Résumé :

This paper presents a thesaurus of ancient and medieval zoological knowledge, called THEZOO, constructed in the framework of the International Research Group Zoomathia. It aims at integrating heterogeneous data sources on zoology in Antiquity and Middle Ages : mainly texts, but also images, archaeological objects and archaeozoological material. The development process of THEZOO combines 1) the manual annotation of books VIII-XI of Pliny the Elder’s Natural History, chosen as a reference dataset to elicit the concepts to be integrated in the thesaurus, and 2) the definition and hierarchical organization of the elicited concepts in the thesaurus. THEZOO is formalized in SKOS, the W3C standard to represent knowledge organization systems on the Web of data, and it is created with the Opentheso editor. Our final aim is to publish the thesaurus THEZOO as well as the corpus of annotated textual, iconograph ical and archeological resources, to support a semantic search in the corpus in different languages.

Résumé :

A Companion to Byzantine Science est un volume composé de 13 chapitres, d’une introduction de Stavros Lazaris, d’une conclusion d’Anne Tihon et de trois index (index général, index des manuscrits et index des noms modernes) réalisés par Antonio Ricciardetto. Onze des 13 chapitres sont consacrés à un domaine spécifique de la science byzantine (sur les sciences mathématiques, l’optique, la météorologie et la physique, l’astronomie et l’astrologie, la géographie, la zoologie, la botanique, la médecine et la pharmacologie, la médecine vétérinaire, l’art militaire et enfin les sciences occultes (divination, astrologie, alchimie). Les deux premiers chapitres (« ‘Inner’ and ‘Outer’ Knowledge : The Debate between Faith and Reason in Late Antiquity » d’Hervé Inglebert et « Science Teaching and Learning Methods in Byzantium » d’Immaculada Pérez Martín et Divna Manolova) constituent une sorte d’introduction à l’ensemble des sujets abordés dans le volume. L’éditeur réussit son pari en offrant ici un véritable guide utile pour faciliter l’accès aux textes grecs byzantins traitant de sciences mathématiques et naturelles.

Résumé :

Cancer is a disease of antiquity. The Ancient Greeks were familiar with onkos (from which we have the term oncology)—tumour of all sorts. Hippocrates coined karkinos and karkinoma, our source of the words cancer and carcinoma. Of a plethora of carcinogens, parasitic worms (helminths) constitute a considerable health concern. Three trematodes, Clonorchis sinensis, Opisthorchis viverrini, and Schistosoma haematobium are now officially classified carcinogens. But the discovery of helminths as cancer-causing agents took wrong turns and marks an inglorious chapter in the history of science. The carcinogenicity of worms, vindicating Rudolf Virchow’s reiztheorie (irritation theory) of cancer origin, was glorified in the scientific forefront by Johannes Fibiger in the 1910s. Discovery of a new nematode, which he proudly named Spiroptera carcinoma, and his subsequent demonstration that the parasite could induce stomach cancer in rats, earned Fibiger a retrospective Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1926, and a lasting fame. But not in an appealing way. His achievement did not withstand the test of time. S. carcinoma was annulled as an invalid taxon in zoology—supplanted by Gongylonema neoplasticum—and eventually was branded as a non-carcinogenic agent.

Résumé :

The natural history collection of the Bolognese polymath, encyclopedist, and natural philosopher Ulisse Aldrovandi (1522-1605) is regarded as the first museum in the modern sense of the term. It was intended as a resource for scholarship and a microcosm of the natural world, not simply a cabinet of curiosities. In addition to physical specimens, Aldrovandi’s zoological material included a large series of paintings of animals (Tavole di Animali) that were integral to the collection. Following Aldrovandi’s death, his collection was maintained by the terms of his will, but by the 19th century relatively little remained. We examined surviving herpetological components of the collection, comprising 19 specimens of ten species, as well as the corresponding paintings and associated archival material in the Museum of Palazzo Poggi, Museo di Zoologia, and Biblioteca Universitaria Bolognese in Bologna, Italy. Although the antiquity of some of these dried preparations is in question, many are documented in the Tavole di Animali and/or are mentioned in 17th century lists of the museum, verifying them as the oldest museum specimens of amphibians and reptiles in the world. Exotic species are best represented, including two specimens of Uromastyx aegyptia and several boid snakes – the first New World reptiles to be displayed in Europe. However, the Tavole di Animali suggest that the original collection was dominated by Italian taxa and that greater effort may have been made to conserve the more spectacular specimens. The Aldrovandi collection provides a tangible link to the dawn of modern herpetology in Renaissance Italy.

Résumé :

Although the treatment of seeds to prevent disease is a practice of great antiquity, recent years have seen the advent of increasingly more sophisticated techniques. These can confer various advantages, including the production of seeds of uniform shape and size to facilitate sowing; protection against pests and diseases; control of dormancy; and enhancement of growth. Seed rather than foliar application of agrochemicals also has environmental advantages.

Résumé :

SUMMARYProgarnia archosauriaenov. gen., nov. sp. (Haemosporina: Garniidae) is described in the blood of the South American caiman,Caiman crocodilus crocodilus(Archosauria: Crocodilia). The parasite undergoes merogony and gametogony principally in leucocytes and thrombocytes, but also invades erythrocytes in which it produces no ‘malarial’ pigment. It thus shares features ofFallisiaandGarniawhich are, respectively, intra-leucocytic and intra-erythrocytic haemosporines of the family Garniidae in present-day lizards. This, and the antiquity of the order Crocodilia, suggests that it was from such a parasite that the existing reptilian and avian haemosporines evolved. An overall evolutionary pattern is suggested.

Résumé :

Este trabajo investiga el origen de la pesca con mosca en Europa. Se postula que este tipo de pesca tiene profundas raíces históricas que se remontan a una fase temprana de la Edad del Hierro dado el avanzado estado de desarrollo de las técnicas pesqueras en la Antigüedad. Proponemos aquí que los elementos claves que condujeron a esta invención fueron: (1) la alimentación en superficie de la trucha sobre las moscas de mayo del género Oligoneuriella (principalemente O. rhenana) así como (2) la baja eficacia pesquera de los cebos naturales en tales circunstancias. El desarrollo de moscas artificiales fue el resultado de observaciones precisas y una buena comprensión del entorno por parte de los antiguos pescadores, a quien uno podría considerar como los fundadores de la entomología aplicada. Es muy probable que esta invención se produjera de forma independiente en diferentes regiones. Por otra parte proponemos que el desarrollo de las grandes moscas artificiales que se asemejan a pequeños peces discurrió por un sendero diferente ya que el origen de éstas puede rastrearse a cebos desarrollados durante el Paleolítico en la región euroasiática.

Résumé :

The paper is based on A. Toynbee’s methodology and analyzes the metamorphoses of morality as answers to the challenges of history. The historical period of the emergence of morality is subjected to reflection, when the development of normativity in behavior became a condition for the survival of primitive society. Consideration of the evolution of the morality of Antiquity made it possible to discover the social conditioning of moral ideas.Based on the conclusion of N.S. Rozov about the existence of certain conditions that precede any cultural phenomena, the metamorphoses of the morality of the Renaissance were studied.It was found that the Toynbean concept of “esterification” should be used to reflect the evolution of historical challenges, in particular, the situation faced by modern society, when globalization processes led to new metamorphoses of morality.

Résumé :

The Iranian peoples, or Aryans as they called themselves, are the indisputable characters of the last millennium of the history of the Ancient Near East. How they began to take part in the history of Central Asia to become some of the most eminent rulers of Late Antiquity, is still difficult to follow today. Our intention in this paper is to collect the work on this subject of Soviet scholars and relate it with those carried out by archaeologists from different countries in cooperation with the Central Asian republics, particularly with our research within the frame- work of the Turkmen-Spanish archaeological Mission in Dahistan (Southwestern Turkmenistan). Through archaeological data, as well as through written sources, we will focus on the faunas that lived with these people, and put them in connection with the re-writing of the history of the so- called Median Empire.

Résumé :

The term “vitamin” or “vitamine” was first used in 1912. What later became known as vitamin deficiency diseases — scurvy, beriberi, night blindness and xeropthalmia — had plagued the world from antiquity. From 1900 through the 1930s, experiments with animals helped to advance knowledge of vitamins considerably. There are 15 vitamins of significance for livestock. A number of factors influence vitamin requirements and vitamin utilization, including physiological make-up and production function; confinement rearing without pasture; stress, disease and adverse environmental conditions; vitamin antagonists; use of antimicrobial drugs; and body vitamin reserves. Under commercial livestock and poultry production conditions, vitamin allowances higher than National Research Council (USA) requirements may be needed for optimum performance. Generally, the optimum vitamin supplementation level is the quantity that achieves the best growth rate, feed utilization and health (including immune competency), while also providing adequate body reserves. Key words: Vitamins, history, deficiency, requirements, supplementation

Résumé :

Representatives of the Diodontidae family (porcupinefish) are known to have been fished by prehistoric Indo-Pacific populations; however, the antiquity of the use of this family is thus far unknown. We report here on the presence of Diodontidae in the archaeological sites of Bubog I, II, and Bilat in Mindoro, Philippines, dating back to c. 13,000 BP (Before Present). This evidence demonstrates the early exploitation by islanders of poisonous fish. Every part of porcupinefish can be toxic, but the toxicity is mostly concentrated in some organs, while other parts are edible. The continuous presence of Diodontidae remains throughout the stratigraphic record of these Philippines shell middens suggests that porcupinefish were prepared by human inhabitants of the sites to render them safe for consumption, indicating an advanced cultural knowledge of the preparation needed to separate the toxic principle from the edible parts. This constitutes one of the rare examples of poison processing by humans, aside from the contentious wooden stick poison applicator from Border Cave (South Africa).

Résumé :

The basically southeast Asian genus Plusioglyphiulus is shown to currently comprise 27 species, all keyed, of which 13 are new, stemming from Thailand, and mapped: P. panhai sp. n., P. antiquior sp. n., P. sutchariti sp. n., P. likhitrakarni sp. n., P. pimvichaiae sp. n., P. erawan sp. n., P. wat sp. n., P. tham sp. n., P. phra sp. n., P. jaydee sp. n., P. puttakun sp. n., P. saksit sp. n. and P. samakkee sp. n. Although the new species have mainly been collected in caves, none seems to actually represent a troglobiont. A second record of P. ampullifer Golovatch, Geoffroy, Mauriès & VandenSpiegel, 2009 is provided in southern Vietnam, as well as new illustrations are presented for P. bessoni Golovatch, Geoffroy, Mauriès & VandenSpiegel, 2009, prepared from strictly topotypic samples in northern Thailand. With the discovery of P. panhai sp. n. and, especially, P. antiquior sp. n., both from southern Thailand, and both markedly transitional to the more northerly diversified javanicus-group of Glyphiulus, the genus Plusioglyphiulus is reconfirmed as being heterogeneous. Its diagnosis seems to be based now only on a single, rather weak apomorphy in posterior gonopod structure. Some evolutionary and zoogeographical considerations are presented to substantiate the predominantly eastward and/or southward speciation events in typical Plusioglyphiulus which have reached northern and eastern Borneo in the east and southeast.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

The three native frog species of New Zealand were examined for gastrointestinal helminth parasites. Leiopelma hamiltoni was uninfected. Leiopelma hochstetteri was parasitized by the nematodes Aplectana novaezelandiae n.sp. and Cosmocerca australis n.sp. (both Cosmocercidae: Cosmocercinae), and the digenean Dolichosaccus (Lecithopyge) novaezealandiae Prudhoe, 1972 (Telorchiidae: Opisthoglyphinae). Leiopelma archeyi was infected with Cosmocerca archeyi n.sp. The three new cosmocercid species are differentiated readily from congenerics in other parts of the world by caudal features of the males and the shape of the female tail. Cosmocerca archeyi differs from C. australis in the shape of the tail in both males and females, the lack of rosette caudal papillae in males, and the possession of an unusually robust ventral somatic musculature in females. Since the native frogs from New Zealand are believed to have been isolated since the Mesozoic, the presence in them of cosmocercids that fall readily into well-established genera confirms the antiquity of the subfamily Cosmocercinae.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

Endocranial volume was measured in a large sample (n = 128) of free-ranging dingoes (Canis dingo) where body size was known. The brain/body size relationship in the dingoes was compared with populations of wild (Family Canidae) and domestic canids (Canis familiaris). Despite a great deal of variation among wild and domestic canids, the brain/body size of dingoes forms a tight cluster within the variation of domestic dogs. Like dogs, free-ranging dingoes have paedomorphic crania; however, dingoes have a larger brain and are more encephalised than most domestic breeds of dog. The dingo’s brain/body size relationship was similar to those of other mesopredators (medium-sized predators that typically prey on smaller animals), including the dhole (Cuon alpinus) and the coyote (Canis latrans). These findings have implications for the antiquity and classification of the dingo, as well as the impact of feralisation on brain size. At the same time, it highlights the difficulty in using brain/body size to distinguish wild and domestic canids.

Résumé :

(1) Background: Since antiquity, it is considered that sounds influence human emotional states and health. Acoustic enrichment has also been proposed for domestic animals. However, in both humans and animals, effects vary according to the type of sound. Human studies suggest that frequencies, more than melodies, play a key role. Low and high frequencies, music tuning frequency and even EEG slow waves used for ‘neurofeedback’ produce effects. (2) Methods: We tested the possible impact of such pure frequencies on racehorses’ behavior and physiology. A commercial non-audible acoustic stimulus, composed of an array of the above-mentioned frequencies, was broadcasted twice daily and for three weeks to 12 thoroughbred horses in their home stall. (3) Results: The results show a decrease in stereotypic behaviors and other indicators such as yawning or vacuum chewing, an increase in the time spent in recumbent resting and foraging, and better hematological measures during and after the playback phase for 4 of the 10 physiological parameters measured. (4) Conclusions: These results open new lines of research on possible ways of alleviating the stress related to housing and training conditions in racehorses and of improving physical recovery.

Résumé :

Created in the 1630s, the legend of Sloven and Rus illuminates the early history of Rus’ from the Great Flood to the invitation of Rurik. Although this tale is one of the principal pieces of Russian historical writing from the first half of the 17th century, I suggest that it remains misunderstood. It not only stands out from the Old Russian chronicle tradition but is also alien to it. The legend is concerned with the ethno-cultural rather than the dynastic or state origins of Rus’, the beginnings of the Rus’ people rather than the Rus’ state. Focused on Novgorod, it opposes the Kievan Rus’ narrative. The legend is a compilation of borrowed stories about European antiquity synchronized by Renaissance humanists. The Tale of Sloven and Rus offered Muscovite Rus’ a new starting point and set new milestones for its history, adjusted its branches of succession to European ancestry, and in this way opposed the isolationist trend of the “Old Russian tradition”. The Time of Troubles (Smuta), which compelled Muscovite Russia to think about its place in the new Europe, was the very impetus for the creation of this legend. The article considers the legend as the first early modern national narrative of Muscovite Rus’ within the general European ideological and cultural context.

Résumé :

Humans have developed a special relationship with some animal species throughout history, even though these animals were never domesticated. Based on raptors, bears, beavers, and elks, the question of whether there are similarities between the perception of these animals that triggered a special kind of fascination in humans and how the relationship between humans and these animals changed between Mesolithic age and medieval times is addressed. As we demonstrate, the categorical antagonism between ‘animal’ and ‘human’ is a concept that saw different kinds of influence, from the advent of sedentarism and husbandry to Christianity and from philosophical thinking in Classical Antiquity and the Period of Enlightenment. In prehistory and early history, we find different, opposing world views across time, cultures, and periods. Differences between animals and humans have been considered as fluid, and humans have had to engage with animals and their needs. The well-known and famous ‘bear ceremonies’ attested to different peoples and times were not unique, but were a part of belief systems that also included other animal species. Among the considered animals, certain raptor species attracted the attention of humans who tried to establish contact with them, as companions, whereas bears were almost ‘disguised humans’ due to all their similarities with humans, but they were also tabooed beings whose real names had to be avoided.

Résumé :

The classification of “parasites” in the medical field is a challenging notion, a group which historically has included all eukaryotes exclusive of fungi that invade and derive resources from the human host. Since antiquity, humans have been identifying and documenting parasitic infections, and this collective catalog of parasitic agents has expanded considerably with technology. As our understanding of species boundaries and the use of molecular tools has evolved, so has our concept of the taxonomy of human parasites. Consequently, new species have been recognized while others have been relegated to synonyms. On the other hand, the decline of expertise in classical parasitology and limited curricula have led to a loss of awareness of many rarely encountered species. Here, we provide a comprehensive checklist of all reported eukaryotic organisms (excluding fungi and allied taxa) parasitizing humans resulting in 274 genus-group taxa and 848 species-group taxa. For each species, or genus where indicated, a concise summary of geographic distribution, natural hosts, route of transmission and site within human host, and vectored pathogens are presented. Ubiquitous, human-adapted species as well as very rare, incidental zoonotic organisms are discussed in this annotated checklist. We also provide a list of 79 excluded genera and species that have been previously reported as human parasites but are not believed to be true human parasites or represent misidentifications or taxonomic changes.

Résumé :

AbstractPlants have provided humans with useful products since antiquity, but in the last 30 years they have also been developed as production platforms for small molecules and recombinant proteins. This initially niche area has blossomed with the growth of the global bioeconomy, and now includes chemical building blocks, polymers and renewable energy. All these applications can be described as “plant molecular farming” (PMF). Despite its potential to increase the sustainability of biologics manufacturing, PMF has yet to be embraced broadly by industry. This reflects a combination of regulatory uncertainty, limited information on process cost structures, and the absence of trained staff and suitable manufacturing capacity. However, the limited adaptation of plants and plant cells to the requirements of industry-scale manufacturing is an equally important hurdle. For example, the targeted genetic manipulation of yeast has been common practice since the 1980s, whereas reliable site-directed mutagenesis in most plants has only become available with the advent of CRISPR/Cas9 and similar genome editing technologies since around 2010. Here we summarize the applications of new genetic engineering technologies to improve plants as biomanufacturing platforms. We start by identifying current bottlenecks in manufacturing, then illustrate the progress that has already been made and discuss the potential for improvement at the molecular, cellular and organism levels. We discuss the effects of metabolic optimization, adaptation of the endomembrane system, modified glycosylation profiles, programmable growth and senescence, protease inactivation, and the expression of enzymes that promote biodegradation. We outline strategies to achieve these modifications by targeted gene modification, considering case-by-case examples of individual improvements and the combined modifications needed to generate a new general-purpose “chassis” for PMF.

Résumé :

At a time when Ukraine, even with some lag behind other European countries, is beginning to finally lose its traditional folklore, its practical museification is a crucial task. One of the most important tasks of this process is to explain the preserved and reconstruct forgotten rites in their song context. Kupala needs an important place among the urgent issues of such an understanding. The polysemy of this word itself testifies both to its antiquity and to the gradual path to the loss of some meanings. The analysis of similar holidays among the peoples of Europe shows that the Ukrainian holiday with this name has absorbed many meanings that could belong to other calendar holidays or were transferred from Ukraine and occasionally adapted to other dates or occasions. The material for the analysis were only texts that have a direct mention of the dome in its various forms. The Ukrainian token Kupala has several meanings: the name of the holiday, a ceremonial tree, a pile of bushes for the Kupala hearth, Kupala songs are called kupala in the far northwest. The lyrics associate the word with such ceremonial content as weaving wreaths, lighting a bonfire by a young woman and keeping it for three days, jumping over a fire, girls fighting for boys, orgiastic actions of young people („purchase sin”) and even natural punishment for it by abdominal pain, witchcraft is often mentioned.

Résumé :

Labor is both punishment and curse.At least this is what the mythical scenes of division and exclusion in Hesiod and in the Old Testament dramatise.At the same time they can be regarded as symptoms of misogyny.Without doubt, those two mythical scenes and the divine power to curse and sentence have held their spell over the economic tractates from antiquity to the modern period. How do the ancient writings of economic theory—and specifically Aristotle’s Politics and Ethics—regulate female Pleonexia on the one hand, and the limitless penal labor imposed on men on the other? How in turn do the economic tractates of the modern period—and here specifically John Locke’s famous essays on the economy of labor—respond to the problem of female hybris on the one hand and the characteristical burden and suffering associated with labor on the other? What role does the differentiation and separation between free and unfree, productive and reproductive labor and, not least, the economic marginalisation of reproductive labor, play in this? And finally: In what way do »King Bee« and Queen Bee, Nurse Bee and Drone appear in this context as figures of an at once mythical and economic zoology, whose emblematic efficacy extends up to Bernard Mandeville’s Fable of the Bees?

Résumé :

This paper presents a zooarchaeological analysis from the site of Spolverino (southern Tuscany, Italy). Archaeological excavations have uncovered a complex stratigraphy dated from the Roman Imperial period to Late Antiquity (late 1st- early 6th centuries AD). The industrial function of the site in Imperial times is partially reflected in the nature of the faunal assemblage. In Late Antiquity, Spolverino lost its original manufacturing functions, as many of the workshops were abandoned; our evidence, however, suggests that some livestock was kept, probably managed by a restricted group of people still living in that area. Some hunting was practiced throughout the occupation but it increased in the later periods. Remarkable, in Late Antiquity, is the occurrence of the fallow deer, an introduced species, rare in Roman contexts.

Résumé :

A large number of zooarchaeological remains have been documented at El Castillón archaeological site (Province of Zamora, north-western Spain) and dated to Late Antiquity, in the 5th and 6th centuries cal AD. While most of them belong to domestic mammals, and a few to wild ones, remains of other vertebrates have been reported, among them birds. This article details the archaeofaunistic investigation of the galliform remains documented at the site. It focuses on the anatomic analysis of age profiles and taphonomic and biometric aspects. Through this research, we may conclude that the village practised poultry livestock and that domestic chicken was part of the inhabitants’ diet.

Small-scale fishery effects are often overlooked by fishery and environmental managers. This study aimed to assess the impact of traditional cockle fishery on its population in the northeastern coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The study took place from January 2018 to December 2018. Samples were obtained from Ujung Perling in Aceh Timur Regency, which is the only fishing ground exploited at present. Parameters estimated in this study include growth, mortalities, and exploitation levels. Analysis revealed that the average length was 50.03 mm, with the maximum shell length captured is 78 mm. Von Bertalanffy K-coefficient is 2.3 with a lifespan that can reach 3 years. Natural mortality is 2.27 year-1, while fishing mortality is 6.74 year-1. The exploitation rate in this study is 0.75. Growth parameters indicate that Ujung Perling is a suitable habitat for the cockle to grow, but mortalities and exploitation parameters suggest overexploitation is taking place in the area. To keep the population at a safe level, exploitation needs to be lessened to 33% from the current level.

Résumé :

Abstract Over the past decades the molecular mechanisms responsible for circadian phenotypes of animals have been studied in increasing detail in mammals, some insects, and other invertebrates. Particular circadian proteins and their interactions are shared across evolutionary distant animals resulting in a hypothesis for the canonical circadian clock of animals. As the number of species for which the circadian clockwork has been described increases, the circadian clock in animals driving cyclical phenotypes becomes less similar. Our focus in this review is to develop and synthesize the current literature to better understand the antiquity and evolution of the animal circadian clockwork. Here, we provide an updated understanding of circadian clock evolution in animals, largely through the lens of conserved genes characterized in the circadian clock identified in bilaterian species. These comparisons reveal extensive variation within the likely composition of the core clock mechanism, including losses of many genes, and that the ancestral clock of animals does not equate to the bilaterian clock. Despite the loss of these core genes, these species retain circadian behaviors and physiology suggesting novel clocks have evolved repeatedly. Additionally, we highlight highly conserved cellular processes (e.g., cell division, nutrition) that intersect with the circadian clock. The conservation of these processes throughout the animal tree remains essentially unknown, but understanding their role in the evolution and maintenance of the circadian clock will provide important areas for future study.

Résumé :

In 2017 and 2018, two groups of biologists published papers in which they independently described what was referred to as a ‘novel’ or ‘new’ feeding behaviour for cetaceans. Called ‘trap’ or ‘tread-water’ feeding, the behaviour was of interest as it was the first time that passive or stationary in contrast to lunge, and vertical as opposed to horizontal position, feeding had been observed by whales. A subsequent historical ecology paper suggested that the recently described behaviour had in fact been previously observed and documented by illustrators and writers in Classical Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Because yesterday’s ‘sea monsters’ are today’s megafauna, recounted sightings of the former can provide early insight into whale behaviour. One such example is an 19th century sighting of a ‘sea monster’ in the Gulf of Suez, whose description and illustration are nearly identical to modern scientific reporting of whales engaged in trap/tread-water feeding. Such concordance is further evidence in support of a historical precedence with respect to observing and documenting this behaviour.

Résumé :

AbstractBased both on published GenBank DNA sequences and newly produced sequences, I have assembled the largest multi‐loci sequence dataset of the Diplommatinidae to date to investigate their evolutionary history. The focus of this study is on the diverse genus Palaina, which is represented by new sequences of its type species as well as additional samples from Timor and the Solomon Islands. In addition, the type species of Palmatina from Norfolk Island is also included. A relaxed molecular clock hypothesis is presented that incorporates several calibration points based on fossils or on previously published age estimates for major clades. Accordingly, the Sundaland diplommatinids Plectostoma, Opisthostoma, Arinia and Diplommatina are of considerable evolutionary antiquity, each likely having originated during the Cretaceous or early Paleogene at the latest. The Palaina sensu lato main clade was found to be the sister of all other diplommatinids included in the tree and has also diverged during the late Cretaceous. Palaina as currently delineated is rendered non‐monophyletic by the radiations of Hungerfordia and Eupalaina, which are endemic to the archipelago of Palau, as well as Palmatina from Norfolk Island.

Résumé :

Summary Since antiquity, the keeping of finches as pets has been common throughout the Mediterranean countries and it remains a widespread hobby to the present day. Since most finches are sourced from the wild this hobby can have implications for their conservation, especially for already imperilled species. We conducted a survey of 257 households in the city of Guelma, in the north-east of Algeria, and of 70 participants to a European Goldfinch Carduelis carduelis show contest in Algiers, to understand the owners’ motives for keeping cage birds and find solutions to mitigate any negative effects on the trade. Keeping and showing finches in Algeria is a male-dominated hobby, especially for the 30–40 year age bracket. Our surveys indicate that almost 60% of households had a cage bird, with the European Goldfinch being the most popular species. With a mean of 0.75 goldfinches per household we estimate that in Guelma alone some 17,000 are kept in captivity. Between 70% and 90% of the owners indicated that their birds were indeed wild-sourced, and over 85% of them were aware of the protected status of the European Goldfinch in Algeria. Our findings underline the need for strict enforcement of existing laws and better targeted awareness campaigns to influence the behaviour of owners in order to reduce the demand for wild specimens.

Abstract. Atlanta V, Ambarwati R, Rahayu DA, Mujiomo N. 2022. Diversity of bivalves on the north coast of Lamongan, East Java, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 23: 4263-4271. Biodiversity in Indonesian waters is very abundant, one of which is bivalves. This study aimed to analyze the diversity, abundance, uniformity and dominance of bivalves, as well as to analyze the habitat profile of bivalves in the North Coast of Lamongan. Bivalves sampling was carried out at Kutang Beach and Joko Moersodo Beach. There were three research stations consisting of three sub-stations on each beach. At each sub-station, it was taken the plot of 5×5 m. Each plot contained five subplots of 1×1 m. The habitat profiles studied were temperature, pH, salinity, and turbidity and the type of substrate. Samples were identified based on morphological characters. The research data obtained were analyzed descriptive qualitatively. The results revealed that the bivalves found in the North Coast of Lamongan included Anadara antiquata, Vasticardium elongatum, Donax faba, Asaphis sp., Gari elongata, Serratina perplexa, Gafrarium pectinatum, Heterocardia gibbosula, Marcia hiantina, Marcia japonica, Marcia opima, Meretrix sp., and Venerupis aspera. The index value of bivalves’ diversity at the North Coast of Lamongan was 1.13-2.201. The habitat profile of the bivalves in the North Coast of Lamongan was as follows: temperature 29.3-31.7ºC, salinity 25-32 ppt, pH 7.59-8.18, turbidity 10.6-17.3 NTU and the dominant type of substrate was sandy mud. Bivalves were more commonly found on beaches with dense mangroves.
