GOOD-BYE SCYDMAENIDAE, OR WHY THE ANT-LIKE STONE BEETLES SHOULD BECOME MEGADIVERSE STAPHYLINIDAE SENSU LATISSIMO (COLEOPTERA)

Good-bye Scydmaenidae, or why the ant-like stone beetles should become megadiverse Staphylinidae sensu latissimo (Coleoptera)

Ant-like stone beetles (Coleoptera: Scydmaenidae) include more than 4,850 described species in about 90 genera maintained as a separate cosmopolitan family since 1815.Recent authors have hypothesised that Scydmaenidae might be rooted deep inside rove-beetles (Staphylinidae).To test this hypothesis we analysed 206 parsimoniously informative larval a

A meta-analysis of clinical effects of microscopic unilateral laminectomy bilateral decompression (ULBD) versus biportal endoscopic ULBD for lumbar canal stenosis

OsbjectiveSeveral studies have shown that both microscopic unilateral laminotomy bilateral decompression (ULBD) and unilateral biportal endoscopic (UBE) ULBD are effective for treating lumbar canal stenosis (LCS).However, there are different viewpoints as to which surgical technique is superior.Therefore, this meta-analysis investigated the clinica
