Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...

The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

Re‐make, re‐model: evolution and development of vertebrate cranial lateral lines
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Lateral lines are placodally derived mechanosensory systems on the heads and trunks of many aquatic vertebrates. There is evidence of lateral lines in the earliest known vertebrate fossils, and they exist in organisms with widely different craniofacial morphologies – including the presence or absence of jaws, external or internal nostrils, and

Measuring juvenile habitat quality for fishes and invertebrates
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Identifying the role of marine and estuarine habitats in supporting fish and invertebrate populations during vulnerable juvenile life stages is essential to achieve effective conservation and fisheries management. There remains general agreement that: (i) the quality of juvenile habitat is best measured as the contribution of juveniles to ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally there is an urgent need to find sustainable solutions to balance energy production with the protection of vulnerable species and conservation of biodiversity. This is particularly critical for freshwater ecosystems, habitats, and species that may be impacted by hydropower development and operations needed to meet energy grid demands ...

Benthic nitrogen fixation in oxygen minimum zones
, 2016 The distribution and magnitude of benthic N2 fixation in OMZs, and its relevance for the community inhabiting these sediments was investigated. A possible coupling to sulfate reducers was determined by rate measurements of N2 fixation and sulfate reduction, as well as by molecular analysis in the respective environment. In sediments of the Peruvian OMZ,

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.
