Received: 2010.02.03; Accepted: 2010.03.26; Published: 2010.03.29 Abstract The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) was determined. The genome is a circular molecule 15 481 bp long. It presents a typical gene organization and order for completely sequenced lepidopteran mitogenomes, but differs from the insect ancestral type for the placement of tRNAMet. The nucleotide composition of the genome is also highly A + T biased, accounting for 80.38%, with a slightly positive AT skewness (0.010), indicating the occurrence of more As than Ts, as found in the Noctuoidea species. All protein-coding genes (PCGs) are initiated by ATN codons, except for COI, which is tentatively designated by the CGA codon as observed in other le- pidopterans.

  • A Revised Taxonomy of the Iguanodont Dinosaur Genera and Species
    ARTICLE IN PRESS + MODEL Cretaceous Research xx (2007) 1e25 www.elsevier.com/locate/CretRes A revised taxonomy of the iguanodont dinosaur genera and species Gregory S. Paul 3109 North Calvert Station, Side Apartment, Baltimore, MD 21218-3807, USA Received 20 April 2006; accepted in revised form 27 April 2007 Abstract Criteria for designating dinosaur genera are inconsistent; some very similar species are highly split at the generic level, other anatomically disparate species are united at the same rank. Since the mid-1800s the classic genus Iguanodon has become a taxonomic grab-bag containing species spanning most of the Early Cretaceous of the northern hemisphere. Recently the genus was radically redesignated when the type was shifted from nondiagnostic English Valanginian teeth to a complete skull and skeleton of the heavily built, semi-quadrupedal I. bernissartensis from much younger Belgian sediments, even though the latter is very different in form from the gracile skeletal remains described by Mantell. Currently, iguanodont remains from Europe are usually assigned to either robust I. bernissartensis or gracile I. atherfieldensis, regardless of lo- cation or stage. A stratigraphic analysis is combined with a character census that shows the European iguanodonts are markedly more morpho- logically divergent than other dinosaur genera, and some appear phylogenetically more derived than others. Two new genera and a new species have been or are named for the gracile iguanodonts of the Wealden Supergroup; strongly bipedal Mantellisaurus atherfieldensis Paul (2006. Turning the old into the new: a separate genus for the gracile iguanodont from the Wealden of England. In: Carpenter, K. (Ed.), Horns and Beaks: Ceratopsian and Ornithopod Dinosaurs.

  • The Giant Pliosaurid That Wasn't—Revising the Marine Reptiles From
    The giant pliosaurid that wasn’t—revising the marine reptiles from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic, of Krzyżanowice, Poland DANIEL MADZIA, TOMASZ SZCZYGIELSKI, and ANDRZEJ S. WOLNIEWICZ Madzia, D., Szczygielski, T., and Wolniewicz, A.S. 2021. The giant pliosaurid that wasn’t—revising the marine reptiles from the Kimmeridgian, Upper Jurassic, of Krzyżanowice, Poland. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 66 (1): 99–129. Marine reptiles from the Upper Jurassic of Central Europe are rare and often fragmentary, which hinders their precise taxonomic identification and their placement in a palaeobiogeographic context. Recent fieldwork in the Kimmeridgian of Krzyżanowice, Poland, a locality known from turtle remains originally discovered in the 1960s, has reportedly provided additional fossils thought to indicate the presence of a more diverse marine reptile assemblage, including giant pliosaurids, plesiosauroids, and thalattosuchians. Based on its taxonomic composition, the marine tetrapod fauna from Krzyżanowice was argued to represent part of the “Matyja-Wierzbowski Line”—a newly proposed palaeobiogeographic belt comprising faunal components transitional between those of the Boreal and Mediterranean marine provinces. Here, we provide a de- tailed re-description of the marine reptile material from Krzyżanowice and reassess its taxonomy. The turtle remains are proposed to represent a “plesiochelyid” thalassochelydian (Craspedochelys? sp.) and the plesiosauroid vertebral centrum likely belongs to a cryptoclidid. However, qualitative assessment and quantitative analysis of the jaws originally referred to the colossal pliosaurid Pliosaurus clearly demonstrate a metriorhynchid thalattosuchian affinity. Furthermore, these me- triorhynchid jaws were likely found at a different, currently indeterminate, locality. A tooth crown previously identified as belonging to the thalattosuchian Machimosaurus is here considered to represent an indeterminate vertebrate.

  • Guide for Authors
    GUIDE TO MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION FOR THE JOURNAL OF VERTEBRATE PALEONTOLOGY Adherence to the Guide to Manuscript Preparation provided here is mandatory. Do not rely on older issues of the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology (JVP) as a style guide. All manuscripts must be submitted electronically through the ManuscriptCentral/ScholarOne man- uscripts submission site at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jvp. For assistance with this process, please use the help tools provided through links at the web site. Note also that strict adherence to the fle-format, resolution, and size requirements for fgures is absolutely essential for fnal acceptance to JVP. Note also that JVP has stricter requirements for data sharing and open access to data than those posted on the journal web page, which are those imposed by the publishers, TAylor & Francis, on all their journals. MANUSCRIPTS Manuscript Categories The Journal publishes two categories of papers: Articles and Short Communications. Authors must indicate during submission in which category they wish their manuscript to be considered. The JVP no longer publishes book reviews. Book reviews should be submitted to the Society of Ver- tebrate Paleontology Newsletter. Monographs can be considered for publication as supplements to the Journal; consult the Mono- graphs Editor prior to submission. Articles—Manuscripts intended as Articles (papers of 6 or more printed pages in the Journal) must not exceed 100 pages of double-spaced typescript including references, tables, and appendices at US Let- ter (21.5 by 28.0 cm; 8.5 by 11.0 in) or A4 (21.0 by 29.7 cm) page size. Longer manuscripts, or ones with an unusually large number of fgures or tables, may be considered, but the Senior Editors must be consulted prior to submission.
