Perikymata number and spacing on early modern human teeth: evidence from Qafzeh cave, Israel by Janet M. Monge, Anne-Marie Tillier, Alan Mann

“…The number of perikymata on complete and unworn teeth is within the range of variation of other hominins and does not provide specific evidence for attributing these specimens to one hominin taxon or another. Similarly, the pattern of perikymata compaction toward the cemento-enamel junction of the Qafzeh specimens is compared to published sources.…”

Woody flora of the Prof. Dr. Karl Arens Reserve, Corumbataí, São Paulo, Brazil by Lilian Santos, Pedro Luís de Moraes

“…Although several studies have been conducted in the Reserve, there was no testimony material for some species in the Herbarium Rioclarense (HRCB), nor a list of vouchers for any taxon in the main publications. Thus, the objective of this work was to undertake a floristic survey of the woody species in the Reserve, based on herbarium specimens and fieldwork.The survey in HRCB recorded 510 exsiccatae belonging to 160 species and 44 families. …”

Re-evaluation of the Bahariya Formation carcharodontosaurid (Dinosauria: Theropoda) and its implications for allosauroid phylogeny. by Maximilian Kellermann, Elena Cuesta, Oliver W M Rauhut

“…A new genus and species, Tameryraptor markgrafi gen. et sp. nov, is proposed for the Egyptian taxon. The theropods of the Bahariya Oasis and the Moroccan Kem Kem Group are thus not as closely related as previously thought, and the proposed faunal similarities between these two strata need further examination.…”

Water Quality Assessment of Derinçay Stream (Çorum) by Biotic Indices by Faruk Maraşlıoğlu, Süleyman İpek

“…In the study, 42 taxa belonging to Bacillariophyta were identified, and the dominant taxon of the stream was Nitschia palea. According to some biotic indices such as the Trophic Diatom Index (TDI) and Saprobic Index (SI), it was determined that the Derinçay Stream has a hypertrophic trophic structure corresponding to the "bad" ecological status with an average TDI value of 79.8, and according to the SI, the upper stations (St1, St2) were organically slightly polluted corresponding to β-mesosaprobic, while the other stations were determined to be heavily polluted corresponding to α-mesosaprobic. …”

Nidoviruses associated with aquatic animals by L. P. Buchatsky, V. V. Makarov

“…Nidoviruses comprise the most complex grouping among other viruses with respect to their multiplicity, phylogeny, systematics, species identification, genetic relationships within a taxon, progressive variability. Like other single-stranded RNA viruses, nidoviruses have a relatively high ability to mutate and recombine, which allows them to quickly adapt to new hosts and new ecological niches. …”
