Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Seed dispersal is a critical process for plant community assembly; however, natural rates of seed arrival are rarely quantified compared with other assembly mechanisms, especially in herbaceous communities. Methods Here we compare the utility of artificial grass carpet squares (“artificial grass”) for capturing seed rain with classic ...

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.
