Genetic diversity and hybridisation estimates of Arctocephalus tropicalis and A. gazella from Marion Island
In this study, hypervariable region I (HVRI) of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region, and five microsatellite loci were used to assess genetic variability and the extent of hybridization between the two fur seals (Arctocephalus tropicalis and A. gazella), that occur on Sub-Antarctic Marion Island. Both species were harvested during the 18th and 19th centuries, leading to a reduction in population size and the extinction of A. gazella at some localities. Whilst both species have recovered and are increasing in size, it is not clear to what extent sealing has affected genetic variation, although a more pronounced effect would be expected for A. gazella, given the more intensive harvesting of this species. The current study confirmed this hypothesis and revealed that A. gazella had a nucleotide diversity of 2.9 % whilst for A. tropicalis it was 4.2 %, across the HRVI mtDNA region sequenced. For microsatellite DNA, genetic variation in A. tropicalis was higher than in A. gazella in terms of the total number of alleles detected and the level of heterozygosity (HE=0.875, HO=0.845, mean number of alleles=13.6 and HE=0.799, HO=0.781, mean number of alleles=13, respectively). Diversity in both species is among the highest recorded in pinnipeds to date, and suggests that sealing did not overly affect the levels of genetic variation in these species. In terms of population structure, A. tropicalis show a high level of population structure, as indicated by the ΦST of 0.32 between Marion and Gough Island. Furthermore, the A. tropicalis haplotype tree comprising individuals from Marion, Iles Crozet, Gough, and Amsterdam islands, recovered three divergent evolutionary lineages with bootstrap values of 86% and 98%, for two of these lineages, indicating strong genetic structure and independent evolution. Shared haplotypes between Marion and other islands confirmed genetic exchanges, whilst the grouping of Marion and Gough Islands together is indicative of regular migration between these two islands. For A. gazella, the haplotype tree recovered numerous instances of grouping of individuals from Marion and Bouvetøya Islands confirming the hypothesis Bouvetøya is likely source of immigrants to Marion Island. This was further confirmed by low population differentiation between these two islands (FST = 0.062 and ΦST of 0.08). The level of hybridization between these species was low at Marion Island with only one hybrid being detected among the 134 animals for which mtDNA data were generated, corresponding to 0.75%. The same individual was identified as a hybrid, following microsatellite profiling of 146 animals, corresponding to a hybridization estimate of 0.68 %. This hybrid individual was classified phenotypically as A. gazella and genotypically was shown to have A. tropicalis ancestry. This level of hybridization is low compared to the other islands where the two species co-occur. However as the samples used in this study were primarily collected from species-specific sites, this may be an underestimate, and the studies focusing on sites where they are known to occur symaptrically, may yield higher estimates.Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2009.Zoology and Entomologyunrestricte

Business Ecosystems as the Approach to Create Value and Appropriate Value for Small Firms in Emerging Markets
How can firms with limited scope and scale compete to create value and appropriate value beyond their existing business? Firms in the beekeeping industry in Tanzania, beekeepers, in particular, have failed to create sufficient value and appropriate a sizable value as they have limited financial resources to invest. The business ecosystem approach indicates that firms can jointly create value that can capture sizable value through the ecosystem's resources. In the beekeeping industry, the ecosystem should be structured around the honey collection center and its efficiency depends on productivity, lock-in, channel management, complementarity, and the position and activities of actors. Firms' ability to successfully create value and capture value depends on the ability to team up with partners with complementary assets and skills in an industry architecture. Value creation and value appropriation cannot materialize if partners are not committed and willing to work together on long term bases

The use of automated procedures by older adults with high arithmetic skills during addition problem solving.
International audienceIn contrast to other cognitive abilities, arithmetic skills are known to be preserved in healthy elderly adults. In fact, they would even outperform young adults because they more often retrieve arithmetic facts from long-term memory. Nevertheless, we suggest here that the superiority of older over younger adults could also stem from the use of more efficient automated and unconscious counting procedures. We tested 35 older participants using the sign priming paradigm and selected the 18 most efficient ones, aged from 60 to 77. Sign priming are interpreted as the indicator of the pre-activation of an abstract procedure as soon as the arithmetic sign is presented. We showed that expert elderly arithmeticians behaved exactly as 26 young participants presenting the same level of arithmetic proficiency. More precisely, we showed that presenting the “+” sign 150 ms before the operands speeds up the solving process compared to a situation wherein the problem is classically presented in itswhole on the screen. Only tie problems and problems involving 0 were not subjected to these priming effects and we concluded that only these problems were solved by retrieval, either of the answer for tie problems or of a rule for + 0 problems. These results could provide new insights for the conception of training programs aiming at preserving older individuals’ arithmetical skills and, in a longer-term perspective, at maintaining their financial autonomy, which is decisive for keeping them in charge of their daily life
Spatial-Numerical Associations Enhance the Short-Term Memorization of Digit Locations
Little is known about how spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) affect the way individuals process their environment, especially in terms of learning and memory. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of SNAs in a digit memory task in order to determine whether spatially organized mental representations of numbers can influence the short-term encoding of digits positioned on an external display. To this aim, we designed a memory game in which participants had to match pairs of identical digits in a 9 × 2 matrix of cards. The nine cards of the first row had to be turned face up and then face down, one by one, to reveal a digit from 1 to 9. When a card was turned face up in the second row, the position of the matching digit in the first row had to be recalled. Our results showed that performance was better when small numbers were placed on the left side of the row and large numbers on the right side (i.e., congruent) as compared to the inverse (i.e., incongruent) or a random configuration. Our findings suggests that SNAs can enhance the memorization of digit positions and therefore that spatial mental representations of numbers can play an important role on the way humans process and encode the information around them. To our knowledge, this study is the first that reaches this conclusion in a context where digits did not have to be processed as numerical values
HST and Spitzer Observations of the HD 207129 Debris Ring
A debris ring around the star HD 207129 (G0V; d = 16.0 pc) has been imaged in
scattered visible light with the ACS coronagraph on the Hubble Space Telescope
and in thermal emission using MIPS on the Spitzer Space Telescope at 70 microns
(resolved) and 160 microns (unresolved). Spitzer IRS (7-35 microns) and MIPS
(55-90 microns) spectrographs measured disk emission at >28 microns. In the HST
image the disk appears as a ~30 AU wide ring with a mean radius of ~163 AU and
is inclined by 60 degrees from pole-on. At 70 microns it appears partially
resolved and is elongated in the same direction and with nearly the same size
as seen with HST in scattered light. At 0.6 microns the ring shows no
significant brightness asymmetry, implying little or no forward scattering by
its constituent dust. With a mean surface brightness of V=23.7 mag per square
arcsec, it is the faintest disk imaged to date in scattered light.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figure
