We consider two classes of birational maps, or birational difference equations, that have structural properties defined by algebraic relations. The properties are possession of a rational integral and having a discrete time-reversal symmetry. We then consider how these algebraic structures constrain the distribution of orbit lengths of such maps when they are reduced over finite fields, giving ...

A new ascothoracidan species, Gorgonolaureus bicornutus sp. nov., has been discovered off south-eastern Taiwan at a depth of 227 m. Five females were found in permanent cysts on the branches of a plexaurid octocoralian alcyonacean (former "gorgonian"), Echinogorgia sp. These specimens are assigned to the genus Gorgonolaureus on account of their having an enlarged and inflated carapace with a lo...
