A new species of Antarctic dragonfish, Akarotaxis gouldae or Banded Dragonfish, has been discovered in waters off the western Antarctic Peninsula by researchers at William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS). The species, named in honor of the recently decommissioned Antarctic research and supply vessel (ARSV) Laurence M. Gould and its crew, exemplifies both the unknown biodiversity and fragile state of the Antarctic ecosystem. Described in the journal Zootaxa, Akarotaxis gouldae was initially identified through genetic analysis. Larval specimens collected off the coast of Antarctica while trawling for zooplankton were originally thought to be Akarotaxis nudiceps, a closely related dragonfish. However, after comparing their DNA to Akarotaxis nudiceps specimens housed in collections at VIMS, Yale University and the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris, France, significant variations in mitochondrial gene regions suggested the larval samples were a species unto themselves.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

There’s lots to love about the saltwater crocodile, since they’re the largest living reptile in the world! Males can grow 6m (20ft) long and weigh up to 1,500 kg (3,3000 lbs). The largest specimin was likely over 7 m (23 ft) range, based on the skull currently housed in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in France.

PATRIMOINE | Dinosaure : nouvelle espèce découverte en Charente ➽ https://bit.ly/Dinosaure-Charente L'été dernier, de nouvelles découvertes d'os de dinosaures, vieux de 140 millions d'années, ont été faites sur le chantier de fouilles d'Angeac-Charente. Ces fossiles seront acheminés prochainement au Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle

Plaque en hommage à : Edmond Becquerel

Type : Lieu de travail

Adresse : Jardin des Plantes, 57 rue Cuvier, 75005 Paris, France

Date de pose : Inconnue

Texte : Ici en 1839, Edmond Becquerel a découvert l'effet photovoltaïque

Quelques précisions : Edmond Becquerel (1820-1891) est un physicien français. Il est connu pour avoir découvert l'effet photovoltaïque en 1839 et pour avoir créé la première photographie couleur en 1848. Il fut professeur au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle et Président de l'Académie des sciences. Son fils Henri fut également physicien (une plaque, proche de celle présentée ici, commémore sa découverte de la radioactivité).

Customer Profile Board and Synopsis

My customer is a traveling fashion exhibition. The exhibition will feature in Natural History Museums as a ‘Landforms and Landscapes’ inspired collection. Many museums include London Natural History Museum, The American Museum of Natural History (New York), The Muséum National D'histoire Naturelle (Paris National Museum of Natural History), The Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milano (Milan Natural History Museum), Oxford University Museum of Natural History, National Museum of Nature and Science (Tokyo), Beijing Museum of Natural History, and the National Museum of Natural History (Washington, D.C).  

The exhibition will contain the ‘Landforms and Landscapes’ inspired collection, as well as visuals of the inspiration and images of landforms. It will also be interactive as samples of fabric and textures will be placed around the gallery for exhibitors to touch. The gallery will be a free access unless the museum that the exhibition is based in is already free, and it will also be accessible to anyone and all ages, giving anyone the chance to experience.  

List of Museums:

Researchers reporting in the journal Current Biology on December 4 have found the earliest-known fossil mosquito in Lower Cretaceous amber from Lebanon. What's more, the well-preserved insects are two males of the same species with piercing mouthparts, suggesting they likely sucked blood. That's noteworthy because, among modern-day mosquitoes, only females are hematophagous, meaning that they use piercing mouthparts to feed on the blood of people and other animals. "Lebanese amber is, to date, the oldest amber with intensive biological inclusions, and it is a very important material as its formation is contemporaneous with the appearance and beginning of radiation of flowering plants, with all what follows of co-evolution between pollinators and flowering plants," says Dany Azar of the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Lebanese University. "Molecular dating suggested that the family Culicidae arose during the Jurassic, but previously the oldest record was mid-Cretaceous," says André Nel of the National Museum of Natural History of Paris (Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle de Paris). "Here we have one from the early Cretaceous, about 30 million years before." The Culicidae family of arthropods includes more than 3,000 species of mosquitoes. The new findings suggest that male mosquitoes in the past fed on blood as well, according to the researchers. They also help to narrow the "ghost-lineage gap" for mosquitoes, they say.
