Compositionally Engineered Carboxymethyl Cellulose‐Based Optical Fibers With Exceptionally Low Optical Loss and Quantitative Humidity Sensing

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Carboxymethyl cellulose‐based biopolymer optical fibers are fabricated using aqueous wet spinning. The fibers exhibit record‐low optical attenuation in polysaccharide‐based waveguides while maintaining efficient transmission across the visible‐to‐near‐infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

Bioerosion traces in bones reveal an increase in ethological diversity in the insect exploitation of carcasses in the late Triassic

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents the first detailed description of bioerosion traces produced by insects in bones from the Santa Cruz Sequence (early Carnian, Santa Maria Supersequence, Brazil). An array of traces is reported, consisting of notches, a tube, trails of grooves attributed to the ichnotaxon Osteocallis mandibulus and ornamented depressions ...

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...
