Published: September 2016

The phylum Tardigrada was not recorded in Ireland until the Clare Island Survey of 1909-1911, with only rare subsequent reports on Irish tardigrade species. In recent decades, significant taxonomic revision has occurred within Tardigrada. This has resulted in the need for a review of all known historical records from Ireland and Northern Ireland in order to produce an updated checklist of valid taxa. The new checklist includes fifty-one tardigrade species and subspecies including a new addition to the Irish fauna reported herein, Echiniscus quadrispinosus quadrispinosus Richters, 1902 from Newtown, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare.

January 2025

Royal Commission for AlUla, AlUla 43544, Saudi Arabia.

Intensive surveys recently conducted in AlUla County (northwest Saudi Arabia) have made it possible to compile an exhaustive list of the forty-eight bryophyte species (six liverworts and forty-two mosses) known in this region and compare it with an updated checklist of bryophytes from Saudi Arabia, which now counts 31 liverworts and 135 mosses. The ecology, taxonomy, and distribution of each taxon are provided and discussed in a systematic catalog. Although particularly arid and lacking permanent watercourses, AlUla County has proven to be surprisingly rich in bryophytes.

Background: Enabling community-led health initiatives will contribute to reducing the burdens on the healthcare system. Implementing such initiatives successfully in high and upper-middle income Asian countries is poorly understood and documented. We undertook a Rapid Review, systematically synthesising the evidence to develop implementation guidelines to address this gap.

Introduction: Graphene, a two-dimensional arrangement of carbon atoms, has drawn significant interest in medical research due to its unique properties. In the context of bone regeneration, graphene has shown several promising applications. Its robust structure, electrical conductivity, and biocompatibility make it an ideal candidate for enhancing bone tissue regeneration and repair processes.
