A Single, Shared Triploidy in Three Species of Parasitic Nematodes
G3-GENES GENOMES GENETICS, 10(1), 225–233.
author keywords: polyploidy; evolutionary model; root-knot nematode
MeSH headings : Animals; Evolution, Molecular; Genome, Helminth; Phylogeny; Triploidy; Tylenchoidea / classification; Tylenchoidea / genetics
TL;DR:
Three root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne descend from a single common hybridization event that yielded triplicated genomes with three distinguishable subgenomes, and ancestral loci where two of the three gene copies have been lost are less likely to have orthologs in Caenorhabditis elegans that are lethal when knocked down than are ancestral locu with surviving duplicate copies.

Assumptions of authority: the story of Sue the T-rex and controversy over access to fossils
HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE LIFE SCIENCES, 42(1).
author keywords: Paleontology; Dinosaurs; Professionalization; Commercialization; Valuation; Boundary objects; Boundary-work; Access; Ownership; Expertise
MeSH headings : Animals; Dinosaurs; Fossils / history; History, 20th Century; History, 21st Century; Ownership; Paleontology / history; Specimen Handling / history
TL;DR:
This article addresses the story of "Sue", the largest, most complete, and most expensive Tyrannosaurus rex ever excavated-whose discovery incited a series of high-profile legal battles throughout the 1990s over the question of "Who owns Sue", and argues that assumptions of authority are responsible for initiating and sustaining debates over fossil access.

Effect of silver nanoparticles on gill membranes of common carp: Modification of fatty acid profile, lipid peroxidation and membrane fluidity
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION, 256.
author keywords: Toxicity; Silver nanoparticles; Fatty acid; Membrane; Gill
MeSH headings : Animals; Carps / physiology; Fatty Acids / metabolism; Gills / drug effects; Gills / metabolism; Lipid Peroxidation / drug effects; Membrane Fluidity / drug effects; Metal Nanoparticles / toxicity; Silver / toxicity
TL;DR:
The results suggest that the mechanism of AgNPs membrane toxicity involves the oxidization of long-chain omega-3 unsaturated FAs to saturated FAs via lipid peroxidation, resulting in, decreased membrane fluidity and ultimately the destruction of the normal physiological function of the fish gill membrane.

Growing up Tyrannosaurus rex : Osteohistology refutes the pygmy “ Nanotyrannus ” and supports ontogenetic niche partitioning in juvenile Tyrannosaurus
Science Advances, 6(1).
MeSH headings : Animals; Body Size; Bone and Bones / ultrastructure; Dinosaurs / anatomy & histology; Femur / ultrastructure; Fossils / ultrastructure; Tibia / ultrastructure; Tooth / ultrastructure
TL;DR:
Together, the results support the synonomization of “Nanotyrannus” into Tyrannosaurus and fail to support the hypothesized presence of a sympatric tyrannosaurid species of markedly smaller adult body size, but suggest that this species singularly exploited mid- to large-sized theropod niches at the end of the Cretaceous.
