First evidence of a mandibular crest in Brasileodactylus Kellner, 1984 (Pterosauria, Pteranodontoidea, Anhangueridae), with comments on pterosaur headcrests

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Brasileodactylus araripensis Kellner, 1984, is a toothed pterosaur from the Lower Cretaceous Romualdo Formation of the Araripe Basin, Brazil. Traditionally regarded as crestless, the species has been central to debates on anhanguerid taxonomy, as most members of the clade possess well‐developed sagittal cranial or dentary crests.

The influence of circadian variables on ecotoxicology metabolomics

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecotoxicologists are using metabolomics increasingly to gain insight into toxicological mechanisms and sublethal effects of chemical exposures. Metabolomics offers a sensitive multi‐parameter approach that can detect biochemical responses not obvious using apical and behavioural endpoints.
