Primary carcinoid tumors of the nasal cavity and sinuses are exceedingly rare. An accurate histopathological diagnosis is crucial to optimal investigation and management. We present a case of a primary atypical carcinoid tumor arising from the sphenoid rostrum without evidence of associated carcinoid syndrome. This rare but important differential diagnosis of a nasal tumor is discussed and impo...

Numerous Miocene terrestrial mammal fossils have been discovered at the Grytsiv locality of Ukraine, but this is first record a fossil marine site. Morphological analysis rostral portion middle-late (12.3–11.8 Ma) partial skull suggests that it belongs to subfamily Phocinae. The small size and cranial morphology compared with recent representatives extant Phocinae extinct Devinophocinae. Extinc...

A new deep-sea epimeriid, Epimeria abyssalis is described from the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, in the northwestern Pacific. This species differs from its congeners in having a short rostrum and a telson with deep and narrow Y-shaped excavation. Epimeria abyssalis is the deepest recorded Epimeria species. A key to the north Pacific species of Epimeria is provided.

Diet was manipulated in juveniles of the snake Boa constrictor (Serpentes: Boidae) to test the hypothesis of whether prey size induces phenotypic plasticity of the head skeleton. Additionally, the onset of sexual size dimorphisms (SSDs) was determined under a feeding schedule where total prey mass consumed by snakes was held constant. Twenty-three neonatal B. constrictor from a single-sired lit...

—Three species of nephropid lobsters have been recognized in the genus Homarus: the American and European lobsters, H. americanus and H. gammarus of the northwestern and northeastern Atlantic, respectively, and the Cape lobster of South Africa, H. capensis, few specimens of which have been studied until recently. Analysis of new specimens allows reconsideration of the systematic status of this ...
