Short- and long-term thermo-erosion of ice-rich permafrost coasts in the Laptev Sea region [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2013 Permafrost coasts in the Arctic are susceptible to a variety of changing environmental factors all of which currently point to increasing coastal erosion rates and mass fluxes of sediment and carbon to the shallow arctic shelf seas. Rapid erosion along

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...
