    Abstract: The marine laboratories in Plymouth have sampled at two principle sites in the Western English Channel for over a century in open-shelf (station E1; 50? 02'N, 4? 22'W) and coastal (station L4; 50? 15'N, 4? 13'W) waters. These stations are seasonally ... ...

    Abstract The marine laboratories in Plymouth have sampled at two principle sites in the Western English Channel for over a century in open-shelf (station E1; 50? 02'N, 4? 22'W) and coastal (station L4; 50? 15'N, 4? 13'W) waters. These stations are seasonally stratified from late-April until September, and the variable biological response is regulated by subtle variations in temperature, light, nutrients and meteorology. Station L4 is characterized by summer nutrient depletion, although intense summer precipitation, increasing riverine input to the system, results in pulses of increased nitrate concentration and surface freshening. The winter nutrient concentrations at E1 are consistent with an open-shelf site. Both stations have a spring and autumn phytoplankton bloom; at station E1, the autumn bloom tends to dominate in terms of chlorophyll concentration. The last two decades have seen a warming of around 0.6?C per decade, and this is superimposed on several periods of warming and cooling over the past century. In general, over the Western English Channel domain, the end of the 20th century was around 0.5?C warmer than the first half of the century. The warming magnitude and trend is consistent with other stations across the north-west European Shelf and occurred during a period of reduced wind stress and increased levels of insolation (+20%); these are both correlated with the larger scale climatic forcing of the North Atlantic Oscillation.

    Abstract During chick craniofacial development, the second (hyoid) pharyngeal arch expands to close the neck and gives rise to skeletal elements, including the columella of the middle ear (a homologue of the mammalian stapes). Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signalling has been implicated in hyoid arch expansion and columella formation, but spatial and temporal aspects of these signalling interactions within the hyoid arch remain poorly understood. Here, we show that SHH is initially expressed in the posterior endoderm of the hyoid arch, and that this domain subsequently splits into a distal domain at the site of arch expansion (the posterior epithelial margin, PEM), and a proximal domain that lines the foregut (the proximal hyoid epithelium, PHE). Pharmacological manipulations and heterotopic grafting experiments demonstrate that SHH signalling is required for hyoid arch expansion and skeletogenesis, and reveal distinct roles for the PEM and PHE in these processes. The PEM promotes mesenchymal cell proliferation during arch expansion but is not sufficient to repattern the columella. Conversely, the PHE promotes mesenchymal cell survival, and PHE grafts induce partial duplication of the columella. This work demonstrates crucial and distinct roles for endodermal SHH signalling in hyoid arch morphogenesis and patterning of the middle ear skeleton.

    Abstract The gill slits of fishes develop from an iterative series of pharyngeal endodermal pouches that contact and fuse with surface ectoderm on either side of the embryonic head. We find in the skate (Leucoraja erinacea) that all gill slits form via a stereotypical sequence of epithelial interactions: 1) endodermal pouches approach overlying surface ectoderm, with 2) focal degradation of ectodermal basement membranes preceding endoderm-ectoderm contact; 3) endodermal pouches contact and intercalate with overlying surface ectoderm, and finally 4) perforation of a gill slit occurs by epithelial remodelling, without programmed cell death, at the site of endoderm-ectoderm intercalation. Skate embryos express Fgf8 and Fgf3 within developing pharyngeal epithelia during gill slit formation. When we inhibit Fgf signalling by treating skate embryos with the Fgf receptor inhibitor SU5402 we find that endodermal pouch formation, basement membrane degradation and endodermal-ectodermal intercalation are unaffected, but that epithelial remodelling and gill slit perforation fail to occur. These findings point to a role for Fgf signalling in epithelial remodelling during gill slit formation in the skate and, more broadly, to an ancestral role for Fgf signalling during pharyngeal pouch epithelial morphogenesis in vertebrate embryos.

    Abstract Management of partial hand amputations is a notable clinical challenge. Historically, myoelectric prostheses have not allowed for independent digital control, resulting in unsatisfactory function and high rejection rates among upper extremity amputees. The Starfish Procedure was developed for patients who sustained loss of multiple digits through the level of the base of the proximal phalanx or distal metacarpal. The procedure involves the pedicled transfer of 1 or more dorsal interosseous muscles to a subcutaneous location. This allows for a myoelectric sensor to capture the signals generated by these transferred muscles, thereby enabling intuitive, independent, digital prosthetic flexion and extension. In this article, we detail the relevant anatomy, indications, and technique for performing the Starfish Procedure. Given our patients' promising outcomes to date, we hope this technique paper will encourage upper extremity surgeons of all training backgrounds to perform this relatively straightforward procedure, thereby allowing patients with life-altering finger amputations to regain meaningful function by enhancing control of digital prostheses.
