Our research delves into the distinctions in vertebral column morphology and regionalization within the snake family Colubridae, comparing arboreal and terrestrial species. Our results provide significant support for dissociation between two pre-cloacal regions: the ‘pre-atrial’ (anterior to heart) and the ‘post-atrial’ (posterior to heart). Furthermore, the two ecological groups display distinct proportional compositions between the two pre-cloacal regions and the one post-cloacal region (caudal); arboreal species tend to possess a higher proportion of caudal vertebrae, whereas terrestrial species exhibit a higher proportion of post-atrial vertebrae. Our study reveals that the axial morphology of arboreal species is distinct from that of terrestrial species; however, this was not attributable to a convergent evolution process. By estimating the evolutionary history of vertebral number in each region between the ecological groups, we find each region has a unique pattern, further highlighting evolutionary disassociation between the regions. This study adds to the growing evidence on regionalization of the pre-cloacal snake vertebral column and underscores the importance in continuing to develop our understanding of snake evolution.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140001074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although caddisflies spend most of their lives as larvae and pupate in the water, fossils of these stages are rarely found. However, ~100 pupae and uncased larvae were discovered at McGraths Flat, an Australian Miocene Lagerstätte. Many of the fossils are extremely well preserved. In addition to external features that include a spinneret among the mouthparts and claws on the abdominal prolegs, some larvae show silk glands, parts of the gastrointestinal tract, and tracheoles. The pupae are all at the pharate stage; in some, large compound eyes can be seen, and some exhibit male genitalia. Scanning electron microscopy revealed ommatidial structures, such as rhabdoms, corneas, and most remarkably the corneal nanocoating. Two caddisfly morphotypes are preserved at McGraths Flat. The larger morphotype belongs to the suborder Annulipalpia and can be assigned, most probably, to the family Dipseudopsidae. The smaller morphotype closely resembles extant members of the family Hydroptilidae (suborder Spicipalpia). No adult caddisflies or individual wings, no immature pupae, and no larval or pupal cases have been found in the deposit.

A review of the spinosaurid record has allowed us to dismiss the presence of the genus Baryonyx from Iberia; hence, only Camarillasaurus, Iberospinus, Protathlitis, Riojavenatrix gen. nov., and Vallibonavenatrix are considered to be present in the Early Cretaceous of Iberia.

Tomoceridae is one of the earliest branches in the elongate-bodied springtails (Collembola: Entomobryomorpha), and is among the commonest and best-known families in the class. However, the homology of some important traits is still obscure in this group, including its characteristic chaetotaxic traits. In this study, we conducted the first rigorous homology assessment of chaetotaxy in Tomoceridae based on ontogenetic evidence. The postembryonic development of chaetotaxy was investigated in three species of Tomocerus. The primary chaetotaxy of first instar larvae show high similarity within Tomocerinae. The postembryonic development involves extensive transformations between chaetal types. The continuous dwarfism of primary chaetae during development leads to apparent oligochaetosis in adults. The thoracic bothriotricha are transformed from primary macrochaetae. The sensory chaetotaxy is stable during postembryonic development, and shows interspecific differences mainly on the mesothorax and the fourth abdominal segment. This study will promote the future use of chaetotaxic traits in the taxonomic and phylogenetic studies of Tomoceridae, and will potentially illuminate the early evolution of Entomobryomorpha.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139909205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their bizarre anatomy and their social and reproductive behaviour are now well understood. Among the oviraptorid subclade, the two-fingered Oksoko avarsan is particularly well-represented. It is known from several exquisite skeletons, preserving not only the entire skeleton, but multiple stages through ontogeny, providing an exemplar for understanding the anatomy of oviraptorids and the changes that their skeletons experienced over their lifetimes. Here I comprehensively describe the osteology of Oksoko avarsan and comment on its ontogenetic variation. Excellent preservation of the specimens provides unparalleled detail into the anatomy of an oviraptorid, providing valuable context for interpreting other oviraptorosaurs. Several changes are observed to occur through ontogeny relating to robustness of the bones and proportions of the skeleton, but there is little evidence suggesting that discrete features like the cranial crest arose late in ontogeny. Instead, early development of the cranial crest in oviraptorids, and its internal connection with the nasal passages and other pneumatic spaces, argue in favour of a role in vocalization, perhaps alongside sexual display. Detailed anatomical and ontogenetic data, like those provided by known specimens of Oksoko avarsan, are necessary to help to underpin ongoing research into the palaeobiology and macroevolution of Oviraptorosauria.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139898818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Hondo red fox (Vulpes vulpes japonica), distributed on Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu islands, was supported as a monophyletic group. The tMRCA of the Hondo clade was ~0.148 (95% highest posterior density: 0.236–0.080) Ma. The Hondo clade diverged into two subclades, and each was roughly distributed on the eastern or western area of the Japanese Archipelago. The effective population size of the Hondo red fox remained nearly constant until ~0.03–0.02 Ma; thereafter, it grew ~10-fold. The Kita red fox (Vulpes vulpes schrencki) distributed on Hokkaido Island formed a polyphyletic group, not including the Hondo clade. The completely different phylogenetic structures of the Hondo and Kita red fox indicate that they have independent evolutionary backgrounds.

Studies have shown that captive primates respond to narrower and steeper supports by flexing limb joints and adopting a compliant gait. We tested whether these same kinematic responses are adopted by wild primates freely ranging over a variety of supports in their natural habitats. We recorded five species of platyrrhines, five species of catarrhines, and four species of strepsirrhines with modified GoPro cameras and used remote measurement to quantify substrate characteristics. Video images were imported into ImageJ to measure the angular kinematics of limb joints during quadrupedal locomotion on a variety of arboreal supports. We statistically tested for associations between joint posture and substrate characteristics, and then disentangled the influence of phylogeny and substrate on limb joint kinematics using variation partitioning and redundancy analysis. Our results partially confirm previous kinematic studies and suggest variation in support orientation, more than diameter or compliance, influences quadrupedal gait kinematics. Phylogenetic relatedness explained more variation in the data than substrate properties. This suggests primates either prospectively choose relatively ‘safe’ substrates for locomotion, or that they possess locomotor adaptations independent of limb joint kinematics per se to overcome the challenges of the precarious arboreal environment.","PeriodicalId":49333,"journal":{"name":"Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139716989","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Genome rearrangement during the sexual reproduction (conjugation) of ciliates, involving the elimination of ~25–90% of germline DNA, provides an opportunity to study large-scale genome remodelling while also revealing a more thorough mode of transposon repression, i.e. Piwi-interacting small RNA-mediated DNA deletion in the somatic nucleus. Although much progress has been made, research has focused mainly on a few model species that are amenable to gene editing. For other species, although they are more suitable to address some scientific gaps, research cannot be carried out owing to limitations of genetic engineering.
