Abstract The evolution of organisms can be studied through the lens of developmental systems, as the timing of development of morphological features is an important aspect to consider when studying a phenotype. Such data can be challenging to obtain in fossil amniotes owing to the scarcity of their fossil record. However, the numerous remains of Rancho

Ločevanje iglavcev in listavcev na podlagi neobdelane intenzitete laserskih točk ( = Deciduous and coniferous tree separation based on the raw intensity of laser points) [PDF]
Aerial laser scanning provides information about the reflectivity of the surface from which the laser beam was reflected; this information is given as an intensity of a laser point.

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths
Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

Deciduous trees are a large and overlooked sink for snowmelt water in the boreal forest
The terrestrial water cycle contains large uncertainties that impact our understanding of water budgets and climate dynamics. Water storage is a key uncertainty in the boreal water budget, with tree water storage often ignored.

Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

Supragingival Microbial Profiles of Permanent and Deciduous Teeth in Children with Mixed Dentition
Objectives The present study was designed to investigate the microbial profiles of teeth in different locations in mixed-dentition-stage children, and to compare the microbiomes of permanent and deciduous teeth in the same healthy oral cavity.

Exploring developmental changes in femoral midneck cross‐sectional properties
The properties of femoral midneck cross‐sections exhibit a unique growth pattern that is characterized by shape changes during adolescence. Abstract This research delves deeper into previous works on femoral cross‐sectional properties during ontogeny by focusing for the first time on the human femoral midneck. The ontogenetic pattern of cross‐sectional

Dominant-feature identification in data from Gaussian processes applied to Finnish forest inventory records [PDF]
In spatial data, location-dependent variation leads to connected structures known as features. Variations occur at different spatial scales and possibly originate from distinct underlying processes. Each of these scales is characterized by its own dominant features.

Abstract This article reviews the pathological changes in the enamel of permanent mandibular cheek teeth and their sequelae in European roe deer from regions polluted by anthropogenic fluoride emissions. The primary (developmental) changes of fluorotic roe deer enamel are hypomineralization and microstructural aberrations, including enamel hypoplasia ...
