Traditional fruiting body-based classification of ascomycetes has been under attack for 2 decades. Fruiting-body types can converge, and few researchers now assume that either the closed fruiting bodies (cleistothecia) characterizing the class Plectomycetes or the flask-shaped fruiting bodies (perithecia) characterizing the class Pyrenomycetes are stable, unifying characters. Unless we identify...

DNA barcoding first came to the attention in 2003 when Paul Hebert’s research group at the University of Guelph published a paper titled ‘Biological identifications through DNA barcodes’. The basic principle behind DNA barcoding is based on the fact that small DNA sequences are capable of identifying different species as well as they are able to differentiate them. This technique deals with a n...

The new generations are losing the historical and cultural significance of different characters that participate during Christmas festivities in city Riobamba; introduction foreign through movies, series, animations, or other media has caused loss identity, history, traditions city. purpose this research work is to present, rescue, preserve manifestations town Riobamba, relying on three identif...

The discovery of six specimens of the enigmatic order Siphoniulida, including for the first time males, prompted a modern re-analysis of current phylogenetic schemes for the class Diplopoda derived from traditional morphological and developmental characters. The data matrix was constructed and analysed using paup. The resulting phylogenetic hypotheses corroborated the longest standing, traditio...

Both the color patterns of the body and the structures of the male genitalia are important characters used in species identification of traditional taxonomy. However, these characters are often limiting when identifying females of some species. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the species reality of Asiopodabrus fragiliformis which often has difficulty in being identified due to individu...

Bill Willingham’s Fables comic book series and its spin-offs have spanned fourteen years and reinforce that fairy-tale characters are culturally meaningful, adaptable, subversive, and pervasive. Willingham uses fairy-tale pastiche and syncreticism based on the ethos of comic book crossovers in his redeployment of previous approaches to fairy-tale characters. Fables characters are richer for eve...

In animating virtual characters, it is necessary to provide an interface that allows users specify the characters’ motion with high-level concepts as well as low-level details. And it will be convenient to user if the system provides an animation agent that processes various tasks for animation. In this paper, we suggest an agent (HUman-MOtion Agent: HUMOA) that controls behaviors and actions o...

The phylogenetic relationships within the Arthropoda have been controversial for more than a century. Today, comparative studies on the structure and development of the nervous system contribute important arguments to this discussion, so that the term "neurophylogeny" was coined for this discipline. The large number of recent studies on the nervous system in various nonmodel arthropods indicate...
