My dear Foster Her Majesty's sanction has been obtained. The G.O.M. is not murdered – only 'fillipped with a three man beetle' as the fat knight has it. 1 Strong language is my aversion – especially about an adversary – but if I have not shown the G.O.M. to be a lying, ignorant, pretentious humbug, 'call me horse' – as again the fat knight saith. 2 Ever yours T.

The Polish logician Roman Suszko has extensively pleaded in the 1970s for a restatement of the notion of many-valuedness. According to him, as he would often repeat, “there are but two logical values, true and false.” As a matter of fact, a result by Wójcicki-Lindenbaum shows that any tarskian logic has a many-valued semantics, and results by Suszko-da Costa-Scott show that any many-valued sema...

Mosquito surveys are time-consuming, expensive and can provide a biased spatial sample of occurrence data—the data often representing the location surveys, not mosquitoes. We present HumBug project, an acoustic system that turn any Android smartphone into mosquito sensor. Our sensor has potential to significantly increase quantity as well access locations more difficult survey by traditional me...

The ability of two common, site-attached coral-reef fishes to return to their home corals after displacement was investigated in a series of field experiments at One Tree Island, southern Great Barrier Reef. The humbug Dascyllus aruanus was displaced up to 250 m, with 42% of individuals returning home, irrespective of body size, displacement, direction (up or across currents) and route complexi...

The damselfish genus Dascyllus comprises nine species of both largeand small-bodied fishes distributed over the entire Indo-West Pacific. Most members of the genus have polygynous mating systems with protogynous sex change, while others are promiscuous with no sex change. Hypotheses linking presumed phylogenetic relationships with body size, sex change and mating structure have been proposed pr...
