Uner Tan Syndrome: History, Clinical Evaluations, Genetics, and the\ud Dynamics of Human Quadrupedalism
No full textAbstract: This review includes for the first time a dynamical systems analysis of human quadrupedalism in Uner Tan syndrome, which is characterized by habitual quadrupedalism, impaired intelligence, and rudimentary speech. The first family was discovered in a small village near Iskenderun, and families were later found in Adana and two other small villages near Gaziantep and Canakkale. In all the affected individuals dynamic balance was impaired during upright walking,and they habitually preferred walking on all four extremities. MRI scans showed inferior cerebellovermian hypoplasia with slightly simplified cerebral gyri in three of the families, but appeared normal in the fourth. PET scans showed a decreased glucose metabolic activity in the cerebellum, vermis and, to a lesser extent the cerebral cortex, except for one patient,\ud
whose MRI scan also appeared to be normal. All four families had consanguineous marriages in their pedigrees,\ud
suggesting autosomal recessive transmission. The syndrome was genetically heterogeneous. Since the initial discoveries\ud
more cases have been found, and these exhibit facultative quadrupedal locomotion, and in one case, late childhood onset. It has been suggested that the human quadrupedalism may, at least, be a phenotypic example of reverse evolution. From the viewpoint of dynamic systems theory, it was concluded there may not be a single factor that predetermines human quadrupedalism in Uner Tan syndrome, but that it may involve self-organization, brain plasticity, and rewiring, from the many decentralized and local interactions among neuronal, genetic, and environmental subsystems

Additions to the moss flora of Endau Rompin National Park, Johore State, peninsular Malaysia
No full textIn a recent survey of the Endau Rompin National Park (ERNP) in Johore State, 81 species and 4 varieties of mosses were documented. This increases the previous count from 62 species and 3 varieties of mosses in ERNP to 111 species and 5 varieties in total. Of these, 30 species are new records for Johore State. Rhaphidostichum bunodicarpum and Trichosteleum stigmosum are two species new to Peninsular Malaysia. Thuidium assimile is a new record for West Malesia. A new combination, Papillidiopsis aquaticum (Dix.) Boon-Chuan Ho & B.C. Tan is proposed. In terms of species composition, the pan-tropical families of Calymperaceae, Fissidentaceae, Leucobryaceae and Sematophyllaceae predominate the moss flora of ERNP

M. K. Tan, 25 July 2014; 1 male (CIL.02.3.03, in alcohol), Central Catchment Nature Reserve, MacRitchie forest, near MacRitchie Nature Trail, disturbed forest, on leaf litter, coll. M. K. Tan, H. Yeo & R. W. J. Ngiam, 31 August 2014. Remarks. Type material along with new material were examined for comparison with the other Micrornebius species. Life history. Unlike the other Micrornebius species described here, Micrornebius kopisua tends to inhabit the leaf litter among leaves and plant parts near the ground (Fig. 2). They were not found to be hiding underneath tree bark so far.Published as part of Tan, Ming Kai, 2014, New species of small scaly crickets of genus Micrornebius (Orthoptera: Mogoplistidae; Mogoplistinae) from Singapore, pp. 117-126 in Zootaxa 3895 (1) on page 121, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3895.1.7, http://zenodo.org/record/22619
