The identity of Lithospermum rochelii, so far known only from its type locality (Bulgaria, hills in Plovdiv town), remained hitherto uncertain. Our examination of its original material and re‐collection of the species from its locus classicus in Plovdiv town revealed its identity with Lithospermum glandulosum (syn.

Abstract Current influenza vaccines need to be updated annually owing to constant antigenic drift in the globular head of the viral surface hemagglutinin (HA) glycoprotein. The immunogenic subdominant stem domain of HA is highly conserved and can be recognized by antibodies capable of binding multiple HA subtypes.

Variability in fluvially‐dominated, fine‐grained, shallow‐water deltas
Abstract Fluvially‐dominated, fine‐grained, shallow‐water deltas are more variable than is generally recognized. Studies of the Mississippi River imply rather persistent river‐mouth jet dynamics, resulting in either progressive channel bifurcation around middle‐ground mouth bars on lobate deltas, or steady channel progradation to form elongate deltas ...
