Astragalus zhobensis, a new species of section Caprini (Fabaceae) from Zhob, northern Balochistan, Pakistan

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species Astragalus zhobensis, from Qamardin Karez, Zhob district, northern Balochistan, Pakistan is described and illustrated. The new species is morphologically similar to A. cartilagineus, but can be distinguished by strigose hairs 3–5 mm long, (not stiff 1.5−4.0 mm long hairs); stipules 5–15 mm (not 8−12 mm) long; leaflets in 4–6 pairs, (not 3–

Cortinarius swatensis sp. nov. (Basidiomycota; Agaricales) in C. subg. Infracti from Pakistan, based on morphology, microscopy and phylogeny

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Cortinarius swatensis sp. nov. was collected from the District Swat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan. This new species is characterized by its brown to purplish grey fibrillose pileus which does not change color on bruising, a robust, fibrillose stipe with inconspicuous cortina remnants and relatively small (4.5–5.2 × 3.4–4.3 µm), sub‐globose to ...

Evidence for dark matter in the inner Milky Way

open access: yes, 2015
The ubiquitous presence of dark matter in the universe is today a central tenet in modern cosmology and astrophysics. Ranging from the smallest galaxies to the observable universe, the evidence for dark matter is compelling in dwarfs, spiral galaxies ...

Candidate Dark Galaxy-2: Validation and Analysis of an Almost Dark Galaxy in the Perseus Cluster

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Candidate Dark Galaxy-2 (CDG-2) is a potential dark galaxy consisting of four globular clusters (GCs) in the Perseus cluster, first identified in D. Li et al. through a sophisticated statistical method. The method searched for overdensities of GCs from a

The Dark Disk of the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2009
Massive satellite accretions onto early galactic disks can lead to the deposition of dark matter in disk-like configurations that co-rotate with the galaxy. This phenomenon has potentially dramatic consequences for dark matter detection experiments.

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Liver molecular networks associated with drinking behavior in nonhuman primates

open access: yesAlcohol, Clinical and Experimental Research, EarlyView.
We identified hepatic molecular networks that differed between light drinkers (LD) and very heavy drinkers (VHD) before they were exposed to alcohol, as well as epigenetic differences between LD and VHD in response to the same amount of alcohol.

Searching for Dark Galaxies with H I Detection from the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) Survey

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a catalog of 142 dark galaxy candidates in a region covered by the Arecibo Legacy Fast ALFA (ALFALFA) survey. We start with 344 ALFALFA H i sources without optical counterparts and remove those that do not seem to have a dark galaxy origin. To
