Diogenes Nitidimanus

A redescription of adult and larval stages of diogenid hermit crab Diogenes nitidimanus Terao, 1913 is presented. Morphological similarities suggest that D. nitidimanus is allied to D. avarus Heller, 1865, D. granulatus Miers, 1880, D. ovatus Miers, 1881, D. pugilator (Roux, 1838) and D. rectimanus Miers, 1884. Diogenes nitidimanus can be distinguished from the latter four species by different armature or ornamentation of the left chela and/or the shape of the ambulatory dactyli. Zoeal and megalopal stages of this species are described from laboratory-reared material hatched from parental individuals collected from Peter the Great Bay, Russian Far East. Larval development in the Russian population is compared with that described for a population of this species from southern Japan. The developmental morphology between the two populations is generally similar, but some minor differences, which might be attributable to variability, are found. Larvae of D. nitidimanus are morphologically closest to those of D. avarus among eight species of Diogenes for which larval descriptions are available.

Near Future

With the growing insurrections in Syria in 2011, an exodus in large numbers have emerged. The turmoil and violence have caused mass migration to destinations both within the region and beyond. The current "refugee crisis" has escalated sharply and its impact is widening from neighbouring countries toward Europe. Today, the Syrian crisis is the major cause for an increase in displacement and the resultant dire humanitarian situation in the region. Since the conflict shows no signs of abating in the near future, there is a constant increase in the number of Syrians fleeing their homes. However, questions on the future impact of the Syrian crisis on the scope and scale of this human mobility are still to be answered. As the impact of the Syrian crisis on host countries increases, so does the demand for the analyses of the needs for development and protection in these countries. In this special issue, we aim to bring together a number of studies examining and discussing human mobility in relation to the Syrian crisis.

Modern Hebrew

In the late 1950s, Iraqi Jews were either forced or chose to leave Iraq for Israel. Finding it impossible to continue writing in Arabic in Israel, many Iraqi Jewish novelists faced the literary challenge of switching to Hebrew. Focusing on the literary works of the writers Shimon Ballas, Sami Michael and Eli Amir, this book examines their use of their native Iraqi Arabic in their Hebrew works. It examines the influence of Arabic language and culture and explores questions of language, place and belonging from the perspective of sociolinguistics and multilingualism. In addition, the book applies stylistics as a framework to investigate the range of linguistic phenomena that can be found in these exophonic texts, such as code-switching, borrowing, language and translation strategies. This new stylistic framework for analysing exophonic texts offers a future model for the study of other languages. The social and political implications of this dilemma, as it finds expression in creative writing, are also manifold. In an age of mass migration and population displacement, the conflicted loyalties explored in this book through the prism of Arabic and Hebrew are relevant in a range of linguistic contexts.
