title: The Eocene sardine †<i>Bolcaichthys catopygopterus</i> (Woodward, 1901) from Monte Bolca, Italy: osteology, taxonomy, and paleobiology

description: ABSTRACTClupeid fishes are abundant in the Eocene fossiliferous limestone of Monte Bolca, representing by far the most common group from this celebrated locality. However, despite of their abundance, the clupeid fishes from Monte Bolca have seldom been investigated. An analysis of about 300 well-preserved clupeid specimens from Monte Bolca housed in several institutions clearly indicates that more than 95% of the available material belongs to different developmental stages of a single taxon, traditionally referred to as †<i>Clupea catopygoptera</i> Woodward. †<i>Bolcaichthys</i>, a new genus of clupeid fish, erected to contain †<i>Clupea catopygoptera</i> Woodward from the Eocene of Monte Bolca, Italy, is described and compared with extant and fossil genera of the family Clupeidae. This new genus shows a unique combination of characters (head length approximately one third to one quarter standard length; skull roof with 10–14 frontoparietal striae; mouth terminal; two supramaxillae; edentulous jaws and palate; complete series of about 20–22 abdominal keeled scutes with ascending arms; no dorsal scutes; five or six branchiostegal rays; eight supraneurals; 40–42 vertebrae and 20–22 pleural ribs; three epurals) supporting its recognition as a new genus of the family Clupeidae. Paleobiological considerations suggest that the presence of a very large number of schooling clupeids belonging to the genus †<i>Bolcaichthys</i> at all stages of development (larval, juvenile, and adult) support the hypothesis that the sediments were deposited close to the coast in a context subject to the ecological influence of the open sea.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:9B9A5490-D543-4ECC-9A74-1305BDC2F764SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVPCitation for this article: Marramà, G., and G.

title: First North American occurrence of the toothed pteranodontoid pterosaur <i>Cimoliopterus</i>

description: ABSTRACTA new pterosaur species, <i>Cimoliopterus dunni</i>, sp. nov., is described based on a partial rostrum from the upper Cenomanian Britton Formation in the Eagle Ford Group of north-central Texas. The holotype preserves alveoli for a minimum of 26 upper teeth and bears a thin premaxillary crest that begins above the fourth pair of alveoli. The rostrum, characterized by a slight lateral flare, lacks the pronounced lateral expansion found in ornithocheirids and anhanguerids. The tip of the snout is small and blunt, and the anterior face of the rostrum is oriented posteroventrally, forming an approximately 45° angle with the anterior portion of the palate. The anteroventrally oriented first pair of alveoli is directed more ventrally than anteriorly. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that <i>Cimoliopterus dunni</i> and <i>Cimoliopterus cuvieri</i>, from the Cenomanian Grey Chalk Subgroup in Kent, England, are basal pteranodontoids that are closely related to <i>Aetodactylus halli</i> from the middle Cenomanian Tarrant Formation of north Texas. <i>Cimoliopterus dunni</i> marks only the second known occurrence of <i>Cimoliopterus</i>, extending its geographic range from Europe to North America. In conjunction with <i>Coloborhynchus wadleighi</i> from the upper Albian Pawpaw Formation, <i>Cimoliopterus dunni</i> provides unambiguous evidence of biogeographic linkages between the pterosaur faunas of North America and Europe in the middle Cretaceous.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:50FDA47D-0E2D-4B6E-9A18-8F04F814CE62SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVPCitation for this article: Myers, T.

title: Caffeine fostering of mycoparasitic fungi against phytopathogens

description: Caffeine (1,3,7-trimethixanthine) is a typical purine alkaloid produced in more than 80 plant species. Its biological role is considered to strengthen plant's defense capabilities, directly as a toxicant to biotic attackers (allelopathy) and indirectly as an activator of defense system (priming). Caffeine is actively secreted into rhizosphere through primary root, and possibly affects the structure of microbe community nearby. The fungal community in coffee plant rhizosphere is enriched with particular species, including <i>Trichoderma</i> family, a mycoparasite that attacks and kills phytopathogens by coiling and destroying their hyphae. In the present study, the caffeine response of 8 filamentous fungi, 4 mycoparasitic <i>Trichoderma</i>, and 4 prey phytopathogens, was examined. Results showed that allelopathic effect of caffeine on fungal growth and development was differential, being stronger on pathogens than on <i>Trichoderma</i> species. Upon confronting, the prey immediately ceased the growth, whereas the predator continued to grow, indicating active mycoparasitism to have occurred. Caffeine enhanced mycoparasitism up to 1.7-fold. Caffeine thus functions in a double-track manner against fungal pathogens: first by direct suppression of growth and development, and second by assisting their natural enemy. These observations suggest that caffeine is a powerful weapon in the arms race between plants and pathogens by fostering enemy's enemy, and we propose the idea of "caffeine fostering" as the third role of caffeine.

title: Facile Synthesis of 4-Oxo-4<i>H</i>-quinolizine-2-carboxamide Derivatives

description: A facile synthetic method for the construction of 2-substituted-4-oxo-4H-quinolizine based core structure has been successfully developed. The synthesis made use of a one pot Stobbe condensation followed by cyclisation starting from the commercially available 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde. The structure of the formed 4-oxo-4H-quinolizine-2-carboxylate was fully confirmed by MS, <sup>1</sup>H NMR, <sup>13</sup>C NMR, COSY, HMBC and HSQC spectra. The ethyl carboxylate moiety was then further functionalized via direct aminolysis by a range of amines to afford the corresponding 4-oxo-4H-quinolizine-2-carboxamides <b>4a-i</b> in moderate to good yields.

title: Key beliefs influencing young drivers’ engagement with social interactive technology on their smartphones: A qualitative study

description: <b>Objective:</b> The main aim of this study was to identify young drivers’ underlying beliefs (i.e., behavioral, normative, and control) regarding initiating, monitoring/reading, and responding to social interactive technology (i.e., functions on a Smartphone that allow the user to communicate with other people). <b>Method:</b> This qualitative study was a beliefs elicitation study in accordance with the theory of planned behavior and sought to elicit young drivers’ behavioral (i.e., advantages, disadvantages), normative (i.e., who approves, who disapproves), and control beliefs (i.e., barriers, facilitators) that underpin social interactive technology use while driving. Young drivers (<i>N</i> = 26) aged 17 to 25 years took part in an interview or focus group discussion. <b>Results:</b> Though differences emerged between the 3 behaviors of initiating, monitoring/reading, and responding for each of the behavioral, normative, and control belief categories, the strongest distinction was within the behavioral beliefs category (e.g., communicating with the person that they were on the way to meet was an advantage of initiating; being able to determine whether to respond was an advantage of monitoring/reading; and communicating with important people was an advantage of responding). Normative beliefs were similar for initiating and responding behaviors (e.g., friends and peers more likely to approve than other groups) and differences emerged for monitoring/reading (e.g., parents were more likely to approve of this behavior than initiating and responding). For control beliefs, there were differences between the beliefs regarding facilitators of these behaviors (e.g., familiar roads and conditions facilitated initiating; having audible notifications of an incoming communication facilitated monitoring/reading; and receiving a communication of immediate importance facilitated responding); however, the control beliefs that presented barriers were consistent across the 3 behaviors (e.g., difficult traffic/road conditions). <b>Conclusion:</b> The current study provides an important addition to the extant literature and supports emerging research that suggests that initiating, monitoring/reading, and responding may indeed be distinct behaviors with different underlying motivations.

title: Ecology Lab Four

description: Authors: Kamil Adamczewski, Joelle Brooker, Brittney Jorisch, and Karin Yosefi On October 15, 2015 between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. and October 22, 2015 between 3:09 and 3:55 p.m., fifty random, separate adult maple trees were studied. Trees were determined as adult if their height was greater than our tallest group member, i.e. over 5 feet and 10 inches tall. First, the diameter of the target tree was determined by using a transect to measure the diameter at breast hight, and this was recorded in cm. Abundance was the second variable measured. Two transects, each measuring 3 m long, were laid out to form a quadrat. One was laid out vertically and one horizontally, to form an L shape. They were placed strategically so that the target tree was in the middle of the transects. The quantity of vegetation was then determined by manually counting the plants that were contained in the quadrat. Plants were only included in the count if their roots were still in the earth. The percent canopy cover was then determined by making a square with the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, holding the square up to the top of the target tree, and looking through it and estimating the percentage of area that the parts of the tree took up (i.e. the leaves and branches). The purpose of this observation was to determine if there is a relationship between growth of a tree (measured in terms of diameter of the trunk), the density surrounding the tree (measured in terms of abundance of vegetation), and how much sunlight the tree had access to (measured in terms of % canopy cover). On October 15, it was -11 degrees Celcius, and was cloudy, rainy and very windy. On October 22, it was 13 degrees Celcius, sunny and slightly windy, with a few clouds. Trees were studied in the Danby Woodlots, on the north-east side of York University, Keele Campus.

title: BIOL2050 WK6 and WK7

description: The first dataset for the BIOL2050 design lab was conducted in the Osgoode Woodlot on Tuesday October 13, 2015 between 2:45 and 4:45 PM with windy, damp and cloudy weather and a temperature of about 14 degrees Celsius. The second dataset for this lab was conducted in the Boyer Woodlot on Tuesday October 20, 2015 between 2:45 and 4:45 with windy and rainy weather with a temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius. The objective of this experiment was to test whether there is a correlation between the amount of canopy coverage and the abundance of arthropods present underneath that canopy cover. This experiment was conducted by E.Chau, S.Govindaswamy, S.Lam and A. Riyat. First for dataset 1, an area with a low canopy cover (0-35%) was identified. The canopy coverage in the area was determined by standing at the base of the tree and glancing up towards sky and looking through a rectangle you make by joining the index and thumb from both hands. The amount of foliage that made up your field of view through the rectangle in comparison to open sky was given a percent value (ex. Half sky and half foliage was given a 50% canopy coverage value). Once an area was found, five red, five yellow and five where pans where laid out underneath the coverage area and filled with soap water. Following this, an area with medium canopy cover (35-65%) and an area with high canopy cover (65-100%) were identified and five pan traps of each of the three colors where laid out. The pan traps where collected after two hours and the results recorded. The same steps where repeated at a different location a week later for dataset 2.

title: Measuring insect abundance relative to distance from pond water & plant density

description: The purpose of this experiment was to observe the effect of distance from a water source (pond water) and plant density on insect abundance. This field study took place over a span of two weeks. It was conducted in the grassland area of York University's Keele Campus nearby the pond. Our group was split based on measuring at various distance intervals from the pond. Using transects, we measured up to 20 metres away from the pond. At various intervals (1 metre, 10 metres and 20 metres), group members placed quadrats on the grassland surface, and noted the insect abundance and plant density inside the quadrat. Exactly 20 quadrat measurements were taken at each distance interval (for a total of 60 quadrat measurements), each one spaced 1 metre apart within their respective distance intervals, where the process detailed above was repeated. The data was compiled into chart form, and the results displayed increased plant density, and thus greater insect abundance the further away from the pond water.
