Postcranial anomalies of Eocene freshwater pleurodiran and cryptodiran turtles from the Spanish Duero Basin. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Testudines are one of the best‐represented taxonomic groups among the Paleogene taxa of the Duero Basin (Castile and Leon Autonomous Community, central Spain). Among them, Neochelys (Podocnemidide) and Allaeochelys (Carettochelyidae) are most abundant, allowing the population to be assessed for osteological anomalies.

A new Crocodyloidea from the middle Eocene of Zamora (Duero Basin, Spain). [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract The eusuchian crocodyliforms recorded in the Eocene levels of the Spanish Duero Basin belong to three lineages: Planocraniidae, with the species Duerosuchus piscator; Alligatoroidea, represented by several specimens of the genus Diplocynodon; and Crocodyloidea, which includes several specimens traditionally attributed to Asiatosuchus.

Shell characterization of the youngest valid species of the European Eocene genus Neochelys (Pleurodira, Podocnemididae): The Spanish Bartonian Neochelys salmanticensis. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract The freshwater pleurodiran turtle Neochelys is the best‐represented member of Podocnemididae in the European record, being known by eight Eocene species. The youngest of them is the Bartonian (middle Eocene) Neochelys salmanticensis, from the Duero Basin (Salamanca Province, Central Spain).

EuroChoices, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 13-20, December 2023., 2023 Summary The Bioeconomy Strategy Action Plan calls for sustainable extraction, processing, and use of biological resources in Europe as a pathway to achieve environmental, social and economic goals. However, the transition towards sustainable food systems within and across countries is diverse due to the existing heterogeneous land patterns and ...

EuroChoices, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 44-50, December 2023., 2023 Summary The European Commission aims to achieve a climate‐neutral economy by 2050 and positively affect the employment growth rate while reducing fossil‐based production activities. For that reason, according to the European Green Deal, decarbonisation and modernisation of fossil‐based industries is essential.

Mind the uncertainty: Global plate model choice impacts deep‐time palaeobiological studies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 3007-3019, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Global plate models (GPMs) aim to reconstruct the tectonic evolution of the Earth by modelling the motion of the plates and continents through time. These models enable palaeobiologists to study the past distribution of extinct organisms. However, different GPMs exist that vary in their partitioning of the Earth's surface and the modelling of ...

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 306-325, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Mitigating climate change requires us to constrain combustion in a double sense: decreasing both the use of fossil fuels and the flammability of the biosphere. Fire management by Indigenous peoples in Australia's northern savannas has been presented as a solution to offset the former and assist with the latter, leading to the foundation of a ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, Page 848-859, March 2023., 2023 Abstract Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computational method used to predict the behaviour (stresses, strains and deformation) of a structure under predefined loading conditions. It can be applied to different biological structures, such as bone, to study defined muscle‐driven scenarios. However, as muscle is an extremely complex structure to model,

EuroChoices, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 21-26, December 2022., 2022 Summary Ecological farming, such as organic and low‐input farming, is gaining popularity in the public discourse. One question is how this type of farming may impact farm labour from a socio‐economic point of view. The article first discusses how low‐input farming practices (i.e.

Contribución a la estratigrafía y litogénesis de la Isla de San Andrés
Boletín Geológico, 1959 Antes de terminar el mapa geológico de las Islas de San Andrés, Providencia y Santa Catalina (R. QUINTERO, 1960), se creyó oportuno revisar de nuevo la edad geológica de las rocas que constituyen la isla principal de San Andrés. Para este fin se colectó
