Phylogenetic relationships and comparative larval morphology of epigean and stygobitic species of Limbodessus Guignot, 1939 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Bidessini), with a key of identification

The larvae of five epigean and 25 stygobitic species of the diving beetle genus Limbodessus Guignot, 1939 are described and illustrated for the first time, with special emphasis on morphometry and chaetotaxy of the cephalic capsule, head appendages, legs, last abdominal segment and urogomphi. Those of the following five epigean species are described: L. amabilis (Clark, 1862), L. compactus (Clark, 1862), L. inornatus (Sharp, 1882), L. praelargus (Lea, 1899), L. shuckardii(Clark, 1862). The 25 stygobitic larvae described are: L. barwidgeeensis Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. bigbellensis(Watts & Humphreys, 2000), L. challaensis (Watts & Humphreys, 2001), L. cooperi Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. eberhardi (Watts & Humphreys, 1999), L. exilis Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. fridaywellensis (Watts & Humphreys, 2001), L. hillviewensis (Watts & Humphreys, 2004), L. hinkleri (Watts & Humphreys, 2000), L. leysi Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. macrohinkleri Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. masonensis (Watts & Humphreys, 2001), L. millbilliensis Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. mirandaae Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. morgani (Watts & Humphreys, 2000), L. nambiensisWatts & Humphreys, 2006, L. ordinarius Watts & Humphreys, 2009, L. palmulaoides Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. pulpa (Watts & Humphreys, 1999), L. raeae Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. raesideensis (Watts & Humphreys, 2001), L. windarraensis (Watts & Humphreys, 1999), L. yandalensis Watts & Humphreys, 2006, L. yarrabubbaensis Watts & Humphreys, 2009, L. yuinmeryensis (Watts & Humphreys, 2003). The morphology and chaetotaxy of epigean vs. stygobitic species are compared, and a key for the identification of the species is presented. Contrary to their epigean counterparts, larvae of stygobitic Limbodessus have turned out to be very divergent morphologically. In addition to the common characteristics associated with an underground living (i.e., absence of stemmata, reduced pigmentation, and thin or soft exoskeleton), larvae of these species have undergone a variable modification of the frontoclypeus and have evolved relatively shorter tarsal claws. Two morphological groups of stygobitic species are evident, one including species less deviated from the ancestral (epigean) condition and another group comprising more modified species that typically have a larger size, a more or less pyriform head with a digitiform nasale, and a strongly reduced occipital foramen. Primary chaetotaxy of the species has remained a very conservative expression of the phenotype. Secondary chaetotaxy shows variation among the species, the most obvious being the variable number of lamellae clypeales and the presence or absence of secondary setae on the urogomphus. The phylogenetic relationships of Limbodessus are analyzed cladistically. Larvae of this genus lack the primary pore ABc, which is a synapomorphy of the tribe Bidessini. As presently defined, Limbodessus is probably paraphyletic with respect to Allodessus Guignot, 1953.Fil: Michat, Mariano Cruz. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Forced gradings and the Humphreys-Verma conjecture

Let $G$ be a semisimple, simply connected algebraic group defined and split over a prime field ${\mathbb F}_p$ of positive characteristic. For a positive integer $r$, let $G_r$ be the $r$th Frobenius kernel of $G$. Let $Q$ be a projective indecomposable (rational) $G_r$-module. The well-known Humprheys-Verma conjecture (cf. \cite{Ballard}) asserts that the $G_r$-action on $Q$ lifts to an rational action of $G$ on $Q$. For $p\geq 2h-2$ (where $h$ is the Coxeter number of $G$), this conjecture was proved by Jantzen in 1980, improving on early work of Ballard. However, it remains open for general characteristics. In this paper, the authors establish several graded analogues of the Humphreys-Verma conjecture, valid for all $p$. The most general of our results, proved in full here, was announced (without proof) in an earlier paper. Another result relates the Humphreys-Verma conjecture to earlier work of Alperin, Collins, and Sibley on finite group representation theory. A key idea in all formulations involves the notion of a forced grading. The latter goes back, in particular, to the recent work of the authors, relating graded structures and $p$-filtrations. The authors anticipate that the Humphreys-Verma conjecture results here will lead to extensions to smaller characteristics of these earlier papers

The Prospects for Fusion Emergence

This paper raises some concerns about Paul Humphreys’ fusion emergence in general and about his core example of fusion emergence (i.e., covalent bonding) in particular. It argues that the extent to which covalent bonding undermines the idea that our world’s ontology is wholly compositional has been overstated

Visual marking and change blindness : moving occluders and transient masks neutralize shape changes to ignored objects

Visual search efficiency improves by presenting (previewing) one set of distractors before the target and remaining distractor items (D. G. Watson & G. W. Humphreys, 1997). Previous work has shown that this preview benefit is abolished if the old items change their shape when the new items are added (e.g., D. G. Watson & G. W. Humphreys, 2002). Here we present 5 experiments that examined whether such object changes are still effective in recapturing attention if the changes occur while the previewed objects are occluded or masked. Overall, the findings suggest that masking transients are effective in preventing both object changes and the presentation of new objects from capturing attention in time-based visual search conditions. The findings are discussed in relation to theories of change blindness, new object capture, and the ecological properties of time-based visual selection.

A Review of Creation Research Regarding The Earth\u27s Magnetic Field Along With A Thorough Statistical Analysis Of The Data And Suggestions For Future Research

This paper updates Humphreys’ (2002) compilation of energy in various components of the earth’s magnetic field from 1900 to 2000. It extends Humphreys’ curve fits from the period 1970-2000 to the full period covered by available data, 1900-2010, and it allows for possible sinusoidal components similar to the one Humphreys (2011) found in the dipole magnetic moment. This paper finds a sinusoidal component not only in the energy in the dipole component, but in energies in higher-order components as well

The Impeachment and Removal of Tennessee Judge West Humphreys: John Bingham\u27s Prologue to the Johnson Impeachment Trial

At the beginning of the Civil War many individuals who held positions under the United States government submitted resignations which, in their minds, allowed them to assume positions with the so-called government of the Confederate States of America. One of the few individuals who did not do so, but nevertheless assumed a position under the Confederate States of America was U.S. District Judge West H. Humphreys. After the Confederacy was formed, he continued to hold court in the same courtroom but under the guise of a Confederate States Judge. This presented two problems for President Lincoln and the Unionists. First, without even the thin reed of resignation to attempt to protect him, this made Humphreys a visible and active traitor. Second, though one could argue that Humphreys had functionally vacated the U.S. District Court judgeship, others could make arguments that as long as Humphreys had not resigned there was no vacancy for President Lincoln to fill. Apparently with pressure from the Unionists of Tennessee, a decision was made to pursue impeachment proceedings against Judge Humphreys. The House voted for impeachment and elected as one of the managers future 14th Amendment author John A. Bingham. (R-OH.) He was the principle lawyer examining witnesses in the trial before the U.S. Senate. While it was a relatively short trial, it gave Bingham experience that no doubt proved useful later in the impeachment proceeding against Andrew Johnson. Judge Humphreys was ultimately convicted and removed from office, thus creating an opening for Unionist Connolly F. Trigg to be appointed judge in his place. Moreover, Judge Humphreys unintentionally earned a footnote in history as the first official who was not only convicted, but also permanently barred from holding any office under the United States government. This article tells the story of Congressman Bingham\u27s prosecution of the trial to a successful conclusion
