Schist Belts of the Benin‐Nigeria Shield Reveal a Neoproterozoic History
Terra Nova, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Belts of metasedimentary rocks (schist belts) in the Benin‐Nigeria Shield (BNS) are investigated for the first time using U–Pb dating and Lu‐Hf isotope analysis of detrital zircons. We report maximum depositional ages that place their deposition firmly in the Neoproterozoic and link them with strata in the Dahomey Belt, the central African ...

Mining an Anthropocene in Japan: On the making and work of geological imaginaries
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.Short Abstract This article addresses how the lithic and the drift might be reworked as an Anthropocene material outside of a chronostratigraphy. Revisiting the finding of a floating fern fossil at the Hashima mine, we delve into a complex array of Geological imaginaries, and undertake our own speculative work.

Unexpected pathway for intercontinental movement into the Nearctic revealed by phylogenetic analyses
Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.Abstract Much of North America's freshwater biodiversity is derived from Palearctic lineages. Isopods of the Holarctic family Asellidae are among the most widespread and diverse freshwater crustaceans, but Nearctic species are poorly studied. We examined the evolutionary history of the family, utilizing Sanger sequencing of mitochondrial and nuclear ...

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.
