title: Description of new sand-dwelling Rhynchothorax species (Pycnogonida, Rhynchothoracidae) from Korean waters with note on novel morphological traits

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Lee, Damin, Park, Jin-Ho, Park, Taeseo (2025): Description of new sand-dwelling Rhynchothorax species (Pycnogonida, Rhynchothoracidae) from Korean waters with note on novel morphological traits. Zoosystematics and Evolution 101 (4): 2055-2064, DOI: 10.3897/zse.101.167593AbstractA new species belonging to the genus Rhynchothorax was discovered in a subtidal sandy patch off the eastern coast of Jejudo Island, Republic of Korea. The new species, Rhynchothorax arenigenus sp. nov., is morphologically close to R. nopperabo, R. philopsammum, and R. vallatus, but can be distinguished by a combination of morphological characters: an ectal tubercle at the lateral extension of cephalic segment, the lateral process intervals, the arrangement of spines and tubercles on the lateral processes, the oviger spine formula, leg tuberculation, and the relative length of auxiliary claws. We highlight three morphological traits in the present species: a pair of ventral furrows on the proboscis, variable lateral process intervals, and the structure of oviger terminal claw. Notably, the ventral furrows are described here for the first time within the genus and may have been overlooked in other Rhynchothorax species. Additionally, partial sequences of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (cox 1) are provided to support species delimitation and to facilitate future phylogenetic research.

title: The first neuroanatomical study of a marine pleurodire (the large Paleocene bothremydid Azzabaremys moragjonesi) reveals convergences with other clades of pelagic turtles

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Martín-Jiménez, Marcos, Pérez-García, Adán (2025): The first neuroanatomical study of a marine pleurodire (the large Paleocene bothremydid Azzabaremys moragjonesi) reveals convergences with other clades of pelagic turtles. Fossil Record 28 (1): 1-15, DOI: 10.3897/fr.28.e130418AbstractAzzabaremys moragjonesi, from the Paleocene of Mali, is a member of Nigeremydini. This is a clade of bothremydid pleurodiran turtles that includes large putatively marine forms which inhabited the African Trans-Saharian Seaway from the Maastrichtian to the Paleocene. This work represents the first neuroanatomical reconstruction of a putative sea pleurodire. Some of the neuroanatomical modifications observed for Azzabaremys moragjonesi differ from those in the other lineages of Bothremydidae in which these structures have been documented, corresponding to freshwater instead of pelagic marine forms. In fact, the primitive condition for Pleurodira is the adaptation to freshwater environments, as is the case with all extant representatives, but also with most documented extinct forms. The neuroanatomy of Azzabaremys moragjonesi shows convergences with that of the members of Pan- Cryptodira with adaptations to marine environments (i. e., Chelonioidea, including Cheloniidae and Dermochelyidae), but also with other clades of marine turtles exclusive to the fossil record (i. e., several Mesozoic and Palaeogene clades with uncertain affiliations: Plesiochelyidae, Sandownidae, and Protostegidae). Thus, aspects such as the position of the geniculate ganglion into the canalis cavernosus, the absence of an anterior vidian canal piercing the pterygoid, and the possession of wide semicircular canals of the endosseous labyrinth, as well as the possible presence of enlarged lacrimal glands, are recognized here as convergent modifications developed in Cryptodira, extinct clades with uncertain affiliations, and Pleurodira in response to adaptation to marine environments.

title: Wing coloration patterns in the Early Jurassic dragonflies as potential indicator of increasing predation pressure from insectivorous reptiles

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article JOUAULT, CORENTIN, TISCHLINGER, HELMUT, HENROTAY, MICHEL, NEL, ANDRÉ (2022): Wing coloration patterns in the Early Jurassic dragonflies as potential indicator of increasing predation pressure from insectivorous reptiles. Palaeoentomology 5 (4): 305-318, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.5.4.3, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/palaeoentomology.5.4.3AbstractWing coloration is a very ancient feature among insects. Even the wings of the oldest known Pterygota showed transverse colored bands involved in a putative disruptive function. However, no evidence of wing coloration in the representatives of the superorder Odonatoptera is recorded before the latest Triassic. These were the only insect flyingpredators until the pterosaurs began their diversification. Here we argue that the situation dramatically changed in the Early Jurassic, with the simultaneous appearance of Odonata with patterns of coloration in phylogenetically distant clades. It is especially the case in the Heterophlebiidae, a small family closely related to the Anisoptera, in which we could record no less than five different patterns of coloration in the same rather small area of North-Western Europe. At the same time and in the same area, small potentially insectivorous pterosaurs greatly diversified. The increase of the predation pressure on the Odonata is the most probable cause of the appearance of patterns of colored spots and bands on the dragonfly wings at that time. In the period between the Middle Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, the number of Odonata with spots and bands of color on wings dramatically increased, we assume in relation to the predation pressure due to an increasing diversification of insectivorous pterosaurs, but also small feathered dinosaurs and birds.

The studied association is represented by eight species including one new cryptostome bryozoan Prophyllodictya khrevitsa n. sp. We explore the colony morphology and evolutionary morphogenesis of Prophyllodictya Gorjunova, 1987 and discuss the morphological features of trepostome and cryptostome bryozoans from the Khrevitsa Formation. Finally, we classify protective structures in bryozoan colonies in three groups based on functional criteria: 1) structures to strengthen the colony, 2) structures to defend the colony against predators, and 3) structures to protect the polypide.

Zootaxa 5418 (4): 301-327, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5418.4.1, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5418.4.1AbstractPseudogonatodes is a poorly known genus of small bodied, diurnal, ground-dwelling geckos widely distributed in northern South America. No additional species have been described in over two decades. Herein we describe a new species from the eastern slope of the Cordillera de Mérida in the Venezuelan Andes. The new species is readily diagnosable morphologically from the other seven recognized species of Pseudogonatodes by having a single postnasal scale—a putative autapomorphy. Furthermore, it is characterized by a unique combination of phenotypic characters that includes granular dorsal scales, three large postrostrals, five to six loreals, mental U-shaped, four to six postmentals, 26–29 ventrals between anterior levels of fore- and hind limbs, third lamella under fourth toe not distinctly enlarged, and subcaudal pattern 1’1”. In addition to characterizing the external morphology, we present a description of the skull, based on 3D digital models reconstructed from high resolution computed microtomography scans. The discovery of this new species highlights the still underestimated diversity of this group of Neotropical dwarf geckos and underscores the need for further studies on its systematics and taxonomy.

This description is based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis. This species belongs to a group defined by the presence of a smooth posterior edge of the pectoral-fin spine and can be distinguished from other species in the group by a unique combination of characteristics, including: an upper jaw longer than the lower jaw; maxillary barbels reaching the middle of the pectoral fin; irregular blotches present on the lateral body; a rounded caudal-fin with a length ranging from 16.5 % to 19.9 % of the standard length; 39 to 41 post-Weberian vertebrae; and 15 to 17 anal-fin rays. The validity of this new species is further supported by the molecular phylogenetic analysis based on Cytb sequences.
