Precursor concentrations dictated the formation processes of dynamic boronate nanoparticles, thus providing a facile route for morphological and size manipulation.

ZnO decorated-TiO2 nanosheets with exposed {001} facets were achieved by a simple hydrothermal method. The size and shape of ZnO nanoparticles were controlled by tuning the growth temperature. SEM, HRTEM, and SAED measurements confirmed the formation of {001} TiO2 nanosheets with the decoration of ZnO nanoparticles. The ZnO/TiO2 {001} facets heterostructures show an improved efficient in photocatalytic activities due to the decreased charge recombination with the presence of ZnO nanocrystals.

A morphological, cytological and genetic comparison of putative conspecific populations of Spirastrella sp. cf. mollis (Porifera: Demospongiae) from both sides of the Isthmus of Panama revealed a very high level of genetic differentiation together with morphological and cytological differences. The main differences were the distribution of the spirasters within the choanosome, the size and shape of spirasters 1, and the size and shape of inclusions within type I cells. Consequently these two populations clearly belong to different biological species. The Atlantic one, S. hartmani sp. nov. corresponds to what previous authors have called S. cunctatrix in the Caribbean. The finding of this new species raises to three the number of Spirastrella spp. known from the Caribbean Sea. The Pacific species is named here S. sabogae sp. nov. The levels of gene divergence found between S. hartmani and S. sabogae (Nei's genetic distance D=2.30) were as high as those found between different genera in other groups of invertebrates. Similarly exceptionally high values of gene divergence have been found between other congeneric sponge species and may be indicative either of a higher rate of molecular evolution or a very slow rate of morphological evolution in the Porifera compared to other metazoans.

Growth and morphological evolution of hexapod-shaped Cu2O microcrystals is carefully studied via a γ-irradiation reduction route at room temperature and under ambient pressure. The products are examined by means of XRD patterns and FE-SEM images. The as-obtained hexapod-shaped Cu2O microcrystal is composed of six legs, whose adjacent legs are perpendicular to each other and each leg is composed of two perpendicular cross blades. A simple reaction system, excluding the influence of surfactant and thermal disturbance, would favor revelation of the inherent growth habit of Cu2O microcrystals under relatively mild experimental conditions. Furthermore, the effects of several factors on the final product and morphology are investigated.Key words: hexapod-shaped, γ-irradiation, cuprous oxide, morphological evolution.

We present a quantitative method for describing how heterochronic changes in ontogeny relate to phyletic trends. This is a step towards creating a unified view of developmental biology and evolutionary ecology in the study of morphological evolution. Using this representation, we obtain a greatly simplified and logical scheme of classification. We believe that this scheme will be particularly useful in studying the data of paleontology and comparative morphology and in the analysis of processes leading to adaptive radiation. We illustrate this scheme by examples drawn from the literature and our own work.
