Cutis verticis gyrata is a long lasting and progressive condition in which there is hypertrophy and folding of the scalp skin. It typically affects the vertex and occipital region; however, it may involve the entire scalp. Classically, it has been divided into primary and secondary forms.

Genetic linkage maps provide a useful resource for non-model genomes and can aid in genome reassembly to form more contiguous pseudo-chromosomes. We present the first map of any cephalopod, H. maculosa, composed 47 groups (LG). A total 2166 single nucleotide polymorphisms 2455 presence–absence variant loci were utilised by Lep-Map3 construction. The length spans 2016.62 cM with an average marke...

The classical approach to predicting the geographical extent of species invasions consists of training models in the native range and projecting them in distinct, potentially invasible areas. However, recent studies have demonstrated that this approach could be hampered by a change of the realized climatic niche, allowing invasive species to spread into habitats in the invaded ranges that are c...

A new species of river loach, Schistura megalodon sp. nov., is described from the Irrawaddy basin in Yingjiang County, Dehong Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The following combination of diagnostic characters serve to distinguish it from all other congeners in the given zoogeographical region: a large processus dentiformes in the upper jaw, a short pre-anus length of 65.4%-66.3% ...
