The Birth of a Detective Story from the Spirit of Fantasy by Tomáš Horváth

“…Types of the texts mutually differentially defined through logical relationships: inclusive relationship between fantasy (also horror) and detective story (detective segment of investigation incorporated into a text of fantasy or horror, while function of this segment in the detective story and fantasy/horror is reversed), reversed inclusion of fantasy to a genre of a detective story (from the first appearance supernatural thing is logically explained by empiric way), exclusion between a detective story and horror (a detective genre does not have to contain really supernatural motives) and relationship of unique synthesis between a detective story and a fantasy (when a detective story is completely incorporated within fantasy, or a narrative structure contains two parallel stories – detective one and a fantasy). …”

Comparative development of the serotonin- and FMRFamide-immunoreactive components of the nervous system in two distantly related ribbon worm species (Nemertea, Spiralia) by Jörn von Döhren

“…It would be insightful to explore neurodevelopment in additional species to be able to document the diversity and deduce common patterns to trace the evolution of nervous system development.MethodsFluorescent immunohistochemical labeling with polyclonal primary antibodies against serotonin and FMRF-amide and a monoclonal antibody against synapsin performed on series of fixed larval stages of two nemertean species Cephalothrix rufifrons (Archinemertea, Palaeonemertea) and Emplectonema gracile (Monostilifera, Hoplonemertea) were analyzed with confocal laser scanning microscopy.ResultsThis contribution gives detailed accounts on the development of the serotonin- and FMRFamide-immunoreactive subsets of the nervous system in two nemertean species from the first appearance of the respective signals. Additionally, data on synapsin-like immunoreactivity illustrates the general structure of neuropil components. …”

Sedimentary Provenance From the Evolving Forearc‐to‐Foreland Central Sakarya Basin, Western Anatolia Reveals Multi‐Phase Intercontinental Collision by Megan A. Mueller, Alexis Licht, Clay Campbell, Faruk Ocakoğlu, Gui G. Akşit, Grégoire Métais, Pauline M. C. Coster, K. Christopher Beard, Michael H. Taylor

“…New detrital zircon (DZ) and sandstone petrography results indicate that the volcanic arc was the main source of sediment to the forearc basin in the Late Cretaceous. The first appearance of Pontide basement‐aged DZs, in concert with exhumation of the accretionary prism and a decrease in regional convergence rates, indicates intercontinental collision initiated no later than 76 Ma. …”
