“…This conflict is dramatized by the emergence of the renegade General Khalifa al-Haftar whose history as a Qaddafi era loyalist has enraged opponents. Supported by the Libyan army and the Tobruk government, Haftar's May 2014 Operation Dignity sought to reverse Libya's descent into anarchy by combating pro-Islamist militias [47]. Haftar's war against the Islamists and Misrata based militias has inspired his rivals to counter his campaign with Operation Libyan Dawn.…”

“…Hoping to maximize their leverage and produce chaos, rival groups have stymied oil production and IS jihadists have attacked refineries. The fall in oil production has pauperized an already chronically impoverished society [54][55][56]. The economic collapse of the country has expedited centrifugal pressures and the prospect for Islamic State expansion.…”

Recently there has been a rapid expansion of IS affiliated activity across North Africa. Egyptian Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis' (ABM) November 2014 IS support pledge and the caliphate's creation of Libyan wilayats incorporated local jihadist groups [8]. IS' wilayats, however, face multiple opponents including regime forces and rival jihadists. Violence in Libya, for example, is punctuated by clashes between IS

A Contractile Cochlear Frame Is a Common Feature of the Hearing Organs in Gekkota (Sauria, Squamata): A Comparative Study

Geckos are the most vocalizing animals among Squamata. Previously we discovered a contractile segment (the NAL, noncartilaginous abneural limbus), within the rigid periotic cochlear frame of the gecko Teratoscincus scincus [Ganeshina and Vorobyev, 2003]. Because this unusual cochlear specialization has not previously been described in the vertebrate hearing organs, we have hypothesized that the NAL has evolved within Gekkota as a specialization associated with vocalization and sound communication. Here we show that the NAL is present in ten other species belonging to four major Gekkota clades: Gekkoninae, Diplodactylinae, Eublepharinae and Pygopodidae. The NAL exhibits similar structural organization among the Gekkota species. It is composed of large, tightly packed cells enriched with a filamentous cytoskeleton and extensively interconnected via putative gap junctions. No relationship is found between the extent of development of the NAL and degree of vocalization. However, the species with relatively large body dimensions show larger absolute NAL area and structural peculiarities of the NAL that might affect its mechanical properties. A representative of the non-gekkonoid, non-vocalizing lizard, Pogona barbata (Iguania, Agamidae), possesses a similar cochlear specialization. This provides evidence that the NAL is not the exclusive feature of the Gekkota hearing organs. Our data are compatible with the hypothesis that the NAL appeared before the Gekkota separated from other Squamata groups as a mechanism involved in maintenance of the cochlear mechanical or ionic homeostasis.
