Deriving the functional significance of olfaction in a solitary non‐territorial herbivore: The bare‐nosed wombat Vombatus ursinus

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We investigated communication in the bare‐nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus), which is distinctive for depositing its cube‐shaped scats in latrines. We found that bare‐nosed wombats possess a vomeronasal organ for olfactory signal reception, associate their latrines with features in their landscape (particularly rocks, logs, and burrow entrances), have ...

Textural and geochemical diversity of impact melt rock clasts in Apollo 16 sample 67015: Implications for the provenance of impact ejecta in the lunar highlands

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four
