Gate Church of the Trinity, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra | Short description | The Gate Church of the Trinity () is a historic church of the cave monastery of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine. Originally being built as in the church style of Kievan Rus', the Gate Church of the Trinity is now decorated in the Ukrainian Baroque style, having been reconstructed many times through its history. |
Gate Church of the Trinity, Kyiv Pechersk Lavra | History | History
The Gate Church of the Trinity was built in 1106-1108, as part of the Pechersk Lavra fortification, atop the main entrance to the monastery. The church was founded by the grandson of the Prince of Chernigov, Sviatoslav II, who renounced his princely status and became a Pechersk monk on November 17, 1106 under the name of Mykola Sviatosha. Mykola spent 36 years as a monk, and founded the Monastery Hospital of the Trinity within the Lavra.
After destruction of the Dormition Cathedral during the Mongol invasion of 1240, it became the main church of the monastery. In 1462, the most complete edition of the Kiev Pechersk Paterikcon was written here.The book is a collection of tales about the monks of the Kiev Pechersk Lavra. In 1631, Petro Mohyla founded a school at the monastery's hospital. The school was later merged with the Kyivan Brotherhood School. Since 1701, the combined schools became a Kyivan Academy.
The church was studied by P. Lashkarev, I. Morgilevsky, Y. Aseev, F. Umantsev and S. Kilesso. In 1957-1958, their restoration efforts included replacing lost decorations, gilding the dome, and retouching external oil paintings. |

The church is located atop the Holy Gates (), the main entrance to the monastery. Near the entrance are rooms for the gate's guards. The church is wedged between monastery walls, helping to protect the gates. The monastery walls, covered in frescoes, were renewed in 1900-1901 by D. Sonin and others.
The Gate Church of the Trinity is divided into three naves, each containing a spherical apse off the western side. An external stone stairway leads to the church.The apses can only be seen from the centre of the church, because the exteriour walls are flat. Several narrow window openings and the overall visually uplifting effect create a heightened sense of spiritual power.
The church is a typical Kievan Rus' construction built on an ancient stone church. Kievan Rus' architectural motifs can still be seen on the southern façade. The church retained its Ukrainian Baroque exteriour after restoration in the 17th-18th centuries by Master V. Stefanovych. During restoration, a new cupola was erected and interior paintings were added.
In 1725, a large sixteen-candle chandelier was installed. During the 1730s-1740s, artists from the monastery's iconography workshop decorated the church's interiour. The church's frescoes were based on Biblical scenes, and the exterior decor was based on Ukrainian folklore. Eighteenth-century compositions by F. Pavlovskyi, I. Maksimovych and A. Galik (with help from M. Yakubovych and I. Kadelskyi) have been preserved to this day, including "Faces of the Holy Martyr," "The Traders Cast Out of the Temple" and "The Council of Nicaea." The names of the painters were unknown for many years and only recently were revealed after archival research.
Interiour frescoes are a unique collection of 18th-century traditional Ukrainian architecture. Allegorical and historical Biblical topics are given in a noncanonical way; some include Ukrainian national ornaments. Carved wooden chairs, painted in Ukrainian folk tradition, are installed along the western wall. |

Paget Gorman Sign System | The | The Paget Gorman Sign System, also known as Paget Gorman Signed Speech (PGSS) or Paget Gorman Systematic Sign Language is a manually coded form of the English language, designed to be used with children with speech or communication difficulties. |
Paget Gorman Sign System | Development | Development
PGSS was originally developed in Britain by anthropologist Sir Richard Paget in the 1930s, Robert Pardoe and later by his wife Lady Grace Paget and Dr Pierre Gorman. The system is founded on the notion that the original form of all speech is sign language and it has developed to the point that it features its own grammatical sign system. It has been distinguished when it was first proposed due to the way it introduced a degree of arbitrariness. It is also based on a classificatory system and uses 37 basic signs and 21 standard hand postures, which can be combined to represent a large vocabulary of English words, including word endings and verb tenses.
The system was widespread in Deaf schools in the UK from the 1960s to the 1980s, but since the emergence of British Sign Language and the BSL-based Signed English in deaf education, its use is now largely restricted to the field of speech and language disorder and is available if the learner has attended a course of instruction. |

Delete. Wikipedia is not Wikinews nor Wikisportsrosters. While lists are not required to be on topics whose contents never change, those which aren't both readily maintainable and of some long-term significance are usually deleted. This list has no sources shown. I have trouble supporting even the similar list of NHL captains, and that's the major league of hockey. For the OHL, when a team changes captains, it will typically be reported only in the local newspaper and on the team's website. That's not multiple independent reliable sources. (I come from a city with a team in the AHL, the most important minor professional league feeding to the NHL, and even the local paper gives nontrivial coverage only once a year to the captaincy.) This information belongs in the articles on the teams and on the notable players as "2006-2007 captain", not "current captain". If someone really wants to see a "current" list, they can use team and league websites, and WP does not need to contain less-up-to-date information. Barno 02:00, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Notre Dame High School (St. Louis County, Missouri) | Short description | Notre Dame High School is a Roman Catholic, private, all-girls school located in Lemay, St. Louis County, Missouri.The school is not in the St. Louis city limits. Compare the address to the map: just south of St. Louis city, on the 43-acre grounds of the motherhouse of the School Sisters of Notre Dame on the Mississippi River. While its roots go back to 1897, its present form and name date to 1934. |
Notre Dame High School (St. Louis County, Missouri) | History | History
In 1897 the School Sisters of Notre Dame founded Sancta Maria in Ripa (translation: Saint Mary on the Bank) High School so that girls who were considering joining their congregation could complete their high school education. This was at their motherhouse just south of the city of St. Louis.
In 1925, Sancta Maria was accredited by the North Central Association as a four-year high school. In 1934 it extended its services to those not aspiring to be religious sisters, and changed its name to Notre Dame High School. Classes were held in the motherhouse until 1955 when the current school was built.
Around 1960 enrollment exceeded 500 young ladies. Innovations included advanced college credit courses, more electives, and modular scheduling. In 1977 with the closing of Notre Dame College on campus the high school acquired that building to house its science, fine arts, and counseling departments. In 1996 the high school became a part of the newly formed Notre Dame Ministry Corporation.
The high school has over 7,500 alumnae in 46 states and 8 countries, and one in seven faculty members are the Sisters. All of its graduates pursue higher education. |
Notre Dame High School (St. Louis County, Missouri) | Activities | Activities
Activity groups include: Student Council, Theater, Rebel Writers, A Cappella Group, and clubs for art, for science, for internet, and for Chinese. For outreach there are the Earth Club, Shalom Club, Library Guild, and Harry Potter Club. There are also the National, Hispanic, and Journalism Honor Societies.
The school sponsors 13 sports: basketball, softball, soccer, track, field hockey, cross country, golf, tennis, volleyball, swimming, racquetball, cheerleading, and lacrosse. Excelling in soccer, its goalkeeper was named best in the state in 2016. It also has a competitive cheerleading group. |

First Responders (The Unit) | Use American English | "First Responders" is the pilot episode of the American drama series The Unit. It originally aired on CBS on March 7, 2006. |
First Responders (The Unit) | Plot | Plot
The episode opens with The Unit assault team leader Jonas Blane and teammates Mack Gerhardt, Charles Grey and Hector Williams as they complete a mission involving destroying a factory in Afghanistan. At the end of the opening segment, the group escapes. Blane brings Bob Brown, the newest member of the unit, to meet Ron Cheals, a former member of the unit. Jonas describes Cheals as having gone from being "the best shot in the unit to the best gunsmith in the world." It is implied that Cheals' injury, as evidenced by his use of a wheelchair, was the reason for the end of his service with the Unit. At Blane's request, Cheals gives Brown a suppressed M2K handgun. While they are meeting with Cheals, a TV news report comes on, indicating that a business jet has been hijacked by terrorists in Idaho. Cheals supplies Blane and Brown with weapons and equipment. The team, minus Gerhardt, who is on another assignment, deploy for the operation.
While watching footage of National Guardsmen approaching the plane and subsequently being killed, Jonas notices that although the Guardsmen approach the plane from an angle such that no-one on the plane should be able to see them, the terrorists are nonetheless alerted to their presence. He concludes that the terrorist have a spotter, watching the scene from a hidden location in the nearby woods, and informing the terrorists when someone approaches. He sends Brown in to neutralize the spotter, which Brown does successfully.
Jonas and the team secure the area and breach the plane. Blane kills all the hostiles on board and detaches the bomb detonator. The team returns home and Bob discovers that his wife Kim Brown (who was adjusting to the shock of learning that her husband is part of the team trying to rescue the airline hostages through part of the episode) is pregnant with his second child. Due to the effects of combat stress, Jonas accidentally discharges his weapon in his home. It is revealed that Tiffany Gerhardt, Mack's wife, is having an affair with the Unit's commanding officer, Colonel Tom Ryan. |
First Responders (The Unit) | Production | Production
The program was created by David Mamet to feature both the domestic lives of the team members and their missions abroad, in addition to the effects their careers have on their home lives, wives, and girlfriends. It premiered in the United States on March 7, 2006, on CBS as a midseason replacement. |

Later-no-harm criterion

Non-notable voting method criterion which, other than the wikipedia article, can only be found here: , which is the website of a voting methods discussion list, based on this article here: on the internet. Fahrenheit451 03:39, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Plurality criterion, resolvability criterion, and participation criterion all seem to be closely related with the nominated article. As I personally have no knowledge of the subject, should these articles be nominated for deletion too?--TBCΦtalk? 08:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. These appear to be articles that have to do with the mathematics of voting, which is the subject of a good deal of interest. I'd be inclined to refer this matter to an expert on these topics; there may be a better name for this, and it lacks context and is not clearly written. I am not convinced yet that these articles are original research and they pass my own "smell" test. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment: A Google search on this term shows it is in use, but most hits are from Electorama/ElectoWiki or from Wikipedia mirrors or from a personal website. I'll also note that two years ago, we had to clear out a lot of unsupported election-theory articles that were little more than original research. Later-no-harm appears to be in circulation among a small circle of, uh, election-theory hobbyists, but so far I'm not aware of it having had any influence on the real world, or even of being covered nontrivially in multiple reliable sources. This counts more under WP policy than anyone's smell test. I'll defer to anyone who can provide better-sourced information, but currently I'd favor a merge into an article on election systems and criteria used to evaluate them. Barno 01:30, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment: I would support a merge as well. It is simply not notable enough for an article of its own.--Fahrenheit451 04:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment - There seem to be a series of articles in this vein - Plurality criterion, Resolvability criterion, and possibly more. (hey, beaten!) This seems highly similar to what's described in Voting paradox, and, moreso, Condorcet method. I still haven't compared enough to determine whether or not this article is notable on its own, or merely a rehashed retelling of prior, more notable methods (see this AfD for a similar occurance). --Action Jackson IV 06:27, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete or just possibly Merge. We can't have articles on every concept that has ever appeared in a book. There is no evidence of notability and it's too thin for an article on its own. NBeale 06:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep. A well known term in the field of mathematics/voting. Wikipedia should be attempting to be comprehensive, and it won’t do this by deleting articles like this. SmokeyJoe 01:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment - This is Not a well-known term in the filed of mathematics/voting at all and cannot be verified as such. I think a merge makes more sense.--Fahrenheit451 23:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, I don’t really know how “well” known it is, it depends on how widely one reads, but it is certainly known. I learnt about it many years ago, as part of the many paradoxes of voting systems. It is related to monotonicity, is attributed to Douglas Woodall, Reader in Pure Mathematics at Nottingham University, UK (see ), and is described in many publications, including popular mathematical/voting books. It is reliably sourced, and is in frequent use. By what definition do you mean "non-notable"? SmokeyJoe 00:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Which popular books is it sourced in? I know of none.--Fahrenheit451 05:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I may be able to find the book if you really want. By “popular”, I mean “aimed at the general reader”.---(unsigned by SmokeyJoe)
O.K. Please name one such book.--Fahrenheit451 16:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
More to the point, I ask you to explain why you think the criterion is “non-notable”, what you mean by “non-notable”, and why you believe that “non-notable” is a criterion for deletion.---(unsigned by SmokeyJoe)
There is only one source of the criteria and there is no evidence of the reliability of that source. I suggest you read WP:N to answer your last question.--Fahrenheit451 16:26, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
When I google “Later no harm” I get multiple responses, excluding wikis. I see no basis for an argument that “Voting Matters” is not a reliable secondary source, or that it is not independent of Woodall? (perhaps there is one, but it hasn’t been made yet) The many other incidental references demonstrate that the subject is in widespread use.---(unsigned by SmokeyJoe)
You are getting responses from the three words. I think you know that.--Fahrenheit451 02:37, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
From: Wikipedia:Notability “Deletion A topic can fail to satisfy the criteria because there are insufficient published works from reliable sources that are independent of the subject.5 Without such sources, a proper encyclopedia article cannot be built at all.” I guess that you are relying on this. It looks already like a respectable article, it relates directly to a voting system in use, has potential to be expanded, and is clearly not a product of original research. SmokeyJoe 01:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
I found the following interesting: “However, such protest votes have an unpredictable effect on an election outcome as IRV fails to comply with any established election method criteria.” . “Later-no-harm” is an established election method criteria with which IRV complies. Your contribution was POV, original research and reveals a distaste for IRV or the “later-no-harm” criterion and I suggest that you have a conflict of interest in nominating this article for deletion. For what purpose, I have no idea. I believe that your reasoning is another example of an abuse of the ill-defined, non-policy WP:N. SmokeyJoe 06:57, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
SmokeyJoey, I advise you to keep your discussion civil and not make presumptions about my motives. IRV satisfies the majority criterion and with a random ballot tie-breaking method, independence of clones, both established criteria. You seem to ignore the possibility that I could have been in error as I had only been editing wikipedia for three weeks when I wrote that edit. Instead you assume I was editing in bad faith. I believe you are violating the wikipedia policy of assuming good faith and advise you to follow it.--Fahrenheit451 16:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
In all seriousness, I am boldly questioning your motive. I feel the need to be bold because this is not a place for a relaxed considered discussion – you are seeking to have (on March 13) the article obliterated from wikipedia, all content, history and discussions. I am curious about your motive because I cannot understand why you want to delete. “Non-notable” really doesn’t explain it. The subject has been noted in many places. As evidence for an ulterior motive, to justify the raising of the question, I offer your assertion (albeit long ago), found largely by chance, that the subject “later-no-harm” doesn’t exist. SmokeyJoe 01:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
No, you are being uncivil. Save your boldness for editing. Again, I advise you to assume good faith. If you assume an ulterior motive and wish to be argumentative, then I am not taking the bait. We have a civil discussion where good faith is assumed, or this stuff from you ends right here.--Fahrenheit451 02:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
By the way, SmokeyJoe, what is the title of the "popular" book you stated mentioned Later-no-harm. If it really does not exist, please be honest and admit it.--Fahrenheit451 02:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep or merge; an article in a mathematics journal (Discrete Applied Mathematics #77) is plenty to satisfy WP:V and WP:N, so the remaining question is whether the organization of these concepts make more sense as individual articles or sections of an article like mathematical criteria for voting systems. This needn't be decided on AFD. — brighterorange (talk) 17:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep or merge seems very useful to me, its part of the math of voting. WilliamKF 23:59, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep, then merge. I agree that merging the content would be optimal, but think it should be left to editors who are well-versed in election theory and voting mechanisms. So, I recommend keeping and tagging the article with "mergeto". -- Black Falcon 08:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep. As with most voting system criteria, it ultimately comes down to personal opinion whether the criterion is useful; but commenters above have shown that it's attributable, and that is sufficient to keep the article. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 05:36, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep per this search. Addhoc 22:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Delete because I can't find enough attributable information to make an encyclopedic article. Sancho (talk) 09:11, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
I have been trying to get reliable independent info about Jack M Oliphant and have been unable to confirm anything. I should not have created this article without learning more about Wikipedia first and getting some solid facts with references. I do not know the definition of notable. He was connected with Lee Harvey Oswald - Ty Hardin - Timothy McVeigh and was caught planning the bombing of the Hoover Dam and the FBI Headquarters. Please go ahead and remove it. If the FOI requests I made confirm his millitary record, working for OSS or anything else someone can always create a new article right? Scottprovost 10:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you could always create a new article. By the way, I think many of us don't know the definition of "notable" :-) There's an ongoing discussion regarding whether or not this should even be a reason for acceptance/deletion of articles. Regardless, this article doesn't have attributable information (see WP:ATT), which is a policy. It seems that you understand this, though. Sancho (talk) 16:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete, there are a bunch of wild claims but hardly an attributable source in the whole article. As is it fails WP:BIO, WP:N, WP:ATT and WP:V. AlfPhotoman 15:01, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
Delete per above. There are a few hits referencing the name as a 70s/80s militia nut associated with the Christian Identity movement, but I just don't see this passing WP:BIO. RGTraynor 16:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
To give you an idea of the difficulty I have met with. Apparently his military rank is still classified. Even prisoners of war are allowed to give their rank. How can it be sensitive and ineligible for FOI release 60 years later and after he is dead. US News and World Report has information but has been asked not to release it. They claim that it is nothing significant, mostly related to the Kennedy event. All those surveillance records are set to be released for FOI but not available yet.
Is is notable that all the other operatives involved in the Kennedy investigation are considered notable. The fact that Jack is known for being on the side of the Government in 1962 and against the government with Timothy McVeigh with a religious cult to his credit in the meanwile shouldn't make him less notable should it?
Scottprovost 09:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
There is nothing wrong with you re-creating this article or put it on DRV once you have the sources. With the kind of evidence you presented thus far not even a tabloid would print it. AlfPhotoman 14:56, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Comment Wikipedia's guiding principle is verification; if you cannot verify it, you cannot include it. If you have any such facts, you should be able to provide your sources. If you have no sources to provide, then no, this fellow isn't notable. RGTraynor 14:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Microfactory | A | A microfactory either refers to a capital-light facility used for the local assembly of a complex product or system or a small (normally automated) factory for producing small quantities of products. The term was proposed by the Mechanical Engineer Laboratory (MEL) of Japan in 1990 and has recently been used to describe the approach of manufacturers like Local Motors and Arrival.Makoto Tanaka, Development of desktop machining microfactory. Riken Review N. 34 Focused on Advances on Micro-mechanical Fabrication Techniques, April, 2001. Available on the web at
A microfactory can also refer to a factory designed for flexible small batch production that can produce a wide variety of products as opposed to a single monolithic mass production type approach. Typically the manufacturing processes of microfactories take advantage of digital fabrication technology such as 3D printing and CNC machines in order to accomplish this. For example, Local Motors had microfactories in Phoenix, Ariz. and Knoxville, Tenn. The company built products, like the Rally Fighter prerunner sports car, in its microfactories.
At least one proposed microfactory is being designed to make many of its own parts, i.e., a partially self-replicating machine.Koch, Michael D.

Due to their reduced dimensions, microfactories are normally highly automated. They might contain automatic machine tools, assembly systems, quality inspection systems, material feed systems, waste elimination systems, a system to evaluate tool deterioration and a system to replace tools.Ernst Kussul et al.

The Mezzanine | Short description | The Mezzanine (1988) is the first novel by American writer Nicholson Baker. It narrates what goes through a man's mind during a modern lunch break. |
The Mezzanine | Concept | Concept
On the surface, the novel deals with a man's lunchtime trip up an escalator in the mezzanine of the office building where he works (a building based on Baker's recollections of Rochester's Midtown Plaza). The substance of the novel, however, is taken up with the thoughts that run through a person's mind in any given few moments, and the ideas that might result if they were given the time to think these thoughts through to their conclusions. The Mezzanine tells this story through the extensive use of footnotes—some of them comprising the bulk of the page—as the narrator travels through his own mind and past. The footnotes are quite detailed and sometimes diverge into multiple levels of abstraction. Near the end of the book, there is a multi-page footnote on the subject of footnotes themselves. |
The Mezzanine | Plot | Plot
The Mezzanine is essentially plotless, a stream-of-consciousness fiction that examines in detail the lunch-hour activities of young office worker Howie, whose simple lunch (popcorn, hot dog, cookie and milk) and purchase of a new pair of shoelaces are contrasted with his reading of a paperback edition of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. Baker's digressive novel, partly composed of extensive footnotes of up to several pages in length, follows Howie's contemplations of a variety of everyday phenomena, such as how paper milk cartons replaced glass milk bottles, the miracle of perforation, and the buoyant nature of plastic straws; and of everyday objects such as vending machines, paper towel dispensers, and popcorn poppers."Nicholson Baker" (partially locked study guide), eNotes.com. |
The Mezzanine | Critical reception | Critical reception
The novel was praised for its originality and linguistic virtuosity. Critics cited Baker's trademark style of highly descriptive, focused prose, his "fierce attention to detail," and his delight in portraying discrete slices of time within the frame of mundane existence. The Mezzanine created the genre of digressive, annotational metafiction for which Baker is best known, and of which he may be the boldest representative. The academic website eNotes.com remarks that "Like Proust, [Baker] makes the personal significant." New Yorker writer Laura Miller"Contributors: Laura Miller", The New Yorker. Retrieved 2020-10-11. praised Baker's "dazzling descriptive powers married to a passionate enthusiasm for the neglected flotsam and jetsam of everyday life." |

Decoy scorpionfish | Short description | The decoy scorpionfish (Iracundus signifer) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. It is native to the Western Indian and Pacific oceans. A non-migratory species, I. signifer can be observed in close association with coral reefs at depths of from . This species grows to a length of TL. This species is the only known member of its genus and can be distinguished by its unique prey-luring behavior. |
Decoy scorpionfish | Taxonomy | Taxonomy
The decoy scorpionfish is a ray-finned fish, a member of the class Actinopterygii, belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, also known as the scorpionfish, which are aptly named due to many of its species possessing the capacity to produce a venomous mucus on the tips of their spines. This species was first formally described in 1903 by the American ichthyologists David Starr Jordan and Barton Warren Evermann with the type locality given as Oahu in Hawaii. The decoy scorpionfish is the sole member of the genus Iracundus. The genus name Iracundus means "wrathful" and is an allusion to the red color of this species. The specific name signifer is a compound of signa meaning "mark" and fera which means "to bear", a reference to the black spot on the spiny part of the dorsal fin. |
Decoy scorpionfish | Distribution and habitat | Distribution and habitat
The decoy scorpionfish is native to the tropical coral reefs of both the Indian and Pacific oceans. In the Indian Ocean, I. signifer has been observed along the coast of South Africa, as well as the islands of Mauritius and Reunion. In the Pacific, it has been observed in the Hawaiian islands, the Ryukyu islands, and Taiwan.Santhanam, R. (2019). Biology and Ecology of Venomous Marine Scorpionfishes (Family Scorpaenidae). Biology and Ecology of Venomous Marine Scorpionfishes, 2-9. doi:10.1016/b978-0-12-815475-5.00003-0 Like other scorpionfishes, I. signifer is a benthic organism, remaining in close proximity to the seafloor and coral reef for shelter, as well as camouflage from predators and prey. Its most preferred habitat is within the cavernous, rubble-laden inlets underneath the edges of the coral reefs.Shallenberger, R. J., & Madden, W. D. (1973). Luring Behavior in the Scorpionfish, Iracundus signifer. Behaviour, 47(1/2), 33–47. Retrieved from www.jstor.org/stable/4533540 |
Decoy scorpionfish | Morphology | Morphology
The decoy scorpionfish is a small, spiny fish, much like most other members of the family Scorpaenidae. The reddish-orange to white coloring covering most of the fish's body serves as camouflage along the Indo-pacific coral reefs where it resides. The decoy scorpionfish has a stocky, football-like body that can reach up to 13 cm (total length), which is an average length for species within the Scorpaenidae family. Its body is covered in small to medium-sized venomous spines, a characteristic trait of all scorpionfish, the venom from which can be lethal to humans. These spines protrude from nearly everywhere across the fish's body, including ones protruding from around the eyes, along a fleshy membrane surrounding the head, and between the scales of the back, concentrated mostly in a stripe on each side running laterally to the spine. The dorsal fins are broad and fan-like, with deep notches in the membrane between each spine.Jordan, David Starr, and Barton Warren Evermann. “Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission.” V.22 (1902) - Bulletin of the United States Fish Commission., The Commission, Govt. Print. Off., 1 Jan. 1970 Like many other members of the family Scorpaenidae, I. signifer can actively change the color of their bodies in response to their environment. This behavior usually involves displaying more dull colors when attempting to camouflage itself, and flashing brighter colors in the presence of a predator.
Likely the most unique aspect of this fish is the patterning of the dorsal fin itself. The fourth dorsal spine is nearly twice the length of the others, and there exists a distinct black mark appearing somewhere along the membrane between the first and third dorsal spines, with the combination of the two traits resulting in the dorsal fin having the appearance of an even smaller fish. I. signifer utilizes this morphological feature in a coordinated luring mechanism not seen in any other members of the Scorpaenidae family. |
Decoy scorpionfish | Luring behavior | Luring behavior
The decoy scorpionfish has been noted on multiple accounts to display a unique prey-luring mechanism, involving the movement of its dorsal fin. The form of I. signifers dorsal fin strongly resembles that of a small fish, with the fourth dorsal spine representing the dorsal fin of the lure fish, and a small black dot between dorsal spines 1-3 representing the eye. The decoy scorpionfish has developed a method of moving this fin so that it also behaves like a fish would. By moving the first dorsal spine in a figure-eight like pattern, the rest of the fin follows in a wave-like pattern of movement, while also moving laterally from side to side. This motion causes the dorsal fin to resemble a small fish gyrating in the water. The fish-like shape of the fin is emphasized by the more subtle movement between the first and second dorsal spines, which continually move closer and then further apart, mimicking the opening and closing of a fish's mouth. Another factor to this behavior is the active color-changing between the fin and body, as during luring, the normally deep red dorsal fin becomes much more intense in color, and the body of the fish conversely becomes more dull as a camouflage mechanism. |
