Dendromus oreas

description: Dendromus oreas Osgood 1936
Dendromus oreas Osgood 1936, Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Zool. Ser., 20: 236.
Type Locality: Cameroon, Southwest Prov., southwest side of Mt Cameroon, 9000 ft (2743 m).
Vernacular Names: Cameroon African Climbing Mouse.
Distribution: Mt Cameroon, Mts Kupe and Manenguba in the massif about 70 mi (113 km) NE Mt Cameroon (Eisentraut, 1963, 1968; Osgood, 1936; Rosevear, 1969), and possibly in mtns of extreme E Cameroon.
Conservation: IUCN – Vulnerable.
Discussion: Although described by Osgood (1936) as a species, oreas was later included in D. mesomelas (Bohmann, 1942; Misonne, 1974; Rosevear, 1969). Study of the holotype supports Osgood’s (1936) view that oreas is related to what he called D. lunaris (= D. nyasae) and is not a geographic outlier of either the montane East African D. insignis or southern African D. mesomelas (see those accounts). Judged from the wide range in molar length that Rosevear (1969:472) recorded for oreas, his Cameroon sample is either extremely variable, which is unusual in the genus, or consists of two species.

description: Steatomys bocagei Thomas 1892
Steatomys bocagei Thomas 1892, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 6, 10: 264.
Type Locality: Angola, Caconda.
Vernacular Names: Bocage's African Fat Mouse.
Synonyms: Steatomys kasaicus Hatt 1934.
Distribution: Moist savannas and woodlands from the Central Plateau of Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998; Hill and Carter, 1941) eastward through NE Angola to SC Dem. Rep. Congo at Luluabourg (= Kananga; type series of kasaicus in AMNH, see Hatt, 1934); eastern limits unresolved.
Discussion: A distinctive species characterized by very large body size and four pairs of teats (pectoral, postaxillary, and two inguinal). Treated as a species by Hill and Carter (1941) and Ellerman et al. (1953), but synonymized with S. pratensis by Coetzee (1977 a) and listed that way in most contemporary faunal accounts. Crawford-Cabral (1998) recognized the specific integrity of bocagei, and explained that it has only four pairs of teats in contrast to S. pratensis with five pairs (sometimes more; see Coetzee, 1977 a). That distinguishing trait, its very large body size compared to S. pratensis from southern and eastern Africa, and study of the large series reported by Hill and Carter (1941) identify a species separate from S. pratensis or the large-bodied S. opimus.
Crawford-Cabral identified the large-bodied Steatomys from NE Angola as S. pratensis kasaicus (teat number not counted); Coetzee (1977 a), however, included kasaicus in bocagei, the correct allocation. Skins in the type series of kasaicus (AMNH 85073, 86080) possess only four pairs of teats; this pattern, their large body and cranial dimensions, and geographic continuity with Angolan populations attest to their identification as S. bocagei. Coetzee claimed intergradation between bocagei and pratensis in the Katanga region of E Dem. Rep. Congo, but no published data supports that contention. Furthermore, typical S. pratensis has been collected in S Angola and those examples exhibit no trace of morphological intergradation with S. bocagei. Relationship with the other large-bodied species of Steatomys — S. jacksoni from West Africa, number of teats unknown; or S. opimus from northern savannas, five or more pairs of teats—awaits resolution. Rosevear (1969) regarded West African S. jacksoni to closely resemble S. bocagei in body size and pelage coloration.

Type Locality: Nigeria, Panyam, 4000 ft (1219 m).
Vernacular Names: Northwestern African Fat Mouse.
Synonyms: Steatomys roseveari Swanepoel and Schlitter 1978.
Distribution: West Africa, Senegal (Duplantier and Granjon, 1992), through S Mali (Meinig, 2000) and Ghana (Grubb et al., 1998), to C Nigeria; range limits unknown.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Listed as a subspecies of S. pratensis by Coetzee (1977 a), but documented as species by Rosevear (1969) and Swanepoel and Schlitter (1978). The relationship between S. caurinus and S. pratensis from southern and East Africa warrants inquiry.

Species Prionomys batesi Dollman 1910
Discussion: Dollman’s (1910) generic description is excellent and highlights its many unique traits among dendromurines. The interorbital and postorbital conformation, shape and size of incisive foramina, and molar patterns are similar to Dendroprionomys. A cladistic analysis based primarily on dental traits excludes Prionomys and Dendroprionomys from dendromurines (Denys et al., 1995), but this hypothesis should be tested with other data.

Distribution: Eastern portion of Southern African Subregion in semidesert regions (mean annual rainfall = 150-500 mm) where sandy plains, short grassy velds, and karroid shrubs on hard substrates predominate; ranges in C and E South Africa (Eastern, Western and Northern Cape Provs., Free State, Northwest Prov.), S Botswana (Smithers, 1971), most of Namibia, and extreme SW Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Reviewed by Skinner and Smithers (1990) and de Graaff (1997 aa). The species is now absent from KwaZulu-Natal in E South Africa but was present until about 60,000 years ago (Avery, 1991). Closely related to the extinct M. makapani, early Pleistocene Swartkrans cave sediments in South Africa (Avery, 1998).

Discussion: A spectacular dendromurine that resembles a giant Dendromus, having derived molar traits that influenced Dieterlen and Rupp (1978) to pose close relationship between Dendromurinae and Murinae. Denys et al. (1995), however, showed Megadendromus to be part of a clade that includes Dendromus, Steatomys, and Malacothrix, but excludes murines.

IMPROVEMENT OF TOMATO COLD TOLERANCE BY DISCOVERING AND ALTERING CONSERVED TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATORS

description: Most studies on molecular aspects of cold tolerance in plants have focused on Arabidopsis, a temperate species well adapted to cold environments. However, many vital global vegetable crops are tropical species (e.g., Tomato), and there is a lack of understanding of their cold tolerance mechanisms. Even mild cold stress, such as chilling (<10°C), can lead to adverse effects in tomato, including chlorosis, reduced leaf expansion, and necrosis. These differential consequences of cold stress between temperate and tropical plants are poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, I compared the cold-responsive genes between Arabidopsis and tomato. Identified conserved early response genes, especially Transcription Factors (TFs), and validated their roles in tomato cold response. By identifying conserved mechanisms, I aimed to enhance tomato cold tolerance through targeted manipulation of regulatory genes. I hypothesized that a TF that consistently responds to cold in both species is an essential regulator of cold tolerance mechanisms, and altering the expression of such TF(s) will improve tomato cold tolerance. In this project, I employed a combination of computational approaches, such as regulatory network inference and molecular techniques like gene editing, to predict and validate the critical TFs that regulate cold response. I identified ~20 TFs that consistently respond to cold in Arabidopsis and tomato. Then, I generated tomato mutant lines using CRISPR/Cas9 and experimentally validated their phenotype using the knockout mutant plants. RNA-Seq was performed using the three cbfs and five additional early cold-responsive TFs mutant lines, and the results are discussed separately in chapters 3 and 4. We concluded that CBFs play a modest role in tomato cold response but a broader role in plant physiology under ambient conditions. Moreover, the regulation of tomato cold response is mediated by a complex network with multiple hubs with overlapping roles. This research enhanced our understanding of plant cold stress response and offered candidate genes/loci for improving the resilience of tropical crops to low temperatures, thereby mitigating yield losses and extending their geographical distribution and growing seasons.

Steatomys cuppedius Thomas and Hinton 1920, Novit. Zool., 27: 318.
Type Locality: Nigeria, Farniso (= Panisau), near Kano, 1700 ft (518 m).
Vernacular Names: Dainty African Fat Mouse.
Distribution: West Africa, in Senegal (Duplantier and Granjon, 1992), NC Nigeria, and SC Niger; range unresolved.
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (nt).
Discussion: Revised by Swanepoel and Schlitter (1978), who regarded cuppedius as a distinct species, as did Rosevear (1969), not a member of S. parvus as per Coetzee (1977 a). Thomas and Hinton (1923 a) thought the holotype of aquilo from EC Sudan was related to S. cuppedius. Whether West African cuppedius represents a separate species or segment of the widely ranging S. parvus has yet to be resolved. Specimens identified as S. cuppedius from SE Ghana by Yeboah (1982 -1988) are examples of Uranomys ruddi (Grubb et al., 1998:189).

Type species.
Mastodonsaurus giganteus Jaeger, 1828.
Diagnosis.
Autapomorphies (Figs 2 – 6): (1) Premaxilla with openings for symphyseal tusks, set well anterior to naris; (2) orbits large, reaching one-fifth of skull length; (3) jugal slender lateral to orbit; (4) parietal elongated anterior to pineal foramen; (5) lateral line sulci very wide; (6) epipterygoid massive and complex, with six distinct processes (footplate, pr. anterior, pr. dorsalis, pr. sphenethmoidalis, pr. basalis, pr. posterior). Characters shared with other capitosaurs: (a) interclavicle with elongated anterior process; (b) elongate postglenoid area; (c) tall hamate process.
Comment.
Character (1) is shared with C. naraserluki and C. mordax (Fraas 1913; Marzola et al. 2017) and also occurs in one specimen of C. robustus (Schoch and Moreno 2024). However, Mastodonsaurus differs from all these in having a more elongated premaxilla anterior to the naris and a more lateral and posterior emplacement of the opening with respect to the anterior snout margin (Schoch and Moreno 2024). Character (4) is shared with metoposaurids, but no other taxon with Capitosauroidea.

Discussion: At least 18 species were recognized (G. M. Allen, 1939; Ellerman, 1941) until Coetzee (1977 a) provisionally acknowledged only three. Based upon study of relevant literature and museum specimens, we identify eight, but relationship between the three West African forms and the five outside that region has yet to be resolved and the widely distributed S. pratensis and S. parvus need systematic revision. Rosevear (1969) provided an excellent exposition of the West African species, and Swanepoel and Schlitter (1978) produced a more comprehensive revision of them. Still, their definitions are unsatisfactory and distributional limits unresolved; Coetzee (1977 a), e.g., included some West African species recognized by Swanepoel and Schlitter (1978) in either S. pratensis or S. parvus. Fossil history extends to the Pliocene (Avery, 1998, 2000; Denys, 1987 a) and late Miocene (Senut et al., 1992).

The relationship between S. jacksoni (females not yet collected) and the other large-bodied species, S. bocagei and S. opimus, needs to be examined.

Synonyms: Steatomys angolensis Hill and Carter 1937; Steatomys bensoni Ansell 1958; Steatomys bradleyi Hill and Carter 1937; Steatomys chiversi Roberts 1931; Steatomys mariae Ansell 1958; Steatomys orangiae Roberts 1929; Steatomys pentonyx (Sclater 1899); Steatomys tongensis Roberts 1931; Steatomys transvaalensis Roberts 1929.
Distribution: Patchy distribution in Southern African Subregion—C and SW Angola (Crawford-Cabral, 1998), NE Namibia (Caprivi Strip and vicinity; specimens in USNM), N Botswana (Smithers, 1971), W Zambia (Ansell, 1978), and South Africa (Western, Eastern and Northern Cape Provs., E Free State, Northwest Prov., and NW KwaZulu-Natal).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: A distinctive small-bodied species with a long tail and small hind feet; reviewed by Coetzee (1977 a), Meester et al. (1986), and Ansell (1978). The holotypes of angolensis and bradleyi (in AMNH) are unproblematic examples of S. krebsii. Populations in KwaZulu-Natal Prov., E South Africa, reviewed by Taylor (1998), who transferred tongensis from S. parvus to S. krebsii. De Graaff (1997 hh) mapped the spotty distribution but suspected that it reflected lack of focused collection.

Steatomys opimus Pousargues 1894, Bull. Soc. Zool. De France, 19: 131.
Type Locality: Central African Republic, near Balao, Dakoas Dist., 05º26'N., 17º40'E.
Vernacular Names: Pousargues African Fat Mouse.
Synonyms: Steatomys gazellae Thomas and Hinton 1923.
Distribution: Moist savanna and forest margins from Cameroon, through S Central African Repbulic and N Dem. Rep. Congo (Faradje and Niangara per AMNH specimens), to extreme SW Sudan.
Discussion: Closely similar to the large-bodied S. bocagei in body and cranial dimensions, but with five pairs of teats (abdominal pair in addition to the other four; AMNH specimens from Faradje and Niangara). Included in S. pratensis by Coatzee (1977 a), but opimus is much larger in body and cranial dimensions than samples from eastern and southern Africa. Hatt (1940 a) redescribed S. opimus as a species based on AMNH series, emphasized traits that distinguish it from other Steatomys, and explained that the holotype of gazellae is another example of it. Status of S. opimus with respect to the large-bodied West African S. jacksoni requires resolution.

Distribution: East and Southern Africa—S and EC Sudan (holotypes of aquilo and thomasi; USNM specimens), S Ethiopia, and Somalia; south through Kenya (Hollister, 1919; specimens in AMNH), Uganda (Delany, 1975; AMNH 119143), and Tanzania (Swynnerton and Hayman, 1951); to SW Angola (Coetzee, 1977 a; Crawford-Cabral, 1998; AMNH 81949), NE Namibia, NW Botswana (Smithers, 1971), W Zambia (Ansell, 1978), and W Zimbabwe (Smithers and Wilson, 1979).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Distribution and conservation status discussed as a savanna woodland species by Mugo et al. (1995). The single Ethiopian record was first listed as S. pratensis (Yalden et al., 1976) and later reidentified as S. parvus (Yalden et al., 1996). Coetzee (1977 a) omitted thomasi from his review; Setzer’s (1956) large type series matches the range of variation in what is now regarded as S. parvus. Coetzee (1977 a) included the holotype and only specimen of aquilo (EC Sudan, Jebel Marra) in S. parvus, although Thomas and Hinton (1923 a) believed it to be related to West African S. cuppedius. Southern African records reviewed and mapped by de Graaff (1997 gg), who included an isolate in KwaZulu-Natal, but Taylor (1998) reallocated those specimens to S. krebsii. Steatomys parvus has not been found south of NE Namibia and NW Botswana, nor have we located any samples between S Sudan and the eastern range limits of West African S. cuppedius (see account).

title: Advanced Computational Framework for Dissecting Gene Regulatory Dynamics in Complex Diseases: Hepatocellular Carcinoma
Creators: name: Li, Jing
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2030

description: The dysregulation of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) is central to the onset and progression of complex diseases. Accurate reconstruction of these networks is critical for understanding disease mechanisms and identifying therapeutic targets. This thesis introduces an innovative computational framework that integrates Bayesian Networks (BNs) with copula entropy (CE) to model and dissect GRNs, capturing both probabilistic relationships and multidimensional dependencies among gene expressions.

Hypothesizing that integrating BNs and CE can enhance the reconstruction and analysis of GRNs, this framework was applied to identify and characterize disease-specific GRNs in complex diseases, such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). By analysing high-throughput omics data, 12 pivotal regulatory genes and metabolism-related core subnetworks that significantly diverge in disease states compared to healthy controls were identified. This exploration of GRN alterations provides insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying disease phenotypes, especially their roles in disease pathogenesis, progression, and response to treatment.

The integration of dysregulated GRNs in HCC with single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data facilitated the construction of a dynamic network model. This model allows for the simulation of gene knockout and overexpression effects on the overall GRN, identifying key genes such as E2F3, KLF6, and ZNF331 that drive cell fate and pathogenicity. The dynamic GRN model offers an in-depth perspective on the molecular mechanics driving tumorigenesis and identifies potential therapeutic intervention points.

Our comprehensive analysis of glycolysis-associated genes involved in HCC development identified two HCC glycolysis-related subtypes with significant differences in immune infiltration and prognosis. Additionally, five potential biomarkers, namely GYS2, SLC2A1, KIF20A, DPYSL4, and STC2, were discovered, leading to the establishment of a risk model for HCC prognosis prediction.

Overall, this thesis advances from static to dynamic analyses of GRNs, enhancing our understanding of disease mechanisms. The adaptability of this framework for various diseases exemplifies a significant leap in systems biology, providing a refined toolkit for exploring gene interactions within extensive regulatory networks. This work offers novel insights and therapeutic avenues for complex diseases such as cancer, fostering the development of more effective, personalized medical interventions.

Steatomys pratensis Peters 1846, Bericht Verhandl. K. Preuss. Akad. Wiss. Berlin, 11: 258.
Type Locality: Mozambique, Zambezi River, Tete.
Vernacular Names: Common African Fat Mouse.
Synonyms: Steatomys edulis Peters 1852; Steatomys leucorhynchus Hill and Carter 1937; Steatomys maunensis Roberts 1932; Steatomys natalensis Roberts 1929; Steatomys nyasae Lawrence and Loveridge 1953.
Distribution: Southern and East Africa—S Angola (Carter and Hill, 1941) and N Namibia; eastward through N Botswana (Smithers, 1971), Zimbabwe (Smithers and Wilson, 1979), N South Africa (Limpopo, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, and N KwaZulu-Natal; de Graaff, 1997 ff; Taylor, 1998), and Mozambique (Smithers and Lobao Tello, 1976); north through Zambia (Ansell, 1978), Malawi (Ansell and Dowsett, 1988; Chitaukali et al., 2001; Lawrence and Loveridge, 1953), and Tanzania (AMNH material) to EC Ethiopia (Demeter, 1982).
Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).
Discussion: Formerly included bocagei and opimus (see those accounts). Demeter (1982) identified the lone Ethiopian record (Sabober Plains, Awash National Park) as S. pratensis because of their large skull size compared with S. parvus; his range of values match those for S. pratensis in the AMNH, not the larger S. opimus which occurs no closer than extreme SW Sudan. Although leucorhynchus is usually included in S. krebsii (Coetzee, 1977 a; Meester et al., 1986), Crawford-Cabral (1998) provisionally recognized it as a species because relative ear length of the holotype (Angola, Capelongo) is more similar to S. pratensis; he also suggested that leucorhynchus may prove to be another geographic sample of the latter. After studying the holotype of leucorhynchus and others from Capelongo (AMNH 85815, 85816, 86976) in S Angola, we agree with that assessment. We have not seen material between Ethiopia and the West African S. caurinus; that region is mostly occupied by the much larger-bodied S. opimus. Identified from the early Pleistocene of South Africa based on isolated molars (Avery, 1998).

description: Anodontophora gen. nov.
Type species: Anodontophora tuvensis sp. nov.
Diagnosis. Body pigmented, cylindrical, relatively short and robust, without anal spines. All abdominal segments well defined. Dorsal side of body with dorsomedial, lateral and ventral pseudocelli. Pseudocelli well chitinised. Dorsal posterior cephalic pseudocelli present. Parapseudocelli absent. Furca functional, with a fully developed with mucro. Subapical organite present. Antennal III sense organ composed of 4 guard setae and 5 papillae. PAO absent. Type O labial palp with 9 proximal setae (Fig. 7). Head of maxilla typical with short and not modified lamellae, slightly projecting above well developed three-toothed ungulum. Dorsal chaetotaxy of plurichaetotic type. Dorsal setae poorly differentiated into sticklike and apically rounded macro- and mesosetae and apically pointed microsetae. Body sensilla not marked. Tibiotarsal distal whorl with 11 setae.
Etymology. The genus name refers to the lack of anal spines.
Discussion. Anodontophora gen. nov. belongs in the subfamily Tetrodontophorinae because of the presence of a functional jumping apparatus, pigmented body, increased number of proximal setae (to 9) on the labial palp, and the typical structure of the head of maxillae. The new genus is characterized by the absence of postantennal organ and a cylindrical body shape. The two related genera, Tetrodontophora and Homaloproctus, have the postantennal organ and their body is distinctly flattened dorsoventrally with a sharp lateral edge. In addition, the genus Tetrodontophora is characterized by the presence of anal spines and spine-like appendages at the posterolateral edges of abdominal segment V. The genus Homaloproctus is distinguishable by the lack of anal spines and the autapomorphic presence of 6 small papillae on the antenna tip and a group of distally clubbed setae on the dorsal side of tibiotarsus.
