Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Bioerosion on spinicaudata shells from a Triassic freshwater paleolake, Mendoza, Argentina
, 2019 Bioerosion by microorganisms is termed microbioerosion. In aquatic systems, microbioerosion affects various substrates, most commonly relatively soluble ones such as sulfates, phosphates, and carbonates.

The long–term survival of bone: the role of bioerosion
, 2002 Fossil bones (N = 350) spanning more than 350 million years, and covering a wide range of depositional environments, were studied to compare the distribution of microbial destruction features in fossil bones with previously published data sets of bones ...

Seawater carbonate chemistry and bioerosion of croal reef
, 2017 Ocean acidification (OA), the gradual decline in ocean pH and [CO3 ] 2- caused by rising levels of atmospheric CO2, poses a significant threat to coral reef ecosystems, depressing rates of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) production, and enhancing rates of ...

Reef Habitat Type and Spatial Extent as Interacting Controls on Platform-Scale Carbonate Budgets
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 A coral reefs carbonate budget strongly influences reef structural complexity and net reef growth potential, and thus is increasingly recognized as a key “health” metric.

Wild pig habitat use impacted by prescribed fire in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, USA
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Natural resource management activities like integrated wild pig control programs and 3–5‐year interval prescribed burning can reduce wild pig activity and habitat but can have an unintended side effect of allowing them to thrive in sensitive and protected areas, where access and tools are restricted.

Mesophotic bioerosion: Variability and structural impact on U.S. Virgin Island deep reefs
, 2014 Mesophotic reef corals, found 30–150m below sea level, build complex structures that provide habitats for diverse ecosystems. Whereas bioerosion is known to impact the development and persistence of shallow reef structures, little is known regarding the ...

Effects of Submarine Groundwater Discharge on Coral Accretion and Bioerosion on Two Shallow Reef Flats [PDF]
, 2016 Porites lobata nubbins and bioerosion blocks were deployed across two groundwater gradients in Maunalua Bay to measure coral accretion and bioerosion rates at different levels of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD).
