Amicromias tricholepis sp. n. from Lesbos Island (Greece) is described. The new species differs by its unique morphological characters as well as an outstanding sexual dimorphism from all other representatives of the genus. A new key to the species of the recently revised genus Amicromias Reitter, 1912 is given.

Platelets are multifunctional cells that ensure the integrity of the vascular wall and modulate the immune response at the blood/vascular interface. Their pathological activation results in both thrombosis and inflammation and implicates them in the pathogenesis of vascular disease.

New localities of Hygrocybe salicis-herbaceae were observed during the research on the fungi of the alpine zone in the Carpathians. This is the first record of this arctic-alpine fungus in the South-Eastern Carpathians. Macro- and micromorphological characters of the Carpathian collections are compared with the descriptions from other regions. A re...
The objective of this study was to compare the mesio-distal tooth sizes in Saudi boys and girls among different malocclusions and to determine whether there is any gender dimorphism present.

As more and more genotypes become available, accuracy of genomic evaluations can potentially increase. However, the impact of genotype data on accuracy depends on the structure of the genotyped cohort. For populations such as dairy cattle, the greatest benefit has come from genotyping sires with high accuracy, whereas the benefit due to adding geno...

... The genus Amicromias Reitter, 1912 was recently revised by and supplemented by Białooki (2007) and Yunakov & Germann (2008). The genus thus includes 12 species known from the Balkans, Romania, Hungary, Turkey, Ukraine and southwestern Russia. ...
Five new species of Amicromias Reitter, 1912 from Greece are described, illustrated and compared with closely related species: A. cunevi sp. n., A. osellai sp. n., A. platanegrachei sp. n., A. thracicus sp. n. and A. yunakovi sp. n. The presently unknown male of A. intermedius Yunakov, 2005 is described. Amicromias fodori Yunakov, 2005 and A. intermedius Yunakov, 2005 are recorded for the first time from Greece. All Greek species of the genus are keyed and distributions are mapped.
... Literature on the weevil fauna of Lesbos is comparably scarce. Yunakov & Germann (2008) recorded eight species and Bahr et al. (2015) provided data on 31 additional species from Lesbos by various collectors (Grimm, Erhard & Schmalfuss, Schawaller, Paulus, all from the collection of the Museum Stuttgart, Germany) in their catalogue. Within the determination in the run-up of the present checklist, three species, preliminarily categorized as endemic to Lesbos, were described: Argoptochus sappho Germann, Borovec & Braunert, 2015, Pelletierellus bryophilus Germann, Borovec & Braunert, 2015, and Otiorhynchus theophrastus Białooki & Germann, 2016(Germann et al. 2015, Białooki & Germann 2016. ...

The results of an excursion to the northeastern Aegean Island of Lesbos focusing on Curculionoidea are presented. Altogether, including literature records of 38 species, 172 species of Curculionoidea are recorded. Four recently described species of Entiminae are thus far endemic to the island. A comparison with the weevil fauna of Samos Island shows a rather low overlap of 23% of species common to the two islands. Observations on feeding plants are given and remarkable records are discussed. Archarius anatoliensis (Voss, 1962) is new to the fauna of Greece. Thirteen species rarely mentioned and/or depicted and hence difficult to determine are illustrated in a picture gallery to facilitate their recognition.
... Only four species of the subgenus are widely distributed, well outside the eastern Mediterranean: O. balcanicus, O. brunneus Gyllenhal, 1834 (by some authors also regarded as belonging to the subgenus Arammichnus, Gozis, 1882), O. raucus (Fabricius, 1777) (type species of Asphaerorrhynchus Reitter, 1912, actually synonym of Choilisanus), and O. velutinus Germar, 1824. Recent investigations of the weevil fauna (Curculionoidea) of the two Aegean Islands, Samos (Germann et al., 2015a) and Lesbos, allowed exciting new discoveries, especially in the broad nosed weevil subfamily Entiminae (Yunakov & Germann, 2008;2012;Borovec & Germann, 2013;Germann et al., 2015b). During a recent excursion to Lesbos Island by the second author together with Carlo Braunert (Luxemb ourg) from 25th April to 1st May, 21 localities were sampled. ...
... In the Aegean, the islands Samos (from 2007 to 2013) and Lesbos (in 2015) were investigated. Whereas the detailed exploration of Samos (Germann et al. 2015) revealed up to now four new species-three Entiminae and one Cryptorhynchinae- (Borovec & Germann 2013;Yunakov & Germann 2008, 2012Germann 2012Germann , 2013, the first results from the excursion to Lesbos regarding the Entiminae are presented here. ...
Argoptochus sappho sp. n. and Pelletierellus bryophilus sp. n. from Lesbos island, Greece, Cathormiocerus kostali sp. n. from Morocco, and C. meyeri sp. n. from Portugal are described. New faunistic data are presented for Argoptochus moraveci Borovec, 2006, Cathormiocerus inflatiscapus Escalera, 1918, C. jeani (Borovec, 1989), C. longiscapus Pic, 1912, C. tenuiscapus Fairmaire, 1884, Pelletierellus bosnicus (Apfelbeck, 1898) and P. neglectus (Borovec, 1992). Males of Cathormiocerus inflatiscapus Escalera, 1918 and C. tenuiscapus Fairmaire, 1884 are described for the first time and the penises of these species are illustrated.
