The taxonomic status of Farlowella colombiensis Retzer & Page 1997 with comments on species of the F. acus species group (Loricariidae: Loricariinae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Farlowella has been historically challenging, in part due to the difficulty in defining diagnostic characters for defining and identifying the species. Farlowella colombiensis is one such example, whose diagnostic characters are based on caudal‐fin colour pattern, ventral pattern of body cover and anatomical details of the head, such

Molecular phylogeny reveals a new species of ghost electric knifefish Porotergus Ellis 1912 (Gymnotiformes: Apteronotidae), from the Amazon basin

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost electric knifefish, Porotergus sambaibensis sp. nov., is described from the Javaés River, a tributary of the Araguaia River in Brazil. The new species was assigned to the genus Porotergus as the closest relative to Porotergus gimbeli through maximum likelihood reconstruction of a concatenated multilocus dataset ...

Multiple exostoses and an osteochondroma in a Pliocene canid from Langebaanweg ‘E’ Quarry (South Africa)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Overview of XS of pathological radius. Using anatomical descriptions, CT scanning and bone histology, we investigate several skeletal overgrowths of bone (exostoses) in the skeleton of a jackal‐like canid from the world famous Langebaanweg, a Mio‐Pliocene locality in South Africa.

Diversity and development of the hemibacula of croaking geckos (Sphaerodactylidae: Aristelliger)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos in the genus Aristelliger exhibit enigmatic mineralized elements in their hemipenes, called hemibacula. We examined hemibacula of every species of Aristelliger using μCT, clearing and staining, and histology. We found hemibacula exhibit lineage‐specific morphology, isometric growth after sexual maturity, and are composed of mineralized ...

Diaphragmatic Ultrasonography in Preterm Newborns With Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: An Observational Study

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim In preterm newborns, Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) is one of the leading causes of mortality. Treatment often requires invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), which can cause diaphragmatic dysfunction. Ultrasonography is a promising tool for assessing diaphragmatic function in neonates.

Kalymmatonema gen. nov. (Scytonemataceae, Cyanobacteria): A desert soil crust genus previously identified as Scytonema hyalinum, with description of seven species new to science

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerous cyanobacterial strains previously identified as Scytonema hyalinum were determined to be phylogenetically distant from the type species of Scytonema, S. hofmannii. Morphological and molecular evidence suggests this distinct clade necessitates placement in a new genus, and we have described Kalymmatonema gen. nov. herein. Kalymmatonema

Discovery of a new inland population of Leptoconops noei in Italy with sequencing of the first complete mitochondrial genome for the genus

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The genus Leptoconops is poorly investigated, despite its ecological relevance and biting nuisance. The studies in Italy focused only on the coastal areas. Inland populations of Leptoconops noei are documented for the first time in Italy. We record their presence in an area covering Siena district, Tuscany region, in an atypical environment for the ...

Mandibular Condylar Cartilage in Development and Diseases: A PTHrP‐Centric View

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The mandibular condylar cartilage (MCC) is a dual‐function component of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), acting as both articular cartilage for jaw movement and growth cartilage for vertical growth of the mandibular condyle. Parathyroid hormone‐related protein (PTHrP) plays a critical role in orchestrating chondrogenesis in the long bone ...
