Two new species of Mesabolivar González-Sponga are described, M. charrua sp. nov. and M. uruguayensis sp. nov. The male of Mesabolivar tandilicus Mello-Leitão is redescribed. Notes on the natural history of the studied species are presented.

working groups were then refined at a series of international meetings. The main elements of information required for each proposed indicator (characteristics, operational definition, possible sources of data, methodological issues, and availability) were summarised on a standard form. A web-site of all pertinent EUROCHIP information has been created (www.istitutotumori.mi.it/ project/eurochip/...

We report six new records of skinks from northwestern Vietnam: Eutropis macularius, Scincelladevorator , S.monticola, S.ochracea, Sphenomorphuscryptotis and S.indicus. Our new findings increase the species number of skinks (Scincidae) to nine in Dien Bien Province and to 14 in Son La Province. We also provide additional natural history data of aforementioned species.

On the contrary, people with closed mind will always think that they can do it by their principals. So, what kind of per...

Classification was a key practice of the natural history sciences in the early 19th century, but leading taxonomists disagreed over basic matters, such as how many species the British flora contained. In this arena, the impact of Charles Darwin's ideas was surprisingly limited. For taxonomists like Darwin's friend, Joseph Dalton Hooker, the priority was to establish a reputation as a philosophi...

Wilhelm Blandowski, a Prussian émigré, arrived in Australia in 1849 with hopes of exploring and documenting the natural history of this still relatively scientifically nai;ve colony. After several years travelling, surveying and mining gold, he became the first government zoologist at the infant National Museum of Victoria and was a key player in the burgeoning scientific establishment. Chosen ...

seven percent had no angiographic evidence of lesions and were recommended for return to flying status. Those individuals with normal ang.ograms will be closely followed at the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine in an effort to determine their natural history and prognosis. The findings in this study, the lack of significant complications resulting from coronary angiography, the concern for publ...
