The tube-web spider genus Ariadna Audouin, 1826 has been revised for South Australia and Victoria, revealing a remarkable diversity, particularly centred in the arid north of Australia. We describe 23 species as new, ten which are supported by molecular data, where these were available. recognise two groups some based on combination genitalic morphology, macrosetae patterns somatic characters: ...

The Membracidae are a relatively diverse group with nearly 400 genera and 3200 species. For Colombia 93 genera and 394 species were previously known. Study of the literature and 3744 specimens deposited in ten colections in Colombia, as well as non-systematic collections and field observations done in Colombia between 2011 and 2014, led us to record 116 genera and 474 species grouped in 9 subfa...

As microvarises são pequenos vasos dilatados, situados abaixo da pele dos membros inferiores, com coloração arroxeados e dimensões entre 2 5 mm. Já as telangectasias dilatações de capilares, arterias ou veias menores que 2mm calibre, tem disposição linear sinuosa podendo formar aspetos aracneiforme, emaranhados retiformes. O aparecimento varizes acontece comumente na população estando relaciona...

Microbial growth in buildings may evoke respiratory and other symptoms in the occupants and promote decay of construction materials. The decay in wood is usually caused by dry-rot fungus, leading to the decomposition of cellulose and lignin. There are also some mold fungi and bacteria that can use wood as a nutrient. In this study, two trained dogs were used to detect microbial growth present i...

Hermatypic-zooxanthellate corals track the diel patterns of the main environmental parameters - temperature, UV and visible light - by acclimation processes that include biochemical responses. The diel course of solar radiation is followed by photosynthesis rates and thereby elicits simultaneous changes in tissue oxygen tension due to the shift in photosynthesis/respiration balance. The recurre...

— A new interpretation of the wing venation of the fossil insect order Caloneurodea is proposed. Complex fusions of veins are demonstrated, supporting the assignment of the Caloneurodea to the Panorthoptera, i.e. the order is closely related to the Orthoptera. A new diagnosis of the order is proposed. The following taxa are re-described after new interpretation, material or preparation, or are ...

La naturaleza tiene un papel destacado en el Poblado Dirigido de Fuencarral, enriqueciendo la notable arquitectura concebida por José Luis Romany 1956. El barrio, proyectado arquitecto al comienzo su andadura profesional, refleja bien momento vital, aunar sensibilidad desarrollada estudiando in situ los jardines Granada, con racionalidad, economía o rigor constructivo las viviendas sociales pro...
