Abstract Commercial bycatch species and their exploitation pattern in the Mediterranean trawl fishery are little studied. The present work examines overall size-selection pattern, both regarding sea fisher onboard vessel, for seven commercial using different codends. applied selection model predicted escape, discard, landing probability each simultaneously, a useful method providing information...

Three new species of the family Rotundabaloghiidae are discovered and described from Sabah, Malaysia. The unusual Angulobaloghiarutra sp. n. differs from the other known Angulobaloghia Hirschmann, 1979 species in the long anterior process of the female's genital shield. Rotundabaloghia (Circobaloghia) tobiasisp. n. has very long and apically pilose dorsal setae and two pairs of bulbiform setae,...

Signaling through Notch receptors has been implicated in the control of cellular differentiation in animals ranging from nematodes to humans. Starting from a human expressed sequence tag-containing sequence resembling that of Serrate, the gene for a ligand of Drosophila melanogaster Notch, we assembled a full-length cDNA, now called human Jagged2, from overlapping cDNA clones. The full-length c...

A new genus with a species of soft-winged flower beetle, Pectotibialis paghmanensis Tshernyshev gen. et sp. nov. are described from Afghanistan. The can be distinguished the congeners tribe Apalochrini by dark pectination in apices tibiae both sexes, and anterior which hollowed at distal half, flattened rounded femora, bituberculate basal parts head pronotum, two lamellate metathoracic appendag...
