AI Article Synopsis
- - A new genus and species called Neopotamocypris indivisa has been identified in Thailand, adding to the subfamily Cypridopsinae.
- - This discovery is significant as it represents the second genus in the Potamocypridini tribe, with key differences from a similar genus (Potamocypris) based on specific anatomical features.
- - The findings point to a unique evolutionary path for this genus within the tribe, indicating both morphological divergence and potential convergent evolution in the subfamily.
Article Abstract
A new genus and species belonging to the subfamily Cypridopsinae, Neopotamocypris indivisa gen. nov. sp. nov., is described from Thailand. The new genus is the second one of the tribe Potamocypridini. Neopotamocypris gen. nov. is similar to Potamocypris but can be distinguished mainly by the undivided penultimate segment of the second thoracopod, the absence of the d1 seta on the third thoracopod and the morphology of the mandibular palp, maxillula and female genital hook. The discovery of the new genus suggests the morphological divergent evolution at generic level within the tribe and also perhaps constitutes an example of convergent evolution in the subfamily. The taxonomic characters of the tribe are briefly discussed.

A new species of () is described from the calcareous, high-mountain Spanish flora in the central part of the Iberian Peninsula. It is found in a Mediterranean climate at high-elevation, perennial, calcareous grasslands, as well as in marble screes of anthropogenic origin in the Sierra de Guadarrama, Central System (Spain), in a reserve area within the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, at 1996 m asl. Taxonomic morphological measurements were performed on collected specimens from Sierra de Guadarrama as well as on geographically-adjacent (i.

The genus , a group of ciliated protists, has attracted attention as a model organism due to its widespread distribution and ease of cultivation. This study examines the evolutionary patterns of the SSU rRNA secondary structure within this genus, aiming to elucidate its role in supporting evolutionary relationships and uncovering cryptic species. By predicting the secondary structure of SSU rRNA and applying the CBC (Compensatory Base Change) concept analysis, we examined 69 species of the genus , with 57 SSU rRNA gene sequences retrieved from GenBank and 12 newly sequenced specimens from South Korea.

Few performance validity tests exist for youth undergoing baseline testing for the management of sport-related concussion. This study provides an initial validation of a reliable span calculation from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Fourth Edition Letter-Number Sequencing (LNS) subtest as a performance validity indicator for youth baseline testing (Reliable Letter-Number Span; RLNS). Youth athletes ( = 173) underwent baseline concussion testing for the management of sport-related concussion.

Kuwayama, 1908, constitutes an Old World genus of psyllids with 15 described species. Based on characters of immatures, was recently assigned to Ciriacreminae (Psyllidae). The genus is morphologically well circumscribed but species are currently difficult to identify as many descriptions lack detail and precision.
