Seismic reflection and topography insights into Ries crater diameter and megablock zone

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2891-2912, December 2025.
Abstract Most of the extensive crater‐wide geophysical studies at the Ries impact structure were made decades ago when the origin of the structure was still being debated. Although it is one of the most studied impact structures, its internal structure was not imaged in high resolution until recently.

Genetic Diversity in the Wrinkled Frog, Glandirana rugosa, Evaluated Using Microsatellite Markers Identified by Nanopore Sequencing

Ecological Research, Volume 40, Issue 6, November 2025.
This study developed 14 microsatellite markers for Glandirana rugosa to investigate its genetic diversity and population structure. An analysis of four populations—Honjo (HON), Aika (AIK), and the Oki Islands (OKI) in Shimane Prefecture, and Gunma (GUN) Prefecture—revealed high genetic variation and geographic structure with isolation by distance ...

The first pterosaur from the Bauru Group: an azhdarchid from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The vertebrate fossil record of the Bauru Group (Upper Cretaceous, southeastern Brazil) is remarkably rich, with a predominance of titanosaurs and crocodyliforms, alongside theropods, turtles, squamates, fishes and even small mammals. In contrast, pterosaur remains from the Bauru Group have remained elusive until now.
