An integrative approach to assess non‐native iguana presence on Saba and Montserrat: Are we losing all native Iguana populations in the Lesser Antilles?

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, 2023
Invasive alien species are among the main drivers of the ongoing sixth mass extinction wave, especially affecting island populations. Although the Caribbean is well‐known for its high species richness and endemism, also for reptiles, equally important is

Soft Robots for Cluttered Environments Based on Origami Anisotropic Stiffness Structure (OASS) Inspired by Desert Iguana

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, 2023
Rigidity and softness are essential for robot motion and manipulation in various complex scenarios. To integrate these two contrary features, several variable‐stiffness structures are investigated while requiring a longer processing time and more energy ...

Characterizing pink and white noise in the human electroencephalogram

open access: yesJournal of Neural Engineering, 2021
Objective. The power spectrum of the human electroencephalogram (EEG) as a function of frequency is a mix of brain oscillations (Osc) (e.g. alpha activity around 10 Hz) and non-Osc or noise of uncertain origin. ‘White noise’ is uniformly distributed over

Endocranial anatomy of the earliest Cretaceous European neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis provides new evidence for the ecological evolution of Pholidosauridae

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 787-802, October 2026.
We present new insights into the internal cranial anatomy of the neosuchian crocodyliform Pholidosaurus purbeckensis, based on CT‐scan data of material from the lowermost Cretaceous Purbeck Limestone Group, southern UK. From the study of the endocast, we obtained new information on the phylogeny and the ecological evolution of the Family ...
