title: Inventaire des moustiques (Diptera : Culicidae) des îles du sud-ouest de l’océan Indien, Madagascar excepté — Une revue critique

description: <b>Inventory of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) of the islands of southwestern Indian Ocean, Madagascar excluded – A Critical Review</b>. The biodiversity of mosquitoes in the islands of southwestern Indian Ocean is the concern of numerous publications. Here, we propose a synthetic inventory and the analysis of the mosquito diversity, based on the available literature. A comprehensive annotated checklist of mosquito species has been recently published on Madagascar; this is the reason why this land is excluded from our work. Studied area encompasses 28 tropical islands in the southern hemisphere: 4 islands in the Comoros archipelago, 5 Scattered Islands (îles Éparses), 5 in Mascarene, 11 in the Seychelles and 3 in the Chagos archipelago. In total, the mosquito list presents 73 valid species, of which 10 are Anophelinae and 63 Culicinae. The number of species that are distributed in these islands only is 19, i.e. 26%, which is a remarkable level for endemism. The richness in mosquito species in these islands is analysed through several aspects including geography, local speciation and natural or human dissemination. This updated inventory increases by 33% the number of known species by regard to the previous inventory published by Julvez & Mouchet in 1994. The historical responsibility of humans in the introduction of new mosquito species in these islands is strongly documented. For instance, the species with the highest distribution among islands are <i>Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus</i> and <i>Culex quinquefasciatus</i>. The islands belong to the afrotropical biogeographic area and, logically, the majority (63%) of mosquito species present phylogenetic affinities with continental Africa and/or Madagascar; interestingly, the number of species present in these islands and in Madagascar but absent in continental Africa is higher than the number of species present in these islands and in continental Africa but absent in Madagascar (respectively 12 and 2 species). Thanks to valuable increase in the sampling effort, our knowledge of the culicidian fauna is increasing in these islands that constitute indisputably hotspots of biodiversity.

title: Supplementary Material for: Association between Toll-Like Receptor 4 T399I Gene Polymorphism and the Susceptibility to Crohn’s Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Case-Control Studies

description: <b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> This article was undertaken to investigate the association of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) polymorphism (Thr399Ile) and risk of Crohn’s disease (CD) by performing a meta-analysis.<b><i> Methods:</i></b> Articles were chosen based on PubMed, Embase, China National Knowledge Internet, and Chinese Wanfang databases (up to 12th October 2016). Specific inclusion criteria were used to evaluate articles. Meta-analysis was performed by using a random or fixed effect model. Fifteen eligible case-control studies were finally included into this meta-analysis. We estimated the summary OR with its corresponding 95% CI to assess the association.<b><i> Results:</i></b> Summary results of this meta-analysis showed a moderate association between the TLR4 T399I polymorphism and the risk of CD (allele model: OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.06–1.50, <i>p</i> = 0.009; heterozygote model: OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.11–1.66, <i>p</i> = 0.003; dominant model: OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.10–1.64, <i>p</i> = 0.004; homozygote model: OR 1.08, 95% CI 0.44–2.64, <i>p</i> = 0.866; recessive model: OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.40–2.35, <i>p</i> = 0.946). Stratified analysis on geographical area, ethnicity, and genotypic methods suggested that the polymorphism was associated with increased risk of CD in Asia and Asians, and “T” allele only moderately increased CD risk within polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragment length polymorphism. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Our meta-analysis suggests that TLR4 T399I polymorphism is moderately associated with susceptibility to CD, and more studies are needed to confirm our conclusion.

title: Timing of mass spawning in corals: potential influence of the coincidence of lunar factors and associated changes in atmospheric pressure from northern and southern hemisphere case studies

description: Synchronised multispecies mass spawning events are striking features of reproduction in corals. This synchronous gamete release of thousands of animals over vast stretches of reef is thought to be cued by rhythms of the Moon. However, the mechanisms are not fully understood. We propose an explanation that may contribute to understanding this mechanism, that spawning is triggered by the coincidence of two factors, each in different lunar rhythms. We investigate this proposal in case studies using seven years of coral spawning data from two locations: Kochi, Japan and Lizard Island, Australia. Our calculations show that a feature in a lunar synodic rhythm (the third quarter) will synchronise with a feature in a lunar non-synodic rhythm (the zero declination) usually once, although occasionally twice in a year. Supported by data on the date of spawning from the two locations, we suggest that this coincidence of lunar factors exerts an important influence on the timing of annual mass spawning in corals. This coincidence may be associated with low atmospheric pressure. Spawning at the time of the third lunar quarter may favour fertilisation success due to the reduced currents during neap tides associated with the lower gravitational pressure of the lunar quarters.

title: Dataset for: Specific Down-regulation of Cystathionine β-synthase Expression in the Kidney during Obesity

description: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is recognized as a novel gasotransmitter involved in the regulation of nervous system, cardiovascular functions, inflammatory response, gastrointestinal system and renal function. Cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) are the major enzymes responsible for H2S production through desulfuration reactions. H2S is reported to play a protective role in both high fat diet (HFD)-induced obese and diabetic mice. However, the synthesizing enzyme involved is not clearly elucidated. The current study was aimed to investigate the regulation of CBS and CSE in different tissues including the kidney, liver and epididymal fat in C57BL/6 mice after a HFD (60% kcal fat) for 24 weeks. The protein and mRNA expression of CBS was specifically decreased in the kidney while CSE remained unchanged, which was further confirmed in db/db mice. In the liver, CSE expression was down-regulated after HFD accompanied with unchanged CBS. Moreover, CSE expression was even up-regulated in epididymal fat. The specific down-regulation of renal CBS may contribute to decreased H2S production, which could be a pathogenic mechanism of obesity. Increased CSE/H2S pathway in epididymal fat possibly resulted in impaired glucose uptake and aggravated insulin resistance. In conclusion, our results revealed that CBS was selectively down-regulated in both diet and gene-induced obesity models.

title: Geology of the Eastern Prebetic Zone at the Jumilla region (SE Iberia)

description: This article presents a geological map and cross-sections at 1:50,000 scale covering an area of 609 km<sup>2</sup> of the Eastern Prebetic Zone (SE Iberia). The structure of the studied area is characterized by an NW-directed fold-and-thrust belt and inactive salt diapirs that are parallel to the ENE- to NE-regional trend of the eastern Betic Cordillera. This regional trend is locally disrupted by the NW-trending Matamoros Basin, which is flanked by the active Jumilla and La Rosa diapirs. The geological map, the cross-sections and the outcrop observations support the hypothesis that the major Mesozoic rifting phase affecting the Eastern Prebetic Zone occurred during the Upper Jurassic to Santonian times coeval to the development of extensional basins in the Western Tethyan area. The proximal part of this passive margin was subsequently incorporated into the external part of the Betic thin-skinned fold-and-thrust belt. The Upper Cretaceous to Cenozoic tectonic evolution of the study area encompassed the following stages: a Campanian to Aquitanian NW-directed contraction; a Burdigalian to upper Miocene extensional reactivation of the main subsalt faults; and a Serravallian NW-directed contractional reactivation. In this scenario, the combined effect of the previous contractional reactivation of pre-existing salt structures together with the Miocene subsalt extension triggered passive salt extrusion of the La Rosa and Jumilla diapirs.

title: Conceptual relations compete during auditory and visual compound word recognition

description: Previous research has shown that compound word recognition involves selecting a relational meaning (e.g. “box for letters” for <i>letterbox</i>) out of a set of competing relational meanings for the same compound. We conducted five experiments to investigate the role of competition between relational meanings across visual and auditory compound word processing. In Experiment 1 conceptual relations judgments were collected for 604 English compound words. From this database we computed an information-theoretic measure of competition between conceptual relations – <i>entropy of conceptual relations</i>. Experiments 2 and 3 report that greater entropy (i.e. increased competition) among a set of conceptual relations leads to longer latencies for compounds in auditory lexical decision. Experiments 4 and 5 demonstrate the same result in two visual lexical decision studies. These findings provide evidence that relational meanings are constructed and evaluated during compound recognition, regardless of whether compounds are recognised via auditory or visual input.

title: Supplementary Recording List from Macroevolutionary patterning of woodpecker drums reveals how sexual selection elaborates signals under constraint

description: Sexual selection drives elaboration in animal displays used for competition and courtship, but this process is opposed by morphological constraints on signal design. How do interactions between selection and constraint shape display evolution? One possibility is that sexual selection continues exaggeration under constraint by operating differentially on each signal component in complex, modular displays. This is seldom studied on a phylogenetic scale, but we address the issue herein by studying macroevolutionary patterning of woodpecker drum displays. These territorial displays are produced when an individual rapidly hits its bill on a hard surface, and drums vary across species in the number of beats included (length) and the rate of drumbeat production (speed). We report that species body size limits drum speed, but not drum length. As a result of this biomechanical constraint, there is less standing variation in speed than length. We also uncover a positive relationship between sexual size dimorphism and the unconstrained trait (length), but with no effect on speed. This suggests that when morphology limits the exaggeration of one component, sexual selection instead exaggerates the unconstrained trait. Modular displays therefore provide the basis for selection to find novel routes to phenotypic elaboration after previous ones are closed.
