Beds A–D are indurated cliff-forming strata identified in the accompanying field photographs (Textfigs 4, 5). Note the increase in marine influence as one ascends through the section, the fauna in Beds A and B being dominated by freshwater molluscs and land snails, with few brackish water specimens, whereas the biota in Bed D is frankly marine with a single specimen of the freshwater snail Pila. Bed C yielded Vermetus, oysters and sponges, but also contains abundant land snails and a low diversity of freshwater gastropods. in Large Mammals From The Rupelian Of Oman - Recent Finds

MOBSTER: Identifying Candidate Magnetic O Stars through Rotational Modulation of TESS Photometry

<p>O-type stars display rotational modulation of their photometric brightness due to surface features induced by fossil magnetic fields, and possibly through dynamos driven by subsurface convection. These features introduce wind perturbations that may drive large-scale structures and flows, including magnetospheres and corotating interaction regions. Until recently there has been a lack of high-precision, high-cadence photometry of O stars capable of detecting this variability. The wealth of new observations provided by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) offers an unparalleled opportunity to conduct comprehensive studies of O-star variability at the sub-mmag level. Using the Galactic O-Stars Catalogue (GOSC) we have identified a sample of confirmed Galactic O stars observed by TESS with existing high-resolution spectroscopy from the IACOB and OWN surveys. Frequency analysis of the photometry is preceded by a careful examination of potential blending sources. Existing spectroscopy of each candidate is employed to test the rotational modulation hypothesis. In this presentation we describe the preliminary results of our study and outline plans for future analysis.</p>

Fig. 6 in Novel molecular tools to identify Plecotus bats in sympatry and a review of their distribution in Switzerland

Fig. 6. Close-up views of the lower mandible of Plecotus bats illustrating the shape of the chin pad in the three species. Pictures were taken from genetically identified adult long-eared bats from Switzerland or France. In the first column is P. auritus, in the middle column P. macrobullaris and in the third P. austriacus. Notice the particular shape of the chin pad of P. macrobullaris, with elongated tip and distinctly concave sides.

Fig. 4. Bivariate plot of the length of upper tooth row (CM3) versus diameter of tympanic bulla (DBT) of 194 skulls of Plecotus. Blue squares represent skulls of P. auritus, violet circles skulls of P. macrobullaris and orange triangles skulls of P. austriacus. Plain symbols indicate genetically identified individuals, while hollow ones are from animals examined for skull morphology only. Coloured boxes indicate the species-specific measurement ranges given by Benda & Ivanova (2003) for Central European Plecotus and the grey bars represent the limit values of the two cranial measurements proposed by Blant et al. (2008) to identify the three species.

Fig. 2. Species-specific patterns of amplification of 16S fragments obtained in a single PCR cocktail. These fragments were resolved on a 1.6% agarose gel run for about 30 min at 60 V/m. A 100 bp molecular ladder was run on each side of the pictured agarose gel. Amplification products of diagnostic sizes appear on lane 1 for P. macrobullaris (at about 400 bp), on lane 2 for P. austriacus (350 bp), on lane 3 for the 'west' clade of P. auritus (300 bp) and on lane 4 for the 'east' clade of P. auritus (two bands at about 300 and 400 bp, respectively).
