Deciphering the preservation of fossil insects: a case study from the Crato Member, Early Cretaceous of Brazil [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Exceptionally well-preserved three-dimensional insects with fine details and even labile tissues are ubiquitous in the Crato Member Konservat Lagerstätte (northeastern Brazil). Here we investigate the preservational pathways which yielded such specimens.

Nickel biopathways in tropical nickel hyperaccumulating trees from Sabah (Malaysia) [PDF]
, 2017 The extraordinary level of accumulation of nickel (Ni) in hyperaccumulator plants is a consequence of specific metal sequestering and transport mechanisms, and knowledge of these processes is critical for advancing an understanding of transition element ...

Localization of Aluminum in Epidermal Cells of Mature Tea Leaves
Quantum Beam Science, 2019 We have determined the distribution of aluminum in the epidermal cells of mature tea leaves using micro-beam particle-induced X-ray emission. The observed pattern of aluminum distribution in the epidermal cells suggests that aluminum exists in cell walls.
