A Conceptual Model for Spatial Grain Size Variability on the Surface of and within Beaches
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 Grain size on the surface of natural beaches has been observed to vary spatially and temporally with morphology and wave energy. The stratigraphy of the beach at Duck, North Carolina, USA was examined using 36 vibracores (~1–1.5 m long) collected along a

A comprehensive embryonic staging series of the turtle Trachemys scripta
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Turtles hold a unique place in vertebrate evolutionary history, making them critical assets in embryology research. Yet, they remain understudied as potential model organisms in the field. Here, to support experimental manipulations with turtle embryos, we have created a complete normal table of development for comprehensive ...
