1173. Ipomoea pandurata (L.) G. Mey

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary Ipomoea pandurata is a Morning Glory from North America which develops a large storage root. There is much uncertainty about its discovery before its formal description in the middle of the 18th century. Originally described as a Convolvulus, almost a hundred years passed before its recognition as a species of Ipomoea.

Towards a unified publicly accessible database of avian type specimens

Ibis, EarlyView.
Type specimens represent the crucial physical reference for any scientific bird name, but type material is scattered widely across the globe, and there is still no one comprehensive source documenting the presence, status and condition of all avian type specimens, as well as associated information on nomenclature and the validity of individual names ...

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Tooth morphology of deep‐water catsharks of the genus Apristurus (Chondrichthyes: Pentanchidae) in the North Atlantic Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The deep‐water catshark family (Pentanchidae) is the most species‐rich family among extant shark lineages. Within this family, the genus Apristurus is the largest, comprising small, deep‐sea species characterised by elongated bodies and dorso‐ventrally compressed snouts. Five Apristurus species are currently recognised from the North Atlantic,

A new sexually dimorphic species of the armoured catfish genus Neoplecostomus (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) from Neotropical Atlantic coastal drainages

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Neoplecostomus is described from Neotropical Atlantic coastal drainages, in southeast Brazil. The new species can be readily diagnosed from all congeners by having the first plates of the ventral series reduced in size, rounded and ventrally displaced, resulting in a naked band between ...

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...

Virtual brain endocasts of the palaeanodont Metacheiromys marshi and the neurosensory evolution of early Pholidotamorpha

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...
