New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Exceptional preservation informs the paleobiology of tapinocephalid dinocephalians

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tapinocephalid dinocephalian Moschops is one of the most iconic taxa of the middle Permian, yet its paleobiology remains one of the least well‐known. Here, we address some aspects of paleoneurology and paleobiology of Moschops using CT scanning of four well preserved skulls from the upper Abrahamskraal Formation of South Africa. Two of the

Redescription of the cranial morphology of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) from the Pleistocene of Brazil using x‐ray computed tomography

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Amphisbaenians (Squamata: Amphisbaenidae) are fossorial reptiles with highly specialized cranial morphology, yet their fossil record is frequently limited by fragmentary preservation. This study provides a detailed osteological redescription of the skulls of Amphisbaena braestrupi and Amphisbaena laurenti from the Pleistocene of Lagoa Santa ...

Test of Natural Potential Method in Locating Cave Passageways of Jewel Cave

The UW National Parks Service Research Station Annual Reports, 1990
Ever increasing pressures on our natural environment necessitate measures to detect and ameliorate problems of contamination, construction and overuse, before they become critical. This is particularly the case in our national parks and monuments where the tide of visitors is continually growing.

First Record of Tasmanian Devils in the Pilbara: Late Quaternary Subfossils From Juukan Gorge, Puutu Kunti Kurrama Country, and Insights Into Human—Faunal Relationships and Extinction

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first unequivocal evidence for the presence of Tasmanian devils (Sarcophilus harrisii) in the Pilbara region of northwestern Australia, based on material recovered from archaeological excavations at Juukan Gorge on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura country.

Development of interactive MRI‐based 3D visualization tools for neuroanatomy education in Latin America

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of neuroanatomy is fundamental in many scientific fields. Despite this, it is a challenging subject for students. As technology evolves, it is being increasingly incorporated into educational methods, including the teaching of neuroanatomy. Three‐dimensional (3D) visualizations are well suited for displaying neuroanatomy.

Paperless mapping and cave archaeology: A review on the application of DistoX survey method in archaeological cave sites [PDF]

Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018
Geodetic Stations and Differential Global Positioning Systems are the dominant instruments for mapping in archaeological contexts. However, there are not equal counterparts for cave archaeology survey. There is no way for DGPSs to work inside a cave and use of geodetic station is limited only in relatively dry and wide parts of the caves. This paper is

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.
