Restos de Allosauroideo (Theropoda, Tetanurae) de la formación sierra barrosa (Coniaciano Medio, Cretácico Superior), Patagonia, Argentina

La fauna de terópodos del Cretácico Tardío de América del Sur está compuesta por Abelisauridae, Noasauridae, Carcharodontosauridae, Spinosauridae, Megaraptora y Coelurosauria. Estos grupos incluyen mayormente taxones de pequeño (Noasauridae y Coelurosauria) y de mediano a gran tamaño (Abelisauridae, Carcharodontosauridae y Megaraptora). Algunos de estos linajes son predominantemente gondwánicos (Abelisauridae, Noasauridae, Carcharodontosauridae, Megaraptora) y poco representados en los continentes laurásicos. Particularmente, distintos terópodos han sido reportados desde la Patagonia, conocidos o por sus distintivas características anatómicas o por su grado de preservación, tales como Carnotaurus, Skorpiovenator, Giganotosaurus, Megaraptor, Alvarezsaurus y Unenlagia. Aquí describimos una nueva tibia incompleta (MAU-PV-CM-653) proveniente de la Formación Sierra Barrosa (Coniaciano medio, Cretácico Superior), Patagonia, Argentina. MAU-PV-CM-653 muestra una cresta cnemial reducida anteroposteriormente, que está fuertemente curvada lateralmente. Finalmente, la tibia carece de una extensión proximal de la cresta fibular. Estos rasgos hacen recordar una morfología de tetanuro y, junto con la procedencia estratigráfica de MAU-PV-CM-653, nos permite asignarla a un terópodo allosauroideo, y por ende mejorar el registro global de Allosauroidea para la parte media del Cretácico Tardío.The late Cretaceous theropod fauna of South America is composed of Abelisauridae, Noasauridae, Spinosauridae, Carcharodontosauridae, Megaraptora, and Coelurosauria. These groups include mostly small (Noasauridae and Coelurosauria) and medium to- tolarge-sized taxa (Carcharodontosauridae, Abelisauridae, and Megaraptora). Some of these lineages are predominantly Gondwanic (Abelisauridae, Noasauridae, Carcharodontosauridae, Megaraptora) and poorly represented in Laurasian landmasses. Particularly, several theropods have been reported from Patagonia, known either due to distinct anatomical features or due to their high degree of preservation, such as Carnotaurus, Skorpiovenator, Giganotosaurus, Megaraptor, Alvarezsaurus, and Unenlagia. here we describe a new incomplete tibia (MAU-PV-CM-653) from the Sierra Barrosa Formation (middle Coniacian, Upper Cretaceous), Patagonia, Argentina. MAU-PV-CM-653 shows an anteroposteriorly reduced cnemial crest that is strongly curved laterally. Finally, the tibia lacks a proximal extension of the fibular crest. These traits are reminiscent of tetanuran morphology and, together with the stratigraphic provenance of MAU-PV-CM-653, they allow us to assign it to an allosauroid theropod, thus improving the Allosauroidea global record for the middle Late Cretaceous.Fil: Baiano, Mattia Antonio.

Hacia una nueva concepción ontológica de la Naturaleza. : Merleau- Ponty y la idea de «ser necesario» en Descartes, Kant y Schelling

In this writing we will make an approach to the concept of nature, from the early philosophers of Physis to Schelling’s Idealism. For this, we will follow the interpretation that the thinker Merleau-Ponty makes on this concept from Kant and Schelling’s responses to Descartes’ «ontological argument».En este escrito realizaremos un aproximamiento al concepto de naturaleza, desde los primeros filósofos de la Physis hasta el Idealismo de Schelling. Para ello, seguiremos la interpretación que el pensador Merleau-Ponty realiza sobre este concepto a partir de las respuestas de Kant y Schelling al «argumento ontológico» de Descartes

Morphology and histology of osteoderms from a Peirosaurid from the Neuquen basin

Se describen osteodermos de un nuevo ejemplar de crocodyliforme hallado en un afloramiento correspondiente a niveles de la Formación Plottier (Coniaciano tardío) de la localidad de Puesto Hernández, en inmediaciones de la localidad de Rincón de los Sauces, Provincia del Neuquén. Los osteodermos estudiados, que son parte del material hallado, están integrados por: región dorso-sacra, osteodermos apendiculares asociados al fémur derecho, región proximoventral de osteodermos caudales articulados y osteodermos aislados. La histología de los osteodermos permitió determinar que están constituidos por una corteza compacta que circunda una región interna más porosa. Fue posible reconocer marcas de crecimiento (annuli) en prácticamente todo el tejido compacto, pudiendo determinarse una edad mínima de 18 años para el espécimen estudiado. Los osteodermos exhiben caracteres que permiten preliminarmente asignar al ejemplar MAU-Pv-PH-437, como un Mesoeucrocodylia cercanamente relacionado con Peirosauridae.Osteoderms of a new crocodyliform specimen recovered from the Puesto Hernández locality are described here, found in sediments of the Plottier Formation (late Coniacian), near Rincón de los Sauces city, Neuquén Province. The studied osteoderms, that are part of the associated material, include: dorso-sacral region, appendicular osteoderms associated to the right femur, proximoventral region of articulated caudal osteoderms, and isolated osteoderms. The histology of the osteoderms allowed determining they have a compact cortex that surrounds a more cancellous internal region. It was possible to recognize growth marks (annuli) in the entire compact tissue, indicating a minimum age of 18 years for the studied specimen. The osteoderms have characters that allow preliminarily assigning the specimen MAU-Pv-PH-437 to Mesoeucrocodylia closely related to Peirosauridae.Fil: Filippi, Leonardo Sebastián.

New remains of Prochelidella in the Anacleto Formation (Campanian levels) of Neuquén basin, Patagonia, Argentina

The new turtle remains presented here were recovered from the Anacleto Formation (Campanian) exposed in the Aguada Grande site. This area is located 10 km south of Rincón de Los Sauces city, inthe north of the province of Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina. The specimen (MAU-Pv-AG-452)consists of a partially preserved skull, carapace remains, an almost complete plastron, and a leftilium. The new specimen is assigned to Pleurodira because its ilium is sutured to the carapace. Both Parietals, the posterior part of frontals and post orbitals, the dorsal region of the supraoccipital, both pterygoids, the basisphenoid, and part of the prootics are recognized in the skull. The carapace remains are represented by a left first costal bone in articulation with a peripheral bone, a left paired costal bone, and another fragmented coastal. The plastron is represented by both epiplastra, theen plastron, left hyoplastron, both hypoplastra, and the left xiphiplastron. The skull shows somecharacters that allow its referral to Prochelidella spp. (e.g., a developed retropterygoid foramen, and a big muscle attachment area over the basisphenoid). The visceral view of the first costal bone exhibitslong auxiliary buttresses that extend 2/3 of the costal width. This condition is also observed in the costal bone of Prochelidella buitreraensis from the Candeleros Formation (Cenomanian). The scutepattern observed in the anterior lobe of the plastron shows a large gular that extends along theentoplastral length and small extragulars over the epiplastra. In contrast, on the scheme observed inProchelidella cerrobarcinae and Prochelidella portezuelae, the gular does not extend beyond the first third of the entoplastron. The material recovered from the Anacleto Formation represents the most complete specimen outside the Prochelidella peak of diversity range (Albian Cenomanian) and the second skull recognized in this genusFil: Maniel, Ignacio Jorge.

How Common Are Lesions on the Tails of Sauropods? Two New Pathologies in Titanosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of Argentine Patagonia

Studies of the paleopathology of the vertebrae provide an interesting, oblique approach to their paleobiology and even paleoethology. They tell us about possible ethological causes such as accidental blows with objects, social interactions within a group, and defense against predators, etc. There are numerous works on the anatomical and phylogenetic aspects of sauropod dinosaurs, and in recent years paleopathological studies have also increased. Here, we describe the injuries recorded in the caudal vertebrae of two indeterminate titanosaurids, and undertake a compilation and analysis of the pathological fossil record worldwide, focusing on the tails of sauropods. Two pathologies have been identified as present in the indeterminate titanosaurids under study: a possible case of spondyloarthropathy in MAU-Pv-LI-601, and a case of suppurative spinal osteomyelitis in MAU-Pv-LJ-472/1. Both titanosaurids are from Gondwana. In the world registry of pathologies associated with the tails of sauropod dinosaurs, it is observed that titanosaurs are the sauropods with the highest percentage of diagnosed pathologies (69% including the two new records from the province of Neuquén) and that all of these have been described in Gondwanan specimens

New abelisaurid skeletal remains from La Invernada (Bajo de la Carpa Formation, Santonian), northwestern Patagonia, Argentina

The La invernada fossil area (Bajo de la Carpa Formation, Santonian) has provided abundant dinosaur remains, which are mainly represented by titanosauriform sauropods and abelisaurid theropods. The latter include Viavenator exxoni and other partial skeletons. Recently a new abelisaurid specimen (MAu-Pv-Li-665) was found in La invernada, which consists of three vertebrae (anterior cervical, cervico-dorsal and dorsal) and cervical and dorsal ribs, found closely associated.Fil: Gianechini, Federico Abel.

ANÁLISE FITOSSOCIOLÓGICA DA PRAÇA CAMILO MÉRCIO NO CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE SÃO GABRIEL, RS.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo apresentar a análise fitossociológica da Praça Camilo Mércio, situada na cidade de São Gabriel, RS. O estudo desta área deveu-se a sua importância histórica e também por ser um espaço livre público de intenso uso. Neste foi realizado um censo da vegetação onde obteve-se medidas como altura total (H), altura da primeira bifurcação (HB) e circunferência a altura do peito (CAP). A análise fitossociológica demonstrou que Grevillea robusta A. Cunn. ex R. Br, Ligustrum japonicum Thunb. e Tipuana tipu (Benth.) Kuntze tiveram maior densidade relativa, dominância absoluta e relativa e índices de valor de cobertura. O índice de Shannon-Weaver atingiu o valor de 3,03 na Praça Camilo Mércio, determinando assim uma diversidade considerada média

ENIGMA and global neuroscience: A decade of large-scale studies of the brain in health and disease across more than 40 countries.

This review summarizes the last decade of work by the ENIGMA (Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta Analysis) Consortium, a global alliance of over 1400 scientists across 43 countries, studying the human brain in health and disease. Building on large-scale genetic studies that discovered the first robustly replicated genetic loci associated with brain metrics, ENIGMA has diversified into over 50 working groups (WGs), pooling worldwide data and expertise to answer fundamental questions in neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, and genetics. Most ENIGMA WGs focus on specific psychiatric and neurological conditions, other WGs study normal variation due to sex and gender differences, or development and aging; still other WGs develop methodological pipelines and tools to facilitate harmonized analyses of "big data" (i.e., genetic and epigenetic data, multimodal MRI, and electroencephalography data). These international efforts have yielded the largest neuroimaging studies to date in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorders, epilepsy, and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. More recent ENIGMA WGs have formed to study anxiety disorders, suicidal thoughts and behavior, sleep and insomnia, eating disorders, irritability, brain injury, antisocial personality and conduct disorder, and dissociative identity disorder. Here, we summarize the first decade of ENIGMA's activities and ongoing projects, and describe the successes and challenges encountered along the way. We highlight the advantages of collaborative large-scale coordinated data analyses for testing reproducibility and robustness of findings, offering the opportunity to identify brain systems involved in clinical syndromes across diverse samples and associated genetic, environmental, demographic, cognitive, and psychosocial factors
