Body mass estimation in paleontology: a review of volumetric techniques
, 2016 Body mass is a key parameter for understanding the physiology, biomechanics and ecology of an organism. Within paleontology, body mass is a fundamental prerequisite for many studies considering body size evolution, survivorship patterns and the ...

Biological Effects of Stellar Collapse Neutrinos [PDF]
Phys.Rev.Lett. 76 (1996) 999-1002, 1995 Massive stars in their final stages of collapse radiate most of their binding energy in the form of MeV neutrinos. The recoil atoms that they produce in elastic scattering off nuclei in organic tissue create radiation damage which is highly effective in the production of irreparable DNA harm, leading to cellular mutation, neoplasia and oncogenesis ...

PLoS ONE, 2018 Historically, studies aimed at prospecting and analyzing paleontological and neontological data to investigate species distribution have developed separately. Research at the interface between paleontology and biogeography has shown a unidirectional bias,

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2017 The moment arm of a muscle defines its leverage around a given joint. In a clinical setting, the quantification of muscle moment arms is an important means of establishing the ‘healthy’ functioning of a muscle and in identifying and treating ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The occurrence of different microorganisms on aquatic macrophyte fossils suggests that biofilm microbes may facilitate leaf preservation. Understanding the impact of microorganisms on leaf preservation requires studies on living plants coupled with microbial amplicon sequencing.

A comprehensive illustrated protocol for clearing, mounting, and imaging leaf venation networks
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Leaf venation network architecture can provide insights into plant evolution, ecology, and physiology. Venation networks are typically assessed through histological methods, but existing protocols provide limited guidance on processing large or challenging leaves.

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Pteridophytes—vascular land plants that disperse by spores—are a powerful system for studying plant evolution, particularly with respect to the impact of abiotic factors on evolutionary trajectories through deep time. However, our ability to use pteridophytes to investigate such questions—or to capitalize on the ecological and ...
