Mechanism balancing taxonomy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

New insights on the structure of alpha-synuclein fibrils using cryo-electron microscopy

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Dongchun Ni

Fibrils of alpha-synuclein are significant components of cellular inclusions associated with several neuropathological disorders including Parkinson’s disease, multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies. In recent years, technological advances i ...

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Edward Mitchell, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...

New insights into the classification and nomenclature of cortical GABAergic interneurons

Henry Markram, Sean Lewis Hill, Yun Wang, Ruth Benavides Piccione, Jean Rossier, Zoltan Kisvarday

A systematic classification and accepted nomenclature of neuron types is much needed but is currently lacking. This article describes a possible taxononnical solution for classifying GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex based on a novel, web-based ...

COI Barcoding of Nebelid Testate Amoebae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida): Extensive Cryptic Diversity and Redefinition of the Hyalospheniidae Schultze

Edward Mitchell, Enrique Lara, Thierry Jean Heger

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to clarify the taxonomic validity of morphological characters. The COI data not o ...

Biogeography, Evolution and Diversity of Free-Living Protists : Insights from Testate Amoebae

Thierry Jean Heger

Although widely recognized as essential actors of ecosystem processes and representing a significant part of the Earth's biodiversity, free-living protists are poorly known. Major questions concerning their diversity, ecology, and evolution remain complete ...
