Article Synopsis
- Elasmobranch anatomy has been studied for nearly 200 years, but certain aspects like the dorsal fin muscles are still not well understood.
- This study focuses on the musculature of inclinatores dorsales in galeomorph sharks, revealing they have two components: profundus and superficialis, and showcasing greater anatomical variation than previously thought.
- The findings challenge existing interpretations related to the hypnosqualean hypothesis and emphasize the need to reassess previous morphological data in the context of elasmobranch interrelationships.
Identificação de ingredientes de intervenções não invasivas para crianças deambuladoras com paralisia cerebral usando as minhas palavras favoritas: uma revisão de escopo.

August 2024
Aim: To map the ingredients of non-invasive interventions provided to young ambulant children with cerebral palsy.
Method: Articles were screened and each study's characteristics extracted. The intervention ingredients were described in terms of the Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System and linked to the 'F-words'.
The appendicular skeleton of the enigmatic shark Leptocharias smithii in comparison with other sharks of the order Carcharhiniformes (Elasmobranchii: Leptochariidae).

Article Synopsis
- The anatomy of Leptocharias smithii is under-researched, displaying unique features that indicate it may represent a transitional form within carcharhiniform sharks.
- The study conducts a comprehensive analysis of Leptocharias's appendicular skeleton and compares its anatomical traits to other carcharhiniform species, revealing both unique and shared characteristics.
- It highlights 20 new anatomical features of paired fins and girdles, contributing to the understanding of carcharhiniform evolution and supporting the classification of specific clades within this group.
As intervenções de esportes modificados visam o desempenho de habilidades relacionadas ao esporte e visam alcançar a participação em atividades físicas e funções corporais Essas intervenções incluíram treinamento de habilidades motoras relacionadas ao esporte em grupo e introdução ao esporte em ambientes do mundo real Eles são oferecidos principalmente para crianças ambulantes com transtorno do espectro do autismo e paralisia cerebral A maioria dos estudos de intervenção de esportes modificados apresentou nível de evidência moderado Resumo gráfico: Intervenções de esportes modificados para crianças e adolescentes com deficiência: Uma revisão de escopo. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.

Method: For this scoping review, articles were screened and the characteristics of studies were extracted. The modified sports interventions were described in terms of their structure, using the items of the Template for Intervention Description and Replication.
A new species of Moenkhausia is described from the rio Brao Norte, a tributary of Rio Teles Pires draining the Serra do Cachimbo, rio Tapajs basin, Par, Brazil. The new species is diagnosed from all congeners, except M. moisae and M.

Relevant information on the preservation condition of the specimens and their current taxonomic status are also provided. The collection holds a total of 135 lots of type specimens of elasmobranchs, three holotypes and seven paratypes in the division Selachii plus 16 holotypes, one neotype, and 108 paratypes in the division Batoidea (total specimen count: 137).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSibert and Rubin (Reports, 4 June 2021, p. 1105) report an early Miocene extinction in pelagic sharks based on the loss of shark denticle diversity in two widely separated deep-sea sediment cores. We assert that the pattern observed is not a consequence of extinction but results from shifting species ranges induced by global current reorganization.
