title: The postcranial skeleton of <i>Galecyon</i>: evidence for morphological and locomotor diversity in early Hyaenodontidae (Mammalia, Hyaenodontida)

description: ABSTRACTHyaenodontidae is a diverse component of the carnivorous guild in early Eocene (Wasatchian) North American mammalian faunas. Although there have been suggestions that early members of the family had diverse locomotor repertoires, few Wasatchian postcrania are adequately described. Here we describe the first known postcranial remains of the rare Wasatchian hyaenodontid <i>Galecyon</i>, based principally on a well-preserved partial skeleton from the Willwood Formation, Wyoming. <i>Galecyon</i> is reconstructed as a 5.2–7.9 kg terrestrial carnivore. Small but significant differences throughout the skeleton distinguish <i>Galecyon</i> from <i>Prolimnocyon</i>. <i>Galecyon</i> is reconstructed as scansorial/generalized terrestrial because these postcranial differences consistently indicate a more terrestrial habit than in the scansorial <i>Prolimnocyon</i>. Among other hyaenodontids, <i>Arfia</i> shows evidence for parallel terrestrial adaptation, whereas <i>Pyrocyon</i> is morphologically intermediate between <i>Galecyon</i> and <i>Prolimnocyon</i>. Manipulation of the well-preserved bones forming the crurotarsal joint of <i>Galecyon</i> provides evidence that contradicts a previous proposal that <i>Arfia</i>, another Wasatchian hyaenodontid, was capable of hind foot reversal. In both genera, movements at the crurotarsal joint were largely restricted to a parasagittal plane. Phylogenetic analysis of a new postcranial character set supports a pattern of relationships for early Eocene hyaenodontids different from that supported by dental morphology. Combining the two data partitions favors most aspects of the dental topology, but the conflict between dental and postcranial data indicates that confident phylogenetic resolution can be elusive, even with relatively dense sampling.

title: Interindividual methylomic variation across blood, cortex, and cerebellum: implications for epigenetic studies of neurological and neuropsychiatric phenotypes

description: Given the tissue-specific nature of epigenetic processes, the assessment of disease-relevant tissue is an important consideration for epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS). Little is known about whether easily accessible tissues, such as whole blood, can be used to address questions about interindividual epigenomic variation in inaccessible tissues, such as the brain. We quantified DNA methylation in matched DNA samples isolated from whole blood and 4 brain regions (prefrontal cortex, entorhinal cortex, superior temporal gyrus, and cerebellum) from 122 individuals. We explored co-variation between tissues and the extent to which methylomic variation in blood is predictive of interindividual variation identified in the brain. For the majority of DNA methylation sites, interindividual variation in whole blood is not a strong predictor of interindividual variation in the brain, although the relationship with cortical regions is stronger than with the cerebellum. Variation at a subset of probes is strongly correlated across tissues, even in instances when the actual level of DNA methylation is significantly different between them. A substantial proportion of this co-variation, however, is likely to result from genetic influences. Our data suggest that for the majority of the genome, a blood-based EWAS for disorders where brain is presumed to be the primary tissue of interest will give limited information relating to underlying pathological processes. These results do not, however, discount the utility of using a blood-based EWAS to identify biomarkers of disease phenotypes manifest in the brain. We have generated a searchable database for the interpretation of data from blood-based EWAS analyses (http://epigenetics.essex.ac.uk/bloodbrain/).

title: A barcode analysis of the genus <i>Lobophora</i> (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) in the western Atlantic Ocean with four novel species and the epitypification of <i>L. variegata</i> (J.V. Lamouroux) E.C. Oliveira

description: In the western Atlantic Ocean, the brown algal genus <i>Lobophora</i> is currently represented by a single species, <i>L. variegata</i>, with a type locality designated by Lamouroux as ‘Antilles’. In this study, we used molecular-assisted alpha taxonomy (MAAT) to assess species diversity of <i>Lobophora</i> in Bermuda, the Florida Keys, St. Croix and Guadeloupe (Lesser Antilles). Using <i>cox</i>1 and <i>cox</i>3 sequences as barcode markers, five species of <i>Lobophora</i>, four of them novel, were delineated, all previously having been identified in the area as <i>L. variegata</i>. Our morphological and habitat studies, made possible by abundant sampling, have revealed unique characters for each of these western Atlantic species, including distinct cellular arrangements, as well as different depth ranges for certain species. Observations made from Lamouroux’s holotype of <i>Dictyota variegata</i> (= <i>Lobophora variegata</i>) allowed us to assess the anatomy of this species, which enabled us to easily align this early taxon to one of our genetic species from the western Atlantic. As the type was unavailable for genetic analysis, we selected a recent St. Croix (Virgin Is., Antilles) specimen as the epitype to support it with molecular sequence data.
