title: New materials of the enigmatic dicynodont <i>Abajudon kaayai</i> (Therapsida, Anomodontia) from the lower Madumabisa Mudstone Formation, middle Permian of Zambia

description: Dicynodonts were one of the most diverse and abundant clades of tetrapods from the Lopingian (late Permian) to the Late Triassic. Despite their ecological and biostratigraphic importance, the early evolutionary history of dicynodonts is not well understood. Six skulls belonging to the poorly known dicynodont <i>Abajudon kaayai</i> were recently collected from the Guadalupian (middle Permian) lower Madumabisa Mudstone Formation of Zambia. The skulls exhibit characters of endothiodonts, emydopoids, and basal dicynodonts that are not preserved in the holotype from the Ruhuhu Formation of Tanzania. Here we describe the anatomy of the Zambian specimens and use this information in a revised phylogenetic analysis of Permian and Triassic dicynodonts. <i>Abajudon kaayai</i> is found to be the sister taxon of <i>Endothiodon</i>. Endothiodontia is reconstructed as the sister group of Therochelonia, with Emydopoidea placed at the base of Therochelonia. This phylogenetic arrangement helps to explain the mosaic of endothiodont and emydopoid features seen in <i>A. kaayai</i> and in taxa such as <i>Niassodon</i> and <i>Cryptocynodon</i>. The presence of <i>A. kaayai</i> in both the lower Madumabisa Mudstone and Ruhuhu formations allows for the first biostratigraphic correlation of the two strata. The absence of this species in contemporaneous South African Karoo deposits suggests that the early evolutionary history of endothiodont dicynodonts took place outside of the main Karoo Basin.

title: Taxonomic and geographic differentiation of <i>Juniperus phoenicea agg.</i> based on cone, seed, and needle characteristics

description: The aim of this study was to examine the diversity of, and differentiation between, 41 natural populations representing <i>Juniperus phoenicea</i> complex within their geographic range using the morphological characteristics of cones, seeds, and sprouts with leaves. Seven populations of <i>J</i>. <i>phoenicea s.s</i>., 25 <i>J</i>. <i>turbinata</i> and nine <i>J. canariensis</i>, each represented by ∼20–30 individuals, were studied. The characteristics describing the size of cones and seeds and their proportions were different between <i>J. phoenicea s.s.</i>, <i>J. turbinata</i>, and <i>J. canariensis</i>, and were useful in distinguishing between these three taxa. The populations of <i>J. canariensis</i> had a significantly higher percentage of trimerous cones, a higher number of cone scales, but a lower number of seeds, which were also larger than the seeds from other taxa. <i>Juniperus phoenicea s.s.</i>, <i>J. turbinata</i>, and <i>J. canariensis</i> revealed a high level of multivariate differentiation, but there were no single characteristics which allowed one to distinguish between these alone. We detected significant differences between populations of <i>J. turbinata</i> from Europe and Africa, which supports the role of the Gibraltar Straight in the structuring of conifer species. Significant differences were also detected between European and Asiatic populations in several characters examined, indicating the important role of the Aegean Sea in the structuring of this taxon.

title: How important is embeddedness in predicting Australian speech–language pathologists’ intentions to leave their jobs and the profession?

description: <i>Purpose</i>: This study explored the predictors of the outcomes of turnover and occupation attrition intentions for speech-language pathologists. The researchers examined the mediating effects of job satisfaction and strain on the relationship between stress and the latter outcomes. Additionally, the researchers examined the importance of embeddedness in predicting turnover intentions after accounting for stress, strain and job satisfaction. <i>Method</i>: An online questionnaire was used to explore turnover and attrition intentions in 293 Australian speech–language pathologists. <i>Result</i>: Job satisfaction contributed to a significant indirect effect on the stress and turnover intention relationship, however strain did not. There was a significant direct effect between stress and turnover intention after accounting for covariates. Embeddedness and the perceived availability of alternative jobs were also found to be significant predictors of turnover intentions. The mediating model used to predict turnover intentions also predicted occupation attrition intentions. The effect of stress on occupation attrition intentions was indirect in nature, the direct effect negated by mediating variables. Qualitative data provided complementary evidence to the quantitative model. <i>Conclusion</i>: The findings indicate that the proposed parsimonious model adequately captures predictors of speech–language pathologists’ turnover and occupation attrition intentions. Workplaces and the profession may wish to consider these retention factors.

title: Physiological and transcriptomic analysis of responses to different levels of iron excess stress in various rice tissues

description: Iron (Fe) toxicity is a major nutritional disorder of plants and affects rice yield and production in rainfed and irrigated lowland rice grown in acid soils. Rice plants are reported to have exclusion and inclusion adaptation strategies for preventing damage from excess Fe. However, the molecular mechanisms behind the Fe toxicity response and the identities of the genes involved remain largely unknown. To reveal these mechanisms, we exposed rice plants to different levels of ferrous (Fe<sup>2+</sup>) excess treatment for 14 days and analyzed their growth, bronzing score, and mineral concentrations. Then, gene expression patterns in various tissues (roots, discrimination center [DC], stems, old leaves [OLs], and newest leaves [NLs]) in response to different levels of Fe excess (×1, ×10, ×20, ×50, and ×70 Fe) were examined using microarray analysis. Our results showed that the higher levels of Fe excess led to more Fe being preferentially translocated to OLs, thus avoiding Fe excess damage in the NL. We proposed three zones of Fe excess levels: the non-affected, affected, and dead zones. As an exclusion strategy, Fe uptake- and transport-related genes were suppressed in roots since in the non-affected zone. Roots are important for preventing Fe uptake to the plant body under Fe excess stress. As inclusion strategies, first, some genes highly induced in various tissues under Fe excess, such as <i>OsNAS3, OsVIT2</i>, and rice ferritin genes (<i>OsFers</i>), may be important for detoxification or isolation of excess Fe within the plant body. <i>OsZIPs</i> may contribute to the maintenance of zinc homeostasis. Second, the plant induces the expression of oxygen and electron transfer genes, cytochrome P450 family proteins, or some NAC-type transcription factors to avoid reactive oxygen species and abiotic stress caused by Fe excess in the affected zone. The plant may use similar Fe homeostasis mechanisms in the non-affected and affected zones in the NL and roots but employ different mechanisms in the OL, DC, and stem tissues. Our results will contribute to current screening and breeding efforts, which aim to develop Fe excess tolerance in diverse rice cultivars, thus increasing rice production in lowland fields.

title: Female mate preference for egg-caring males in the giant water bug <i>Diplonychus rusticus</i> (Heteroptera Belostomatidae)

description: Paternal care can be maintained under sexual selection in case that it helps caring males to attract more mates. Females of two back-brooding water bug species, the belostomatids <i>Appasus major</i> and <i>A. japonicus</i>, prefer egg-caring males over non-caring males. Here, we tested under laboratory and field conditions whether females of another belostomatid species, <i>Diplonychus rusticus</i>, prefer egg-caring males as mating partners. Caring males received more eggs from females than non-caring males under the both conditions. Our results suggest that sexual selection plays an important role in maintaining paternal care not only in species of the genus <i>Appasus</i>, but also in the genus <i>Diplonychus</i>.

title: Moving a mountain: Practical insights into mastering a major curriculum reform at a large European medical university

description: <b>Aim:</b> Undergraduate medical education is currently in a fundamental transition towards competency-based programs around the globe. A major curriculum reform implies a dual challenge: the change of the curriculum and the delivering organization. Both are closely interwoven. In this article, we provide practical insights into our approach of managing such a fundamental reform of the large undergraduate medical program at the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin. <b>Methods:</b> Members of the project management team summarized the key features of the process with reference to the literature. <b>Results:</b> Starting point was a traditional, discipline-based curriculum that was reformed into a fully integrated, competency-based program. This change process went through three phases: initiation, curriculum development and implementation, and sustainability. We describe from a change management perspective, their main characteristics, and the approaches that were employed to manage them successfully. <b>Conclusions:</b> Our report is intended to provide practical insights and guidance for those institutions which are yet considering or have already started to undergo a major reform of their undergraduate programs towards competency medical education.
