Orchid genome evolution and trait innovation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Orchids became one of the world's most diverse plant groups through genome‐driven innovations, unique relationships with fungi and pollinators, and remarkable adaptability. This review explains the origins of orchids and the evolution of their distinctive life forms, flowers, and ecological strategies and highlights promising directions for future ...

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

A multidisciplinary biostratigraphic framework for the Lower to Middle Miocene of the Norwegian North Sea – the siliceous succession of the Valhall–Hod area

GEUS Bulletin
A new multidisciplinary biostratigraphic framework, combining dinoflagellate cysts, microfossils, calcareous nannofossils, diatoms and silicoflagellates, is established for the Early to Middle Miocene deep marine clay and siliceous ooze in the southern ...

Computed tomography reveals the endocranial anatomy of Crocodylia: Implications for phylogenetic relationships and ecomorphological convergence across Crocodylomorpha

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth and paratympanic sinuses, and the presence of additional snout sinuses.

Model of limestone weathering and damage in masonry : sedimentological and geotechnical controls in the Globigerina limestone formation (Miocene) of Malta [PDF]

, 2006
Five types and subtypes of stone used in construction in the Maltese Islands and three problematic stone types, mostly extracted from facies within the Oligo-Miocene Valletta Basin, are identified.

A description of dental microanatomy and implantation geometry in Chamaeleonidae

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A reassessment of the dental histology in adult chamaeleons reveals the presence of periodontal ligament. Alongside alveolar bone and cementum, these tissues together constitute a compacted and remodelled tripartite periodontium. Our findings include the novel observation of plicidentine‐like protuberances of dentine within underlying bone.

The Unexpected Discovery of Paleocene? Coals in Outcrops Thought to Be Cambrian, Al Huqf, Oman

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two brown organic deposits were encountered whilst investigating kaolinitic claystones thought to occur at the base of a Cambrian formation at outcrop. The age of these organic deposits is probably Paleocene from palynology. Organic petrography shows that they are subbituminous coals with some oil source potential.

Evolution, Routing and Reservoir Characteristics of Submarine Channels in a Structurally Deforming Slope Setting: Deep‐Water Joint Development Zone of Nigeria and São Tomé and Príncipe

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐water slope channels and associated facies are a major part of clastic sediment dispersal system extending from the shelf‐edge to the abyssal plain. The toe‐thrust area of the deep‐water Niger Delta enables the analysis of these channels and their interaction with evolving fault‐controlled sea‐floor topography to be determined ...

Paleomagnetic Evidence of Internal Rotation in the Eastern Qiangtang and Its Relation to Distributed Strike‐Slip Faulting in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

Geophysical Research Letters
The southeastern Tibetan Plateau has undergone complex deformation due to the India‐Eurasia collision. Although late‐stage internal rotations are documented in the Lanping‐Simao Terrane to the south, it remains unclear whether similar processes have ...
