  • Geology and Vertebrate Paleontology of Western and Southern North America
    OF WESTERN AND SOUTHERN NORTH AMERICA OF WESTERN AND SOUTHERN NORTH PALEONTOLOGY GEOLOGY AND VERTEBRATE Geology and Vertebrate Paleontology of Western and Southern North America Edited By Xiaoming Wang and Lawrence G. Barnes Contributions in Honor of David P. Whistler WANG | BARNES 900 Exposition Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90007 Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County Science Series 41 May 28, 2008 Paleocene primates from the Goler Formation of the Mojave Desert in California Donald L. Lofgren,1 James G. Honey,2 Malcolm C. McKenna,2,{,2 Robert L. Zondervan,3 and Erin E. Smith3 ABSTRACT. Recent collecting efforts in the Goler Formation in California’s Mojave Desert have yielded new records of turtles, rays, lizards, crocodilians, and mammals, including the primates Paromomys depressidens Gidley, 1923; Ignacius frugivorus Matthew and Granger, 1921; Plesiadapis cf. P. anceps; and Plesiadapis cf. P. churchilli. The species of Plesiadapis Gervais, 1877, indicate that Member 4b of the Goler Formation is Tiffanian. In correlation with Tiffanian (Ti) lineage zones, Plesiadapis cf. P. anceps indicates that the Laudate Discovery Site and Edentulous Jaw Site are Ti2–Ti3 and Plesiadapis cf. P. churchilli indicates that Primate Gulch is Ti4. The presence of Paromomys Gidley, 1923, at the Laudate Discovery Site suggests that the Goler Formation occurrence is the youngest known for the genus. Fossils from Member 3 and the lower part of Member 4 indicate a possible marine influence as Goler Formation sediments accumulated. On the basis of these specimens and a previously documented occurrence of marine invertebrates in Member 4d, the Goler Basin probably was in close proximity to the ocean throughout much of its existence.

  • On Douc Langurs (Pygathrix Spp.)
    Vietnamese Journal of Primatology (2010) 4, 57-68 The Pedicinus species (Insecta, Phthiraptera, Anoplura, Pedicinidae) on douc langurs (Pygathrix spp.) Eberhard Mey Museum of Natural History at the State Museum Heidecksburg, Schloßbezirk 1, D-07407 Rudolstadt, Germany. <[email protected]> Key words: Pygathrix spp., lice, Pedicinus, new species, Vietnam Summary All three species of Southeast-Asian douc langurs (Pygathrix spp.) harbor a host-specific species of Pedicinus (Neopedicinus). Using freshly collected material of known provenance, these were identified as Pedicinus tongkinensis Mey, 1994 ex Pygathrix nemaeus, Pedicinus atratulus nov. spec. ex Pygathrix nigripes, and Pedicinus curtipenitus nov. spec. ex Pygathrix cinerea. The three species described here are closely related to each other and belong to the newly created “ancoratus species group” within the subgenus Neopedicinus. Loài Pedicinus (Insecta, Phthiraptera, Anoplura, Pedicinidae) trên các loài Chà vá (Pygathrix spp.) ở Đông Nam Á Tóm tắt Cả ba loài chà vá (Pygathrix spp.) của Đông Nam Á là nơi trú ngụ của một loài ký sinh Pedicinus (Neopedicinus). Sử dụng vật liệu được thu thập tươi từ nguồn gốc đã biết, các loài này được xác định là Pedicinus tongkinensis Mey, 1994 ex Pygathrix nemaeus, Pedicinus atratulus nov. spec. ex Pygathrix nigripes, và Pedicinus curtipenitus nov. spec. ex Pygathrix cinerea. Ba loài được mô tả ở đây có quan hệ gần gũi với nhau và thuộc về “nhóm loài ancoratus” mới được tạo ra trong giống phụ Neopedicinus. Introduction The colobine genus of the douc langurs Pygathrix E. Geoffroy St.-Hilaire, 1812 is endemic to Indochina. Three monotypic species are distinguished (Roos & Nadler, 2001, Nadler et al., 2003, Nadler, 2007).

However, our understanding of SIV diversity and evolution is limited by incomplete taxonomic and geographic sampling of NHPs, particularly in East Africa. In this study, we screened blood specimens from nine black-and-white colobus monkeys (Colobus guereza occidentalis) from Kibale National Park, Uganda, for novel SIVs using a combination of serology and “unbiased” deep-sequencing, a method that does not rely on genetic similarity to previously characterized viruses. Results: We identified two novel and divergent SIVs, tentatively named SIVkcol-1 and SIVkcol-2, and assembled genomes covering the entire coding region for each virus. SIVkcol-1 and SIVkcol-2 were detected in three and four animals, respectively, but with no animals co-infected. Phylogenetic analyses showed that SIVkcol-1 and SIVkcol-2 form a lineage with SIVcol, previously discovered in black-and-white colobus from Cameroon. Although SIVkcol-1 and SIVkcol-2 were isolated from the same host population in Uganda, SIVkcol-1 is more closely related to SIVcol than to SIVkcol-2.

  • The International District of Montreal
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia Engineering 165 ( 2016 ) 726 – 729 15th International scientific conference “Underground Urbanisation as a Prerequisite for Sustainable Development” Over & underground spaces & networks integrations a case study: the international district of Montreal a, Clément Demers * aQuartier international de Montréal,Montreal, Canada Abstract Downtown Montreal underwent a major urban renewal in 2000–2004. The Quartier international de Montréal (QIM) is held by many as one of the finest examples of urban design in Canada. The main purpose of the project was to restore the continuity of Montreal's downtown, broken by the gaping trench of the Ville-Marie Expressway since the 1960s, and thus to bridge the historic Old Montreal district the existing downtown business district centred around Place Ville-Marie. Other goals included the beautification of the built environment, creation of elegant city squares, showcase of Quebec design and public art, and stimulation of world-class real estate development at the heart of Montreal. The two major north-south underground pedestrian pathways were connected by the missing link put in place beneath the CDP Capital Centre and Place Jean-Paul Riopelle. Nearly 1.3 kilometers of underground corridors, animated by public art, were created and tripled access to the subway. The goal of the presentation is to present an approach to developing Air Rights above an underground (trench) expressway in a downtown area in consideration with urban design aspects, building design constraints, technical, legal and economic aspects. This session will examine the results of this significant original project, the ongoing vision for this major part of the city, and what future development activity is likely to take place.
