The Metamorphosis of Tidally Stirred Dwarf Galaxies

, 2001
We present results from high-resolution N-Body/SPH simulations of rotationally supported dwarf irregular galaxies moving on bound orbits in the massive dark matter halo of the Milky Way.The dwarf models span a range in disk surface density and the masses

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Hydroxyapatite Reinforced Magnesium Alloy Composites Using the Ultrasonic-Assisted Rheo-Squeeze Casting Technique: Microstructural and Mechanical Performance Evaluation for Bone Fixture Applications

Crystals
Magnesium-based biomaterials have recently been in the research spotlight in the field of biomedical engineering owing to their properties, such as density and biocompatibility that closely align with those of human bone. However, poor strength and rapid

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Kin Competition Drives the Evolution of Earlier Metamorphosis

Ecology and Evolution
Metamorphosis, the discrete morphological change between postembryonic life stages, is widespread across the animal kingdom. The suggested advantages of metamorphosis have usually been framed in terms of population benefits, i.e., ecological explanations.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
