title: A new archosaur from the Manda beds (Anisian, Middle Triassic) of southern Tanzania and its implications for character state optimizations at Archosauria and Pseudosuchia

description: ABSTRACTThe presence of early pseudosuchians and avemetatarsalians in Anisian beds of Africa demonstrates that the archosaur radiation was well underway by the beginning of the Middle Triassic. The rapid radiation produced a variety of forms, but many of the unique, well-diagnosed Late Triassic clades (e.g., Aetosauria, Ornithosuchidae) lack diagnosable members from the Middle Triassic. Here, we introduce a new Middle Triassic archosaur, <i>Nundasuchus songeaensis</i>, gen. et sp. nov., with an unusual mix of apomorphic character states found within Pseudosuchia and just outside Archosauria. The holotype consists of partial skeleton, including representative postcranial elements and parts of the skull. We added <i>Nundasuchus songeaensis</i>, gen. et sp. nov., into the two most comprehensive early archosaur phylogenetic data sets available, and in both analyses the new taxon falls within Pseudosuchia. However, a number of plesiomorphic archosaurian character states (e.g., posterolaterally directed tuber of the calcaneum) optimize as local autapomorphies of the new taxon within Pseudosuchia in our analyses. Therefore, we tested alternative hypotheses of relationships for the new taxon by utilizing constraint trees. The analyses resulted in little change in the relationships and structure of other Triassic archosaur clades, but changed optimizations of certain character states and character support at the base of Pseudosuchia and Archosauria. Our analyses suggest that the complex evolution of character-state changes at the base of Archosauria is inhibiting our understanding of the relationships of early Pseudosuchia and, in turn, Archosauria.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

title: <i>Tacuarembemys kusterae</i>, gen. et sp. nov., a new Late Jurassic–?earliest Cretaceous continental turtle from western Gondwana

description: ABSTRACTA new continental turtle, <i>Tacuarembemys kusterae</i>, gen. et sp. nov., is described on the basis of a partial external mold of the carapace and associated shell bone fragments recovered from the Batoví Member (Late Jurassic–?earliest Cretaceous) of the Tacuarembó Formation, Paraná Basin, Uruguay. The estimated length of the carapace is 18 cm. This new genus and species shows a unique combination of characters: a large nuchal notch, a pair of anterior supernumerary scales, the absence of a cervical scale, and an external surface ornamentation that is macroscopically smooth with some thin linear ridges perpendicular to the margins of the plates and microscopically composed of small, randomly distributed pits. The first two characters resemble those seen in the solemydid <i>Naomichelys speciosa</i> from the Cretaceous of North America, although the ornamentation is markedly different. Although this combination of characters—some shared with other taxa (including cryptodires and pleurodires) and some others that are autapomorphic—allows the recognition of a new genus and species, additional remains are yet needed in order to clarify its phylogenetic relationships. <i>Tacuarembemys kusterae</i> is part of the <i>Priohybodus arambourgi</i> Assemblage Zone, which is of Late Jurassic–?earliest Cretaceous age. This is the first turtle to be discovered in South American continental deposits of that age and thus increases the knowledge on the regional evolution of Mesozoic turtles. The paleoenvironment for this species includes lakes and permanent and ephemeral rivers in arid-to-semiarid climatic conditions.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

title: Cranial anatomy of <i>Erlikosaurus andrewsi</i> (Dinosauria, Therizinosauria): new insights based on digital reconstruction

description: ABSTRACTThe skull of <i>Erlikosaurus andrewsi</i> from the Upper Cretaceous Baishin Tsav locality of Mongolia represents the only known three-dimensionally preserved and nearly complete skull of a therizinosaurian. Computed tomographic (CT) scanning of the original specimen and three-dimensional visualization techniques allow the cranial skeleton to be digitally prepared, disarticulated, and restored. Here, we present a detailed description of the restored skull morphology and the individual cranial elements, including visualization of the internal neurovascular and pneumatic structures. Information gained from this study is used in a revised and emended diagnosis for <i>E. andrewsi</i>. A reappraisal of the evolutionary and functional changes in the cranial skeleton as provided by this study supports prior proposals that a keratinous sheath or rhamphotheca was developed early in the evolution of Therizinosauria. Paralleled by the reduction of functional and replacement teeth, this development indicates a shift in the manner of food processing/procurement at the tip of the snout. Extensive pneumatization of the braincase, most evidently developed in <i>E. andrewsi</i> in comparison with other known therizinosaurians, appears to have led to a reduction of the adductor musculature and thus the potential bite force in derived therizinosaurians. In addition, the application of digital data, as presented in this study, introduces a novel way to document fossil data that will allow for morphological and anatomical data to be made widely accessible.SUPPLEMENTAL DATA—Supplemental materials are available for this article for free at www.tandfonline.com/UJVP

description: The optical rotation of streptorubin B and comparison with the computational spectroscopy for the pair of its atropisomers and homodimers show that its atropisomers by far dominate the chiroptical effects and where atropisomerism is a dynamic phenomenon, with a non-equilibrium population of atropisomers and/or its dimers, the chiroptical responses are likely to vary with time, concentration, temperature and the anion of the salts used.

title: Tetrabutylammonium bromide and K<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>: an eco-benign catalyst for the synthesis of 5-arylidene-1,3-thiazolidine- 2,4-diones via Knoevenagel condensation

description: Phase-transfer catalyzed, energy-efficient and facile synthesis of 5-arylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-diones was developed. Three independent variables (temperature, bases and phase-transfer catalyst (PTC)) were screened through one-factor-at-a time (OFAT) study. The optimum reaction conditions suggested by the OFAT analysis were the use of tetrabutylammonium bromide (8 mol%) and potassium carbonate (1 mmol) for the reaction at 100°C. The nitrogen of PTC stabilizes carbonyl groups of thiazolidine-2,4-dione (TZD). The active methylene hydrogen of TZD forms potassium salt with potassium carbonate and generates 5-arylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-diones (1–16) through nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl carbon of arylaldehydes. The prominent advantages of this new process are economic viability, shorter reaction time (15 min), simple product isolation (non-chromatographic method), good to excellent yields (78–96%) and solvent-free conditions.

title: Lab Weeks 5-8 Effect of Plant Density on crawling insects vs flying insects

description: Data was collected based on the number of crawling insects versus flying insects that were found within an area containing a low density, medium density and high density of plants. Two types of traps were set up in order to gather an accurate census of the data; the first trap being a pit fall trap, which was utilized to capture and examine crawling insects, while the second trap being a pan trap which was used to observe the flying insects. The 2 types of traps were placed in adjacent proximity of each other. Each pair of traps was placed approximately 5 meters apart from each other with a total of six pairs of traps per density. The first set of traps were placed on October 14th 2014 and was examined of the number of insects in each trap the following two days. The second set of traps were placed on October 21st 2014 and were also observed and recored the following two days of when they were placed. The experiment took place at the grasslands east of Stong Pond.
