Morphology Is Still an Indispensable Discipline in Zoology: Facts and Gaps from Chilopoda
SOIL ORGANISMS Volume 81 (3) 2009 pp. 387–398 ISSN: 1864 - 6417 Morphology is still an indispensable discipline in zoology: facts and gaps from Chilopoda Carsten H. G. Müller 1* & Jörg Rosenberg 2 1Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald, Zoologisches Institut und Museum, Abteilung Cytologie und Evolutionsbiologie, Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Str. 11–12, 17487 Greifswald; e-mail: [email protected] 2Universität Duisburg-Essen, Universitätsklinikum Essen, Zentrales Tierlaboratorium, Hufelandstr. 55, 45122 Essen, Germany; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract The importance of morphology as a descent discipline of biosciences has been questioned several times in recent years, especially by molecular geneticists. The criticism ranged between an assumed already comprehensive knowledge on animals body plans resulting in no longer need for morphological research and claims that morphological data do not contribute properly to the phylogenetic reconstructions on all systematic levels or to evolutionary research based on the modern synthesis. However, at least the first assumption of an overall knowledge on animal’s outer and inner morphology at present state seems to be unjustified with respect to what is known about Myriapoda. The present paper underlines the necessity and legitimacy to carry out morphological studies in the still widely neglected subgroups of Myriapoda and among them especially in the Chilopoda. Many interesting morphological data on Chilopoda could be gained in recent years, as for instance from epidermal glands and eyes. Gaps of knowledge on the external and internal morphology of centipedes hamper the ability to compare morphological data among the five known chilopod subgroups, to conduct character conceptualisations, to draw scenarios of evolutionary transformations of certain organ systems and/or to use morphological data for reconstructing strongly disputed euarthropod interrelationships. -

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Donald H. Pfister Danny Haelewaters STUDIES OF THE LABOULBENIOMYCETES: DIVERSITY, EVOLUTION, AND PATTERNS OF SPECIATION ABSTRACT CHAPTER 1: Laboulbeniales is one of the most morphologically and ecologically distinct orders of Ascomycota. These microscopic fungi are characterized by an ectoparasitic lifestyle on arthropods, determinate growth, lack of asexual state, high species richness and intractability to culture. DNA extraction and PCR amplification have proven difficult for multiple reasons. DNA isolation techniques and commercially available kits are tested enabling efficient and rapid genetic analysis of Laboulbeniales fungi. Success rates for the different techniques on different taxa are presented and discussed in the light of difficulties with micromanipulation, preservation techniques and negative results. CHAPTER 2: The class Laboulbeniomycetes comprises biotrophic parasites associated with arthropods and fungi. -
Towards a Management Hierarchy (Classification) for the Catalogue of Life
TOWARDS A MANAGEMENT HIERARCHY (CLASSIFICATION) FOR THE CATALOGUE OF LIFE Draft Discussion Document Rationale The Catalogue of Life partnership, comprising Species 2000 and ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System), has the goal of achieving a comprehensive catalogue of all known species on Earth by the year 2011. The actual number of described species (after correction for synonyms) is not presently known but estimates suggest about 1.8 million species. The collaborative teams behind the Catalogue of Life need an agreed standard classification for these 1.8 million species, i.e. a working hierarchy for management purposes. This discussion document is intended to highlight some of the issues that need clarifying in order to achieve this goal beyond what we presently have. Concerning Classification Life’s diversity is classified into a hierarchy of categories. The best-known of these is the Kingdom. When Carl Linnaeus introduced his new “system of nature” in the 1750s ― Systema Naturae per Regna tria naturae, secundum Classes, Ordines, Genera, Species …) ― he recognised three kingdoms, viz Plantae, Animalia, and a third kingdom for minerals that has long since been abandoned. As is evident from the title of his work, he introduced lower-level taxonomic categories, each successively nested in the other, named Class, Order, Genus, and Species. The most useful and innovative aspect of his system (which gave rise to the scientific discipline of Systematics) was the use of the binominal, comprising genus and species, that uniquely identified each species of organism. Linnaeus’s system has proven to be robust for some 250 years. The starting point for botanical names is his Species Plantarum, published in 1753, and that for zoological names is the tenth edition of the Systema Naturae published in 1758. -
Oncept Was Used to Describe Birds Allowing Ants to Climb on Their Body Or the Behavior of Capturing and Rubbing the Ants Against the Plumage
(2019) 30: 69–71 USE OF MILLIPEDES AS FOOD AND FOR SELF-ANOINTING BY THE PUERTO RICAN GRACKLE (QUISCALUS NIGER BRACHYPTERUS) Raúl A. Pérez-Rivera Department of Biology, University of Puerto Rico-Humacao, Puerto Rico. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract · Although rarely observed in nature, anting is widespread and has been reported in more than 200 species of birds. The concept was used to describe birds allowing ants to climb on their body or the behavior of capturing and rubbing the ants against the plumage. However, the nomenclature of this behavior has been broadened and now is called self-anointing, and includes the use of other animals, such as millipedes (Diplopoda), and even liquids. Here, I describe the Antillean Grackle (Quiscalus niger brachypterus) using millipedes (Trigoniulus coralinus and Anadenobolus monilicornis) for self-anointing and as food. The genus Anadenobolus is reported for self-anointing for the first time. I also observed five grackles, feeding upon the millipede Asiomorpha coarctata, after washing it in water. Possibly, grackles rub the millipedes on their plumage because their secretions may work as ectoparasite repellent or may decrease irritation during molting. The birds ingest these myriapods when food is scarce or because these may help against intestinal parasites. Resumen · Uso de milpiés como alimento y para “auto-unción” por el Mozambique de Puerto Rico (Quiscalus niger brachy- pterus) Aunque raras veces observado, el “hormigarse” ha sido reportado para más de 200 especies de aves. El concepto fue utilizado para explicar la conducta de aves que dejan que hormigas se suban sobre estas o las capturan, para restregárselas en su plu- maje. -

SVP's Letter to Editors of Journals and Publishers on Burmese Amber And
Society of Vertebrate Paleontology 7918 Jones Branch Drive, Suite 300 McLean, VA 22102 USA Phone: (301) 634-7024 Email: [email protected] Web: www.vertpaleo.org FEIN: 06-0906643 April 21, 2020 Subject: Fossils from conflict zones and reproducibility of fossil-based scientific data Dear Editors, We are writing you today to promote the awareness of a couple of troubling matters in our scientific discipline, paleontology, because we value your professional academic publication as an important ‘gatekeeper’ to set high ethical standards in our scientific field. We represent the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology (SVP: http://vertpaleo.org/), a non-profit international scientific organization with over 2,000 researchers, educators, students, and enthusiasts, to advance the science of vertebrate palaeontology and to support and encourage the discovery, preservation, and protection of vertebrate fossils, fossil sites, and their geological and paleontological contexts. The first troubling matter concerns situations surrounding fossils in and from conflict zones. One particularly alarming example is with the so-called ‘Burmese amber’ that contains exquisitely well-preserved fossils trapped in 100-million-year-old (Cretaceous) tree sap from Myanmar. They include insects and plants, as well as various vertebrates such as lizards, snakes, birds, and dinosaurs, which have provided a wealth of biological information about the ‘dinosaur-era’ terrestrial ecosystem. Yet, the scientific value of these specimens comes at a cost (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/11/science/amber-myanmar-paleontologists.html). Where Burmese amber is mined in hazardous conditions, smuggled out of the country, and sold as gemstones, the most disheartening issue is that the recent surge of exciting scientific discoveries, particularly involving vertebrate fossils, has in part fueled the commercial trading of amber. -

ÖDÖN TÖMÖSVÁRY (1852-1884), PIONEER of HUNGARIAN MYRIAPODOLOGY Zoltán Korsós Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural
miriapod report 20/1/04 10:04 am Page 78 BULLETIN OF THE BRITISH MYRIAPOD AND ISOPOD GROUP Volume 19 2003 ÖDÖN TÖMÖSVÁRY (1852-1884), PIONEER OF HUNGARIAN MYRIAPODOLOGY Zoltán Korsós Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Baross u. 13, H-1088 Budapest, Hungary E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Ödön (=Edmund) Tömösváry (1852-1884) immortalised his name in the science of myriapodology by discovering the peculiar sensory organs of the myriapods. He first described these organs in 1883 on selected species of Chilopoda, Diplopoda and Pauropoda. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of Tömösváry’s birth, his unfortunately short though productive scientific career is overviewed, in this paper only from the myriapodological point of view. A list of the 32 new species and two new genera described by him are given and commented, together with a detailed bibliography of Tömösváry’s 24 myriapodological works and subsequent papers dealing with his taxa. INTRODUCTION Ödön Tömösváry is certainly one of the Hungarian zoologists (if not the only one) whose name is well- known worldwide. This is due to the discovery of a peculiar sensory organ which was later named after him, and it is called Tömösváry’s organ uniformly in almost all languages (French: organ de Tömösváry, German: Tömösvárysche Organ, Danish: Tömösvarys organ, Italian: organo di Tömösváry, Czech: Tömösváryho organ and Hungarian: Tömösváry-féle szerv). The organ itself is believed to be a sensory organ with some kind of chemical or olfactory function (Hopkin & Read 1992). However, although its structure was studied in many respects (Bedini & Mirolli 1967, Haupt 1971, 1973, 1979, Hennings 1904, 1906, Tichy 1972, 1973, Figures 4-6), the physiological background is still not clear today.
