The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

The Troubles and Beyond: The impact of a museum exhibit on a post‐conflict society
Abstract In divided societies, can museums contribute to healing and recovery? While efforts to memorialize past violence typically aim to promote tolerance and reconciliation, remembering could exacerbate divisions in recovering societies where the past is deeply contested. We examine a transitional justice museum exhibit in Northern Ireland.

ACTH depresses delta 6 and delta 5 desaturation activity in rat adrenal gland and liver.
The in vivo and in vitro effect of ACTH on the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acid of rat adrenal gland and liver was studied. The administration of ACTH to intact rats produced a significant decrease in the conversion of [1-14C]linoleic acid to ...

Structured machine learning modeling to support conservation of deep‐sea benthic biodiversity
Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs need to deliver accurate, timely, and actionable predictions. To establish a predictive monitoring program for deep‐sea benthos of the Santos Basin, Brazil, we developed a two‐stage structured model that allowed comparison of biodiversity predictions obtained from environmental simulations (2M‐Sim).

ANTARCTICA AS BACKGROUND FOR MAMMALIAN EVOLUTION
. Since the 1980's, a series of new Cretaceous-Paleogene land mammals has been found in southern continents. They drastically changed the traditional perspective of how mammals evolved all over the world, and particularly, how they evolved in the ...

Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

The Fray Bentos Formation, with outcrops in the Uruguayan and the Argentinean provinces of Corrientes and Entre Ríos, has yielded several fossil vertebrates, mainly mammals, that permit its reference to the Deseadan land-mammal age (upper Oligocene?). At
