Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Refined weathering CO2 budget of the Tibetan Plateau strongly modulated by sulphide oxidation

Nature Communications
Estimation of net CO2 consumption by weathering in orogen is complicated as high erosion rate promotes competing processes of CO2 consumption (silicate weathering) and releasing (sulfuric acid (H2SO4) dissolution of carbonate).

Evidence of coevolution in multi-objective evolutionary algorithms [PDF]

, 2009
This paper demonstrates that simple yet important characteristics of coevolution can occur in evolutionary algorithms when only a few conditions are met.

Endothermy, neuron counts, and other issues: Further remarks on neurocognitive evolution in fossil vertebrates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

Crust‐Mantle Interaction During Continental Deep Subduction: Evidence From Light Mo Isotopes in Post‐Collisional Mafic Igneous Rocks From the East Kunlun Orogen

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
It is intriguing whether and how crust‐mantle interaction would proceed in continental subduction zones. Here, we report zircon U‐Pb ages and Hf isotopes, major and trace elements, and Sr‐Nd‐Mo isotopes for Late Paleozoic mafic igneous rocks from the ...

A neuro‐behavioural model of neophobia

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fear can be defined as the internal neurological state that releases a repertoire of behaviours an animal performs to reduce the effect of an aversive factor. Neophobia, the fear of novelty, is a fundamental behavioural trait observed across a wide range of species from arthropods to humans.

Long‐Term Radiogenic Heating by Abortively Erupted Basalts Triggers 120 Ma Lunar Volcanism

Geophysical Research Letters
The mantle source and formation mechanism of the recently discovered ∼120 Ma lunar volcanic glass beads (VGBs) in Chang'e‐5 samples remain elusive. By systematically comparing the compositions of ∼120 Ma VGBs with those of ancient Apollo VGBs, we propose
