Seeing the invisible: Chriolepis lepidota (Gobiidae), literally as never seen before
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background: For the first time, almost half a century after its discovery and description, the poorly known endemic gobiid fish Chriolepis lepidota was seen alive at Malpelo Island. Methods: During a 12-day expedition on March 2017, 18 specimens of this species were observed and photographed at different depths by means of SCUBA diving. Results: Species maximum size and habitat preference are herein documented. Conclusions: This sighting represents the first record of the species in the wild. Also, this report increases our knowledge on the ecology and biology of an unknown species.

The geographer’s taxonomic effort to re-designate urban places and typologies involves a political and ideological content. Most urban spaces are unmanageable because they fit neither w...

In biology, cancer is the most beautiful natural model of a chaotic system, which under uncontrolled proliferations, generates extreme disorder that finally causes intercellular collisions. The authors have described and documented fractal self-assembly of geometric triangular chiral hexagonal crystal-like complex organizations (GTCHC) and interface comet tail effect patterns in cancer processe...

متن کاملSpoken words can make the invisible visible-Testing the involvement of low-level visual representations in spoken word processing.
The notion that processing spoken (object) words involves activation of category-specific representations in visual cortex is a key prediction of modality-specific theories of representation that contrasts with theories assuming dedicated conceptual representational systems abstracted away from sensorimotor systems. In the present study, we investigated whether participants can detect otherwise...
