Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Microbially induced sedimentary structures (MISS) are considered important for understanding primitive life on Earth and for guiding the search for life on other planets. These structures are regarded as macroscopic fossils of early communities of unicellular organisms that did not produce skeletons or shells. In this study, field observations

Geopower, Geos and the Colonisation of Palestine
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the majority of geographical work on colonialism in Palestine centres on territory and land, this article foregrounds geopower and geos in the making of spatial relations. Three arguments are made over three corresponding sections. The first draws on recent writing on geopower and geos (primarily that by Elizabeth Grosz, Elizabeth ...

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 6, Page 1451-1463, June 2026.Abstract Notosuchians were key components of western Gondwanan Cretaceous ecosystems in terrestrial predator niches and exhibited remarkable taxonomic and ecological diversity. Previous research has explored their physiology, metabolism, and histology, revealing varied growth patterns and life history strategies.

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 6, Page 1514-1529, June 2026.Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1073-1090, June 2026.ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1511-1553, June 2026.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...
