“…12B) is in disagreement with palaeodistribution models that recognize the Venezuelan Llanos as the biogeographical counterpart of the Cerrado in South America (Werneck et al, 2012). Further, floristic evidence associates the Chaco with more meridional biogeographic regions, including temperate dry formations such as the Monte (Pennington et al, 2004;Roig-Junent et al, 2006;Roig et al, 2009). Werneck (2011) appropriately noted that the Chaco fauna has been often described as widely distributed over other South American regions, and show only moderate diversity and endemism levels, possibly as a consequence of its central location and accessibility.…”

In this study we describe Tropidurus azurduyae, a new species of lizard endemic to the Andes. This species is restricted to inter-Andean dry valleys of central and southern Bolivia, within the ecoregion known as Bolivian Montane Dry Forests. It is currently known from the departments of Chuquisaca, Cochabamba, Potosí, and Santa Cruz, where it ranges in elevation from about 1000 to 2800 m. In addition, our analyses of closely related populations of Tropidurus from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Paraguay revealed undescribed species in central and northeastern Brazil and eastern Bolivia that render T. etheridgei Cei, 1982, paraphyletic. These results underscore the need for a comprehensive revision of peripheral and disjunct populations currently assigned to widely distributed species of Tropidurus. The phylogenetic relationships and distribution patterns of these new taxa concur with recent findings supporting seasonally dry tropical forests and open formations of dry vegetation from South America as distinct biotic units. Furthermore, they offer no support for seasonally dry tropical forests as closely related areas. In line with these discoveries, we refute biogeographic scenarios based exclusively on vicariance to explain the biogeographic history of Tropidurus.

Residual insecticide spraying still is the main tool used to suppress house infestations with Chagas disease vectors. While manual compression sprayers (MCS) have traditionally been used in Latin America, Mendoza's vector control program from Argentina introduced the use of a modified motorized vehicle-mounted sprayer (VMS) with apparent advantages over MCS. We conducted a randomized intervention trial to evaluate the effectiveness and selected components of the performance of MCS and VMS. We assessed house infestation by Triatoma infestans in 76 previously-infested houses at 0, 1, 4 and 12 months postintervention. Infestations were reduced substantially, with no significant differences between treatments. End-point infestations were restricted to peridomiciles. Although VMS required less time to complete the house spraying than MCS, both treatments had similar performance and did not suppress infestations completely. The main relative advantages of VMS were a reduced physical effort, especially under harsh field conditions, and potential gains in spray coverage per unit of time.

“…Como han demostrado las excavaciones en extensión más recientes (ROIG, 2009), estos espacios funerarios se deben vincular a los propios asentamientos de donde provienen los individuos muertos. Y en el territorio de Tarragona hay documentadas diversas necrópolis 48 que se han datado, la mayoría de manera prácti-camente arbitraria, en un ambiguo "periodo tardoromano o tardoantiguo".…”

“…Ahora bien, estos nuevos elementos introducidos no modificarían sustancialmente la organización territorial previa ni la materialidad de los asentamientos, como mínimo hasta finales de siglo, o ya en el siglo IX. Los datos arqueológicos actuales nos permiten observar como las dinámicas de cambio son mucho más lentas que ciertos aspectos institucionales, de forma que para el siglo VIII no observamos grandes transformaciones en los yacimientos arqueológicos, como se puede comprobar tanto en el centro peninsular (VIGIL-ESCALERA, 2007), como en un territorio cercano al tarraconense como es el Vallès (ROIG, 2009;ROIG & COLL, 2011a). Unas transformaciones en el ámbito rural que al final de este proceso; es decir, a finales del siglo VIII o inicios del IX, serán más que notables.…”

Con la conquista islámica de la Península Ibérica y la formación de al-Andalus, las diversas regiones conocieron distintos destinos: algunas aristocracias pactaron con los conquistadores, otras se vieron sometidas por la fuerza. Pero la tradición historiográfica ha visto en la ciudad de Tarragona una excepción, un caso aislado. El objetivo de este artículo es plantear una nueva hipótesis, según la cual, durante todo el siglo VIII, madinat Tarrakuna formó parte del Estado andalusí de la misma forma que otras antiguas sedes episcopales visigodas.Palabras clave: Tarragona, conquista, al-Andalus, Arqueología, Toponimia ABSTRACTAt the beginning of the 8 th century, the ancient regnum gothorum seemed to be fragmented in several political territories, as the coexistence of two different kings (Roderick and Akhila) within the years 710-711 would show. As a consequence of the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and the formation of al-Andalus, those regions would suffer different fates: some would come to an agreement with the conquerors, some would be subdued by force; but traditional historiography has seen an exception in Tarragona. The aim of this paper is to present a new hypothesis, according to which madinat Tarrakuna would be part of the Andalusinian State during the 8 th century, just as the rest of the Wisigothic sees did.
