title: Project STAR, STudents As Researchers: Participatory Research with Children During the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020

description: This research is part of a larger qualitative study that took place during the 2019-2020 school year focusing on children’s literacies of research, which are conceptualized as the social practices children employ to investigate issues that matter to them. The research site was a public elementary school in a small city in northeastern United States. The child co-researchers and I met as a research group once a week during the school day. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and the emergency closure of the school, the research group transitioned to a virtual space, utilizing the school district’s digital platform. This study presents data collected during the six virtual research group sessions, conducted early in the COVID-19 pandemic during mandated social distancing and emergency remote learning. Child co-researchers detailed their experiences with social isolation and remote learning as well as how they innovated with digital technologies to meet their needs. The focus of the research group shifted in response to the needs and interests of the children and the sociocultural context of the pandemic.

title: Comparative genomics of bacteria from amphibian skin associated with inhibition of an amphibian fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

description: Bacteria were isolated from the skin of four amphibian species in the Eastern US. These bacteria were tested for their ability to inhibit the fungal pathogen <i>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</i> (Bd) via <i>in vitro</i> challenge assays. 40 of these bacteria were sent for whole genome sequencing. The aim of this study was to identify genomic differences among the isolates and generate hypotheses about the underpinnings of Bd growth inhibition.

title: Fast and Flexible Bayesian Inference in Time-varying Parameter Regression Models

description: In this article, we write the time-varying parameter (TVP) regression model involving <i>K</i> explanatory variables and <i>T</i> observations as a constant coefficient regression model with <i>KT</i> explanatory variables. In contrast with much of the existing literature which assumes coefficients to evolve according to a random walk, a hierarchical mixture model on the TVPs is introduced. The resulting model closely mimics a random coefficients specification which groups the TVPs into several regimes. These flexible mixtures allow for TVPs that feature a small, moderate or large number of structural breaks. We develop computationally efficient Bayesian econometric methods based on the singular value decomposition of the <i>KT</i> regressors. In artificial data, we find our methods to be accurate and much faster than standard approaches in terms of computation time. In an empirical exercise involving inflation forecasting using a large number of predictors, we find our models to forecast better than alternative approaches and document different patterns of parameter change than are found with approaches which assume random walk evolution of parameters.

title: Structural pattern in the tusks of the Miocene mammutid <i>Zygolophodon turicensis</i> and its utility in the taxonomy of elephantimorph proboscideans

description: The cross sections of tusks of all elephantimorph proboscideans show well-developed intersecting lines that form a conspicuous net-like structure termed the Schreger pattern. This trait is usually used to discriminate the tusks of recent elephants from those of mammoths. In Neogene elephantimorphs, however, the pattern remains largely unstudied and its utility unexplored. This study provides the first detailed assessment of the Schreger pattern in a Neogene elephantimorph. We have obtained thin sections from the basal half of the upper tusks of <i>Zygolophodon turicensis</i>, a mammutid from the middle Miocene of the Czech Republic, provide the full description of Schreger pattern and assess its utility in elephantimorph taxonomy. The arrangement of Schreger lines more closely resembles that of <i>Anancus arvernensis</i> and mammoths rather than that of <i>Mammut americanum</i>, a mammutid closely related to <i>Z. turicensis</i>. We further found that the visibility of the Schreger pattern can be affected by mineralisation as well as by the natural formation of dentin. Our results indicate that the appearance of the inner structure of elephantimorph tusks is not associated with their shape and is probably not reflective of phylogenetic affinities. Still, the appearance of the Schreger pattern remains useful for species identification.

title: Messinian Italian Bovidae revised: paleobiogeographic and biochronological implications

description: Bovidae from the Messinian localities of Italian Peninsula are poorly known and documented except in the Monticino Quarry record (Brisighella, central Italy), which represents, therefore, a key locality for the understanding of Bovidae diversity and biogeography during the Messinian in Italy. In the present paper, the material published in the 1989 along with new, unpublished bovid material from Monticino Quarry are revised in order to clarify the taxonomic attribution of the Monticino’ bovids and to better understand their geographic and chronological distribution, as well as the Bovidae diversity in Italy during the Messinian. The updated and revised data on the Italian small, spiral-horned antelope from Monticino Quarry, and the additional specimens from Borro Strolla (Tuscany) and Verduno (Piedmont), suggests it has to be referred to the genus <i>Oioceros</i>, i.e., <i>Oioceros occidentalis</i> nov. comb. In addition, the presence of four other bovids at Monticino is attested here: Bovidae indet. (small-size), Bovinae indet. (medium-large size cf. Boselaphini), Bovinae indet. cf. <i>Parabos</i>, and Antilopinae indet. (medium size). The biochronological correlations and paleobiogeographic implications of these findings are discussed, suggesting a close affinity in faunal assemblage among the northern and central Italian latest Messinian localities and supporting the dispersal of bovids from East to West during the Messinian (before and during the Messinian Salinity Crisis).

title: Report of an allodesmine humerus from Shimane, Japan: summary of Japanese allodesmines

description: A new specimen of a pinniped humerus was found from the middle Miocene Fujina Formation, Shimane, Japan. It was identified as Allodesminae gen. et sp. indet. based on morphological description and comparisons with allodesmine humeri. The results of the comparisons suggest that there is variation in morphological features within this group. This discovery that revealed allodesmines had already expanded along the north-to-south coastal regions from the early stage of the back-arc spreading of the Sea of Japan. According to the summary of Japanese allodesmines, these pinnipeds thrived in the Japanese coastal regions during the middle to late Miocene as well as in North America.

title: A Late Pleistocene third molar of <i>Hylochoerus</i> (Suidae, Mammalia) from Rusinga Island, Kenya: paleoenvironmental implications and a note on the hypsodonty of African forest hogs

description: African forest hogs (genus <i>Hylochoerus</i>) are extant Afro-tropical suids that inhabit a variety of forest environments and thick bushlands and are predominantly herbivores. <i>Hylochoerus</i> likely evolved from a Pleistocene <i>Kolpochoerus majus</i>-like ancestor, but its recent evolutionary history is virtually unknown. Here, we describe a partial right lower third molar from the Late Pleistocene Wasiriya Beds of Rusinga Island (~50-36 ka). The crowns are mesiodistally compressed in a bunolophodont fashion and arranged in columnar pillars that resemble those of extant <i>Hylochoerus</i>. We provide accurate data derived from computed tomography on the hypsodonty index (HI) of extant <i>Hylochoerus</i> and show that the Rusinga third molar crown was as tall as those of its modern counterpart (HI = 1.8–2.0). Stable carbon isotope analyses suggest that the diet of the Rusinga specimen (δ<sup>13</sup>C = −17.0 ‰) was also like that of extant forest hogs (δ<sup>13</sup>C average = −17.6 ‰). This extremely negative value contrasts strikingly with those of other fossil large herbivores at Rusinga (δ<sup>13</sup>C average = −0.7 ‰.). Among the potential explanations for this anomaly, the most likely is that the Late Pleistocene paleoenvironments were more heterogeneous than previously considered and may have included closed-canopy woodland in the highlands of Rusinga.

title: The latest Miocene small-sized Cervidae from Monticino Quarry (Brisighella, central Italy): paleobiogeographic and biochronological implications

description: In this paper, we described the unpublished cervid material from the latest Upper Miocene deposits of the Monticino Quarry (Brisighella, central Italy). The material includes a few teeth, some postcranials and a fragment of antler. An isolated fragment of mandible with dp4 is referred to Cervidae indet. (small-size) due to the absence of diagnostic morphological features. Two lower molars characterised by rugose enamel, the absence of <i>Palaeomeryx</i> fold and the presence of mesial cingulid are assigned to <i>Pliocervus</i> sp. A fragment of antler, characterised by ridges and furrows along the beam, which bends towards the lateral side just above the first bifurcation, a brachydont M2 and several small-sized postcranials are instead referred to <i>Procapreolus</i> cf. <i>loczyi</i>. The comparison with other latest Miocene small-sized Cervidae revealed that previous records of <i>Paracervulus</i> in Italy should be regarded as <i>Pliocervus</i> and that some records of <i>Euprox</i> can be instead re-assigned to <i>Procapreolus</i>. Accordingly, the occurrence of both <i>Pliocervus</i> and <i>Procapreolus</i> is indicative of latest Miocene Italian faunas referred to MN13 and suggests biogeographic affinity with Eastern European latest Miocene mammal assemblages.
