Perineuronal nets in motor circuitry regulate the performance of learned vocalizations in songbirds by Xinghaoyun Wan, Angela S. Wang, Daria-Salina Storch, Vivian Y. Li, Jon T. Sakata

“…Consequently, it is critical to understand the factors that regulate the performance of learned vocalizations. Across taxa, neural circuits underlying motor learning and control are replete with perineuronal nets (PNNs), and we analyzed how PNNs in vocal motor circuitry regulate the performance of learned song in zebra finches. …”

Functional insights from an exploration of the inner structure of the patella: new perspectives for the study of the hominin fossil record by Marine Cazenave

“…Here, we illustrate with a first example from a sample of human, Pan, Papio and Neanderthal patellae that the development of a "whole-bone" endostructural analysis has the potential to provide relevant functional information for reconstructing the knee loading environment in fossil taxa, combined, whenever necessary, with a subsampling approach. …”

Répartition de la biodiversité en France métropolitaine : une synthèse des Atlas faunistiques by Isabelle Witté, Julien Touroult

“…These data are commonly used to describe the distribution of individual species in France, but were rarely assembled in a multi-taxa study to reflect biodiversity as a whole. This paper is intended as a first step towards the valuation of data from faunal atlases on French territory. …”

Smaller Fleas: Viruses of Microorganisms by Paul Hyman, Stephen T. Abedon

“…This is roughly ten families per category—bacterial, archaeal, fungal, and protist—with some virus families infecting more than one of these microorganism major taxa. Such estimations, however, will vary with further discovery and taxon assignment and also are dependent upon what forms of life one includes among microorganisms.…”

Inventory of the vascular flora of the alkaline fen “Torbiera di Lipoi” (Veneto, northern Italy) by Katia Zanatta, Cesare Lasen, Alberto Scariot, Juri Nascimbene

“…Overall, 319 infrageneric taxa were listed. Results indicate that, despite natural reforestation triggered by the abandonment of the traditional management of the fen, most of the fen-related vascular species still occur, including red-listed species, although their populations have probably decreased over time. …”
