    A second species of the sea anemone genus Isosicyonis is described and illustrated from 16 specimens collected in the Weddell Sea (Antarctica) on the Polarstern cruises ANT XVII/3, ANT XXI/2 and ANT XXIII/8. Isosicyonis striata n. sp. is easily distinguishable externally from the other species of the genus Isosicyonis alba by its pattern: white longitudinal stripes on the column, oral disc, and tentacles. It is also distinguished by internal features including the retractor muscles, parietobasilar muscles, marginal sphincter muscles, number of mesenteries, and cnidae. The genus Isosycionis is currently only known from the Southern Ocean. Both species of Isosicyonis live in association with a gastropod, with a single sea anemone occupying almost the whole shell of its gastropod host. The description of this new species, and our re-examination of Isosicyonis alba, resolves the controversial higher taxonomic position of the genus, confirming its placement within the Endomyaria

    A new species of sea anemone in the genus Hormathia, is described and illustrated based on fortytwo specimens collected during the Polarstern cruises ANT XV/3 and ANT XVII/3 in the Weddell Sea. The main features of the new taxon are the crown of flattened and hooked tubercles at the distal end of the scapus, the regular arrangement of pointed tubercles along the column and the cnidom. The new species shares the pointed tubercles, at least in the upper part of the scapus, with two other species of Hormathia in the southern hemisphere: Hormathia spinosa Hertwig 1882 and H. pectinata Hertwig 188

    New record of the sea anemone Kadosactis antarctica (Carlgren, 1928): re-description of an Antarctic deep-sea sea anemone, and a discussion of its generic and familial placement

    Get PDF
    Sagartiogeton antarcticus Carlgren, 1928 is an Antarctic deep-sea species of sea anemone only known from its holotype. The species has been assigned to the genera Sagartiogeton and Kadosactis, and is currently placed within the family Kadosactidae Riemann-Zu¨rneck, 1991. Kadosactis antarctica is re-described based on 11 specimens collected during the cruise of the R/V Polarstern ANT XIX/3 (ANDEEP-I) to the Scotia Sea and off the South Shetland Islands (Antarctica). The description includes a complete account of cnidae and photographs. Because the mesogloea is thickened on the aboral surface on the base of the tentacles, this feature becomes a generic character of Kadosactis rather than a differential specific character among the species of the genus as previously proposed. Furthermore, the known distribution of the species is enlarged to include the southern branch of the Scotia Sea

    Stephanthus antarcticus, a new genus and species of sea anemone (Actiniaria, Haloclavidae) from the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica

    Get PDF
    Stephanthus antarcticus gen. nov. et sp. nov. is described and illustrated from six specimens collected in the Antarctic Peninsula on the Polarstern cruises ANT XV/3 and ANT XIX/3. The new genus is characterised by the absence of sphincter and basilar musculature, the presence of a single strong siphonoglyph with a basal enlargement, distinct parietobasilar musculature, tentacles without acrospheres, two cycles of six pairs of mesenteries (only one of them perfect), and a deep fosse with parapet; another remarkable feature is the absence of microbasic p-mastigophores. The new genus shows characteristics of three families of soft-bottomdwelling sea anemones, namely Haloclavidae Verrill, 1899, Halcampoididae Appellöf, 1896, and Andresiidae Stephenson, 1922. The generic characters of Stephanthus gen. nov. are discussed and it is tentatively placed in the family Haloclavidae

    Palabras que moven o mundo: o ensino da literatura máis aló das aulas universitarias

    [Resumen] “Palabras que moven o mundo” é un proxecto interdisciplinar levado a cabo no curso 2017/2018 no marco de tres materias do Mestrado Universitario en Profesorado de Educación Secundaria Obrigatoria e Bacharelato, Formación Profesional e Ensinanza de Idiomas en que participou o alumnado do módulo específico de Linguas e Literaturas galega e castelá. Asenta na vindicación do hábitat e gravita arredor de tres elementos sobre os que queremos reformular a práctica docente: o espazo público, o uso da palabra escrita por parte de quen transita por este e a poesía, desde a convicción de que existe unha retroalimentación positiva entre todos eles. Así, a súa implementación contribuíu a facer máis habitábeis os espazos intervidos e estes actuaron, asemade, como resortes de visibilidade para o xénero poético e fomentaron a lectura fóra dos espazos en que esta constitúe unha práctica excesivamente ritualizada, promovendo a formación do alumnado en metodoloxías activas e ampliando a súa concepción de literatura e dos espazos en que debe proxectarse. Outrosí, a potencialidade transformadora do proxecto favoreceu tamén que o alumnado se decatase da importancia do espazo público como ámbito de diálogo e reflexión social e da dimensión das artes como xeradoras de pensamento crítico.[Abstract] Abstract:“Words to Rock the World” is an interdisciplinary project carried out during the 2017/2018 academic year in the context of three subjects belonging to the Master’s Degree in Teacher Training (University of A Coruña) and involving students from the module on Language and Literature in Galician and Spanish. Grounded on a particular interest in space, the project is organized around three elements and their potential intersections: public spaces, the use of the written word by those who inhabit such spaces, and (the vindication of) poetry. Its implementation has contributed to making the featured spaces more habitable, while adding visibility to the poetic genre and promoting the act of reading poetry in broader – and less ritualised – contexts and spaces. This, in turn, has served to train students in various methodologies of active learning as well as to widen their approach to literature, both in itself and in relation to the spaces in which it is usually consumed. In addition, the transforming potential of this project has also helped students to apprehend the importance of public spaces as sites of dialogue and social reflection, while reinforcing the potential of various artistic manifestations to engender critical thinking

    Evaluation of Anxiety, Suicidal Risk, Daily Stress, Empathy, Perceived Emotional Intelligence, and Coping Strategies in a Sample of Spanish Undergraduates

    Anxiety disorders and suicide are commonly under-recognized issues that can be a public health problem. Adolescents are among the most affected population groups and studying them can prevent serious health problems. These two elements are related, but at the same time, they can only be understood from a multifactorial point of view, so other related variables such as emotional intelligence, empathy, or coping strategies are key to understand their effect on the population. In this study, a series of methods to measure the variables of interest were applied to a specific group of adolescents to determine their mental health levels, focusing on suicide and anxiety episodes. The results reflected average levels with a tendency to be high in the case of anxiety and nonalarming levels in terms of suicide risk, both parameters presenting more worrying values in women. In turn, the correlation between suicide and anxiety was demonstrated considering the other variables (coping strategies, empathy, emotional intelligence, and prosociality). This research has relevant implications for the diagnosis, orientation, and design of psychoeducational and clinical interventions that contribute to the improvement of their well-being and quality of life

    Impact of stock health on fish prices: Evaluation and implications for food accessibility

    Get PDF
    [Abstract]: The continuous rise of the world’s population has made food security a major point of the global agenda, with fisheries providing a key source of nutrition, especially in developing countries. Ensuring their health is key to maintain the availability of the resource, but its effect over accessibility is yet unclear. In this paper, we discuss the relevance of stock health for ensuring the price accessibility of the resource. A Least Square Dummy Variable panel model is proposed for bluefin tuna prices, with a biological explanatory component, and dummy variables reflecting changes in fishing trends. Both have proven to be significant to explain annual price variations, with improvements in stock health achieving price reductions
