logical description, distribution map, and original illustrations are provided for each new taxon. Novel identification keys to the sections and all species from Madagascar are also presented.
The neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor (
) gene family plays a critical role in the survival of somatosensory neurons. Most vertebrates have three
genes each of which encode a Trk receptor TrkA, TrkB, or TrkC. The function of the Trk receptors is modulated by the p75 neurotrophin receptors (NTRs). Five
genes and one p75 NTR gene (
) have been discovered in zebrafish. To date, the expression of these genes in the initial stages of neuron specification have not been investigated.
The present work used whole mount in situ hybridization to analyze expression of the five
genes and
in zebrafish at a timepoint when the first sensory neurons of the zebrafish body are being established (16.5 hpf). Because expression of multiple genes were not found at this time point, we also checked expression at 24 hpf to ensure the functionality of our six probes.
At 16.5 hpf, we found tissue specific expression of
in cranial ganglia, and tissue specific expression of
in cranial ganglia and in the spina-expression of ntrk1, ntrk2a and ngfrb, and we speculate that these overlapping patterns indicate relatedness of function.
RNA sequencing is an indispensable research tool used in a broad range of transcriptome analysis studies. The most common application of RNA Sequencing is differential expression analysis and it is used to determine genetic loci with distinct expression across different conditions. An emerging field called single-cell RNA sequencing is used for transcriptome profiling at the individual cell level. The standard protocols for both of these approaches include the processing of sequencing libraries and result in the generation of count matrices. An obstacle to these analyses and the acquisition of meaningful results is that they require programing expertise. Although some effort has been directed toward the development of user-friendly RNA-Seq analysis analysis tools, few have the flexibility to explore both Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing.
BingleSeq was developed as an intuitive application that provides a user-friendly solution for the analysis of count matrices produced by both Bulk and Single-cell RNA-Seq experiments. This was achieved by building an interactive dashboard-like user interface which incorporates three state-of-the-art software packages for each type of the aforementioned analyses. Furthermore, BingleSeq includes additional features such as visualization techniques, extensive functional annotation analysis and rank-based consensus for differential gene analysis results. As a result, BingleSeq puts some of the best reviewed and most widely used packages and tools for RNA-Seq analyses at the fingertips of biologists with no programing experience.

Reports of crocodylian fossils from Australia date back to the late nineteenth century. In 1886, Charles Walter de Vis proposed the name Pallimnarchus pollens for crocodylian fossils from southeast Queensland-the first binomen given to an extinct crocodylian taxon from Australia. Pallimnarchus has come to be regarded as a large, broad-snouted crocodylian from Australia's Plio-Pleistocene, and numerous specimens, few of which are sufficiently complete, have been assigned to it by several authors throughout the twentieth century. In the late 1990s, the genus was expanded to include a second species, Pallimnarchus gracilis. Unfortunately, the original syntype series described as Pallimnarchus pollens is very fragmentary and derives from more than one taxon, while a large part of the subsequently selected lectotype specimen is missing. Becaumaxillary alveoli. These features presently allow formal recognition of two species within the genus, Paludirex vincenti and Paludirex gracilis comb. nov., with the former having comparatively more robust rostral proportions than the latter. The Paludirex vincenti holotype comes from the Pliocene Chinchilla Sand of the Darling Downs, south-eastern Queensland, whereas the material assigned to Paludirex gracilis is from the Pleistocene of Terrace Site Local Fauna, Riversleigh, northwest Queensland. Phylogenetic analyses recover Paludirex vincenti as a mekosuchine, although further cladistic assessments are needed to better understand the relationships within the clade.
Biological invasions rank among the most significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystems. Correlative ecological niche modeling is among the most frequently used tools with which to estimate potential distributions of invasive species. However, when areas accessible to the species across its native distribution do not represent the full spectrum of environmental conditions that the species can tolerate, correlative studies often underestimate fundamental niches.
Here, we explore the utility of supraspecific modeling units to improve the predictive ability of models focused on biological invasions. Taking into account phylogenetic relationships in correlative ecological niche models, we studied the invasion patterns of three species
and
).
Use of supraspecific modeling units improved the predictive ability of correlative niche models in anticipating potential distributions of three invasive species. We demonstrated that integrating data on closely related species allowed a more complete characterization of fundamental niches. This approach could be used to model species with invasive potential but that have not yet invaded new regions.

We provide the state-of-the-art review of methods for automated detection, localization, and/or segmentation of ischemic lesions on NCCT in human brain scans along with their comparison, evaluation, and classification. Twenty-two methods are (1) reviewed and evaluated; (2) grouped into image processing and analysis-based methods (11 methods), brain atlas-based methods (two methods), intensity template-based methods (1 method), Stroke Imaging Marker-based methods (two methods), and Artificial Intelligence-based methods (six methods); and (3) properties of these groups of methods are characterized. A new method classification scheme is proposed as a 2 × 2 matrix with local versus global processing and analysis, and density versus spatial sampling. Future studies are necessary to develop more efficient methods directed toward deep learning methods as well as combining the global methods with a high sampling both in space and density for the merged radiologic and neurologic data.A variety of predictors are available for ovarian stimulation cycles in assisted reproductive technology (ART) forecasting ovarian response and reproductive outcome in women including biomarkers such as anti- Müllerian hormone (AMH). The aim of our present study was to compare the relationship between AMH levels and pregnancy outcomes in patients undergoing intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Overall, fifty patients (n = 50), aged 20-45 years were recruited for the present prospective study. Three AMH levels were presented with high often poly cystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) amongst 52.4% patients, 40.5% in normal and 7.1% in low to normal, correspondingly. There was statistically significant relationship between AMH and day of embryo transfer (p 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for E2 was 0.725 and for AMH levels as predictors of CPR was 0.497 indicating E2 as better predictor than AMH. The number of oocytes, mature oocytes and fertilized oocytes all presented a weak positive relationship to AMH. Our results confirm the clinical significance of AMH to accurately predict ovarian reserve as a marker and its limitations to use as predictor for a positive pregnancy outcome. Additional prospective studies should be conducted to validate the predictive capability of AMH levels for the outcome of clinical pregnancy.Palaeocave sites in South Africa are world renowned repositories for palaeontological and archaeological material, dating from the terminal Pliocene to the Early Pleistocene. Due to their antiquity, complex karstification history and multifaceted infilling phases, palaeocave sites are notoriously difficult to contextualise. Further to this, 19th century lime-mining and diverse excavation and sampling techniques, have complicated stratigraphic interpretations of fossil-bearing deposits within the region. Locating and assessing newly discovered, minimally disturbed palaeocave sites allow for contextual information to be gathered with greater confidence and can aid in constructing a more robust understanding of the South African fossil record. Here, we use Drimolen Makondo; a minimally lime-mined ∼2.61 Ma palaeontological site, to apply a series of in-depth stratigraphic and micromorphological studies. Contextual data presented within this study, testifies to a relatively rapid infill with greater fluvial activity when compared to adjacent deposits at the younger ∼2.04-1.95 Ma Drimolen Main Quarry. The quantity of articulated macromammalian remains, high density of micromammalian remains and pollen identified, also highlights Drimolen Makondo as a key site for ongoing palaeoenvironmental studies at the Pliocene to Pleistocene transition in South Africa.Numerous bacteria entered the viable but non-culturable state due to the stresses of dry and salt in soils. EGFR-IN-7 YeaZ of Gram-negative bacteria is a resuscitation promoting factor (Rpf) homologous protein could resuscitate bacteria of natural environment in VBNC state. To investigate the promoting effect of YeaZ on the isolation of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria from soil samples in extreme environments, the recombinant YeaZ of Vibrio harveyi was prepared and added to the soil samples from volcanic soil and saline soil in Northwest China. The study has shown that YeaZ can promote the recovery and growth of soil microorganisms, and the number of cultivable bacteria in volcanic and saline soil has increased from 0.17 × 103 and 2.03 × 103 cfu⋅ml-1 to 1.00 × 103 and 5.55 × 103 cfu⋅ml-1, respectively. The 16S rDNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis showed that YeaZ played an essential role in the increase of composition and diversity of bacteria. A total of 13 bacterial strains were isolated from the volcanic soil samples, which belong to phyla Actinobacteria, Firmicutes and Gamma-proteobacteria.
