Carnivorous Utricularia: the buckling scenario.

We review recent results about the functioning of aquatic carnivorous traps from the genus Utricularia. The use of high speed cameras has helped to elucidate the mechanism at the origin of the ultra fast capture process of Utricularia, at a millisecond time scale. As water is pumped out of the trap, pressure decreases inside the trap and elastic energy is stored due to the change of shape of th...

Anuretes grandis sp . n . ,

A new species of caligid copepod (Siphonostomatoida), Anuretes grandis sp. n., parasitic on the painted sweetlips [Diagramma pictum (Thunberg)] in Taiwan is described. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by having: (1) free margin of cephalothorax not covering fourth pediger, (2) large genital complex longer than 2/3 of the cephalic shield, (3) no maxillary whip, (4) leg 3 with ...

Pullulomyxa botrytis n. sp.

A brief note was published some years ago by W. T. Morgan of the Lister Institute, London, and the writer (1932) describing the isolation from decayed woody tissues of a micro-organism which decomposes the specific polysaccharides of Shigella dysenteriae, Shiga; Shigella dysenteriae, Flexner Y; Pneumococcus Type II; and the tubercle bacillus. At the time a study of the relationship of this orga...

Taxonomy of Malagasy Nesomyrmex brevicornis species-group using conventional morphology-based approach

Here we describe the diversity of the Malagasy Nesomyrmex brevicornis-group as the final installment of series describing the complete Malagasy Nesomyrmex fauna. In the current paper introduce the Nesomyrmex brevicornis-group, a newly outlined species group. We split this group from one of the four former groups, Nesomyrmex madecassus-group (sensu Csősz and Fisher 2015). The relatively small nu...
