Echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) are found Australia-wide and appear to be remarkably well-adapted to the arid zone, yet nearly all echidna research has been conducted in temperate, tropical and alpine zones.

Tuning the Magnetic Phase Transitions in TbMn2‐xTixSi2 (x = 0–0.3)
ABSTRACT Magnetocaloric materials receive considerable attention as promising candidates for next‐generation energy‐efficient and environmentally benign solid‐state refrigeration technologies. These materials exhibit the magnetocaloric effect (MCE), whereby heat is absorbed or released upon the application or removal of a magnetic field. In this study,

Les Nymphes dans la Théogonie hésiodique
The word numphè occurs four times only in the Theogony. Nymphs are first mentioned as mountain inhabitants, then Hesiod tells us about the birth of the Melian Nymphs on occasion of Ouranos’s castration.

Cool echidnas survive the fire [PDF]
Fires have occurred throughout history, including those associated with the meteoroid impact at the Cretaceous–Palaeogene (K–Pg) boundary that eliminated many vertebrate species. To evaluate the recent hypothesis that the survival of the K–Pg fires by ancestral mammals was dependent on their ability to use energy-conserving torpor, we ...

Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Ontogeny of murine bony semicircular canal form
Abstract The labyrinthine geometry and functional anatomy of the semicircular canals have intrigued scientists for decades, and there has been considerable interest in understanding how these complex structures grow and develop with evidence emerging from human studies that size maturation occurs exceptionally early by comparison with other systems ...
