The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Universal and Normalized Regeneration of Heterogeneous Spent LiFePO4 via Mechanochemical Delithiation and Flash Relithiation

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
We propose a universal “x → 0 → 1” regeneration route: mechanochemical delithiation converts spent LixFePO4 of any degradation level to FePO4, erasing batch variance; 35‐s flash relithiation yields uniform LiFePO4 with near‐identical capacity, suppressing grain growth and cutting energy andtime by >90% versus furnace sintering, overcoming unpredictable
