Cretaceous lacewing larvae with binocular vision demonstrate the convergent evolution of sophisticated simple eyes

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.

Tectonics may affect closed watersheds used to monitor climate change and human activity effects

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 58-65, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Playa lakes developed in closed watersheds have been used as environmental impact indicators (global warming, water extractions, etc.), but they could be also sensitive to active tectonics. Our study area is located in the main watershed in the western Betics, the northern branch of the Gibraltar arc, which is within the fold‐and‐thrust belt ...

Tracing the origin of Roman mosaic tiles in Aquileia: Petrographic analysis of specimens from the suburbium

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...

Broken Beds, but better science; using multiple hypotheses to interpret geological data

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 35, Issue 1, Page 73-82, February 2023., 2023
Abstract In this study, we propose a multiple hypotheses approach to improve interpretations of limited remotely sensed datasets, such as sparsely exposed outcrops, subsurface datasets, or planetary objects using semi‐quantitative scoring and ranking of observable features.
