Tolerance to air exposure of the New Zealand mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca) as a prerequisite to survival in overland translocations

Spreading throughout a new ecosystem is the last step of an exotic species to become invasive. In the case of invasive aquatic molluscs, tolerance to air exposure is one of the main mechanisms allowing overland translocation and spreading. The mudsnail Potamopyrgus antipodarum (Hydrobiidae, Mollusca) is native to New Zealand but it has spread worldwide, invading ecosystems in Europe, Australia, America and Asia. The aim of our study is to assess mudsnail tolerance to air exposure, which may contribute to the successful overland translocation of this species. We conducted a laboratory experiment with four levels of air exposure (9, 18, 24 and 36 hours in a controlled climatic chamber). Snails were placed for 60 seconds in a laboratory paper filter to remove surface snail water. Then they were placed back in empty vessels during the four periods of air exposure, except the control group, which was immediately returned to water. At the end of each period of air exposure all vessels were filled with water and the cumulative mortality was monitored after 24, 96, 168 and 264 hours of rehydration. The calculated Lethal Times (i.e. the time of air exposure (in hours) necessary to cause the death of 50% (LT50) or 99% (LT99) of the population) and their 95% confidence limits at 24, 96, 168 and 264 hours were 28.1 (25.2–31.9), 26.9 (24.2–30.1), 25.9 (23.4–28.9) and 25.9 (23.4–28.9) hours, respectively for LT50, and 49.6 (42.7–63.3), 45.6 (39.9–56.5), 43.2 (38.0–53.0) and 43.2 (38.0–53.0) hours, respectively for LT99. Therefore an air exposure time over 43 hours caused the death of all studied individuals during all monitoring periods. Extending the monitoring period beyond 24 hours did not significantly change lethal times. Therefore, we recommend exposing fishing tools or boats at open air during at least 53 hours as a low cost measure to control mudsnail spread in early stages of invasion

Ethics in social sciences: reflections on research practices in an anthropological study of indigenous knowledge

Esta contribución tiene como objetivo inicial presentar las características de algunos códigos de ética de investigación en Ciencias Sociales y, en particular, de aquellas guías que orientan los estudios científicos sobre los sistemas de conocimiento local indígena. En segundo lugar, se presenta una perspectiva novedosa sobre la evaluación ética de proyectos de investigación que opera a partir del análisis de la estrategia metodológica, incorporando las nociones de riesgo/daño, confidencialidad, consentimiento previo, libre e informado, vulnerabilidad, autonomía y propiedad intelectual. Se propone, a su vez, la implementación de este modelo a los procedimientos de investigación en un estudio sobre la transmisión de conocimiento local relacionado a la actividad textil en dos comunidades indígenas. Este ejercicio permite revisar nuevos aspectos del análisis que previamente no habían sido considerados. La discusión sobre normativas vigentes ―que alcanzan tanto códigos de ética científica como convenciones que regulan el tratamiento de sistemas de conocimiento local indígena―, sumada a la descripción e implementación del modelo en un caso puntual, nos permitirá identificar puntos centrales de reflexión para abordar las consideraciones éticas en propuestas de investigación en ciencias sociales.This paper initially presents the features of some ethic research codes within Social Sciences and, particularly, those guidelines concerning the scientific analysis of local and indigenous knowledge systems. Secondly, we present a new analytical perspective on the ethical assessment of research projects; this perspective focuses on the analysis of the methodological strategy, and incorporates the notions of risk/damage, confidentiality, free, prior and informed consent, vulnerability, autonomy, and intellectual property. Furthermore, we apply this analytical model to the research procedures deployed in a study about the transmission of local knowledge relative to textile activities within two indigenous communities. This exercise allows us to review some aspects of our analysis that were not considered previously. The discussion of current regulations regarding scientific ethic codes as well as international conventions that apply to the treatment of local indigenous knowledge systems, and the description and deployment of the model to a concrete case, will allow us to identify some of the nodal points of the analysis of the ethical considerations involved in social science research.Fil: Castro, Mora del Pilar.

Escape Room

[ES] En los últimos tiempos, el absentismo universitario ha ido incrementando de forma progresiva. Entre los motivos del abondono del aula se encuentra el empleo de metodologías docentes desfasadas. Este abandono es un reflejo de la poca o nula implicación del estudiantado en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje. Al objeto de reducir el absentismo y modificar los procesos de educación, se elabora este trabajo, donde se propone una forma de producción de contenidos por medio del Escape Room.Castro García, MP.
