Early evolvability in arthropod tagmosis exemplified by a new radiodont from the Burgess Shale
Royal Society Open ScienceMuch diversity in arthropod form is the result of variation in the number and differentiation of segments (tagmosis). Fossil evidence to date has suggested that the earliest-diverging arthropods, the radiodonts, exhibited comparatively limited ...

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.
