Poka: A Necro‐Robot Beetle with a Measured Payload Ratio of 6847%
Here, Poka, a necro‐robot beetle with the ability to carry more than 68 times its own weight, is introduced, making it also a walking robot with the highest payload ratio measured to date. This paper is concerned with the design, manufacture and validation of ‘Poka', a novel millimetre‐scale necro‐robot aimed at bridging the performance gap between ...

Sexual dimorphism in the Bathonian morphoceratid ammonite Polysphinctites tenuiplicatus [PDF]
Asphinctites tenuiplicatus [M] and Polysphinctites secundus [m] from the Asphinctites tenuiplicatus Zone (Early Bathonian), are usually considered as a sexual dimorphic pair, although authors describe them as separate species.

Godfrey Bingley was a British industrialist who took up geology, photography and travel in the 1880s. His photographs are housed at the University of Leeds, where he worked with its Chair of Geology. This article analyses the archive's projection of the imperial geological imaginary that emanated from Britain and extended to the Americas.

Can Macroevolution Inform Contemporary Extinction Risk?
We investigate the underlying assumptions of the idea that macroevolutionary indicators for large groups of species, such as rates of extinction, diversification or niche evolution, can inform species' current and future extinction risk status. We find that only past extinction rates can be reliable predictors of current extinction risk as the same ...

Abstract Taphonomic studies of Cenozoic mammals are scarce. We report a study of the taphonomy of the Corralito site (Middle Pleistocene to Holocene), Córdoba Province, Argentina, which documents the last population of the South American native ungulate typotherid Mesotherium cristatum. We discovered two specimens of M.

Abstract The Shkoder‐Peja transverse zone (SPTZ) of Northern Albania marks the boundary between the Dinarides and Albano‐Hellenides and is marked by a ∼100 km SW‐ward shift of the ophiolitic nappe front. The SPTZ has been variably interpreted as a paleogeographic inheritance, a dextral strike‐slip fault, the hinge of the clockwise (CW) rotating Albano ...
