New fossil arthropods (Notostraca and Insecta: Syntonopterida) in the Continental Middle Permian of Provence (Bas-Argens Basin, France).
2009
9 pages; Apart frequent and relatively common ichnites, only a few body fossils (Ostracoda) have been mentioned in the Red Continental Permian formations of Provence till these last years. During 2006 and 2007 field researches, new arthropods have been discovered in the Pradineaux Formation of the Bas-Argens. They are Triopsidae (Crustacea, Notostraca) and an insect wing (Syntonopteridae) corresponding to a new genus and species Gallolithoneura butchlii gen. et sp. n. This latter is the first insect record in the Permian of Provence and the youngest one of this enigmatic Carboniferous paleopteran family. As in the other French Permian basins (Lodève, Saint-Affrique), these discoveries demon…
Complete subunit sequences, structure and evolution of the 6 x 6-mer hemocyanin from the common house centipede, Scutigera coleoptrata.
2003
Hemocyanins are large oligomeric copper-containing proteins that serve for the transport of oxygen in many arthropod species. While studied in detail in the Chelicerata and Crustacea, hemocyanins had long been considered unnecessary in the Myriapoda. Here we report the complete molecular structure of the hemocyanin from the common house centipede Scutigera coleoptrata (Myriapoda: Chilopoda), as deduced from 2D-gel electrophoresis, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, protein and cDNA sequencing, and homology modeling. This is the first myriapod hemocyanin to be fully sequenced, and allows the investigation of hemocyanin structure-function relationship and evolution. S. coleoptrata hemocyanin is a 6…
Etude expérimentale de l'incorporation du strontium et du magnésium dans les valves d'un ostracode d'eau douce, Herpetocypris brevicaudata (Crustacea…
1997
Resume L'etude geochimique des valves adultes et juveniles (stade 8) d'Herpetocypris brevicaudata, calcifiees en laboratoire, dans une eau portee a quatre temperatures maintenues constantes (12,4; 14,6; 19,8; 23,3 °C), a mis en evidence l'influence du processus de calcification sur l'incorporation du strontium et du magnesium, et a montre que la temperature de l'eau ne modifie pas la teneur en Mg des valves d'H. brevicaudata. Les coefficients de partition D(Sr) et D(Mg) sont determines pour la premiere fois pour cette espece: adulte: D(Sr) = 0,195 ± 0,013 et D(Mg) = 0,0171 ± 0,0018; juvenile: D(Sr) = 0,198 ± 0,009 et D(Mg) = 0,0208 ± 0,0008.
Fossil representatives of the family Greenideidae (Hemiptera, Aphidoidea) from the Miocene of Europe
2002
Abstract Four new aphid species (Hemiptera, Aphidoidea, Greenideidae) are described on the basis of imprints in oil-shales from the Miocene of Europe (Rubielos de Mora, Spain; Vishnevaya Balka 〚Stavropol〛, Russia): Eutrichosiphum europaeum nov. sp., Greenidea hispanica nov. sp., Greenideoida (Pentatrichosiphum) turolensis nov. sp. and Mollitrichosiphum rubusensis nov. sp. All the taxa are placed within recent genera of the subfamily Greenideinae. Miocene representatives of this subfamily have been found in the south of Europe. Later changes of climatic conditions limited its geographic range to south-eastern Asia, where it is now represented by over 130 species of seven genera.
A new species of Tococladidae CARPENTER, 1966 from the Permian of France (Insecta: Archaeorthoptera)
2003
Abstract A new forewing venation pattern of the Tococladidae is proposed and the phylogenetic affinities of this family are discussed, based on Tococladus garrici nov. sp. This fossil comes from the Salagou Formation (Permian, Saxonian Group, Lodeve basin, France). The Tococladidae is assigned to the Archaeorthoptera BETHOUX and NEL, 2002 . The biostratigraphic implications of this discovery are briefly discussed, but it is still not possible to infer any definite conclusion about the age of this formation.
Palaeophylloxera nov. gen., The firstfossil specimen of the family Phylloxeridae (Hemiptera, Phylloxeroidea); Lower Miocene of Spain
1999
A fossil alate aphid from the Lower Aragonian (Lower Miocene) deposits of Rubielos de Mora (Teruelprovince) in eastern Spain is described as Palaeophylloxera seilacheri nov. gen. and sp. It is the first fossil specimen described within the Family Phylloxeridae. The principal differences between this genus and other representatives of the Phylloxeridae (and also the extinct Elektraphididae) are the apparent presence of an oblique vein on the hind wing, the presence of distinctly visible transverse striae on antennal segment III, and the peculier venation on the fore wings.
Biocénoses à triopsidés(Crustacea, Branchiopoda) du Permien du bassin de Lodève (France)
1997
Resume Nous decrivons les triopsides (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) qui abondent dans les facies “saxoniens” de la Formation du Salagou du bassin de Lodeve date “Thuringien” ou “Saxonien” selon les auteurs. A partir de milliers de debris de carapaces, d'axes thoraco-abdominaux et plus rarement a partir d'animaux entiers, nous avons identifie et decrit deux especes nouvelles: Triops cancriformis permiensis nov. ssp. et Lepidurus occitaniacus nov. sp., morphologiquement proches d' especes actuelles. En se basant sur les preferences ecologiques des triopsides actuels et les caracteristiques sedimentologiques de leur milieu de vie au Permien, nous avons confirme l'existence d'etendues d'eau, peu pro…
Saxonagrion minutus nov. gen. et sp., the oldest damselfly from the Upper Permian of France (Odonatoptera, Panodonata, Saxonagrionidae nov. fam.)
1999
Abstract Saxonagrion minutus nov. gen. et sp. was found in the Saxonian (Salagou Formation) of the Lodeve basin. It is the oldest and the first record of the modern infra-order Panodonata in the Palaezoic (Upper Permian of France). The present discovery supports the hypothesis concerning the persistance of many groups of Odonatoptera through the Permo-Triassic boundary.
Ichnocoenoses à Isopodichnus furcosus nov. ichnosp. dans le Permien du Bassin de Lodève (Massif Central, France)
1994
Resume Une nouvelle ichnoespece Isopodichnus furcosus est decrite. Elle represente des traces de repos faites probablement par des Branchiopodes notostraces. Frequente dans les formations de Rabejac et du Salagou du bassin de Lodeve, elle est caracterisee par l'existence de structures paires generalement bifides, parfois trifides. Celles-ci pourraient correspondre a l'empreinte des premiers appendices thoraciques, longs et ramifies chez les Triopsides ou Apodides a qui est attribuee Isopodichnus furcosus nov. ichnosp. La presence de niveaux a Isopodichnus furcosus nov. ichnosp. dans les formations rouges supraconglomeratiques de la serie permienne renforce la these du developpement de l'ari…
