Two new species of the genus Melichar, 1914 from Southwest China, Lv & Chen, from Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Lv & Chen, from Guangdong Province, are described and illustrated. These bring the total number of species in the genus to 13, with nine recorded from China. A checklist and map of all known species of are provided, together with an identification key for Chinese species.

Brain asymmetries are a distinctive feature of Homo sapiens and are associated with key evolutionary functions including language and handedness. Nonetheless, differences between humans and apes could be just a matter of degree and size and not the expression of unique traits of our species. In this chapter, I introduce paleoneurology and the study of brain morphology in fossil hominids, reviewing the anatomic factors that can influence the main asymmetries of the endocranial cavity (cortical volumes, sulcal patterns, and craniovascular features).

Background: Canola essential oil (CEO) contains linoleic and oleic fatty acids that can inhibit the growth of pathogenic micro-organisms and alter microbial digestion to increase ruminal fermentation and nutrient utilisation.
Objectives: The study evaluated the effect of supplementing a basal goat diet with incremental doses of CEO on chemical constituents and in vitro ruminal fermentation parameters and microbial diversity.
Methods: Experimental treatments were a basal goat diet containing 0.

This work aims to (1) identify microbial and metabolic alterations and (2) reveal a shift in phenylalanine production-consumption equilibrium in individuals with HIV. We conducted extensive searches in multiple databases [MEDLINE, Web of Science (including Cell Press, Oxford, HighWire, Science Direct, IOS Press, Springer Nature, PNAS, and Wiley), Google Scholar, and Embase] and selected two case-control 16S data sets (GenBank IDs: SRP039076 and EBI ID: ERP003611) for analysis. We assessed alpha and beta diversity, performed univariate tests on genus-level relative abundances, and identified significant microbiome features using random forest.
