Carapacial scute variation in Loggerhead Turtles,Caretta caretta
Zoology in the Middle East, 2001 Abstract The carapacial scutes of 3511 specimens of hatchling and adult Loggerhead Turtles (Caretta caretta) from five different nesting beaches in Turkey and Cyprus (Dalyan, Fethiye, Belek, Kizilot and Karpaz) were examined. Scutes were examined with regard to variation within carapacial scute series and variation in carapacial scute pattern.

Photo-induced magnetization enhancement in two-dimensional weakly anisotropic Heisenberg magnets [PDF]
, 2014 By comparing the photo-induced magnetization dynamics in simple layered systems we show how light-induced modifications of the magnetic anisotropy directly enhance the magnetization. It is observed that the spin precession in (CH3NH3)2CuCl4, initiated by

Massive consumption of gelatinous plankton by Mediterranean apex predators.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen were used to test the hypothesis that stomach content analysis has systematically overlooked the consumption of gelatinous zooplankton by pelagic mesopredators and apex predators.
