PWM-Induced Current Modelling in Stator Slots with Multiple Stacked Coils
This paper deals with the PWM-induced current and losses in a specific segmented winding structure. The proposed segmentation process enables to split a winding into several coils. These latter are supplied in...

Open AccessPhylogenomic analysis sheds light on the evolutionary pathways towards acoustic communication in Orthoptera
Acoustic communication is enabled by the evolution of specialised hearing and sound producing organs. In this study, we performed a large-scale macroevolutionary study to understand how both hearing and sound ...

Open AccessThe first fossil salmonfly (Insecta: Plecoptera: Pteronarcyidae), back to the Middle Jurassic
The fossil record of Plecoptera (stoneflies) is considered relatively complete, with stem-groups of each of the three major lineages, viz. Antarctoperlaria, Euholognatha and Systellognatha (and some of their f...

The steps towards an inconspicuous vein fusion documented in Stenosmylinae forewings (Neuroptera: Osmylidae)
Based on respective numbers of branches in fore- and hind wing, and on the morphology of fossil species, it has been assumed that a fusion of the posterior branch of the posterior media (MP2) with the anterior...

Carboniferous arachnids from the Graissessac Basin, Central Massif, France
Trigonotarbids and scorpions (Arachnida: Trigonotarbida, Scorpiones) are described from the Upper Carboniferous (Late Stephanian/Late Gzehlian) of the Graissessac Basin in the Central Massif outcrop** in sou...

Open AccessAt last, a Pennsylvanian stem-stonefly (Plecoptera) discovered
Stem-relatives of many winged insect orders have been identified among Pennsylvanian fossils (Carboniferous Period). Owing to their presumed 'basal' position in insect phylogeny, stoneflies were expected to oc...

Alternative nomenclatural procedures as a potential benefit to natural history collections
It has been argued that adopting alternative nomenclatural procedures would jeopardize the importance of natural history collection by relegating reference specimens to a secondary role. Based on published sta...

Optimality of phylogenetic nomenclatural procedures
Nomenclatures resulting from the application of various procedures are viewed as communication tools whose optimality can be compared. The traditional, node-based, branch-based, apomorphy-based, and cladotypic...

Hennigian Phylogenetic Systematics and the ‘Groundplan’ vs. ‘Post-Groundplan’ Approaches: A Reply to Kukalová-Peck
The recent contribution by Jarmila Kukalová-Peck on Hennigian phylogenetics and hexapod limb evolution is critically evaluated.
