Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2424-2441, September 2026.Abstract With the development of dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA), there has been an increasing application of DMTA for dietary estimation in extant and fossil reptiles, including dinosaurs. While numerous feeding experiments exist for herbivorous mammals, knowledge remains limited for carnivorous reptiles. This study aimed to qualitatively and

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Intrahepatic abscess secondary to retained stercolith, following laparoscopic appendectomy
Radiology Case Reports, 2023 Abscesses of the peritoneal cavity and in particular hepatic abscess due to stercolith retention are a rare complication of appendectomy. Their prevalence is likely to increase as laparoscopic appendectomies become more common.

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2266-2283, August 2026.Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1722-1749, August 2026.ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...
