Kunz, Tobias Saraiva. "Sistemática filogenética e taxonomia de Xenodon dorbignyi (BIBRON) e espécies relacionadas de serpentes Xenodon Boie (Squamata: Dipsadidae)." reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFRGS, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10183/158283.
Full textAmong the Neotropical snake genus Xenodon, a group including six currently valid species (X. dorbignyi, X. histricus, X. nattereri, X. matogrossensis, X. pulcher and X. semicinctus) is distinguished by the elevated, shovel-like, keeled rostral scale, prolonged posteriorly, separating the internasals. This group of morphologically specialized species, commonly known as the South American hog-nosed snakes, was included until recently in the genus Lystrophis, synonymized with Xenodon based on molecular evidences. Most of these species were involved in some taxonomic confusion due to insufficient descriptions and lack of broad taxonomic revisions. Xenodon matogrossensis, X. pulcher and X. semicinctus present aposematic color patterns, mimetic with some coral snakes of the genus Micrurus, and had long been grouped under X. semicinctus. On the other hand, X. histricus, X. nattereri and X. dorbignyi show a predominantly pale ground color pattern with simple bands or ocelli. These last three species were the focus of this study. The histricus-nattereri complex includes a group of small and rare snakes broadly distributed in open formations from central Argentina to northern Brazil, in transition areas of Cerrado- Caatinga. On the other hand, Xenodon dorbignyi is one of the most common snake species of the Pampas and Chaco. The species polymorphism led to the description of poorly characterized subspecies, but despite the acknowledgement of regional patterns by some authors this taxonomic category is no longer used. The variation in some morphological characters considered to be diagnostic has lead to some misidentifications and even raised questions on the specific boundaries among these taxa. Here, the systematic and taxonomy of these species was analyzed based on a broad geographic revision of the variation of external morphologic characters combined with molecular phylogenetic analysis (mitochondrial and nuclear DNA). The genetic variation of these species’ populations is analyzed for the first time. Regarding the histricus-nattereri complex, molecular data showed that the diversity of X. nattereri in southeastern region of the Cerrado encompasses the morphological variation of X. histricus and reveal an independent lineage at the northern limits of the complex’ distribution, closely related to X. dorbignyi. Despite having no precise typelocality, it is showed that X. nattereri was described based on one specimen with intermediate number of dorsal bands (the main diagnostic character to differentiate both species), a condition found only in specimens from the southeast and western regions of the Cerrado. This region coincides with the precedence of the largest part of the material collected by Johann Natterer (holotype collector). Thus, we propose to maintain X. nattereri as a synonym of X. histricus. The populations from northern Cerrado and transition areas of Cerrado-Caatinga are described as a new species characterized by an extremely low number of dorsal bands. The genetic structure found in the populations of X. dorbignyi shows that the species encompasses two distinct lineages, one restricted to the northeastern extreme of the species distribution, in the coastal plain of the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul (northeast clade), and the other west and south of the first, encompassing most of the distribution (southwest clade). Morphological data, however, failed to diagnose any of the proposed subspecies. The two parapatric genetic lineages are largely isolated by the Patos Lagoon, with a contact zone between them to the south of this lagoon. Although the northeast lineage corresponds greatly to what was morphologically and geographically described as orientalis, the analysis of specimens from the contact zone between the two lineages revealed that all specimens have the characteristic phenotype of the coastal plain populations (cryptic regarding to sandy soils of the region), regardless the genetic lineage, showing that the morphological variation used to characterize the subspecies is not related to independent evolutionary lineages. Most likely, these forms correspond to ecological morphotypes associated with environmental factors. Therefore, the use of the subspecific taxonomic category is not acknowledged for populations of Xenodon dorbignyi.

Full textThe genus Xenodon, together with five other genera, Erythrolamprus, Liophis, Lystrophis, Waglerophis and Umbrivaga, constitutes the tribe Xenodontini Bonaparte 1845. This tribe is included in the subfamily Xenodontinae, a monophyletic group distributed throughout the South American continent. The phylogenetic proximity among Xenodon, Waglerophis, and Lystrophis has already been pointed out by authors. The synonymy of Waglerophis with Xenodon as well as a sister-group relationship between Lystrophis and the latter have already been proposed. The present study offers a phylogenetic analysis of the genus Xenodon, based on a total of 54 morphological characters derived from cephalic miology and osteology and hemipenial morphology. Representatives of other tribes of the subfamily Xenodontinae as well as taxa representing other Xenodontini genera were included in the data matrix as outgroups for the genera Xenodon, Lystrophis and Waglerophis. Additionally, representatives of the genera Farancia, Heterodon, and Hydrodynastes, of uncertain position within the subfamily or included by some authors in the tribe Xenodontini, were also added to the data matrix in order to test their phylogenetic affinities with the latter. The monophyly of the tribe Xenodontini and of the group composed of the genera Xenodon, Lystrophis, and Waglerophis was corroborated. According to the presented results, both genera Waglerophis and Lystrophis are rooted within a polyphyletic genus Xenodon. Three different possibilities of taxonomic rearrangement for the clade composed of these three genera are as follows: 1) to include the three genera under the name Xenodon; 2) to split the genera in four groups, maintaining the names Xenodon and Lystrophis for monophyletic subgroups of the clade and accommodating X. neuwiedii and X. guentherii in new genera; 3) to keep the name Xenodon for a monophyletic subgroup, create a new genus for Xenodon neuwiedii and another for Xenodon guentheri plus Lystrophis.

Full textThis dissertation investigates how Socrates understands his trial. It is a well-known fact that Socrates is accused of impiety and corruption of the young and is subsequently executed. Unlike an ordinary defendant who is supposed to make every effort to be acquitted, Socrates, behaving provocatively, seems even to induce the death penalty. By reading Plato's and Xenophon's works, this dissertation clarifies his thoughts on the trial that must be the basis of his conduct and explains how he achieves his aim. To deal with Socrates' view of the trial as a whole, this study examines three questions. First, does he believe in his own innocence? I argue that before and even at the trial, Socrates does not intend to prove his innocence effectively. He does not reveal his belief clearly, but at least it is clear that to be acquitted is not his primary purpose. Second, what does Socrates want to achieve at the trial? Socrates' primary purpose is to demonstrate his virtue in public. His speech that provocatively emphasizes his excellence as a benefactor of the city enables him to be convicted as a wise and noble man rather than as an impious corrupter of the young. Third, why does he refuse to escape from jail? I argue that by introducing the speech that defends the laws of the city, Socrates makes himself appear to be a supremely law-abiding citizen who is executed even when escape is possible. This study maintains that Socrates vindicates his philosophy before the ordinary people of Athens by making a strong impression of his moral excellence and utility to others. His presentation of philosophy makes it possible that being convicted and executed are compatible with appearing virtuous and being respected. Socrates promotes his posthumous reputation as a great philosopher, and thus secures the life of philosophy after his death by mitigating the popular hostility against him and philosophy as such. Socrates' understanding of his trial leads us to his idea of the nature of philosophy and the city, and of their ideal relationship. This dissertation is therefore an introduction to Socratic political philosophy

Lorch, Benjamin. "Moderation as a Political and Philosophical Virtue in Xenophon’s Memorabilia." Thesis, Boston College, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2345/1952.
Full textThis study of Xenophon’s Memorabilia investigates the famous Socratic thesis that virtue is knowledge. Specifically, it is an attempt to understand the claim that anyone who knows what the right thing is to do, automatically chooses to do it. I concentrate on Socrates’ view of one particular virtue, namely moderation. This is both because moderation is the virtue that Xenophon’s Socrates most often identifies with knowledge, and because it is the virtue that Xenophon associates most closely with Socrates himself. The first part of the dissertation considers whether the thesis that virtue is knowledge is an accurate description of ordinary moral life. The first task is to articulate the ordinary moral outlook. I examine the presentation of this outlook in seven conversations about political ambition in Book Three of the Memorabilia. I conclude that according to Xenophon’s Socrates, the moral outlook is based on two beliefs. One belief concerns the content of the moral law. It is the belief that we are obligated to do good for others, and in the first place to be good citizens and serve our country. The second belief is that morality is good, and the greatest good, for the individual who obeys the moral law, regardless of the apparent sacrifices that it requires. This second belief seems to be the basis for the view that virtue is knowledge: obedience to the moral law is so good that anyone who knew this would automatically obey the law, and anyone who resists obeying it must be ignorant of how good it is. The moral outlook combines these two beliefs. It holds that that what is best for the political community is also best for the individual, or that the law that directs us to do good for others and the law that discloses to us what way of life is best for ourselves are the same law. This belief is so fundamental to the moral life that the question, whether what is good for the individual really coincides with what is good for the community, is not a legitimate question to raise, and it cannot be raised without departing somewhat from the ordinary moral attitude. On the other hand, once the fundamental assumption of moral life comes to light as a mere assumption, it is impossible to avoid investigating it, and to continue to assume that we know what virtue is. Accordingly, the second half of the dissertation attempts to clarify this question, by examining Xenophon’s presentation of the Socratic education in Book Four of the Memorabilia. I argue that this part of the Memorabilia does not assume that virtue is political virtue, and rather shows how Socrates investigated what virtue is without this prior assumption. The last part of the dissertation is a preliminary effort to follow Socrates’ investigation of this question

The interaction of low energy XeF2 with Si(100)2x1 has been investigated by studying both the surface-bound and gas-phase products of the reaction. Helium atom diffraction, beam-surface scattering and thermal desorption measurements are the major techniques used to probe the surface-bound products of the reaction. It is found that XeF2 dissociatively chemisorbs with high probability solely on the Si dangling bonds up to a coverage of about one monolayer (ML). Molecular fluorine has previously been observed to react similarly, saturating the dangling bonds at 1 ML coverage. The thermal desorption products and kinetics from the fluorinated layer produced by XeF2 exposure are identical to that produced by F2 exposure. The interactions of XeF2 and F2 are also strikingly similar with respect to the order of the Si surface up to about 1 ML coverage. The surface order is monitored by He diffraction detected by a line-of-sight, differentially pumped mass spectrometer. In both systems, the diffracted He beams exhibit a sharp decrease in intensity due to the disorder produced by the fluorination of random surface unit cells as the coverage increases from zero to about 0.3 ML. The intensity then increases until the fluorine overlayer has fully recovered its 2x 1 periodicity at about 1 ML. This recovery corresponds to the decoration of each Si dangling bond with a fluorine atom. A critical observation of this study is that despite the large exothermicity of the dissociative chemisorption of XeF2 or F2, which is approximately 230-250 kcal/mol, the order of the surface is not destroyed in either system. After saturation of the dangling bonds, F2 ceases to react with the surface while XeF2 continues to deposit fluorine by reacting with the Si-Si a dimer bonds and the Si-Si lattice bonds.
(cont.) The order is destroyed as a result of the continued fluorine deposition and ultimately etching occurs by the formation of volatile SiF4. The gas-phase products of the reaction are studied using the time-of-flight (TOF) technique. The translational excitation of XeF from single atom abstraction is observed to be only a small fraction of the reaction exothermicity, implying that the abstraction reaction can be described by a potential energy surface with a transition state in the entrance channel. Furthermore, the angular distribution of the XeF becomes peaked towards normal on a fluorinated surface, suggesting that the combined influence of molecular steering and steric hinderance serve to align the XeF2 into a more favorable perpendicular orientation prior to the reaction. The observation of reactively scattered F atoms indicates that some of the XeF from atom abstraction dissociates to produce a F atom and a Xe atom. This dissociation is modeled using the conservation of energy and momentum to predict the trajectory of the scattered F and Xe atoms from the gas-phase dissociation of XeF in a forward convolution calculation that takes into account the initial velocity, scattering angle, orientation and energy distributions of the XeF prior to dissociation. The calculation successfully predicts the observed F and Xe atom TOF distributions at all angles and coverages. ...
