Six Munidopsis species are recorded to the Southwestern Atlantic: M. barbarae; M. erinacea; M. nitida; M. sigsbei; M. riveroi and M. transtridens. Herein a new Munidopsis species from Southwestern Atlantic is described: Munidopsis trindadensis sp.nov., was sampled off Trindade Island (Espírito Santo, Brazil) at 360 m depth and differs from all six species previously recorded in this region by t...

In recent decades, intense droughts, insect outbreaks, and wildfires have led to decreasing tree growth and increasing mortality in many temperate forests. We compared annual tree-ring width data from 1,097 populations in the coterminous United States to climate data and evaluated site-specific tree responses to climate variations throughout the 20th century. For each population, we developed a...

The establishment in 1904 of a British hospital at Gyantse, in southwestern Tibet, marked the formal introduction of biomedicine into that Himalayan state. In the ensuing decades, officers of the Indian Medical Service (IMS) offered treatment to Tibetans from their Gyantse base as a part of the British imperial relationship with the Tibetan state. Given that Gyantse was a small town of little p...

A 66-kD Alu-DNA-repeat binding protein was identified in human somatic cell nucleoplasm. Gel shift assay, southwestern blotting, and affinity purification on DNA attached to a carrier were used. A 60-kD protein copurified with the 66-kD protein during affinity purification, probably due to protein--protein interactions. The gel shift assay reveals multiple complexes with exponential dependence ...

It remains a challenge to identify the geographical patterns and underlying environmental associations of species with unique ecological niches and distinct behaviors. This in turn hinders our understanding of the ecology as well as effective conservation management of threatened species. The white-eared night heron (Gorsachius magnificus) is a non-migratory nocturnal bird species that has a pa...

We report some surprising recent distributional range extensions of one extant genus and two more families primitive moths discovered in amber fossils from South-east Asia which were previously only known Australia and/or the southwestern Pacific, with possible exception an undescribed Siberian fossil attributed to Lophocoronidae. During entomological field work rain forests central Vietnam a n...

Given that the natural birth ratio is 106 males to 100 females, and that females tend to have longer life expectancies, it is shocking to learn that “more than 100 million girls and women are missing” (Sen, 1990, p. 61). Birth ratios of males and females would predict that there should be more women living today, particularly in Asia (Bunch, 1995). But in some parts of the world, men outnumber ...
