We provide a new study of previously published eurhinodelphinid materials from the early Miocene Piedmont (NW Italy) based on preparation fossil specimens. studied specimens assigned to Tursiops miocaenus and Dalpiazella sp. anatomical data skull ear bones. In particular, we suggest that was must be reassigned Ziphiodelphis sigmoideus (Cetacea, Odontoceti, Eurhinodelphinidae) comparisons squamo...

The tribe Amphidorini LeConte, 1862, commonly known as the Desert Stink Beetles, is a species-rich group of flightless darkling beetles in subfamily Blaptinae Leach, 1815 distributed throughout Western Hemisphere and contains 252 valid species-group taxa within seven genera. In this study we provide molecular phylogenetic analyses based on loci to assess both tribal monophyly composition well g...

Three new genera, six species, three combinations, epitypes, and 25 interesting host /or geographical records are introduced in this study. New genera: Neoleptodontidium (based on aquaticum ), Nothoramularia ragnhildianicola ). species: Acremonium (from cooling pad water, USA, Cladophialophora laricicola (on dead wood of Larix sp., Netherlands), Cyphellophora neerlandica lichen brick wall, Geon...

In Western Kopet Dagh, the lower Cretaceous carbonate series contains distinctive assemblages of calcareous algae, chiefly Dasycladales which are primarily studied in this work. Based on the significant presence of certain species, the Zard Formation, assigned to the Valanginian and, in its upper part, to the Hauterivian or base of the Barremian, is subdivided into two intervals, respectively A...
