The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

An integrated facies, MS and XRF‐based approach applied to the Tithonian–Berriasian Sidi Khalif Formation (central Tunisia) resolves five Tithonian and eight Berriasian third‐order sequences, showing how mixed carbonate–siliciclastic shelves record coupled eustatic, climatic and tectonic controls and providing a transferable template for similar mud ...

Beach Gold and Heavy Mineral Concentrates on Tiwai Spit Gravel Strand Plain, Southland, New Zealand
The Holocene Tiwai Spit on Foveaux Strait is a 12 km by 2 km gravel‐dominated strand plain, ∼10 m above present sea level. Gravel clasts are dominated by well‐rounded quartz cobbles, pebbles and granules derived from Otago Schist 200 km to the north in evolving river drainage systems during late Cenozoic.

ABSTRACT Micoureus is the most species‐rich subgenus within the genus Marmosa. Conflicting arrangements regarding the number of species comprising this subgenus have been proposed and the validity of M. budini has been debated. Here, we used an approach integrating genetic and morphological data were conducted to reanalyze the ‘rapposa’ group ...

ABSTRACT Subfamily Leuciscinae, the largest freshwater fish group of the western Palearctic region, has been widely studied, including the phylogenetic relationships between its species and genera. However, until now, one genus completely escaped attention in this regard. Even though several works hypothesised about its evolutionary relationships based
