OSMEROIDES SP.
FIG. 5E
Material— three specimens, specimen figured, DMNH 2021-09- 05.
Description and Remarks— The three small specimens assigned to Osmeroides are slightly oval shaped (sensu Smale et al. 1995) with a somewhat irregular dorsal margin and mostly smooth ventral margin. The dorsal field is much smaller than the ventral field. There is a heterosulcoid-type sulcus that is located primarily supramedially with a very slight downturn at the posterior of the slanted cauda. The inner face is convex, while the outer face is concave. The Arkadelphia specimens are similar to the Osmeroides sp. described and illustrated from the Ripley Formation in northeastern Mississippi by Stringer et al. (2020). Due to their small size and poor preservation, the assignment is tenuous, and a species determination is not possible.

X-ray Crystallography

description: X-ray crystallography is a useful technique for exploring the atomic and molecular structure of a target crystal, in which the crystalline atoms produce a bunch of X-rays to diffract a number of particular orientations. A crystallographer enables to generate a three-dimensional (3D) drawing of the density of electrons within the crystal, through determining the angles and intensities of these diffracted beams. Based on this electron density, the average positions of the atoms in the crystal can be determined, with their chemical bonds, their disorder as well as a variety of others information. X-ray crystallography has become one of the most favorite tools for structure determination of biological macromolecules and proteins, aiding fragment-based screening. Moreover, the validity of a protein structure is capable of offering a more particular focus for future research.

FIG. 5F
Material— six specimens, specimen figured, DMNH 2021-09- 6.
Description and Remarks— Distinguishing characteristics of Anguilla? chickasawae include a somewhat oval to ovate shape in well preserved specimens (sensu Smale et al. 1995) with a H/L ratio of approximately 66%, a convex inner face, a narrow, almost horizontal sulcus with a poorly-defined ostium and cauda. The posterior margin is commonly almost vertical. Stringer et al. (2020, fig. 5A–E) originally described A.? chickasawae from the Ripley Formation (Maastrichtian) of Mississippi. Anguilla? chickasawae differs from other Late Cretaceous or Paleogene anguillid otoliths by its much longer ostium. Schwarzhans and Stringer (2020a) postulated that A.? chickasawae could represent a fossil genus of the Anguillidae or a closely related fossil family of which otoliths are not known presently.

Small-Angle X-ray and Neutron Scattering

description: Small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS) measurements are theoretically simple. The essential principles of them are semblable in light scattering, which is commonly applied in biological and pharmaceutical labs to measure the size distribution of formulations with particles in the submicron domain. SANS is an important technique utilizing elastic neutron scattering at small scattering angles to study the structure of a variety of substances at a mesoscopic scale. SAXS experiment is uncomplicated: a sample is kindled by X-rays, and the scattered radiation is recorded by a detector. As the SAXS determinations are done extremely close to the primary beam ("small angles"), the technique immensely benefits from the brilliance of X-ray photon beams offered by particle accelerators. SAXS and SANS can almost meet the requirements of researching large macromolecular complexes which can finish numerous crucial cellular functions. Small-angle scattering (SAS) offers information about the integrated structure and structural transformation of natural biological macromolecules in solutions at a very low resolution (1-2 nm).

FIG. 5G
Material— 11 specimens, specimen figured, DMNH 2021-09- 07.
Description and Remarks— These otoliths tend to be primarily circular in shape (sensu Smale et al. 1995). The nearly straight to slightly outwardly curved posterodorsal margin produces a discernible angle. The otolith is thick with mainly smooth margins. The inner face is strongly convex and smooth with a deep sulcus. The sulcus has a long, narrow, and deep cauda, while the ostium is much shorter and shallower. The outer face is flat and relatively smooth. Schwarzhans(2003) originally classified Echiophis semisphaeroides in the family Anguillidae. However, Schwarzhans (2019) illustrated the modern Echiophis brunneus Castro-Aguirre and Suárez de los Cobos (1983), and examination of the specimen has shown a great similarity in convexity and smoothness of the inner face as well as the shape and depth of the sulcus. There are three extant species of Echiophis known from tropical and subtropical America. Modern ophichthid otoliths illustrate significant variability and are still not understood well. In fact, it is often difficult to assign fossil otoliths to genera with very much confidence. However, Schwarzhans and Stringer (2020a) believed that the similarity was significant compared to other known anguilliform otoliths and changed the species to the family Ophichthidae.

mRNA Therapeutics Development
Creators: name: Bella Smith
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Introduction to mRNA Therapeutics
mRNA is usually created during the process of in vitro transcription (IVT) of various linearized pDNAs or PCR products. It is composed of a promoter domain (5' cap), 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs), an open reading frame (ORF), as well as a poly(A) sequence. In general, the modification of UTR and ORF sequences can strongly improve the efficiency of mRNA synthesis. Meanwhile, the poly(A) sequence and 5' cap play an important role in mediating the process of mRNA translation. IVT mRNA is capable of regulating the activation of innate immunity. Furthermore, pilot studies have shown that IVT mRNA delivery can be achieved by both in vitro and in vivo transfection assays. The results have indicated that these methods can deliver enough target cells to trigger strong immune responses against various human diseases, such as malignant tumors.

Diagnosis. Female. Body length 9.0– 9.6 mm. Metasomal tergum 2 in basal half with two small spots of golden setae disposed transversely, distance between equal diameter of spot. Metasomal tergum 5 wholly and tergum 6 basally with black setae. Male. Unknown, possibly Zeugomutilla pycnopyga Chen, 1957 is the opposite sex of Z. saepes (see Lelej 1992: 284).
Material examined. Other material. Cambodia: Siem Reap, Phnom Bakheng, IX.2006 (Daniel R. Jump), 2♀ [RBINS]; China: Guangdong, Guangzhou, 9.vi.1990 (A. Lelej), 1♀ [IBSS]; Dinghushan National Nature Reserve, 11–12.viii.2005, (Liqiong Weng & Zaifu Xu),1 $, 2015000383 [SCAU]; Thailand: Chaiyaphum, Pa Hin Ngam NP, dry dipterocarp, 15o38.099”N 101o23.921’E, 698 m, 24–30.viii.2006 (Katae Sa-nog & Buakaw Adnafai), Malaise trap, T451, 1♀ [QSBG].
Distribution. Cambodia (new record) (Siem Reap), China (Fujian, Guangdong), Thailand (new record) (Chaiyaphum).
Remarks. The holotype of Zeugomutilla saepes has been collected by Prof. Tsing-Chao Maa in Fujian [former Fukien], Shaowu, Ku Hsien Kai and paratype in Chungan [Wuyishan], "Bohea Hills", Fujian. We hope that eventually the problem concerning the sex combination of two Zeugomutilla species from China will be solved after study of additional material. The specimens from Cambodia (Fig. 36) have the second metasomal tergum with larger setal spots and may eventually be associated with Z. angkorensis Williams, sp. nov., which has also been collected in Siem Reap Province of Cambodia.

description: Current diversity and species composition of ecological communities can often not exclusively be explained by present land use and landscape structure. Historical land use may have considerably influenced ecosystems and their properties for decades and centuries.

We analysed the effects of present and historical landscape structure on plant and arthropod species richness in temperate grasslands, using data from comprehensive plant and arthropod assessments across three regions in Germany and maps of current and historical land cover from three time periods between 1820 and 2016.

We calculated local, grassland class and landscape scale metrics for 150 grassland plots. Class and landscape scale metrics were calculated in buffer zones of 100 to 2000 m around the plots. We considered effects on total species richness as well as on the richness of species subsets determined by taxonomy and functional traits related to habitat use, dispersal and feeding.

Overall, models containing a combination of present and historical landscape metrics showed the best fit for several functional groups. Comparing three historical time periods, data from the 1820/50s was among the most frequent significant time periods in our models (29.7% of all significant variables).

Our results suggest that the historical landscape structure is an important predictor of current species richness across different taxa and functional groups. This needs to be considered to better identify priority sites for conservation and to design biodiversity-friendly land use practices that will affect landscape structure in the future.

description: MURAENANGUILLA? SP.
FIG. 5H
Material— two worn, broken specimens, specimen figured, DMNH 2021-09-08.
Description and Remarks— The Muraenanguilla? specimens from the Arkadelphia Formation are oval in shape (sensu Smale et al. 1995) with a H/L ratio of approximately 66%. The convex inner face has a fairly deep, moderately narrow sulcus. It is difficult to differentiate the ostium and cauda. The dorsal margin tends to be irregularly curved, while the ventral margin appears to be smooth and regularly curved. These specimens resemble Muraenanguilla unionensis Schwarzhans and Stringer (2020b), which is known from the Ripley and Owl Creek formations (Maastrichtian) of Mississippi (Stringer et al. 2020). Unfortunately, the specimens are not preserved well enough to make any definitive identification. The genus is also known from the Paleogene of Europe (Schwarzhans 2019), the Upper Cretaceous Coon Creek type locality in Tennessee (Stringer 2016b), and the upper Maastrichtian Severn Formation in Maryland (Huddleston and Savoie 1983, Stringer and Schwarzhans 2021).

FIG. 6A
Material— two eroded, but diagnostic, specimens, specimen figured, DMNH 2021-09-9.
Description and Remarks— The sagitta of Kokenichthys navis has several diagnostic features including its very unusual sulcus, which is located almost entirely dorsally. The shape is mainly oval (sensu Smale et al. 1995) with smooth margins. The ventral margins are fairly sharp, and there is a rostrum. The convex inner face has a broad sulcus that appears very shallow and easily eroded. Other specimens of K. navis show similar erosion (see fig. 6 A in Stringer et al. 2020, on the specimens from the Ripley and Owl Creek formations of Mississippi). However, the other specimens in Stringer et al. (2020, fig. 6C–F) are much better preserved, and the ostial and caudal regions are clearly visible. In addition to the Arkadelphia Formation in Arkansas, K.navis is known from the Ripley Formation in Mississippi and possibly in the Tar Heel Formation in North Carolina (Stringer et al. 2018). The species is very abundant in the Ripley Formation at the Blue Springs locality in northeastern Mississippi with 69 specimens (Stringer et al. 2020).

Distribution: Europe (including European Russia and westernmost Turkey) and North Africa (Algeria, probably also Morocco and Tunisia) (Fig. 20).
This is a highly variable taxon that to date has been considered a separate species apart from R. insubricus (with its three subspecies), R. siculus and the newly described R. boreki sensu e.g. Danilevsky (2019a). Consequently, there was a difficult taxonomic situation, and many issues with both problematic specimens that show intermediate characters (and also probably some hybrids) and with determining the distribution of particular species in Europe, especially in countries such as Italy, France, Hungary and Greece. Other issues concern some described varieties, e.g. annulus and vogti, that were transferred between the taxa R. ungaricus and R. insubricus (Sama, 2002).
Therefore, all European populations are reduced to subspecific level under this species. The following subspecies are proposed herein, with the specified distribution.

ARIUS? SUBTILIS SCHWARZHANS AND BRATISHKO, 2011
FIG. 6C
Material— one well preserved specimen, DMNH 2021-09-11.
Description and Remarks— Arius? subtilis is represented by the utricular otolith or lapillus rather than the sagitta. The lapillus is oval in outline (sensu Smale et al. 1995) and has characteristically smooth margins except for one diagnostic projection. It is typically plano-convex and usually fairly thin. The flat side often has radial growth lines visible, especially in eroded specimens. In some specimens, a very lightly impressed sulcal area may be visible on the convex side. Arius? subtilis was first identified in the Paleocene of the Ukraine by Schwarzhans and Bratishko (2011) and is fairly common in the early Paleocene of Europe (Schwarzhans 2012). It is also known from the Clayton Formation (early Paleocene) of the USA (Schwarzhans and Stringer 2020a). However, its range was extended to the Late Cretaceous when it was reported from the Ripley and Owl Creek formations of Mississippi (Stringer et al. 2020), where it was abundant (125 specimens from the two formations). It also occurs in the Coon Creek Formation in Tennessee (as Ariidae indeterminate in Stringer 2016b) and in the Kemp Clay (upper Maastrichtian) of northeast Texas, where it was very abundant with 195 specimens (Schwarzhans and Stringer 2020a). The rarity of Arius? subtilis in the stratigraphically equivalent Arkadelphia Formation is enigmatic.
