richer in gas/dust than in ordinary active galaxies, as confirmed by the conclusive detection of the Compton-thick core of IRAS 12071-0444 thanks to Suzaku/PIN.

ID DISCOVERY; SUZAKU
AB We present the Suzaku results of a supernova remnant (SNR), G 359.1-0.5 in the direction of the Galactic center region. From the SNR, we find prominent K-shell lines of highly ionized Si and S ions, together with unusual structures at 2.5-3.0 and 3.1-3.6 keV. No canonical SNR plasma model, in either ionization equilibrium or under-ionization, can explain the structures. The energies and shapes of the structures are similar to those of the radiative transitions of free electrons to the K-shell of He-like Si and S ions (radiative recombination continuum: RRC). The presence of the strong RRC structures indicates that the plasma is in over-ionization. In fact, the observed spectrum is well fitted with an over-ionized plasma model. The best-fit electron temperature of 0.29 keV is far smaller than the ionization temperature of 0.77 keV, which means that G359.1-0.5 is in extreme condition of over-ionization. In such a highly over-ionized plasma, continuum X-rays are dominated by the RRC from heavy elements rather than the bremsstrahlung. We therefore cannot properly estimate the metal abundances relative to H. We also comment on possible origins for the over-ionized plasma.

AB In addition to providing vital clues as to the formation and evolution of black holes, the spin of black holes may be an important energy source in the Universe. Over the past couple of years, tremendous progress has been made in the realm of observational measurements of spin. In particular, detailed characterization and modeling of X-ray spectral features emitted from the inner regions of black hole accretion disks have allowed us to probe the location of the innermost stable circular orbit and hence the spin. In this contribution, I will describe the Suzaku AGN Spin Survey, an on-going Cycle 4-6 Suzaku Key Project that aims to probe five nearby AGN with sufficient depth that strong gravity effects and spin can be robustly assessed. Of the three objects for which we currently have our deep datasets, we can constrain spin in two (NGC 3783, a > 0.9; Fairall 9, a = 0.45 +/- 0.15) whereas complexities with the warm absorber prevent us from reporting results for NGC 3516. We conclude with a brief discussion of spin-dependent selection biases in flux-limited surveys.

AB We report the early results of the Suzaku spectroscopic survey of recombining plasmas (RPs) in the supernova remnants (SNRs) W44 and W28. The X-ray spectra of both the SNRs exhibit the strong recombination edges of Si and S, which are typical characteristics of a RP. In both the SNRs, the ionization temperatures are found to be similar to 1.5-2 times higher than the electron temperatures. All of the five SNRs where the RPs had so far been detected are interacting with the molecular clouds (MCs) and are associated with the GeV/TeV gamma-ray sources. To investigate possible correlation of the RP with the MCs and the gamma-ray sources, we performed spatially resolved spectroscopy on W28.

AB Classical novae are cataclysmic explosions by a thermonuclear runaway on the white dwarf surface. The sudden increase in the radiation pressure leads to the ejection of material, thus they provide a large rise at extremely wide wavelengths from radio to X-rays with different time scales. We conducted X-ray spectroscopic studies of recent five classical novae (Suzaku J0105-72, V458 Vulpeculae, V2491 Cygni, V2672 Ophiuchi, and U Scorpii 2010)using the Suzaku satellite. Various aspects of X-ray emission have been studied, including their typical behavior and the diagnostics that they bring. In this article, we briefly introduce the most recent result on the knowledge of the accretion process using the data of V2491 Cygni.

EVOLUTION
AB We present a review of recent studies on recombining (overionized) plasmas in supernova remnants (SNRs) with Suzaku and other satellites. During a SNR's evolution, the ambient matter and expanding ejecta are compressed and heated by the forward and reverse shocks to form an X-ray emitting plasma. Since ionization of heavy elements proceeds slowly compared to shock heating, SNRs are normally observed to have ionizing (underionized) plasmas. Therefore, the discovery of strong X-ray emission formed by recombination is dramatically changing our understanding of the dynamics and evolution of SNRs. Interestingly, all the SNRs that have overionized plasmas are categorized as a mixed-morphology class, suggesting the origin of this phenomenon is somehow connected to massive progenitors exploding in a dense environment.

AB Despite implausible cosmopolitanism, the species Scorpiodinipora costulata (Canu & Bassler, 1929) has been attributed with reservations to small encrusting colonies with similar morphological features whose known distribution is scattered in tropical and subtropical seas: Pacific Ocean (Philippines), Indian Ocean (Oman), Red Sea, SE Mediterranean, SE Atlantic (Ghana) and SW Atlantic (Brazil). This material raised questions about its generic assignment. The genus Scorpiodinipora Balavoine, 1959 is redescribed with Schizoporella costulata Canu & Bassler, 1929, from the Philippines as the type species, as Balavoine misidentified the specimens to define the genus as Cellepora bernardii Audouin, 1826. Moreover, SEM examination of the cotypes of S. costulata showed that Canu & Bassler confused two genera among them. A lectotype and paralectorype were thus chosen from Canu & Bassler's syntypes corresponding with the present morphotype. Hippodiplosia ottomuelleriana var. parva Marcus, 1938, from Brazil, which presents the same morphotype, is provisionally considered as the junior synonym of S. costulata. Considering the broad allopatric distribution of this morphotype across the oceans and the low capacity of dispersal of species with short-lived larvae, it is likely that this material includes several sibling species. However, the role of man-mediated dispersal is not excluded, at least in regions with high shipping activity, such as that comprising the Suez Canal.

AB The identity and placement of Amphiclada fervescens Meyrick, 1912 is reassessed. We conclude that its transfer from the Heliodinidae to Blastobasidae is unfounded. However, we maintain provisionally its placement in the Gelechioidea, an entity within incertae sedis, as neither facies nor genitalia provide convincing evidence of a familial status within the superfamily. A redescription of A. fervescens is included, as are images of its holotype and associated female genitalia, to help substantiate our decision on placement.

AB A new genus and species, Nanocthulhu lovecrafti Buffington, is described. This genus is characterized by having a three-pronged structure, referred to as a fuscina, along the dorsal margin of the clypeus; this character is unique in the Hymenoptera. The genus is also characterized by the possession of a corniculum, and the shared possession of this trait with Stentorceps Quinlan suggests these two genera are sister-taxa. A phylogenetic analysis presented here, based on morphology, recovered Stentorceps + Nanocthulhu as the sister-group to Trichoplasta Benoit and Rhoptromeris Forster; based on these data, Nanocthulhu is hereby classified in the Trichoplastini. In addition to morphological features, wing interference patterns are described for this new taxon. Though the biology of this unusual wasp is unknown, the head morphology suggests digging is involved at some point in its life history. The possession of a fuscina in both sexes suggests that this structure is involved with emergence, rather than host finding by the female. Errata are provided correcting the holotype information of Stentorceps weedlei Nielsen and Buffington.

AB Explanations for the extinction of Late Quaternary megafauna are heavily debated, ranging from human overkill to climate change, disease and extraterrestrial impacts. Synthesis and analysis of Late Quaternary animal extinctions on California's Channel Islands suggest that, despite supporting Native American populations for some 13,000 years, few mammal, bird or other species are known to have gone extinct during the prehistoric human era, and most of these coexisted with humans for several millennia. Our analysis provides insight into the nature and variability of Quaternary extinctions on islands and a broader context for understanding ancient extinctions in North America.

AB The cause of the terminal Pleistocene extinctions in North America is debated but is most commonly ascribed to climate change or anthropogenic overkill. Based on contemporary extinction theory from conservation biology, we predict that in a climatically induced extinction event, species with small geographic ranges are most likely to suffer extinction. We use two methods to reconstruct Pleistocene range sizes for 194 taxa using data from the FAUNMAP database to conduct analyses in ArcGIS. Furthermore, because this extinction event was size selective, we reconstruct range shifts between the Pleistocene and Holocene for 157 species to assess whether climate change preferentially impacted extant large-bodied species. We find that the extinction event did not preferentially impact taxa with small geographic ranges, and that displacement distances were no different for large-and small-bodied species. These results are not consistent with an extinction induced by climate change but may be concordant with anthropogenic causes.

AB Male secondary sexual characters in Lepidoptera may be present or absent in species that otherwise appear to be closely related, an observation that has led to differences of opinion over the taxonomic usefulness of these structures above the species level. An evolutionary issue raised by this debate is whether male secondary sexual characters (1) can be regained after being lost evolutionarily, (2) are not lost after being evolved, or (3) are 'switched on and off' by genes that regulate development. A second evolutionary issue is the conditions under which male secondary sexual characters might be lost or gained evolutionarily. Because these structures are thought to promote species recognition, theory predicts evolutionary losses to be most likely in allopatry; evolutionary gains to be most likely during the process of secondarily establishing sympatry or during sympatric speciation. We updated the species-level taxonomy of the brilliant emerald winged Neotropical lycaenid butterfly genus Arcas and performed an analysis of phylogenetic relations among species to assess these evolutionary issues. We morphologically detail a scent pouch on the ventral hindwing of Areas and report that six species possess the pouch with androconia, one possesses the pouch without androconia, and the remaining two species have neither pouch nor androconia. In addition, eight Areas species have a morphologically species-specific male forewing scent pad, and one lacks a scent pad. This variation appears to be the result of three evolutionary losses and no gains of male secondary sexual organs. The four Areas species lacking a scent pouch or a scent pad are allopatric with their closest phylogenetic relatives while four of five with both of these structures are sympatric. Although Arcas is a small genus, these results are significantly more extreme than predicted by chance. For taxonomy, this study provides a rationale for the evolutionary loss of male secondary sexual structures and suggests that their absence, but itself, does not indicate a lack of relationship above the species level.

AB Abelisaurid theropods are common members of Cretaceous Gondwanan faunas and are characterized by a bizarre, highly reduced forelimb. Unfortunately, forelimb elements are rarely preserved and thus the basic structure of the abelisaurid forelimb remains poorly understood. Until recently, the Upper Cretaceous Maevarano Formation of northwestern Madagascar has produced numerous exceptional specimens of the abelisaurid theropod Majungasaurus crenatissimus but comparatively little forelimb material. A recently discovered articulated skeleton of Majungasaurus preserves a virtually complete pectoral girdle and forelimb, which, along with additional isolated forelimb elements, affords important new insights into the structure of these elements. New specimens of the scapulocoracoid and humerus allow more detailed description of their morphology, and antebrachial and manual elements are described for the first time. The radius and ulna are approximately one-quarter the length of the humerus and both have expanded proximal and distal articular surfaces relative to their narrow diaphyses. The manus consists of four digits, each composed of a short metacarpal and one (digits I and IV) or two (digits II and III) phalanges. No ossified carpals are present. The proportions of the brachium and antebrachium are stout, more similar to the condition in Carnotaurus than in Aucasaurus. We reinterpret manual digit identities in Aucasaurus and Carnotaurus based on new information provided by the manus of Majungasaurus. Overall, the morphology of the forelimb in Majungasaurus reveals that abelisaurids share an extremely reduced, unique morphology that is dissimilar to the more typical theropod condition seen in other ceratosaurs.

TI TWO OLD WORLD VULTURES FROM THE MIDDLE PLEISTOCENE OF NORTHEASTERN CHINA
AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR INTERSPECIFIC COMPETITION AND BIOGEOGRAPHY OF
AEGYPIINAE
SO JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID BODY-SIZE; GUILD; AVES
AB Two new fossil crania of Old World vultures (Accipitridae, Aegypiinae), from the middle Pleistocene Jinniushan site of Liaoning Province, northeastern China, were studied. A new species of Aegypius, A. jinniushanensis, is erected and characterized by possessing a less developed processus zygomaticus and processus suprameaticus, as well as a relatively larger condylus occipitalis, compared with A. monachus. Another specimen, assigned to Torgos, is the first record of this genus from outside Africa. The presence of two large vultures, apparently in the same feeding group, in the Jinniushan faunal assemblage suggests that there were more opportunities for interspecific competition among scavengers in the middle Pleistocene of northeastern China than at present. By analogy with phylogenetically related modern vultures, we suggest that niche differentiation between the two extinct species may have reduced the degree of competition between them. The disappearance of the genus Torgos from northeast China might be the result of the Pleistocene extinction of a suite of large mammalian herbivores, and the loss of grassland and savannah from this region.

AB The White River Formation at Flagstaff Rim in central Wyoming is a key sequence for understanding the biochronology and chronostratigraphy of the Chadronian North American Land Mammal Age. The lower part of this section represents early Chadronian time, an interval whose fauna has not been well known. From these early Chadronian levels 15 species of rodents are discussed and/or described. Of these, three are new species, all belonging to the Eomyidae: Namatomys erythrus, Metanoiamys paradoxus, Cristadjidaumo skinneri. These rodent assemblages add substantially to our knowledge of early Chadronian faunas, and show successional changes in the rodent taxa from the earliest Chadronian through middle Chadronian.

AB Early Miocene floridatraguline camels are characterized by having an elongate snout, shallow and narrow symphysial area, and relatively primitive dentitions. Their fossil record is restricted to subtropical assemblages including the Hemingfordian Thomas Farm Local Fauna (L.F.) in Florida, the Zoyotal L.F. in Mexico, and the Arikareean Castolon L.F. in Texas. Here we describe the first floridatraguline camels from the early Miocene Las Cascadas Formation, Panama Canal area, Central America. We describe two new species that are similar to Aguascalientia wilsoni from the Zoyotal L.F. in having (1) a primitive lower dental formula, (2) brachydont teeth, (3) an unusually elongate jaw with caniniform c1 and p1 that are well separated by a diastema, (4) a long and narrow mandibular symphysis, (5) lower molars with small intercolumnar pillars, (6) an m3 hypoconulid divided by lingual and labial selenes, and (7) no diastema between p2 and p3. Aguascalientia panamaensis, sp. nov., and Aguascalientia minuta, sp. nov., are represented by partial lower dentitions and isolated upper molars. Both new species are distinct from A. wilsoni in having (1) p1 and c1 similar in size, (2) less inflected paraconids on lower premolars, and (3) less reduced premolars. Interpreted primitive characters are similar to a small, unnamed camel from the earliest Miocene Buda L. F. of Florida (middle late Arikareean NALMA). The Las Cascadas fossil assemblage probably constitutes a distinctive Arikareean (Ar3-Ar4) faunal province characterized by the arrival of northern immigrants into a small continental basin connected with North American continental terrains.

LA English

ID DELPHINAPTERUS-LEUCAS; SEA; DEPOSITS
AB Here we describe Bohaskaia monodontoides, a new taxon of beluga-like odontocete cetacean from the early Pliocene Yorktown Formation of Virginia and North Carolina. Among odontocetes, Bohaskaia shares key characteristics of the rostrum and face with belugas (Delphinapterus leucas), narwhals (Monodon monoceros), and Denebola brachycephala from the late Miocene of Baja California, thus placing it as a member of the Monodontidae. It also displays autapomorphies that merit its placement in a new genus and species. Both Denebola and Bohaskaia occurred in warmer latitudes than those of extant monodontids, even accounting for extralimital records. Such data from the fossil record of Monodontidae indicates that putative cold climate adaptations of living monodontids might have appeared under different environmental conditions and that their Holarctic and sub-Arctic distribution is a relatively recent phenomenon.

AB Using data collected from a nationally-representative sample of first-year college students, we examine how students' identity development as physics persons and their likelihood to pursue a career in physical science is predicted by differing immigrant experiences. We consider broad factors having a social, economic, or cultural nature as covariates in a propensity score model that assesses differences due to immigrant generation. Our results show that, when controlling for such factors as race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, and gender, students' physics identities and the likelihood of choosing a career in physical science are significantly higher amongst first generation students than second generation (or later) students. We conclude that physical science as a career option can be influenced by the experiences of being an immigrant and through the relationship between origin and host culture.

AB A positive relationship between traditional cultures and biodiversity exists worldwide, but when traditional and formal conservation institutions coexist, how they interact and affect biodiversity remains poorly studied. From 2005 to 2007, we studied the relationship between Tibetan traditional practices and biodiversity. Specifically, how traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) and scientific ecological knowledge (SEK) affect local biodiversity by affecting people's attitudes and behaviors towards conservation. We interviewed 331 villagers in nine Tibetan villages in Sichuan Province, China. We used proxy questions to measure the traditional practices, TEK, SEK, conservation attitudes and behaviors of village residents. Meanwhile, we assessed the bird diversity around the villages by stratified sampling and point counts. The results indicate traditional practices exhibited a strong positive correlation with TEK, but a negative correlation with formal education and SEK. The villagers with high traditional practices had more positive attitudes towards conservation and more actively participated in conservation than villagers with low traditional practices, and villagers with medium traditional practices were the least concerned about, or participated in, conservation activities. Bird species richness, abundance, and the Shannon-Wiener diversity index were positively correlated with the traditional practice index of each village. The results of a negative binomial regression showed the traditional practice index was a positive correlative factor of bird species richness, while formal education was not a significant variable, after controlling for other potential sampling and environment factors. Government-sponsored conservation education was somewhat successful in raising people's environmental awareness, but these efforts have yet to correlate with enhanced biodiversity measures.

AB In nearly all animals, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) consists of a single circular molecule that encodes several subunits of the protein complexes involved in oxidative phosphorylation as well as part of the machinery for their expression. By contrast, mtDNA in species belonging to Medusozoa (one of the two major lineages in the phylum Cnidaria) comprises one to several linear molecules. Many questions remain on the ubiquity of linear mtDNA in medusozoans and the mechanisms responsible for its evolution, replication, and transcription. To address some of these questions, we determined the sequences of nearly complete linear mtDNA from 24 species representing all four medusozoan classes: Cubozoa, Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, and Staurozoa. All newly determined medusozoan mitochondrial genomes harbor the 17 genes typical for cnidarians and map as linear molecules with a high degree of gene order conservation relative to the anthozoans. In addition, two open reading frames (ORFs), polB and ORF314, are identified in cubozoan, schyphozoan, staurozoan, and trachyline hydrozoan mtDNA. polB belongs to the B-type DNA polymerase gene family, while the product of ORF314 may act as a terminal protein that binds telomeres. We posit that these two ORFs are remnants of a linear plasmid that invaded the mitochondrial genomes of the last common ancestor of Medusozoa and are responsible for its linearity. Hydroidolinan hydrozoans have lost the two ORFs and instead have duplicated cox1 at each end of their mitochondrial chromosome(s). Fragmentation of mtDNA occurred independently in Cubozoa and Hydridae (Hydrozoa, Hydroidolina). Our broad sampling allows us to reconstruct the evolutionary history of linear mtDNA in medusozoans.

AB Animal mitochondrial DNAs (mtDNAs) are typically single circular chromosomes, with the exception of those from medusozoan cnidarians (jellyfish and hydroids), which are linear and sometimes fragmented. Most medusozoans have linear monomeric or linear bipartite mitochondrial genomes, but preliminary data have suggested that box jellyfish (cubozoans) have mtDNAs that consist of many linear chromosomes. Here, we present the complete mtDNA sequence from the winged box jellyfish Alatina moseri (the first from a cubozoan). This genome contains unprecedented levels of fragmentation: 18 unique genes distributed over eight 2.9- to 4.6-kb linear chromosomes. The telomeres are identical within and between chromosomes, and recombination between subtelomeric sequences has led to many genes initiating or terminating with sequences from other genes (the most extreme case being 150 nt of a ribosomal RNA containing the 5' end of nad2), providing evidence for a gene conversion-based model of telomere evolution. The silent-site nucleotide variation within the A. moseri mtDNA is among the highest observed from a eukaryotic genome and may be associated with elevated rates of recombination.

AB In marine ecosystems, rising atmospheric CO2 and climate change are associated with concurrent shifts in temperature, circulation, stratification, nutrient input, oxygen content, and ocean acidification, with potentially wide-ranging biological effects. Population-level shifts are occurring because of physiological intolerance to new environments, altered dispersal patterns, and changes in species interactions. Together with local climate-driven invasion and extinction, these processes result in altered community structure and diversity, including possible emergence of novel ecosystems. Impacts are particularly striking for the poles and the tropics, because of the sensitivity of polar ecosystems to sea-ice retreat and poleward species migrations as well as the sensitivity of coral-algal symbiosis to minor increases in temperature. Midlatitude upwelling systems, like the California Current, exhibit strong linkages between climate and species distributions, phenology, and demography. Aggregated effects may modify energy and material flows as well as biogeochemical cycles, eventually impacting the overall ecosystem functioning and services upon which people and societies depend.

AB Aims. We aim to study the physical conditions, particularly the excitation state, of the intermediate-temperature gas in protoplanetary nebulae and young planetary nebulae (PPNe, PNe). The information that the observations of the different components deliver is of particular importance for understanding the evolution of these objects.
Methods. We performed Herschel/HIFI observations of intermediate-excitation molecular lines in the far-infrared/submillimeter range in a sample of ten nebulae. The high spectral resolution provided by HIFI allows the accurate measurement of the line profiles. The dynamics and evolution of these nebulae are known to result from the presence of several gas components, notably fast bipolar outflows and slow shells (that often are the fossil AGB shells), and the interaction between them. Because of the diverse kinematic properties of the different components, their emissions can be identified in the line profiles. The observation of these high-energy transitions allows an accurate study of the excitation conditions, particularly in the warm gas, which cannot be properly studied from the low-energy lines.
Results. We have detected FIR/sub-mm lines of several molecules, in particular of (CO)-C-12, (CO)-C-13, and H2O. Emission from other species, like NH3, OH, (H2O)-O-18, HCN, SiO, etc., has been also detected. Wide profiles showing sometimes spectacular line wings have been found. We have mainly studied the excitation properties of the high-velocity emission, which is known to come from fast bipolar outflows. From comparison with general theoretical predictions, we find that CRL 618 shows a particularly warm fast wind, with characteristic kinetic temperature T-k greater than or similar to 200 K. In contrast, the fast winds in OH 231.8+4.2 and NGC 6302 are cold, T-k similar to 30 K. Other nebulae, like CRL 2688, show intermediate temperatures, with characteristic values around 100 K. We also discuss how the complex structure of the nebulae can affect our estimates, considering two-component models. We argue that the differences in temperature in the different nebulae can be caused by cooling after the gas acceleration (that is probably caused by shocks); for instance, CRL 618 is a case of very recent acceleration, less than similar to 100 yr ago, while the fast gas in OH 231.8+4.2 was accelerated similar to 1000 yr ago. We also find indications that the densest gas tends to be cooler, which may be explained by the expected increase of the radiative cooling efficiency with the density.

AB Aims. We analyse data from a 58 month long, continuous Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) series of observations of the five brightest Seyfert galaxies at hard X-rays, to study their flux and spectral variability in the 20-100 keV energy band. The column density in these objects is less than 10(24) cm(-2), which implies that the Swift/BAT data allow us to study the "true" variability of the central source.
Methods. We used 2-day binned light curves in the (20-50) and (50-100) keV bands to estimate their fractional variability amplitude, and the same band 20-day binned light curves to compute hardness ratios and construct "colour-flux" diagrams. We also considered a thermal Comptonization model, together with a reflection component with constant flux, and produced model "colour-flux" diagrams, assuming realistic variations in the model parameter values, which we then compared with the observed diagrams.
Results. All objects show significant variations, with an amplitude that is similar to the AGN variability amplitude at energies below 10 keV. We found evidence of an anti-correlation between variability amplitude and black hole mass. The light curves in both bands are well-correlated with each other, with no significant delays on time scales as short as two days. We find that both NGC 4151 and NGC 2110 display no spectral variability, but that there is a significant anti-correlation between hardness ratios and source flux in NGC 4388 (and NGC 4945, IC 4329, to a lesser extent). This "softer when brighter" behaviour is similar to that observed at energies below 10 keV, and cannot be explained if the continuum varies only in flux; the intrinsic shape should also steepen with increasing flux.
Conclusions. The detection of significant flux variations indicate that the central source in these objects is intrinsically variable on time scales as short as similar to 1-2 days. The intrinsic slope of the continuum varies with the flux (at least in NGC 4388). The positive "spectral slope-flux" correlation can be explained if the temperature of the hot corona decreases with increasing flux. The lack of spectral variations in two objects (NGC 4151 and NGC 2110) might indicate that they are in a different "state", as their accretion rate is less than 1% of the Eddington limit (significantly lower than the rate of the other three objects in the sample).

AB We present 5-38 mu m spectroscopic observations of a sample of 68 ISOGAL sources with unknown natures, taken with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. Based on the characteristics and the slope of their spectra, we classified the sources as young or late-type evolved objects. These sources were selected to test selection criteria based on the ISOGAL [7]-[15] color and the spatial extent parameter sigma(15). We revised these criteria until they reliably distinguished between young and late-type evolved objects and then applied them to all ISOGAL sources in the central molecular zone (CMZ), resulting in the selection of 485 sources believed to be young. Furthermore, we added 656 Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) sources to the CMZ sample that fulfilled F-E/F-D > 2 with F-D and F-E being the flux densities in the D (15 mu m) and E (21 mu m) bands. After obtaining L-bol/F-15 conversion factors, we calculated the bolometric luminosity, L-bol, values for the CMZ sample and subsequently the masses of the sources. Applying a Kroupa initial mass function, we derived the total mass in young objects that have been formed over the last 1 Myr, resulting in an average star formation rate of 0.08 solar masses per year for the CMZ.

AB Modelling the formation of super-km-sized planetesimals by gravitational collapse of regions overdense in small particles requires numerical algorithms capable of handling simultaneously hydrodynamics, particle dynamics and particle collisions. While the initial phases of radial contraction are dictated by drag forces and gravity, particle collisions become gradually more significant as filaments contract beyond Roche density. Here we present a new numerical algorithm for treating momentum and energy exchange in collisions between numerical superparticles representing a high number of physical particles. We adopt a Monte Carlo approach where superparticle pairs in a grid cell collide statistically on the physical collision time-scale. Collisions occur by enlarging particles until they touch and solving for the collision outcome, accounting for energy dissipation in inelastic collisions. We demonstrate that superparticle collisions can be consistently implemented at a modest computational cost. In protoplanetary disc turbulence driven by the streaming instability, we argue that the relative Keplerian shear velocity should be subtracted during the collision calculation. If it is not subtracted, density inhomogeneities are too rapidly diffused away, as bloated particles exaggerate collision speeds. Local particle densities reach several thousand times the mid-plane gas density. We find efficient formation of gravitationally bound clumps, with a range of masses corresponding to contracted radii from 100 to 400 km when applied to the asteroid belt and 150 to 730 km when applied to the Kuiper belt, extrapolated using a constant self-gravity parameter. The smaller planetesimals are not observed at low resolution, but the masses of the largest planetesimals are relatively independent of resolution and treatment of collisions.

AB Aims. Spectra, taken with the heterodyne instrument, HIFI, aboard the Herschel Space Observatory, of O-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars which form part of the guaranteed time key program HIFISTARS are presented. The aim of this program is to study the dynamical structure, mass-loss driving mechanism, and chemistry of the outflows from AGB stars as a function of chemical composition and initial mass.
Methods. We used the HIFI instrument to observe nine AGB stars, mainly in the H2O and high rotational CO lines. We investigate the correlation between line luminosity, line ratio and mass-loss rate, line width and excitation energy.
Results. A total of nine different molecules, along with some of their isotopologues have been identified, covering a wide range of excitation temperature. Maser emission is detected in both the ortho-and para-H2O molecules. The line luminosities of ground state lines of ortho- and para-H2O, the high-J CO and NH3 lines show a clear correlation with mass-loss rate. The line ratios of H2O and NH3 relative to CO J = 6-5 correlate with the mass-loss rate while ratios of higher CO lines to the 6-5 is independent of it. In most cases, the expansion velocity derived from the observed line width of highly excited transitions formed relatively close to the stellar photosphere is lower than that of lower excitation transitions, formed farther out, pointing to an accelerated outflow. In some objects, the vibrationally excited H2O and SiO which probe the acceleration zone suggests the wind reaches its terminal velocity already in the innermost part of the envelope, i.e., the acceleration is rapid. Interestingly, for R Dor we find indications of a deceleration of the outflow in the region where the material has already escaped from the star.

AB Context. Fossil systems are galaxy associations dominated by a relatively isolated, bright elliptical galaxy, surrounded by a group of smaller galaxies lacking L* objects. Because of this extreme environment, fossil groups (FGs) are ideal laboratories for studying the mass assembly of brightest group galaxies (BGGs).
Aims. We analyzed the near-infrared photometric and structural properties of a sample of 20 BGGs present in FGs to better understand their formation mechanisms. They represent the largest sample studied to date.
Methods. K-s-band deep images were used to study the structural properties of our sample galaxies. Their surface-brightness distribution was fitted to a Sersic profile using the GASP2D algorithm. Then, the standard scaling relations were derived for the first time for these galaxies and compared with those of normal ellipticals and brightest cluster galaxies in non-fossil systems.
Results. The BGGs presented in this study represent a subset of the most massive galaxies in the Universe. We find that their ellipticity profiles are continuously increasing with the galactocentric radius. Our fossil BCGs follow closely the fundamental plane described by normal ellipticals. However, they depart from both the log sigma(0) vs. log L-Ks and log r(e) vs. log L-Ks relations described by intermediate-mass ellipticals. This occurs in the sense that our BGGs have larger effective radii and smaller velocity dispersions than those predicted by these relations. We also find that more elliptical galaxies systematically deviate from the previous relations, while rounder objects do not. No similar correlation was found with the Sersic index.
Conclusions. The derived scaling relations can be interpreted in terms of the formation scenario of the BGGs. Because our BGGs follow the fundamental plane tilt but have larger effective radii than expected for intermediate-mass ellipticals, we suggest that they only went through dissipational mergers in an early stage of their evolution and then assembled the bulk of their mass through subsequent dry mergers, contrary to previous claims that BGGs in FGs were mainly formed by the merging of gas-rich galaxies.

AB Context. Accurate physical properties of eclipsing stars provide important constraints on models of stellar structure and evolution, especially when combined with spectroscopic information on their chemical composition. Empirical calibrations of the data also lead to accurate mass and radius estimates for exoplanet host stars. Finally, accurate data for unusual stellar subtypes, such as Am stars, also help to unravel the cause(s) of their peculiarities.
Aims. We aim to determine the masses, radii, effective temperatures, detailed chemical composition and rotational speeds for the Am-type eclipsing binaries SW CMa (A4-5m) and HW CMa (A6m) and compare them with similar normal stars.
Methods. Accurate radial velocities from the Digital Speedometers of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics were combined with previously published uvby photometry to determine precise physical parameters for the four stars. A detailed abundance analysis was performed from high-resolution spectra obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (La Palma).
Results. We find the masses of the (relatively evolved) stars in SW CMa to be 2.10 and 2.24 M-circle dot, with radii of 2.50 and 3.01 R-circle dot, while the (essentially zero-age) stars in HW CMa have masses of 1.72 and 1.78 M-circle dot, radii of 1.64 and 1.66 R-circle dot - all with errors well below 2%. Detailed atmospheric abundances for one or both components were determined for 14 elements in SW CMa ([Fe/H] = +0.49/+0.61 dex) and 16 in HW CMa ([Fe/H] = +0.33/+0.32 dex); both abundance patterns are characteristic of metallic-line stars. Both systems are well fit by current stellar evolution models for assumed bulk abundances of [Fe/H] = +0.05 and +0.23, respectively ([alpha/Fe] = 0.0), and ages of similar to 700 Myr and 160 Myr.

AB The Caribbean corals, Acropora palmata (elkhorn) and A. cervicornis (staghorn), are abundant in fossil records but recent disease outbreaks have led to unprecedented losses. Fused staghorn coral, A. prolifera, is an F1 hybrid with an intermediate morphology to the parental species. The hybrid is absent in the fossil record and has generally been documented as rarer than the parental species. Currently, however, hybrid abundance varies across geographic locations with some sites having equivalent or higher hybrid densities than at least one of the parental species. This apparent change in hybrid abundance may be a result of increased absolute hybrid abundance (i.e. hybrid embryo formation), increased relative abundance from increased asexual reproduction (i.e. fragmentation), or hybrids recently suffering less mortality than the parental species (i.e. hybrids lack the postzygotic barrier of inviability). Other studies have shown that prezygotic barriers are weak and many sampled hybrids have unique genotypes suggesting multiple distinct hybridization events. Here, postzygotic barriers of intrinsic and extrinsic inviability were examined across life history stages. Hybrids were not found to be inferior to the parental species at any examined life history stage, and in a few cases hybrid viability exceeded the parental species. Current evidence of weak reproductive isolation, an increase in the hybrid's relative abundance, and hybrid expansion into reef zones typically occupied by the parental species suggest that recent ecological changes in this system (i.e. dramatic declines in the parental species coupled with changes in the environment) may be affecting the frequency of hybridization.

AB Sex allocation theory predicts that growth rates should influence the optimal size at sex change, with sex change occurring at larger sizes with increasing growth rates. We examined how variation in food availability affects growth rates and therefore influences size at sex change in 2 protandrous calyptraeid gastropods, Crepidula cf. marginalis and C. incurva. The lowest food concentration tested resulted in starvation and was discarded. The medium and high food concentrations resulted in differences in growth rates, and in both species the penis was lost and sex change was initiated at larger sizes with more food. However, food concentration had little effect on the size at which the female stage was attained. Food-induced alterations in the timing of sex change were not in the expected direction. C. cf. marginalis raised with less food initiated sex change earlier, but completed sex change later in time than those raised with more food. C. incurva both initiated and completed sex change later when raised with less food compared to those individuals raised with more food. In both species the transitional phase was completed more rapidly with more food. These results are consistent with the idea that, as more resources become available, time dedicated to active sexual phases is maximized and the duration of the non-reproductive transitional phase is minimized. Under 'good' conditions this is manifest by a delay in the loss of the male phase, but no change in the attainment of the female phase.

AB Phylogenetic relationships between two New World Syrphinae taxa (Diptera, Syrphidae), i.e. the highly diverse genus Ocyptamus and the large genus Toxomerus, were analysed based on molecular characters. The monophyly of both taxa was tested and the taxonomic status of included subgenera and species groups was examined. Toxomerus constitutes the monogeneric tribe Toxomerini with more than 140 described species, while Ocyptamus (tribe Syrphini) is a very diverse genus (over 300 spp.) with multiple recognised subgenera and species groups. Sequence data from three gene regions were used: the mitochondrial protein-coding gene cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and the nuclear 28S and 18S ribosomal RNA genes. The secondary structure of two expansion segments (D2, D3) of the ribosomal 28S RNA gene is presented for the family Syrphidae and used for the first time in a multiple sequence alignment. Molecular data were analysed using parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. Toxomerus was always recovered as monophyletic within Ocyptamus, and relationships to other New World taxa such as Salpingogaster (Eosalpingogaster) were well-supported. Only the subgenera and species groups of Ocyptamus were consistently recovered as monophyletic lineages, thus the apparent non-monophyly of Ocyptamus demands reclassification of this clade.

AB Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are revolutionizing many biological disciplines but have been slow to take root in phylogeography. This is partly due to the difficulty of using NGS to sequence orthologous DNA fragments for many individuals at low cost. We explore cases of recent divergence in four phylogenetically diverse avian systems using a method for quick and cost-effective generation of primary DNA sequence data using pyrosequencing. NGS data were processed using an analytical pipeline that reduces many reads into two called alleles per locus per individual. Using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) mined from the loci, we detected population differentiation in each of the four bird systems, including: a case of ecological speciation in rails (Rallus); a rapid postglacial radiation in the genus Junco; recent in situ speciation among hummingbirds (Trochilus) in Jamaica: and subspecies of white-crowned sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) along the Pacific coast. The number of recovered loci aligning closely to chromosomal locations on the zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) genome was highly correlated to the size of the chromosome, suggesting that loci are randomly distributed throughout the genome. Using eight loci found in Zonotrichia and Junco lineages, we were also able to generate a species tree of these sparrow sister genera, demonstrating the potential of this method for generating data amenable to coalescent-based analysis. We discuss improvements that should enhance the method's utility for primary data generation. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB The biology of snail-killing flies (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) has been studied intensively over the past half-century, especially over the past decade. Today, sciomyzids are biologically the best-known group of higher Diptera. The overarching research objectives are evaluation of sciomyzids as biocontrols of disease-carrying or agriculturally important snails and slugs and as a paradigm group for the study of the evolution of diverse feeding and associated behaviors in flies. We present reviews and analyses of some key features of particular scientific and societal interest, including behavioral and phenological groups; laboratory experimental studies on behavior and development; population biology, bioindicators, ecosystem service provision, and conservation; phylogenetics, molecular studies, and evolutionary biology; and biocontrol.

AB Ecosystem engineering is an important process influencing the structure and function of ecosystems worldwide. Geographic variation in a species' engineering processes can thus have important implications for spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem function. In this study I explore geographic variability in the engineering properties of an important organism in marine sedimentary habitats, the polychaete Diopatra cuprea. In the Northwest Atlantic, D. cuprea facilitates benthic communities by creating predation refugia and substrate-both density-dependent processes-and by actively attaching macroalgae to its tube. D. cuprea's ecosystem-engineering properties thus arise from both its abundance and its behavior. I show that both components of D. cuprea engineering decrease precipitously at low latitudes. I assess the relationship between these patterns and a suite of environmental parameters, finding that northern versus southern sites cluster separately in multivariate environmental space and that temperature, dissolved oxygen, and pH may contribute to both D. cuprea abundance and the biomass of facilitated algae. I present evidence that southern D. cuprea populations may be affected by post-recruitment mortality more severely than northern populations. Finally, I experimentally demonstrate that D. cuprea's failure to facilitate algae in its south ern range is not due to latitudinal differences in algal availability, acceptability or retain ability, but rather is a behavioral shift driven by still-unknown factors. This study demonstrates dramatic geographic variability in both D. cuprea's density-with strong implications for its density-dependent engineering functions-and D. cuprea's algal facilitation. Disentangling the mechanisms underlying such variability is an important goal for understanding spatial heterogeneity in the structure and function of North west Atlantic shallow-water sedimentary systems.

AB The New World species of the subgenera Allotrichoma Becker and Neotrichoma (new subgenus) are revised, including a phylogenetic analysis of the species groups and subgenera within the genus Allotrichoma. For phylogenetic perspective and to document the monophyly of the genus Allotrichoma and its included subgenera and species groups, we also provide a cladistic analysis of genera within the tribe Hecamedini. The ingroup included seven exemplar congeners from within Allotrichoma. Outgroup sampling included exemplars of other genera within Hecamedini and from the putative sister group, Lipochaetini, and to root the analysis, we used an exemplar of the tribe Discocerinini. Analyses with successive weighting and implied weighting recovered a monophyletic Allotrichoma and indicated clades within the genus. Eight new species are described (type locality in parenthesis): A. bifurcatum (Utah. Utah: Lake Shore (40 degrees 06.9'N, 111 degrees 41.8'W; 1370 m)), A. dynatum (Oregon. Benton: Finley National Wildlife Refuge (44 degrees 24.6'N, 123 degrees 19.5'W)), A. occidentale (Oregon. Lake: Lakeview (44 km E; Drake Creek; 42 degrees 11'N, 119 degrees 59.3'W)), A. robustum (California. Kern: Kern River (35 degrees 16.1'N, 119 degrees 18.4'W)), A. sabroskyi (New Mexico. Sandoval: La Cueva (Junction of Highways 126 and 4; 35 degrees 52'N, 106 degrees 38.4'W; 2342 m)), A. wallowa (Oregon Baker: Goose Creek (35 km E Baker City; 44 degrees 49.2'N, 117 degrees 27.79'W; 825 m)), A. baliops (Florida. Monroe: Key West (Willie Ward Park; 24 degrees 32.9'N, 81 degrees 47.9'W)), and A. insulare (Dominica. Cabrits Swamp (15 degrees 35'N, 61 degrees 29'W)). Within Allotrichoma, we recognize three subgenera of which one, Neotrichoma (type species: A. atrilabre), is newly described. All known species from the New World are described with an emphasis on structures of the male terminalia, which are fully illustrated. Detailed locality data and distribution maps for the New World species are provided. A lectotype is designated for Discocerina simplex Loew and a neotype is designated for Allotrichoma bezzii Becker. Allotrichoma filiforme Becker, A. trispinum Becker, and A. dahli Beschovski are reported as new synonyms of A. simplex (Loew) and A. yosemite Cresson is a new synonym of A. atrilabre Cresson. We also clarify the status of previously described species, including those with Holarctic distributions. For perspective and to facilitate genus-group and species-group recognition, the tribe Hecamedini is diagnosed and a key to included genera is provided.

AB We derive tropospheric column BrO during the ARCTAS and ARCPAC field campaigns in spring 2008 using retrievals of total column BrO from the satellite UV nadir sensors OMI and GOME-2 using a radiative transfer model and stratospheric column BrO from a photochemical simulation. We conduct a comprehensive comparison of satellite-derived tropospheric BrO column to aircraft in-situ observations of BrO and related species. The aircraft profiles reveal that tropospheric BrO, when present during April 2008, was distributed over a broad range of altitudes rather than being confined to the planetary boundary layer (PBL). Perturbations to the total column resulting from tropospheric BrO are the same magnitude as perturbations due to longitudinal variations in the stratospheric component, so proper accounting of the stratospheric signal is essential for accurate determination of satellite-derived tropospheric BrO. We find reasonably good agreement between satellite-derived tropospheric BrO and columns found using aircraft in-situ BrO profiles, particularly when satellite radiances were obtained over bright surfaces (albedo >0.7), for solar zenith angle <80 degrees and clear sky conditions. The rapid activation of BrO due to surface processes (the bromine explosion) is apparent in both the OMI and GOME-2 based tropospheric columns. The wide orbital swath of OMI allows examination of the evolution of tropospheric BrO on about hourly time intervals near the pole. Low surface pressure, strong wind, and high PBL height are associated with an observed BrO activation event, supporting the notion of bromine activation by high winds over snow.

AB A focus of the Arctic Research of the Composition of the Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS) mission was examination of bromine photochemistry in the spring time high latitude troposphere based on aircraft and satellite measurements of bromine oxide (BrO) and related species. The NASA DC-8 aircraft utilized a chemical ionization mass spectrometer (CIMS) to measure BrO and a mist chamber (MC) to measure soluble bromide. We have determined that the MC detection efficiency to molecular bromine (Br-2), hypobromous acid (HOBr), bromine oxide (BrO), and hydrogen bromide (HBr) as soluble bromide (Br-) was 0.9 +/- 0.1, 1.06 + 0.30/-0.35, 0.4 +/- 0.1, and 0.95 +/- 0.1, respectively. These efficiency factors were used to estimate soluble bromide levels along the DC-8 flight track of 17 April 2008 from photochemical calculations constrained to in situ BrO measured by CIMS. During this flight, the highest levels of soluble bromide and BrO were observed and atmospheric conditions were ideal for the spaceborne observation of BrO. The good agreement (R-2 = 0.76; slope = 0.95; intercept = -3.4 pmol mol(-1)) between modeled and observed soluble bromide, when BrO was above detection limit (>2 pmol mol(-1)) under unpolluted conditions (NO <10 pmol mol(-1)), indicates that the CIMS BrO measurements were consistent with the MC soluble bromide and that a well characterized MC can be used to derive mixing ratios of some reactive bromine compounds. Tropospheric BrO vertical column densities (BrOVCD) derived from CIMS BrO observations compare well with BrOTROPVCD from OMI on 17 April 2008.

AB Sexual cannibalism particularly before mating is costly for the male victim but also for the female aggressor if she risks remaining unmated. The aggressive spillover hypothesis explains the persistence of this behavior as a maladaptive side effect of positive selection on aggressiveness in a foraging context. The hypothesis predicts that the occurrence of sexual cannibalism is explained by female aggressiveness but is not related to male phenotype or behavioral type. An alternative hypothesis invokes sexual selection and makes the opposite prediction namely that sexual cannibalism is an expression of female choice and should hence mainly target males of low quality. We tested the above hypotheses on a sexually dimorphic nephilid spider Nephilengys livida, known for male monopolization of females via genital damage, female genital plugging, and mate guarding, by staging mating trials during which we recorded mating behaviors and occurrences of pre- and postcopulatory cannibalism. We did not restrict assessment of aggressiveness to the mating and foraging context but also included aggression against same sex conspecifics. To assess female personalities, i.e., consistent individual differences in behavior including aggressiveness, we repeatedly tested them for intra-sex aggression, voracity towards prey, locomotory activity, and boldness. Females exhibited consistent differences in intra-sex aggressiveness, latency to attack prey, and boldness. Aggressive females had shorter latencies to attack prey and were more active than non-aggressive ones. In contrast to the predictions of the aggressive spillover hypothesis, females that were aggressive towards prey and towards other females were not more likely to attack a male than non-aggressive females. In support of the mate choice hypothesis, less aggressive males were more likely attacked and cannibalized than more aggressive ones. This hints at sexual selection for aggressiveness in males and raises the question of mechanisms that maintain variation in male aggressiveness.

AB Marine conservation activities around the globe are largely undertaken in the absence of comprehensive species-specific information. To address this gap, complete regional species assemblages of major marine taxa are being progressively assessed against the Categories and Criteria of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. The present study is the first analysis of entire major components of the biota of a large marine biogeographic region conducted in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP). It is based on recently completed IUCN Red List assessments for all known species of bony and cartilaginous shorefishes, corals, mangroves, and seagrasses in the TEP. Twelve percent of the >1600 species assessed are in threatened categories, indicative of elevated extinction risk. Spatial analysis of all assessed taxonomic groups, including previous IUCN Red List assessments for seabirds, marine mammals, and marine turtles, highlights specific geographical areas of elevated threatened-species richness. The distribution of threatened species in the TEP is primarily linked to areas with high rates of overfishing, habitat loss, and increasing El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) event impacts, as well as oceanic islands with high stochastic risk factors for endemic species. Species assigned to the highest threat categories have life history traits that likely decrease their resilience to various regional and site-specific threats. Comprehensive information in the form of IUCN Red List assessments combined with spatial analysis will greatly help to refine both site- and species-specific marine conservation priorities in the TEP.

AB The design considerations for astronomical space telescopes cover many disciplines but can be simplified into two overarching constraints: the desire to maximize science while adhering to budgetary constraints. More than ever, understanding the cost implications up front will be critical to success. Science performance can be translated into a set of simple performance metrics that set the requirements for design options. Cost is typically estimated by considering mass, complexity, technology maturity, and heritage. With this in mind, we survey the many diverse design considerations for a space telescope and, where appropriate, relate them to these basic performance metrics. In so doing, we hope to provide a roadmap for future space telescope designers on how best to optimize the design to maximize science and minimize total cost.

AB With grazing incidence telescopes, x-ray astronomy became a major branch of astrophysics. They are an indispensable tool in the study of >10(6) K thermal and non-thermal high energy phenomena occurring in objects from the solar system to the most distant sites in the universe. They have shed light upon dark matter and dark energy. Four cosmic missions with focusing grazing incidence x-ray telescopes based upon the Wolter 1 geometry are currently in space. They include two observatory class facilities launched in 1999, NASA's high resolution x-ray and ESA's high throughput XMM-Newton. Two others are Japan's Suzaku, performing a variety of studies, and the Swift XRT, which finds precise positions for the x-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts. Four new cosmic missions with Wolter-like focusing telescopes are scheduled for launch. They will provide much broader bandwidth (NuSTAR and Astro-H), perform a new sky survey with more exposure time and a broader energy range than previous surveys (eROSITA), have an imaging detector with much better energy resolution (Astro-H), and measure polarization (GEMS). The Kirkpatrick-Baez and the lobster-eye are two types of potentially useful grazing incidence telescopes that have not yet been in orbit. It may not be possible to improve upon Chandra's 0.5 arcsec resolution without new technology. (C) 2012 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). [DOI: 10.1117/1.OE.51.1.011010]

AB Non-invasive Raman microspectroscopy, FTIR, mu XRD and XRF were used to identify the materials present in the black, red, and white surface decorations in selected pottery wares from two Prehispanic archaeological sites in Northwestern (NW) Argentina (AD 900-1530). The iron manganese spinel jacobsite, MnFe2O4, was found to be the main component of two of the fired black decorations analyzed, while hematite and amorphous silicates were found to be present in the red and white fired decorations, respectively. This is the first study, to our knowledge, that firmly identifies jacobsite in black decorations in Prehispanic archaeological ceramics.
In fragments recovered from one site, a carbon-based black pigment was identified while gypsum was observed in the recessed areas of decorative surface incisions. Gypsum, potassium nitrate and halite, most likely deposited during burial, were observed on the surface of some of the fragments analyzed. The results are discussed in the context of the technological processes involved and are compared to compositions previously reported for decorations in ceramic objects from NW Argentina.

AB Cardoso P. 2012. Diversity and community assembly patterns of epigean vs. troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. International Journal of Speleology, 41(1), 83-94. Tampa, FL (USA). ISSN 0392-6672. http://dx.doi.org/10.5038/1827-806X.41.1.9
Cave-obligate organisms usually have smaller ranges and their assemblages have higher beta diversity than their epigean counterparts. Phylogenetic and functional diversity is usually low in cave communities, leading to taxonomic and functional disharmony, with entire groups missing from the subterranean realm. The objective of this work is to compare range, beta diversity, phylogenetic and functional diversity, taxonomic and functional disharmony of epigean versus troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. The median extent of occurrence was found to be 33 times higher for epigean than for cave species. Beta diversity was significantly higher for troglobiont assemblages. Cave assemblages present lower phylogenetic and functional diversities than expected by chance. Taxonomic disharmony was noticeable, with many speciose families, namely Gnaphosidae, Salticidae and Lycosidae, absent in caves. Functional disharmony was equally high, with ambush hunters and sensing web weavers being absent in caves. The small range and high beta diversity of troglobiont spiders in the Iberian Peninsula is typical of many cave-obligate organisms, caused by the fragmentation and isolation of cave systems and the low vagility and high habitat specialization of species. Caves were colonized mainly by pre-adapted lineages, with high proportions of eutroglophile species. Some families no longer occur in surface habitats, possibly since the last glaciations, and currently are restricted to caves in the region. Few hunting strategies and web types are efficient in caves and these dominate among the troglobiont species. As troglobiont communities are of low alpha diversity, with low functional redundancy, have narrow ranges, present high levels of population fragmentation and are taxonomically unique, they should present higher proportions of imperilled species than epigean spiders in the Iberian Peninsula. Some species are probably endangered and require urgent conservation measures.

AB We investigated the phylogeny of the New World grass Dissanthelium to explore its monophyly, to examine relationships within the genus, and to investigate its relationship with Poa. Molecular phylogenetic analyses including a thorough sampling of Dissanthelium (seventeen of the 20 species) and DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid trnT-trnL-trnF regions suggest that Dissanthelium is not monophyletic and is nested within Poa. However, ten species form a strongly supported clade (the Dissanthelium clade) in the ITS tree. We propose treating Dissanthelizon and Tovarochloa as taxonomic synonyms of Poa. We erect two new sections in Poa: sect. Dissanthelium, comprising the Dissanthelium clade and D. peruvianum, and the monotypic sect. Tovarochloa. The necessary new combinations (Poa aequalis, P. amplivaginata, P. calycina var. mathewsii, P. gigantea, P. macusaniensis, P. rahuii, and P. trollii) and new names (Poa sections Dissanthelium and Tovarochloa, P. apiculata, P. arcuata, P. boliviana, P. congestn, P. deminuta, P. linenrifolia, P. parvifolia, P. serpaiana, P. swallenii, and P. thomnsii) are effected herein.

AB Premise of the study: In a previous paper, we questioned the traditional interpretation of the advantages and disadvantages of high wood density (Functional Ecology 24: 701-705). Niklas and Spatz (American Journal of Botany 97: 1587-1594) challenged the biomechanical relevance of studying properties of dry wood, including dry wood density, and stated that we erred in our claims regarding scaling.
Methods: We first present the full derivation of our previous claims regarding scaling. We then examine how the fresh modulus of rupture and the elastic modulus scale with dry wood density and compare these scaling relationships with those for dry mechanical properties, using almost exactly the same data set analyzed by Niklas and Spatz.
Key results: The derivation shows that given our assumptions that the modulus of rupture and elastic modulus are both proportional to wood density, the resistance to bending is inversely proportional to wood density and strength is inversely proportional with the square root of wood density, exactly as we previously claimed. The analyses show that the elastic modulus of fresh wood scales proportionally with wood density (exponent 1.05, 95% CI 0.90-1.11) but that the modulus of rupture of fresh wood does not, scaling instead with the 1.25 power of wood density (CI 1.18-1.31).
Conclusions: The deviation from proportional scaling for modulus of rupture is so small that our central conclusion remains correct: for a given construction cost, trees with lower wood density have higher strength and higher resistance to bending.

AB The full-length cDNA (1362 nucleotides, GenBank JF736621) encoding an extracellular copper zinc superoxide dismutase initially isolated from an EST library of the blue crab Callinectes sapidus was characterized using 3' RACE and named Cas-ecCuZnSOD-2. The open reading frame of Cas-ecCuZnSOD-2 contains 203 deduced amino acids with the conserved active catalytic center for copper and zinc binding and the post-translational modification at two putative N-glycosylation and nine phosphorylation sites. Overall, the deduced amino acids of Cas-ecCuZnSOD-2 shared only 35% sequence identity with that of Cas-ecCuZnSOD (GenBank AF264031) which was previously found in C sapidus, while it showed 75% sequence identity to Scylla paramamosain ecCuZnSOD (GenBank FJ774661). The expression profile of Cas-ecCuZnSOD-2 and the other three C sapidus SODs: ecCuZn, cytMn- and mitMn SODs was largely ubiquitous among the tested tissues obtained from a juvenile female at intermolt: brain, eyestalk ganglia, pericardial organs, and thoracic ganglia complex (nervous system); hepatopancreas (digestive system); heart, artery and hemocytes (circulatory system); gill and antennal gland (excretory system), hypodermis, and Y-organ (endocrine organ). Our study reports, for the first time in the crustaceans, expression analyses for all four Cas-SODs in hemocytes after immune challenges. Crabs challenged with lipopolysaccharides (LPS) injection had a remarkable induction of Cas-ecCuZnSOD-2 expression along with three other SODs in hemocytes, suggesting that Cas-SODs including Cas-ecCuZnSOD-2 are involved in the defense system, possibly innate immunity and immunocompetency of C. sapidus.

AB We review previous studies on the genetic diversity of malaria vectors to highlight the major trends in population structure and demographic history. In doing so, we outline key information about molecular markers, sampling strategies and approaches to investigate the causes of genetic structure in Anopheles mosquitoes. Restricted gene flow due to isolation by distance and physical barriers to dispersal may explain the spatial pattern of current genetic diversity in some Anopheles species. Nonetheless, there is noteworthy disagreement among studies, perhaps due to variation in sampling methodologies, choice of molecular markers, and/or analytical approaches. More refined genealogical methods of population analysis allowing for the inclusion of the temporal component of genetic diversity facilitated the evaluation of the contribution of historical demographic processes to genetic structure. A common pattern of past unstable demography (i.e., historical fluctuation in the effective population size) by several Anopheles species, regardless of methodology (DNA markers), mosquito ecology (anthropophilic vs zoophilic), vector status (primary vs secondary) and geographical distribution, suggests that Pleistocene environmental changes were major drivers of divergence at population and species levels worldwide.

AB Zoological institutions strive to ensure the welfare of nonhuman animals in captivity. Part of this effort involves reducing the level of distress experienced by an animal to the greatest extent possible. However, some necessary zoo management practices such as transportation induce stress responses. An extensive literature exists concerning the animal welfare implications of road transportation for farm and laboratory animals. There has, however, been little focus on the effects of air transportation on wild animals in captivity. Because many endangered species are transported by air for breeding purposes, it is especially important to study the effects of stress on these species. This study investigated the behavioral and hormonal consequences of transporting 4 giant pandas (2 male female pairs) by air from China to the United States. An autoregressive test revealed that urinary cortisol measures were highest for 2 subjects, Lun Lun and Tian Tian, during the flight than during the remainder of the 30-day period posttransport (p < .01). No long-term behavioral changes or problems emerged as a result of the transport. The study found that more research is needed to develop a complete understanding of transportation stress and welfare in captive wildlife.

AB Recent studies of dental microwear and craniofacial mechanics have yielded contradictory interpretations regarding the feeding ecology and adaptations of Australopithecus africanus. As part of this debate, the methods used in the mechanical studies have been criticized. In particular, it has been claimed that finite element analysis has been poorly applied to this research question. This paper responds to some of these mechanical criticisms, highlights limitations of dental microwear analysis, and identifies avenues of future research. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB Ecological communities and their component populations vary geographically in abundance. Energy theory posits that abundance (the number of individuals area-1) should increase with the ratio of available energy (as net primary productivity, NPP) to individual energy use (i.e. metabolic rate). Most tests of energy theory evaluate the assumption that population abundance decreases as body mass-0.75 (a proxy of metabolic rate). Using 664 ant populations from 49 communities we examine how both NPP and body mass individually and as a ratio predict abundance (colonies m-2) at these different levels of taxonomic aggregation. Energy theory best predicts ant abundance when populations are aggregated into communities. At the population level, abundance formed a unimodal scatter plot vs all three drivers colony mass, NPP, and NPP mass-0.75 suggesting that the majority of populations exist below energetic limits set by the ecosystem. At the community level, however, abundance scaled as predicted for mass-0.75 and NPP1.0, (b =-0.75
