Conservation Status, Decline Factors, and Strategies for Globally Endangered Musk Deer (Moschus spp.) in China 中国境内全球濒危麝属 (Moschus spp.) 物种的保护现状、致危因素及应对策略

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the status of musk deer in China, highlighting severe population declines due to illegal hunting and habitat loss, and proposes integrated conservation strategies including habitat protection, captive breeding, and law enforcement to support the recovery and sustainable management of this ecologically and economically important ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Beachrock formation influenced by co‐seismic deformation and relative sea‐level changes during the Holocene near the Gulf of Saros, Türkiye (NE Aegean Sea)

Boreas, EarlyView.
This is the first proof of beachrock found on the nearshore of the Gulf of Saros. Beachrock generation was influenced by tectonic activity, geomorphological processes, and sedimentation. The Late Holocene beachrock deposits were altered by co‐seismic deformation.

Carbonate stable isotope constraints on sources of arsenic contamination in Neogene tufas and travertines of Attica, Greece

Open Geosciences, 2017
We presented new C and O isotope data of rockforming calcite in terrestrial carbonate deposits from Neogene basins of Attica (Greece), coupled with standard mineralogical and bulk geochemical results.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Localized and Transient Oxygenation of Shallow Oceans of Southwestern Laurentia at the Ediacaran-Cambrian Boundary. [PDF]

Geobiology
ABSTRACT The Ediacaran–Cambrian boundary, which precedes one of the most significant biotic diversification events in Earth's history, is associated with a global negative carbon isotope excursion termed the BAsal Cambrian carbon isotope Excursion (BACE).

The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

Application of the Modified Shepard’s Method (MSM): A Case Study with the Interpolation of Neogene Reservoir Variables in Northern Croatia

Stats, 2020
Interpolation is a procedure that depends on the spatial and/or statistical properties of the analysed variable(s). It is a particularly challenging task for small datasets, such as in those with less than 20 points of data.

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Neogene seismites and seismic volcanic rocks in the Linqu area, Shandong Province, E China

Geologos, 2014
The Yishu Fault Zone runs through the centre of Shandong Province (E China); it is a deep-seated large fault system that still is active. Two volcanic faulted basins (the Shanwang and Linqu Basins) in the Linqu area, west of the fault zone, are exposed ...
