AI Article Synopsis
- Scientists found many fish from a family called Clupeidae in old limestone rocks in Monte Bolca.
- They discovered a new kind of Clupeidae fish from a specific site called Pesciara, which is different from others.
- This new fish helps us understand more about the different types of Clupeidae fish that lived a long time ago during the Eocene period.
Article Abstract
Fishes of the family Clupeidae are extremely abundant in the Eocene fossiliferous limestone of Monte Bolca representing the most common group from this celebrated locality. A new clupeid from the Pesciara site, gen. et sp. nov., is described. The new taxon exhibits a unique combination of characters supporting its recognition as a new genus and species of clupeid fish that is tentatively placed in the subfamily Alosinae. The description of this new taxon improves our knowledge of the diversity of clupeoid fishes in the Eocene of Monte Bolca.

Morphological and morphometric investigations on testate amoebae from Mongolia with descriptions of a new genus and four new species.

Testate amoebae are a polyphyletic and highly diverse group of unicellular protists, inhabiting various habitats and successfully used as indicators of property of environmental variables, providing information on hydrology, pH and pollution of ecosystems. However, despite numerous studies, there is still a lack of data regarding their species diversity, geographical distribution and population dynamics in various habitats from previously unexplored or poorly investigated regions such as Mongolia. In this study, we describe the morphology and morphometry of a new genus and four new species: Armatura murmillo gen.

Older adults often experience multimorbidity, cognitive impairments, and physical frailties, increasing healthcare utilization and costs. Traditional medical approaches that focus on organ-specific diagnoses are insufficient for addressing these multifaceted needs.

This study validated these scales and explored factors that could improve their predictive accuracy among Japanese home health care patients.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study.
Despite being increasingly adopted in various regions, the model of Hospital-at-home can still appear to be confusing to many healthcare workers. The authors examined and summarized the existing concepts and implementations of Hospital-at-home. How Hospital-at-home contrasts to traditional inpatient models were outlined.

Uropygi is an order of arachnids commonly known as vinegaroons or whip-scorpions. So far, two genera are known to occur in Brazil: Thelyphonellus Pocock, 1894 and Mastigoproctus Pocock, 1894. We examined the morphology of 182 specimens of Brazilian Mastigoproctus and sequenced 42 specimens for phylogenetic analyses, using mitochondrial and nuclear molecular markers.
