No Tail No Fail: Life Cycles of the Zoogonidae (Digenea) by Georgii Kremnev, Anna Gonchar, Alexandra Uryadova, Vladimir Krapivin, Olga Skobkina, Arseniy Gubler, Darya Krupenko

“…Based on the reviewed and our own data, we hypothesize that the emergence of tailless cercariae in the evolution of the Zoogonidae is linked to the switch to non-arthropod second intermediate hosts, and that it possibly happened only in the subfamily Zoogoninae. Basally branching zoogonids have retained the ancestral second intermediate host and might have also retained the tail.…”

Multiple tooth-rowed captorhinids from the Early Permian fissure fills of the Bally Mountain Locality of Oklahoma by Aaron R. H. LeBlanc, Amanpreet K Brar, William J May, Robert R Reisz

“…Multiple tooth rows evolved at least twice within Captorhinidae: once in the omnivorous Captorhinus aguti and again in the diverse subfamily of herbivorous moradisaurines. The earliest known moradisaurines co-occured with C. aguti in Lower Permian strata of Texas; however C. aguti is also known from much older fissure fills in the famous Dolese Brothers quarry near Richards Spur, Oklahoma, suggesting that C. aguti preceded any other multiple-rowed captorhinid. …”

Size-Pattern and Larval-Length–Mass Relationships for the Most Common Chironomid Taxa in the Deep Subalpine Lake Maggiore by Lyudmila Kamburska, Silvia Zaupa, Angela Boggero

“…The predicted dry-mass values differed by less than 20% from the measured values, suggesting that these original equations will be important in chironomid production studies. Regressions at the subfamily level were also developed for case identification at the genus or species level, which is difficult to obtain. …”

<i>Arabidopsis</i> Ubiquitin-Conjugating Enzymes UBC7, UBC13, and UBC14 Are Required in Plant Responses to Multiple Stress Conditions by Hui Feng, Sheng Wang, Dengfeng Dong, Ruiyang Zhou, Hong Wang

“…In this study, we investigated three members of an E2 subfamily. The single, double, and triple mutants of <i>UBC7</i>, <i>UBC13</i>, and <i>UBC14</i> did not show any phenotypic changes under normal conditions, but were more sensitive than the wild-type (WT) plants to multiple stress conditions, suggesting that the three genes are not critical for normal growth, but required in plant stress responses. …”
