[EN] The Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC), dictionary of Medieval Latin from the territories corresponding to the linguistic area of the Catalan from ninth to twelfth centuries, is realised under the project «Medieval Latin Dictionnary(ies)» of the International Union of Academies (IUA). The developers of the GMLC have the scientific purpose of providing specialised researchers, as well as anyone interested in the Middle Ages, a tool that makes understandable the Latin notarial documentation and the Latin literary, legal and scientific texts produced in the mentioned territories and centuries. All these acts and texts are the written testimony not only of the Medieval Latin language but also of the emerging Romance language, in this case, the Catalan. The GMLC team divides and shares their functions between two lines of work, inseparable and complementary: the first line consists of the preparation, development and updating of glossary articles itself; in the second line of work, the texts used as raw material for writing lexicographical items are digitised, processed, marked and re-edited and published by the lexical database Corpus Documentale Latinum Cataloniae (CODOLCAT). These two lines of work evolve towards a common ultimate goal: the online digital and open access publication of the GMLC. [ES] El proyecto del Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC), inscrito dentro del objetivo de elaboración de un diccionario europeo de latín medieval, bajo los auspicios de la Unión Académica Internacional (UAI), tiene como finalidad poner al alcance del público, especializado o no, los instrumentos necesarios para la adecuada interpretación de los textos latinos producidos, entre los siglos IX y XII, en los territorios correspondientes al dominio lingüístico del catalán, textos que son el testimonio del uso de una lengua, la latina, expresión del lenguaje jurídico, eclesiástico e institucional medieval, y que, al mismo tiempo, permiten constatar la existencia de una incipiente lengua románica, el catalán. Para conseguir tal objetivo, en el proyecto conviven dos líneas de trabajo e investigación, complementarias e indisociables: por un lado, la de preparación y redacción de los propios artículos lexicográficos del GMLC; por otro lado, la de edición y publicación digital de los textos de los que se parte para la redacción del GMLC, la base de datos léxica Corpus Documentale Latinum Cataloniae (CODOLCAT). Ambas líneas confluyen en la publicación digital en línea y en acceso abierto del GMLC. [CAT] Inscrit dins l’objectiu d’elaboració d’un diccionari europeu de llatí medieval, sota els auspicis de la Unió Acadèmica Internacional (UAI), el projecte del Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC) té com a finalitat posar a l’abast del públic (investigadors especialitzats o persones interessades, en general) els instruments necessaris per a la bona interpretació dels textos llatins produïts entre els segles IX i XII en els territoris corresponents al domini lingüístic del català, textos que són testimoni de l’ús d’una llengua, la llatina, com a expressió del llenguatge jurídic, eclesiàstic i institucional medievals, i que permeten constatar, alhora, l’existència d’una incipient llengua romànica, el català. La consecució d’aquest objectiu s’articula al voltant de dues línies de treball, complementàries i indissociables: d’una banda, la preparació i la redacció dels articles que conformen el propi glossari; d’altra, l’edició i publicació digital dels textos que serveixen com a punt del partida per a la redacció del GMLC, a través de la base de dades lèxica Corpus Documentale Latinum Cataloniae (CODOLCAT). Totes dues conflueixen en la publicació digital in línia i en accés obert del GMLC. [FR] Le Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC), dictionnaire du latin médiéval des territoires correspondant au domaine linguistique du catalan entre le IXe et le XIIe siècle, s’inscrit au sein du projet d’élaboration d’un dictionnaire européen de latin médiéval, sous les auspices de l’Union Académique Internationale (UAI). Les responsables du GMLC ont le but scientifique de fournir aux chercheurs spécialisés, ainsi qu’à toute personne intéressée par le Moyen Âge, un outil qui rende compréhensible la documentation notariale et les textes littéraires, juridiques et scientifiques latins produits dans les lieux et l’époque cités, textes qui sont le témoignage écrit non seulement de la langue latine médiévale, mais aussi de la langue romane naissante, concrètement le catalan. Les membres de l’équipe du GMLC divisent et partagent leurs fonctions entre deux lignes de travail, indissociables et complémentaires : celle de préparation, rédaction et mise à jour des articles du glossaire lui-même ; et celle de numérisation des textes utilisés comme matière première pour l’écriture des articles lexicographiques, réédition de ces textes et publication numérique de la base de données lexicale Corpus Documentale Latinum Cataloniae (CODOLCAT). Ces deux lignes ont évolué vers un objectif ultime commun : la publication numérique, en ligne et en accès libre du GMLC., Peer reviewed

5 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, Proteome changes in the longissimus thoracis bovine muscle in response to pre-slaughter stress were assessed on the basis of two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) data. In this study, the bootstrap resampling statistical technique and a new measure of relative change of the volume of 2-DE protein spots are shown to be more efficient than commonly used statistics to reliably quantify changes in protein abundance in stress response. The data are supplied in this article and are related to “Tackling proteome changes in the longissimus thoracis bovine muscle in response to pre-slaughter stress” by Franco et al., Peer reviewed

[Background] We compiled a database of firefly species records from the Atlantic Forest hotspot in Brazil and made it available at GBIF. Data were gathered from literature and from several key entomological collections, including: Coleção entomológica Prof. José Alfredo Pinheiro Dutra (DZRJ/UFRJ) and Coleção do Laboratório de Ecologia de Insetos from Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (CLEI/UFRJ); Coleção Entomológica do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz (CEIOC); Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP); Coleção Entomológica Pe. Jesus Santiago Moure from Universidade Federal do Paraná (DZUP/ UFPR); and Coleção Entomológica from Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE). This database represents the largest contribution to a public repository of recorded occurrences from Neotropical fireflies., [New information] This dataset shows the occurrence and abundance of firefly species in the Atlantic Forest hotspot. Firefly species endemic to this biome are also present and considered in the study. These data can assist scientific and societal needs, by supporting future research projects and conservation decision-making., Permission to undertake research in the protected areas mentioned in this paper was granted by the Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade, Ministério do Meio Ambiente, Brazil.

This dataset contains the number and width of increments found in the RSS of the 10 M. longimana’s lower beaks used in this study. Further information related with the studied beaks such as beak measurements, origin and sample date can be found in the published article., In this work we used upper and lower beaks of Moroteuthopsis longimana collected from the diet of Antarctic toothfish Dissostichus mawsoni from the Pacific (Ross and Amundsen Seas) and Atlantic (South Sandwich Islands) sectors of the Southern Ocean to study the feasibility of using beaks collected from predators’ stomachs to study the age of Southern Ocean oceanic squid and to estimate the age and growth patterns of M. longimana. We analysed the presence of micro-increments in the rostrum sagittal section (RSS) and the lateral wall of both upper and lower beaks. Lower beak’s RSS was the only section where it is possible to observe and count a readable sequence of increments that allowed to estimate the age of oceanic squid using beaks collected from predators’ stomachs., This work was supported by the strategic program of Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre (MARE), financed by the FCT (UIDB/704292/2020).
