Summary: The Mambawakale ruhuhu fossil specimen from the Manda Beds of southwest Tanzania provides important insights into the early radiation of archosaurian reptiles. It possesses unique cranial features that distinguish it from other archosaurs in the Manda Beds, and is considered to be an early diverging pseudosuchian. It is one of the largest pseudosuchians known from the Middle Triassic.

Summary: Neopterygii is a taxonomically diverse clade of ray-finned fishes, including the stem group of large-sized neopterygians, Colobodontidae, which has been discovered to have a more rapid diversification than previously thought. The new species, Feroxichthys panzhouensis sp. nov., shows unique features and a body form that suggests an adaptation to structurally complex habitats. Additionally, the findings provide important insights into the morphological and ecological diversity of neopterygian fishes in the Triassic marine ecosystems of South China.

Summary: Examination of fungal specimens collected in the Atlantic rain forest ecosystems of Northeast Brazil revealed many potentially new species of Glomeromycota, with two closely related fungi forming glomerocarps. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that these two fungi represent two divergent undescribed species in the family Glomeraceae, with one placed in the genus Dominikia and the other in a sister clade to the genus Kamienskia.

Summary: Many filamentous and sarcinoid terrestrial or freshwater green algae previously classified in Chlorophyceae are actually members of lineages belonging to Ulvophyceae. A new genus and species of green algae, Ulosarcina terrestrica, was described based on comprehensive studies of previously classified green algae.

Summary: This study isolated and cultivated five unknown bacterial strains from polluted soil and conducted a taxonomic research, identifying them as new species. These bacteria showed resistance to heavy metals and the ability to metabolize aromatic compounds, indicating their adaptation to polluted soil environments.

Summary: In a survey of dung from herbivorous animals in natural areas in Spain, a new species of Alternaria in the Chalastospora section was discovered. This new species, named Alternaria muriformis sp. nov., is closely related to other Alternaria species (Alternaria abundans, Alternaria armoraciae, and Alternaria breviramosa), but can be distinguished by the morphology of its conidia. The study also provides key morphological features of the Chalastospora section.

Summary: Two new bacterial strains, Marseille-P2698(T) and Marseille-P2260(T), were isolated from human stools using the culturomic method. These two strains were fully described using the taxonogenomic approach. Marseille-P2698(T) was identified as a Gram-negative, motile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium, while Marseille-P2260(T) was identified as a Gram-positive, motile, spore-forming rod-shaped bacterium.

Summary: The Late Triassic Malmros Klint Formation in Jameson Land, Greenland has revealed a new non-sauropod sauropodomorph named Issi saaneq, distinguished by unique anatomical features. It shows affinities to Brazilian plateosaurids and European Plateosaurus, expanding our understanding of the evolution of plateosaurid sauropodomorphs as the northernmost record of its kind and a newly erected dinosaur species in Greenland.

Summary: This study describes a new species Anaerococcus urinomassiliensis, isolated from the urine of a 17-year-old boy with autoimmune hepatitis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The strain exhibits specific genetic characteristics, is primarily of human origin, and belongs to the genus of anaerobic bacteria.

Summary: This study describes a new species, Chrysosphaerella septentrionalis, found in a peat bog on the bank of the Paz River in the Murmansk Region, Russia. The species closely resembles C. longispina, but can be differentiated by its smaller subcircular scales. The study also proposes an infrageneric classification for the genus Chrysosphaerella and introduces a new family, Chrysosphaerellaceae fam. nov.

Summary: A new coniferous trunk, Megaporoxylon sinensis sp. nov., was discovered in the Carnian-Norian formation in northwestern China, indicating its importance in terrestrial ecosystems during that period. This finding also suggests a floristic exchange between Gondwana and Laurasia. The diversity of conifers in northern China was found to be higher than previously thought.

Summary: During an examination of Spanish Anthrenus spp. in Andreas Herrmann's private collection, four specimens of a new species, Anthrenus (Anthrenus) semipallens, were discovered. The habitus features, including antenna, were analyzed and compared with other Anthrenus species in Spain. Despite differences in color pattern, the possibility that A. semipallens is an unknown color variant of a comparison species was considered. However, after dissecting the specimens and comparing the aedeagus, it was confirmed that Anthrenus semipallens is a valid new species.

Summary: The diatom Berkeleya transfretana is a new species discovered in the intertidal coastal area of Ceuta, North Africa, characterized by its small size and dense striae pattern. The study used light and scanning electron microscopy to describe and compare the new species with related taxa, highlighting the biodiversity of benthic communities in these rocky beaches that are still largely unexplored.

Summary: Enameloid in shark teeth is a complex structure resulting from ameloblast and odontoblast activity, forming subunits like Single Crystallite Enameloid (SCE) and Bundled Crystallite Enameloid (BCE). Research using Focused Ion Beam Nanotomography reveals a strong connection between SCE and BCE, aiding in understanding the evolution of tooth structure in sharks.

Summary: Sibert and Rubin claim to have identified a major extinction event of open-ocean sharks in the early Miocene, but other researchers argue that their interpretations are flawed due to the experimental design not accounting for certain variables.

Summary: The study presents a taxonomic analysis of a diverse chondrichthyan fauna from the Middle-Late Triassic interval in the Nimaigu locality in Guizhou Province, South China. The fauna is unique for its dominance of cladodont-like dentition sharks and lack of durophagous euselachians, distinguishing it from contemporaneous shark faunas worldwide. Transitional features between ancient sharks and modern sharks are documented, providing new insights into the replacement pattern of these species.

Summary: The study revised the systematic status of ancient neurocrania found in the Autun Basin and the Bourbon l'Archambault Basin in France using new methods, proposing a new systematic classification and revealing their hidden anatomy. Through comparative analysis, an evolutionary transition between chondrichthyan groups, particularly in the ethmo-orbital region, was identified.

Summary: The study revealed the diversity of xenacanthiform fauna from the Autun Basin, with the discovery of a new species Triodus aeduorum sp. nov. sparking discussions on the validity of other Triodus species from the same locality. This highlights the endemism of Triodus species in each European Carboniferous-Permian basin.
