## Abstract A review of past work on the taxonomic status of the bonobo chimpanzee is presented. It is suggested that differences in size and morphology of the common and the bonobo chimpanzees have been exaggerated or poorly understood. It is concluded that not enough data from the field on both

Abstract
It is argued that the type species of Crotalocephalus is C. pengellyi Salter, 1864. The type series and other material of this species is figured, and intraspecific variation of the taxon discussed. Cerauroides cannot be regarded as an objective synonym of Crotalocephalus as claimed by PΕibyl and VanΔk 1980. Pilletopeltis is regarded as a junior subjective synonym of Crotalocephalus.

## Abstract The present study examines the taxonomic status of Middle Paleolithic Neanderthals by comparing their observed minimum genetic divergence from Upper Paleolithic modern humans in Europe with that observed between macaque species from Sulawesi that are known to hybridize and fully intergr
Mitochondrial DNA nucleotide sequence analysis was used to determine the extent of genetic differentiation among six species of the genus Gammarus (Crustacea, Amphipoda) common in France (G. fossarum, G. pulex, G. lacustris, G. wautieri, G. roeseli, G. marinus). From 23 different populations, 104 sp
