Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

Critical knowledge gaps in the conservation and restoration of cold‐water corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Critical knowledge gaps hamper effective conservation of threatened cold‐water coral (CWC) ecosystems, facing cumulative anthropogenic and climate pressures. This review provides a strategic roadmap for urgent, informed intervention.

Microbial mats in dinosaur ichnocoenoses

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Until now, the significance of microbial mats in preservation of dinosaur tracks and in reconstructing the palaeoenvironment in which dinosaurs roamed was rarely studied. Dinosaur tracks are commonly found close to ancient aquatic bodies where moist sediment had once allowed footstep registration.

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 ...

Evaluating Bayesian Morphological Clocks for Estimating a Dated Phylogeny in a Relict and Fossil‐Rich Family of Wasps (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, a wide array of tools originally developed for molecular dating analyses has been adapted for use within a morphological clock perspective. This is of paramount relevance for taxonomic groups that cannot be sampled in forms suitable for DNA extraction.

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Several occurrences of osteomyelitis in dinosaurs from a site in the Bauru Group, Cretaceous of Southeast Brazil

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 642-648, March 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the occurrence of osteomyelitis in non‐avian dinosaurs, focusing on the Ibirá locality, a site with a high incidence of this pathological condition. We analyzed six new osteopathic sauropod specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil.
