WORKER MORPHOLOGY OF THE ANT GNAMPTOGENYS STRIATULA MAYR (FORMICIDAE, ECTATOMMINAE) IN DIFFERENT LANDSCAPES FROM THE ATLANTIC FOREST DOMAIN

Worker morphology of the ant Gnamptogenys striatula Mayr (Formicidae, Ectatomminae) in different landscapes from the Atlantic Forest domain

Morphological traits, such as size and shape, may reflect a combination of ecological and evolutionary responses by organisms.Ants have been used to evaluate the relationship between the environment and species coexistence and morphology.In the present study, we analyzed the morphology of workers of Gnamptogenys striatula Mayr in different landscap

Interplanetary mesoscale observatory (InterMeso): A mission to untangle dynamic mesoscale structures throughout the heliosphere

Mesoscale dynamics are a fundamental process in space physics, but fall within an observational gap of current and planned missions.Particularly in the solar wind, measurements at the mesoscales (100s RE to a few degrees heliographic longitude at 1 au) are wheel insert crucial for understanding the connection between the corona and an observer anyw

Single cell dual-omic atlas of the human developing retina

Abstract The development of the retina is under tight temporal and spatial control.To gain insights into the molecular basis of this process, we generate a single-nuclei dual-omic atlas of the human developing retina with approximately 220,000 Glider nuclei from 14 human embryos and fetuses aged between 8 and 23-weeks post-conception with matched m

Identification of two novel autism genes, TRPC4 and SCFD2, in Qatar simplex families through exome sequencing

This study investigated the genetic underpinnings of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a Middle Eastern cohort in Qatar using exome sequencing.The study identified six candidate autism genes in independent simplex families, including both four known and two novel autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive genes associated with ASD.The variants cons
