Anatomy of the Ediacaran rangeomorph Charnia masoni
No full textThe Ediacaran macrofossil Charnia masoni Ford is perhaps the most iconic member of the Rangeomorpha: a group of seemingly sessile, frondose organisms that dominates late Ediacaran benthic, deep‐marine fossil assemblages. Despite C. masoni exhibiting broad palaeogeographical and stratigraphical ranges, there have been few morphological studies that consider the variation observed among populations of specimens derived from multiple global localities. We present an analysis of C. masoni that evaluates specimens from the UK, Canada and Russia, representing the largest morphological study of this taxon to date. We describe substantial morphological variation within C. masoni and present a new morphological model for this species that has significant implications both for interpretation of rangeomorph architecture, and potentially for existing taxonomic schemes. Previous reconstructions of Charnia include assumptions regarding the presence of structures seen in other rangeomorphs (e.g. an internal stalk) and of homogeneity in higher order branch morphology; observations that are not borne out by our investigations. We describe variation in the morphology of third and fourth order branches, as well as variation in gross structure near the base of the frond. The diagnosis of Charnia masoni is emended to take account of these new features. These findings highlight the need for large‐scale analyses of rangeomorph morphology in order to better understand the biology of this long‐enigmatic group

Remarks. A detailed description was given by Blanchard & Knudson (1985). Later, we indicated the unclear taxonomic position of Z. masoni (Yakovlev et al. 2019b), considering the distinct difference of the male genitalia of other Neotropical Zeuzerinae species currently known. Diagnosis. The species differs from the other congeners in the male externally and in the genital structure: the forewing has a very dense grey pattern which is significantly darker than in C. ophelia, with a black longitudinal stroke medially, from the base to the apex of the wing; the valve has a wavy saccular margin, significantly narrowed to the apex.

Earlier authors, such as Selys (1879) and Martin (1904), correctly ranked Euphaea masoni and E. guerini as two distinct species. Confusingly, Asahina (1977) downgraded masoni as a subspecies of guerini, a decision which was shown to be incorrect by Van Tol & Rozendaal (1995). Asahina (1977) described subspecies Euphaea guerini inouei (= E. masoni inouei) on the basis of ten males and three females from Lam Dong and Dak Lak provinces in southern Vietnam. Earlier Asahina (1969) had mixed the inouei specimens among specimens of the real E. guerini. According to the original description, the subspecies inouei is distinguished from masoni by the black markings on the FW extending less and by the more extensive hyaline part at the apex of the HW compared to Euphaea masoni (see also Asahina 1977). Van Tol & Rozendaal (1995) wrote: “ Whether inouei can be considered a distinct taxon, or only the extreme end of a clinal variation within masoni, should be investigated further.” Hämäläinen & Karube (2001) also urged the need to study the obvious clinal variation of masoni within its whole range in order to find out if subspecific splitting has a sound basis. Kosterin (2010, 2014) reported individual variation for these characters in Euphaea masoni in south-western Cambodia. The genital ligula and anal appendages of inouei are identical to those of masoni. It should be noted here that recently Hämäläinen (2016: 25, Note 39) listed Euphaea inouei as a good species based on morphological and unpublished molecular evidence. Here we have not attempted to separate our specimens from Vietnam into the taxa masoni and inouei, but list all of them simply as masoni. However, the wing upperside of males from Vietnam (and eastern Cambodia) show a strong iridescent coppery-red flash in sunshine and the HW underside, except for its distal part, shows a slight deep-blue flash. At the same time males from Thailand and south-western Cambodia of the typical Euphaea masoni, described from the border between Myanmar and Thailand, show only a very slight purple shine on the wing upperside and no flash on the wing underside (Kosterin 2014, 2016). These differences indicate the possibility that the Vietnamese populations concern a different taxon from Euphaea masoni sensu stricto. Euphaea masoni resembles E. guerini, E. hirta, and E. saola sp. nov. in body and wing coloration and structure of the anal appendages. However, males of these species can be separated by their abdominal setae tuft patterns visible in lateral view (Fig. 15). In Euphaea masoni, only S3 has setae (Fig. 15d), but in other species tufts of setae are present on several other abdominal segments (Fig. 15a–c). The upper hindwing of Euphaea masoni males shows an iridescent coppery-red flash. In Euphaea hirta this flash is even brighter. By contrast, this flash is green, not red, in E. guerini and E. saola sp. nov. Vesicle of Euphaea masoni (Fig. 18e) is similar to those of E. guerini (Fig. 18c) and E. hirta (Fig. 18d) with its posterior margin rounded. Females of Euphaea masoni can be distinguished from those of E. hirta, E. guerini, and E. saola sp. nov. by wider yellowish stripes on head, thorax, and abdomen (Fig. 16c), although identification is complicated as a result of different stages of maturity being more or less extensively marked. For additional differences with Euphaea hirta see below under that species. Distribution.

Anatomy of the Ediacaran rangeomorph <i>Charnia masoni</i>
No full textThe Ediacaran macrofossil Charnia masoni Ford is perhaps the most iconic member of the Rangeomorpha: a group of seemingly sessile, frondose organisms that dominates late Ediacaran benthic, deep-marine fossil assemblages. Despite C. masoni exhibiting broad palaeogeographic and stratigraphic ranges, there have been few morphological studies that consider the variation observed amongst populations of specimens derived from multiple global localities. We present an analysis of C. masoni that evaluates specimens from the UK, Canada and Russia, representing the largest morphological study of this taxon to date. We describe substantial morphological variation within C. masoni and present a new morphological model for this species that has significant implications both for interpretation of rangeomorph architecture, and potentially for existing taxonomic schemes. Previous reconstructions of Charnia include assumptions regarding the presence of structures seen in other rangeomorphs (e.g. an internal stalk) and of homogeneity in higher order branch morphology; observations that are not borne out by our investigations. We describe variation in the morphology of third and fourth order branches, as well as variation in gross structure near the base of the frond. The diagnosis of Charnia masoni is emended to take account of these new features. These findings highlight the need for large-scale analyses of rangeomorph morphology in order to better understand the biology of this long-enigmatic group
Nutritional status and Adiponectine plasma levels in patients affected by Anorexia Nervosa

levels in patients affected by Anorexia Nervosa

Department of Internal Medicine, University of Pisa, Italy
Background: Anorexia Nervosa (AN) is prevalent in modern
societies but is not well understood yet.
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate circulating levels of
Adiponectine (Apn) and the relationship between these levels
and anthropometric and metabolic parameters.
Materials and methods: The study included 40 women, 20
with AN (BMI 15Æ7 ± 2Æ1 kg m)2, age 30Æ2 ± 10Æ5 years), 12
restricter (BMI 14Æ9 ± 1Æ6 kgm)2) and 8 binge-purge subtype (BMI
18Æ3 ± 0Æ8 kg m)2), and 20 healthy controls (BMI 22Æ06 ± 0Æ93 kg
m)2, age 32Æ4 ± 4Æ4 years). Food intake was evaluated by a 5-day
24 hour dietary recall.
Results: Apn was higher (P < 0Æ001) in AN (36Æ84 ± 13Æ12 ng
mL)1) than controls (15Æ1 ± 3Æ0 ng mL)1) and (P = 0Æ004) in restricter
(41Æ8 ± 11Æ0 ng mL)1) than in binge-purge AN subtype
(22Æ1 ± 4Æ5 ng mL)1). Apn levels were negatively related with
BMI in total population (AN + C), without significance.
Total and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol levels
were higher (P < 0Æ05; P = 0Æ001) in AN (193Æ09 ± 39Æ86 mg
dL)1; 107Æ95 ± 27Æ75 mg dL)1) than C (166Æ09 ± 13Æ70 mg dL)1;
83Æ6 ± 15 mg dL)1), while Albumin was lower (P < 0Æ05) in
AN than C (4Æ40 ± 0Æ41 vs. 4Æ65 ± 0Æ57 g dL)1); no difference
between restricter and binge-purge subtype. Prealbumin and C
Somatomedine were similar in AN and C because of these
parameters rapidly change with changing of nutritional habits,
and the study’s patients were already included into nutritional
educational program: although their daily caloric intake was
lower than the recommended assumption levels of nutrients
(LARN, National Institute of Nutrition), the caloric division
between macronutrients was correct.
Conclusions: Increase of Apn in AN might be related to fat
mass reduction, in fact Apn progressively increase in losing
weight obese, or fat mass might exert negative feedback on Apn production, the severe emaciation in AN could inhibit
this feedback
