The new species, A. mexicana, differs from all congeners mainly in the length of the spicule (0.228-0.233 mm) and in the shape and size of the tail and caudal alae. Ozolaimus ctenosauri (syn. Ozolaimus prolixa Caballero et Cerecero, 1943) is considered a valid species parasitic in Ctenosaura spp. Scanning electron microscopic studies of both species revealed substantial differences in the structure of the mouth, which were used for the separation of the closely related genera Ozolaimus and Alaeuris.

It is distinguished mainly by small body measurements (body length of male and female 3.39-4.18 mm and 5.94-6.23 mm, respectively), a conspicuously long left spicule (1.58-2.05 mm), length ratio of spicules (1:10-12), and by eggs provided with 2 filaments on 1 pole. Ascarophis mexicana is the second Ascarophis species known to parasitize fishes of the genus Epinephelus (groupers).

In the years since, the incident has shed light on the deplorable working conditions and vulnerability of the millions of workers around the world who are working and living at the periphery of the formal economy. We call these workers informal workers. Worldwide, millions of people are working to meet their basic daily needs—and doing so without health coverage, social insurance, or access to maternity or sick leave. These informal workers also do not have voice and representation for their interests, lacking the protection and asset of trade unions. While in most of the Global South " informality " has always been the norm, today the trend is on the rise in more developed and globalized economies, in the form of deregulation, outsourcing, and flex and temp work. Toward a new economic paradigm A guest worker in New York City, a street vendor in Tunisia, a home-based worker in Delhi, an outsourced factory worker in Dhaka, a Syrian refugee day laborer in Amman or Beirut, a waste picker in Bogotá: All of them are equally vulnerable to wage theft, low and fluctuating income, forced eviction, criminalization, and societal stigma. Informal workers are not recognized as valid in ways that would make them eligible for protection, and their occupations are typically not considered " legitimate " economic activities. They have always been part of the so-called gray economy—and thus mostly inside the " punitive arm " but outside the " protective arm " of the state. But when social protection programs fail to provide universal coverage, migrant workers' remittances and informal workers' daily income make it possible for families to make ends meet. For women, refugees, and disabled and migrant workers in the Global South, informal employment is the way to earn a livelihood, with hardly any options for " formal " work. The vulnerabilities of gender, race, disability, and migration compound the daily burdens informal workers already face when it comes to negotiating better wages, prices, public space, and basic services with employers, buyers, and municipalities. As Marty Chen, co-founder and international coordinator of Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), puts it, " In many developing countries, the workforce is overwhelmingly informal—and informal employment is here to stay. What is needed, most fundamentally, is a new economic paradigm: a model of a hybrid economy that embraces the traditional and the modern, the small scale and the big scale, the informal and the formal. " Across the Global South, between 50 and 90 percent of the workforce is informal, and 40 to 60 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) is generated by the informal economy. The contribution of the informal economy to the gross value added (GVA) is as high as 50 percent and 46 percent, respectively, in Benin and India, and over 30 percent in Guatemala and Colombia. The countries of the Middle East and North Africa are no exception: Informal employment reaches up to 74 percent in Yemen, 71 percent in Lebanon, and 63 percent in Morocco. These facts suggest that informal employment is central to those economies.

We selected a sample of 314 short YouTube videos about 21 Spanish TV series that premiered in 2013 by Spain's three most popular mainstream television networks (Telecinco, Antena 3, and La1). These videos, which together received more than 24 million views, were classified according to two key variables: the nature (official or nonofficial) of the YouTube channel on which they were located and the exclusivity of their content (already broadcast on TV or Web exclusive). The analysis allows us to characterize the strategies used by TV networks on YouTube and the activity of fans as well as their efforts in the construction of a transmedia narrative universe around TV series. In The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau (1984) highlighted the productive activity inherent in consumption. This activity, which is seen by classical economics and other social sciences as the devouring, extinction, and disappearance of all that is produced for that consumption, reaches a new dimension when it is conceived as a tactic that opposes the strategies of production. As de Certeau (1984) pointed out, " The analysis of the images broadcast by television (representation) and of the time spent watching television (behaviour) should be complemented by a study of what the cultural consumer 'makes' or 'does' during this time and with these images " (pp. xii–xiii). In his view, this consumer production is hidden, devious, dispersed, silent, and almost invisible, " because it does not manifest itself Raúl Rodríguez-Ferrándiz: r.rodriguez@ua.es
