AbstractFirst record of the genus Helius—long-rostrum cranefly from Maestrazgo Basin (eastern Spain, Iberian Penisula) is documented. Two new fossil species of the genus Helius are described from Cretaceous Spanish amber and compared with other species of the genus known from fossil record with particular references to these known from Cretaceous period. Helius turolensis sp. nov. is described from San Just amber (Lower Cretaceous, upper Albian) Maestrazgo Basin, eastern Spain, and Helius hispanicus sp. nov. is described from Álava amber (Lower Cretaceous, upper Albian), Basque-Cantabrian Basin, northern Spain. The specific body morphology of representatives of the genus Helius preserved in Spanish amber was discussed in relation to the environmental conditions of the Maestrazgo Basin and Basque-Cantabrian Basin in Cretaceous.

Abstract Physiology places constraints on an animal’s ability to forage and those unable to adapt to changing conditions may face increased challenges to reproduce and survive. As the global marine environment continues to change, small, air-breathing, endothermic marine predators such as otariids (fur seals and sea lions) and particularly females, who are constrained by central place foraging during breeding, may experience increased difficulties in successfully obtaining adequate food resources. We explored whether physiological limits of female otariids may be innately related to body morphology (fur seals vs sea lions) and/or dictate foraging strategies (epipelagic vs mesopelagic or benthic). We conducted a systematic review of the increased body of literature since the original reviews of Costa et al. (When does physiology limit the foraging behaviour of freely diving mammals? Int Congr Ser 2004;1275:359–366) and Arnould and Costa (Sea lions in drag, fur seals incognito: insights from the otariid deviants. In Sea Lions of the World Fairbanks. Alaska Sea Grant College Program, Alaska, USA, pp. 309–324, 2006) on behavioural (dive duration and depth) and physiological (total body oxygen stores and diving metabolic rates) parameters. We estimated calculated aerobic dive limit (cADL—estimated duration of aerobic dives) for species and used simulations to predict the proportion of dives that exceeded the cADL. We tested whether body morphology or foraging strategy was the primary predictor of these behavioural and physiological characteristics. We found that the foraging strategy compared to morphology was a better predictor of most parameters, including whether a species was more likely to exceed their cADL during a dive and the ratio of dive time to cADL. This suggests that benthic and mesopelagic divers are more likely to be foraging at their physiological capacity. For species operating near their physiological capacity (regularly exceeding their cADL), the ability to switch strategies is limited as the cost of foraging deeper and longer is disproportionally high, unless it is accompanied by physiological adaptations. It is proposed that some otariids may not have the ability to switch foraging strategies and so be unable adapt to a changing oceanic ecosystem.

Honour, Shame, and Bodily Mutilation. Cutting off the Nose among Tribal Societies in Pakistan

Bodily mutilations, such as nose-cutting, are recorded worldwide from different cultural settings. Hence the custom is not solely an example of “Oriental violence and cruelty” (at times quoted in Orientalist sources from the colonial period). I want to emphasise that I am not arguing from the vantage point of a colonial discourse with its criticism of “degenerate and barbaric” social customs. Instead, this paper deals with the human body as a symbol of society. It is particularly focused on the symbolic significance of nose-cutting and on understanding this violent impulse as a social practice. The underlying notion is that cultural categories, such as “honour” and “shame”, are encoded in body morphology and affect behaviour.

Se ha cometido una doble injusticia, la primera es la aversión teórica de la academia sobre la inclusión y transmisión de discursos críticos respecto al género; la segunda es la aversión de algunos teóricos en incluir al psicoanálisis como una salida a embrollos políticos respecto del género. El problema se encuentra en un concepto fundamental y controversial de la teoría analítica: el falo. Esto no se debe a una mala lectura de analistas o pensadores de género; la contradicción del falo la hallamos en los textos freudianos y lacanianos: estos van desde el extremo hetero-normativo hasta la emergencia de una elección sexual totalmente alejada a esta (y no por eso patológica). Hay en las confusiones de Freud y Lacan una posibilidad de establecer nuevamente al psicoanálisis como respuesta política a las disputas de género: la invención de nuevas morfologías corporales y topologías de placer. A double injustice has been committed, the first is the theoretical aversion by the academy about the inclusion and transmission of critical discourses related to gender; the second is the aversion of some theorists to include psychoanalysis to resolve political struggles about gender. The problem is in a controversial and fundamental concept of psychoanalytic theory: the phallus. This is not due to a misreading of gender thinkers or psychoanalysts thinkers; the contradiction of the phallus is found in the same Freudian and Lacanian texts: these start from the hetero-normative extreme till the possibility of the emergence of a sexual choice totally away from it (and not necessarily pathological). In the confusions of freudian-lacanian text there is a possibility to set back to psychoanalysis as a possible political response to gender disputes: the invention of new morphologies and topologies of body pleasure.

Four new species of rare scyliorhinid catsharks are provisionally assigned to the genus Parmaturus: P. lanatus sp. nov. from Indonesia, P. albimarginatus sp. nov. and P. albipenis sp. nov. from northern New Caledonia, and P. bigus sp. nov. from northeastern Australia. These species differ from each other by a combination of body morphology, denticle shape, dentition, colour and vertebral counts. An identification key to the Indo–Pacific Parmaturus species is provided. Comments on the diagnostic features separating the genera Halaelurus and Parmaturus are given.
