'If we want to develop AI that helps people, we need all the brainpower we can get.'

September 2022

To build the best artificial intelligence, we don't just need computing power and new technology, argues Pim Haselager. If we want to develop AI that helps people, we need all the brainpower we can get. This includes people from all walks of life where AI will play a role. Only then can we...

Algal Growth on Beaks of Live Parrotfishes

January 1972 · Pacific Science

ABSTRACT: The algal flora on the beaks of certain parrotfishes is described. No host-specific relationship exists between the algae and fishes. A direct correlation between the length of the algae and the size of the fish is present. The exposed dentition of the parrotfish merely provides another type of substratum on which algae grow.

REMARKABLE LATE CRETACEOUS FOSSILS FROM LIÈGE-LIMBURG Part 42. A squid with bite marks A single rostrum of the belemnitellid coleoid Belemnitella junior Nowak, 1913, presumably from interval 6 of the Vijlen Member (Gulpen Formation; upper lower Maastrichtian) as exposed at the Kreco quarry (Haccourt, Liège), has a dense cover of episkeletozoans (oysters, serpulid polychaetes, bryozoans and ... [Show full abstract] foraminifera). In addition, it shows a set of four to six parallel, deep to shallow scratches that are accompanied by four shorter, even shallower grooves on the other side of the rostrum. Attempts are made to link these bite marks to some predator or scavenger. The heterodont dentition of a bullhead shark of the genus Heterodontus fits the pattern of scratches fairly well, although it may also have been caused by another type of shark – or a completely different type of predator or scavenger.

REMARKABLE LATE CRETACEOUS FOSSILS FROM LIÈGE-LIMBURG Part 54. Remains of the mysterious teleost fish Cylindracanthus. Remains of the enigmatic teleost fish Cylindracanthus, originating from the upper Maastrichtian (Lanaye to Emael members) of the Maastrichtian type area (south-east Netherlands, north-east Belgium), are described and illustrated. The current fossil record of this genus in the ... [Show full abstract] study area comprises merely the elongated, ornamented and pointed rostra of these fishes. These have inspired long-standing debates about the taxonomy and anatomy of Cylindracanthus. For now, these fish are considered by some to be most closely related to sturgeons and their relatives (Acipenseriformes). Specimens referred to the genus Cylindracanthus are briefly compared to other teleost fishes from the type-Maastrichtian strata with elongated rostra, such as members of the family Dercetidae.

REMARKABLE LATE CRETACEOUS FOSSILS FROM LIÈGE-LIMBURG Part 56. Two interesting teleost fishes in the spotlight. Over recent years, teleost fish material from the Upper Cretaceous of Liège-Limburg has been receiving more attention, yet (semi-) articulated and associated skeletons are rarely encountered. Here, two remarkable and partially articulated skeletons of very different teleost fish ... [Show full abstract] are discussed, illustrated and briefly described. The first specimen originates from the upper Campanian Zeven Wegen Member (Gulpen Formation) and illustrates that limestone members generally considered as ‘less rich in vertebrate fossils’ likely have a higher vertebrate diversity than previously assumed. It is an important specimen that forms a starting point for investigating the relatively understudied and poorly known late Campanian fish fauna of the study area. The second specimen stems from the Emael Member (Maastricht Formation) and consists of a partial postcranial skeleton of a pycnodontiform fish. Likely, this fossil represents the first record of a postcranial skeleton of Anomoeodus, which in the study area was known exclusively from dental plates and isolated teeth until now. As such, it may contribute significantly to our understanding of the anatomy of Anomoeodus.
