BACKGROUND Using syntactic and semantic conventions of the taxonomic concept approach (Franz et al. 2015), we describe three newly recognized fossil broad-nosed weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae) preserved in Early Miocene amber (ca. 20.4-16.0 mya) from the Dominican Republic: Scelianoma compactasp. n. sec. Franz & Zhang (2017) (henceforth abbreviated as [FZ2017]), Tropirhinus palpe...

Franz Josef Kallmann studied the biological and genetic factors of psychological disorders in Germany and the United States in the twentieth century. His studies at the New York State Psychiatric Institute in New York City, New York, focused on the genetic factors that cause psychiatric disorders. Kallmann was one of the first to use twins to study how a mental disorder is passed on by comparin...

Strong-field phenomena are a driving force behind the latest innovations in ultrafast science. As ultrafast laser sources improve in terms of peak pulse energy and wavelength tunability, applications that utilize high peak electromagnetic field strengths to generate attosecond pulses of both photons and electrons are becoming readily available. Furthermore, through the coupling of these optical...

There are different amounts of cognition involved in navigation when considering different species and different goals. This starts with simple aiming and obstacle avoidance already present in one-cell organisms, over route-following for example in insects, to high-level survey navigation which includes both topological and metric information. A useful categorisation of these different skill le...
