Combined Reconstruction of the Posterolateral Corner, Anterior Cruciate Ligament, and Lateral Extra‐articular Tenodesis Using Autografts and a Single Femoral Tunnel

Arthroscopy Techniques, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract This surgical technique describe the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and the posterolateral corner, in addition to lateral extra‐articular tenodesis, using a single femoral tunnel positioned at Stannard's isometric point. The technique employs autologous grafts from the semitendinosus, gracilis, and iliotibial band, resulting ...

Phylogenetically‐informed estimates of notosuchian (Archosauria, Crocodylomorpha) body size and the challenges of inferring macroevolutionary patterns in extinct groups

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Notosuchian crocodylomorphs were predominantly active terrestrial predators, exhibiting a wide range of ecomorphological specializations and body sizes. Given that body size plays an important role in the life history of vertebrates, its accurate estimation for notosuchians is crucial for understanding macroevolutionary and macroecological ...

Application of Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) for Delineating Geomagnetic and Lithospheric Signatures Associated With M7.6 Japan Earthquake

Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract In this paper, Singular Spectral Analysis (SSA) is applied to the geomagnetic field to delineate signatures from different sources, such as geomagnetic variability and lithospheric processes. We performed SSA on the Y component of the Swarm satellite magnetic field By during the period from September 2023 to January 2024. Eigen values obtained

Complete Rainforest Elevational Gradient Reveals Unusual Diversity Patterns of Non‐Volant Mammals in New Guinea

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim We address a critical gap in the elevational community ecology of tropical non‐volant mammals in the Australian and Oceanian zoogeographic realms. Specifically, we document alpha and beta diversity, environmental predictors and community composition of individual clades in relation to their ecology and evolutionary history along an ...
