Causal Cognition, Force Dynamics and Early Hunting Technologies by Peter Gärdenfors, Peter Gärdenfors, Marlize Lombard, Marlize Lombard

“…By looking at variations in force dynamics as a central element in causal cognition, we analyze the thinking required for different hunting technologies such as stabbing spears, throwing spears, launching atlatl darts, shooting arrows with a bow, and the use of poisoned arrows. Our interpretation demonstrates that there is an interplay between the extension of human body through technology and expanding our cognitive abilities to reason about causes. …”

Phylogenetic analyses of Chilomastix and Retortamonas species using in vitro excysted flagellates by Jun Suzuki, Sanjib Kumar Sardar, Ajanta Ghosal, Naoko Yoshida, Hanako Kurai, Yudai Alex Takahashi, Yumiko Saito-Nakano, Sandipan Ganguly, Seiki Kobayashi

“…Phylogenetic analysis based on their 18S rRNA genes revealed that two isolates of C. mesnili from Japanese macaques belonged to the same cluster as a C. mesnili isolate from humans, whereas a mammalian Retortamonas sp. isolate from a small Indian mongoose belonged to the same cluster as that of an amphibian Retortamonas spp. isolate from a ‘poison arrow frog’ [sequence identity to AF439347 (94.9%)]. …”

Fight Fungi with Fungi: Antifungal Properties of the Amphibian Mycobiome by Patrick J. Kearns, Sarah Fischer, Saioa Fernández-Beaskoetxea, Caitlin R. Gabor, Jaime Bosch, Jennifer L. Bowen, Michael F. Tlusty, Michael F. Tlusty, Douglas C. Woodhams

“…We used a four-part approach, including high-throughput sequencing of bacterial and fungal communities, cultivation of fungi, Bd challenge assays, and experimental additions of probiotic to Midwife Toads (Altyes obstetricans), to examine the overlapping roles of bacterial and fungal microbiota in pathogen defense in captive bred poison arrow frogs (Dendrobates sp.). Our results revealed that cutaneous fungal taxa differed from environmental microbiota across three species and a subspecies of Dendrobates spp. frogs. …”
