The urachus is an embryologic remnant of the cloaca that usually Wax degenerates after birth, resulting from the obliteration of the allantois, whose role is to connect the bladder to the umbilicus.Incomplete removal of the lumen may give rise to different malformations of the median umbilical ligament after birth.Although in the pediatric populati
The anatomy of the palate in Early Triassic Chaohusaurus brevifemoralis (Reptilia: Ichthyosauriformes) based on digital reconstruction
The palatal anatomy of ichthyosauriforms remains largely unknown.Here, the complete palate of the early-branching ichthyosauriform Chaohusaurus Baby Creams brevifemoralis is reconstructed and described for the first time with the assistance of high-resolution X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning on the basis of the three-dimensionally preserved

Abundance, production, and migrations of nesting green turtles at Rose Atoll, American Samoa, a regionally important rookery in the Central South Pacific Ocean
Sea turtles are a taxon of conservation concern and are highly migratory, exposing them to a variety of threats (e.g., fisheries bycatch, direct harvest) across their lifetime.Understanding the abundance of nesting females, hatchling production, and migratory movements - three of the most basic biological data needs for this species group - is impe
Photoevaporation and Close Encounters: How the Environment around Cygnus OB2 Affects the Evolution of Protoplanetary Disks
In our Galaxy, star formation occurs in a variety of environments, with a large fraction of stars formed in clusters hosting massive stars.OB stars have an important feedback on the evolution of protoplanetary disks orbiting around nearby young stars and likely on the process of planet formation occurring in them.The nearby massive association Cyg
