Bacterial mineralization treatments can be effective, nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and chemically compatible with fossil heritage. However, accurate monitoring should be carried out to detect bacteria viability during and after treatments. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) assay is proposed as a fast, affordable, portable, and easy‐to‐use system for ...

New early Eocene tapiromorph perissodactyls from the Ghazij Formation of Pakistan, with implications for mammalian biochronology in Asia [PDF]
Early Eocene mammals from Indo-Pakistan have only recently come under study. Here we describe the first tapiromorph perissodactyls from the subcontinent. Gandheralophus minor n. gen. and n. sp. and G. robustus n. sp.

Clumpy Cold Dark Matter and Biological Extinctions [PDF]
Cosmological models with cosmic string and texture seeded universes predict a present abundance of very dense clumps of Cold Dark Matter particles. Their crossing through the solar system would induce a non-negligible amount of radiation damage to all living tissue; the severity of such an episode is assessed. The estimated frequency of these crossings

Unique bone microanatomy reveals ancestry of subterranean specializations in mammals
Abstract Acquiring a subterranean lifestyle entails a substantial shift for many aspects of terrestrial vertebrates’ biology. Although this lifestyle is associated with multiple instances of convergent evolution, the relative success of some subterranean lineages largely remains unexplained.
