Revision of Hellén types of Alloxysta Förster (Hymenoptera: Figitidae, Charipinae)

Alloxysta type material described by Hellén and deposited in the Finnish Museum of Natural History (Helsinki, Finland), and the Göteborg Naturhistoriska Museet (Göteborg, Sweden) is revised. Nine species were studied; seven are considered valid: Alloxysta apteroidea Hellén, 1963; Alloxysta brachycera Hellén, 1963; Alloxysta glebaria Hellén, 1963; Alloxysta heptatoma Hellén, 1963; Alloxysta nigricans Hellén, 1963; Alloxysta patens Hellén, 1963 and Alloxysta soluta Hellén, 1963. These species are completely redescribed and their diagnostic characters are illustrated in corresponding plates. Alloxysta islandica Hellén, 1931 is here synonymized with Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841). The synonymy of Alloxysta ruthei Hellén, 1931 with Alloxysta fuscipes (Thomson, 1862) is confirmed. Lectotypes and paralectotypes have been established when necessary

Review of the brachypterous species of Alloxysta Förster, 1869 (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Charipinae) with a description of two new species

[EN] The aim of this study is to review the brachypterous species within the genus Alloxysta Förster, 1869. The known brachypterous species of Alloxysta have been compared with fully winged species in order to establish hypotheses regarding dimorphism for wing length and shape. This analysis is based only on the morphological features shared between species; breeding and genetic analyses will be necessary to test and refine these hypotheses. Two new brachypterous species are described here: Alloxysta curta Ferrer-Suay sp. nov. and Alloxysta pseudoconsobrina Ferrer-Suay sp. nov. Six species are revised. In total, there are now 8 brachypterous species known in this genus.SIWe are very grateful to David G Notton for his hospitality during our stay at the Natural History Museum (London, United Kingdom), where the new species here described was discovered, and to Dr Frank van Veen for his support during our stay at the University of Exeter and for sharing all his knowledge about the brachypterous species in the genus Alloxysta.

Study of the reaction 2-(p-nitrophenyl)ethyl bromide + OH- in dimeric micellar solutions

The dehydrobromination reaction 2-(p-nitrophenyl)ethyl bromide + OH− was investigated in several alkanediyl---bis(dodecyldimethylammonium) bromide, 12-s- 12,2Br− (with s = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12) micellar solutions, in the presence of NaOH 5 × 10−3 M. The kinetic data were quantitatively rationalized within the whole surfactant concentration range by using an equation based on the pseudophase ion-exchange model and taking the variations in the micellar ionization degree caused by the morphological transitions into account. The agreement between the theoretical and the experimental data was good in all the dimeric micellar media studied, except for the 12-2-12,2Br− micellar solutions. In this case, the strong tendency to micellar growth shown by the 12-2-12,2Br− micelles could be responsible for the lack of accordance. Results showed that the dimeric micelles accelerate the reaction more than two orders of magnitude as compared to waterConsejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa de la Junta de Andalucía FQM-274and P07-FQM-03056DGCYT grant BQU2009-0747

Two new records of Alloxysta (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Charipinae) from Colombia

The Charipinae from Colombia has been recently studied. Nine Charipinae species are known to be present in this country: Alloxysta arcuata (Kieffer, 1902), Alloxysta castanea (Hartig, 1841), Alloxysta consobrina (Zetterstedt, 1838), Alloxysta hansoni Pujade-Villar, 2011, Alloxysta obscurata (Hartig, 1840), Alloxysta medinae Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar, 2012, Alloxysta pilipennis (Hartig, 1840), Alloxysta torresi Ferrer-Suay & Pujade-Villar, 2012 and Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841). Here more Charipinae material has been studied from collections made with Malaise traps by the Humboldt Institute in several places of Colombia. In this study, two species are recorded for the first time from Colombia: Alloxysta mullensis (Cameron, 1883) and Alloxysta xanthopa (Thomson, 1862). Data of the capture of the specimens are given

S-nitrosylation of NF-kB p65 inhibits TSH-induced Na+/I- symporter expression

Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous signaling molecule involved in a wide variety of cellular physiological processes. In thyroid cells, NO-synthase III-endogenously produced NO reduces thyrotropin (TSH)-stimulated thyroid specific gene expression, suggesting a potential autocrine role of NO in modulating thyroid function. Further studies indicate that NO induces thyroid dedifferentiation, as NO donors repress TSH-stimulated I- uptake. Here, we investigated the molecular mechanism underlying the NO inhibited Na+/I- Symporter (NIS)-mediated I- uptake in thyroid cells. We showed that NO donors reduce I- uptake in a concentration-dependent manner, which correlates with decreased NIS protein expression. NO-reduced I- uptake results from transcriptional repression of NIS gene rather than post-translational modifications reducing functional NIS expression at the plasma membrane. We observed that NO donors repress TSH-induced NIS gene expression by reducing the transcriptional activity of the NF-κB subunit p65. NO-promoted p65 S-nitrosylation reduces p65-mediated transactivation of the NIS promoter in response to TSH stimulation. Overall, our data are consistent with the notion that NO plays a role as an inhibitory signal to counterbalance TSH-stimulated NF-κB activation, thus modulating thyroid hormone biosynthesis.Fil: Nicola, Juan Pablo.

Operationalizing Local Ecological Knowledge in Climate Change Research: Challenges and Opportunities of Citizen Science

Current research on the local impacts of climate change is based on contrasting results from the simulation of historical trends in climatic variables produced with global models against climate data from independent observations. To date, these observations have mostly consisted of weather data from standardized meteorological stations. Given that the spatial distribution of weather stations is patchy, climate scientists have called for the exploration of new data sources. Knowledge developed by Indigenous Peoples and local communities with a long history of interaction with their environment has been proposed as a data source with untapped potential to contribute to our understanding of the local impacts of climate change. In this chapter, we discuss an approach that aims to bring insights from local knowledge systems to climate change research. First, we present a number of theoretical arguments that give support to the idea that local knowledge systems can contribute in original ways to the endeavors of climate change research. Then, we explore the potential of using information and communication technologies to gather and share local knowledge of climate change impacts. We do so through the examination of a citizen science initiative aiming to collect local indicators of climate change impacts: the LICCI project (www.licci.eu). Our findings illustrate that citizen science can inspire new approaches to articulate the inclusion of local knowledge systems in climate change research. However, this requires outlining careful approaches, with high ethical standards, toward knowledge validation and recognizing that there are aspects of local ecological knowledge that are incommensurable with scientific knowledge.Peer reviewe

The term grafomotricidad in the initial level is essentially a motor act that has as purpose to educate and to correct the execution of the basic movements that take part in the writing. Estrada, R. (2006) contends that grafomotricidad is a pre-writing phase since it involves training for the realization of basic movements that are part of the correct directionality and layout of the letters.
