Species within the genus Gallerucida Motschulsky recorded in Taiwan are revised. Gallerucida bifasciata Motschulsky 1861 G. lutea Gressitt & Kimoto 1963 G. sauteri Chûjô 1938 and G. shirozui Kimoto 1969 are redescribed. Sphenoraia chujoi Lee 2014 is proposed as a junior synonym of G. flaviventris (Baly 1861). Gallerucida thoracica (Jacoby 1888) is recorded as new for Taiwan and redescribed. Lec...

Towards the end of the nineteenth century, quackery of all kinds was on the increase. One of the most notorious of the mountebanks was ‘Sequah’, arguably the arch-prince of charlatans, who first made his appearance in the 1890s. He is described as "the most celebrated medical operator in Britain outside the capital". Sequah started his medical career at Portsmouth in September 1887. In January ...

Using flow cytometric analysis of fluorescence, we measured the genome sizes of 18 cultured ‘‘freeliving’’ species and 29 Symbiodinium spp. isolates cultured from stony corals, gorgonians, anemones, jellyfish, and giant clams. Genome size directly correlated with cell size, as documented previously for most eukaryotic cell lines. Among the smallest of dinoflagellates, Symbiodinium spp. (6–15mm)...

Monitoring programs for harmful algal blooms (HABs) typically rely on time-consuming manual methods for identification and enumeration of phytoplankton, which make it difficult to obtain results with sufficient temporal resolution for early warning. Continuous automated imaging-in-flow by the Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) deployed at Port Aransas, TX has provided early warnings of six HAB events. ...
