Distribution Record

The blind hypogean asellid Salmasellus steganothrix Bowman (Crustacea: Isopoda) is reported from a cave spring located on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada. This is the only known aquatic isopod from Alberta and represents an extraordinary range extension for North American hypogean isopods. Water temperatures of the spring are almost constant, near 7 °C, for about 9 months of the year, but fluctuate because of snow melt in May, June, and July. Dissolved oxygen is often less than 1 mg/1 during the winter, and the isopod has not been collected from December through May, even though the spring is sampled at about monthly intervals. The distribution record is considered to be evidence supporting the existence of unglaciated low-elevation refugia on the eastern side of the Canadian Rocky Mountains during Wisconsin time.

Purpose The original Connected Speech Test (CST; Cox et al., 1987) is a well-regarded and often utilized speech perception test. The aim of this study was to develop a new version of the CST using a neutral North American accent and to assess the use of this updated CST on participants with normal hearing. Method A female English speaker was recruited to read the original CST passages, which were recorded as the new CST stimuli. A study was designed to assess the newly recorded CST passages' equivalence and conduct normalization. The study included 19 Western University students (11 females and eight males) with normal hearing and with English as a first language. Results Raw scores for the 48 tested passages were converted to rationalized arcsine units, and average passage scores more than 1 rationalized arcsine unit standard deviation from the mean were excluded. The internal reliability of the 32 remaining passages was assessed, and the two-way random effects intraclass correlation was .944. Conclusion The aim of our study was to create new CST stimuli with a more general North American accent in order to minimize accent effects on the speech perception scores. The study resulted in 32 passages of equivalent difficulty for listeners with normal hearing.
