Box jellyfish carry an elaborate visual system consisting of 24 eyes, which they use for driving a number of behaviours. However, it is not known how visual input controls the swimming behaviour. In this study we exposed the Caribbean box jellyfish Tripedalia cystophora to simple visual stimuli and recorded changes in their swimming behaviour. Animals were tethered in a small experimental chamb...

The Proboscidea were very prominent in South American ecosystems during the Pleistocene and part of Holocene. Specifically, Valle del Cauca (Colombia), fossils these large mammals have been found, reflecting an abundant presence region. In this work, a mandibular fragment with complete last molar (m3) is reported, found near bed River, Juanchito municipality Santiago de Cali. According to morph...

Elephants are the only living representatives of the Proboscidea, a formerly diverse mammalian order whose history began with the 55-million years (mys) old Phosphatherium. Reported here is the discovery from the early late Paleocene of Morocco, ca. 60 mys, of the oldest and most primitive elephant relative, Eritherium azzouzorum n.g., n.sp., which is one of the earliest known representatives o...
