Landscape-scale drivers of glacial ecosystem change in the montane forests of the eastern Andean flank, Ecuador [PDF]
Understanding the impact of landscape-scale disturbance events during the last glacial period is vital in accu- rately reconstructing the ecosystem dynamics of montane environments. Here, a sedimentary succession from the tropical montane cloud forest of

An integrated approach to understanding the role of the long neck in plesiosaurs [PDF]
The evolution and function of the long neck in plesiosaurs, and how the problems associated with stiffness or flexibility were overcome during feeding, or rapid swimming during predator avoidance, are explored, and a new interpretation for the function ...

Palaeoecology of corals and stromatoporoids in a late Silurian biostrome in Estonia [PDF]
A middle Ludlow biostrome at Katri, western Estonia, the richest accumulation of corals and stromatoporoids in Estonia, is partly exposed in a coastal section ca. 1 m high, 150 m long. The fully marine biostrome consists of 5 layers of skeletal carbonate,

Ontogeny, muscle scars, colour pattern and predation marks in a Silurian orthoceratid cephalopod [PDF]
Muscle scars, embryonic shell, colour pattern and intraspecific variation are known together in a very limited numberof straight shelled cephalopods, leading to uncertainty in the classification of the subclass Orthoceratoidea.

Evidence of microbial activity from a shallow water whale fall (Voghera, northern Italy) [PDF]
The fossil bones, associated carbonate cements and enclosing concretion of a Miocene mysticete from inner shelf deposits (Monte Vallassa Formation, northern Italy) were analyzed for evidence of microbial activity. Optical and scanning electron microscopy,
