Review of osteoderm function and future research directions

Journal of Zoology, Volume 325, Issue 1, Page 1-24, January 2025.
Osteoderms are bone plates in the skin that occur in virtually all major tetrapod clades. Much has been speculated about their function, but many questions remain unanswered. This review provides an overview of the current state of knowledge and future research directions in this field.

Disintegration highway: Towards a psychogeography of planetary urban breakdown

Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography, Volume 46, Issue 1, Page 138-156, January 2025.
This paper develops a psychogeographical approach to our apocalyptic urban present, based on a journey down a highway on the outskirts of the city of Iquitos in the Peruvian Amazon. The intensity of psychogeographical method brings out elements of the senselessness and violence of planetary urbanization imperceptible at more abstract levels of analysis,

How smart was T. rex? Testing claims of exceptional cognition in dinosaurs and the application of neuron count estimates in palaeontological research

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3685-3716, December 2024.
Abstract Recent years have seen increasing scientific interest in whether neuron counts can act as correlates of diverse biological phenomena. Lately, Herculano‐Houzel (2023) argued that fossil endocasts and comparative neurological data from extant sauropsids allow to reconstruct telencephalic neuron counts in Mesozoic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, which ...

Investigating the impact of transient hardware faults on deep learning neural network inference

Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, Volume 34, Issue 4, June 2024.
This study investigates the impact of transient hardware faults and algorithmic inaccuracies on DNN misclassifications in terms of safety‐critical behavior. Specifically, this study offers a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of multifaceted factors influencing the likelihood of safety‐critical misclassifications across different DNN models.

Motivations behind wild animal consumption in social media in Mexico: A case study

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 676-686, April 2024.
Abstract Wildlife trade is a worldwide threat to biodiversity. It is a complex problem, and to deal with it, one must analyse its constituting factors, some of which are specific to certain geographic areas. Although Mexican laws have prohibited selling wild products, Mexico is still both a source and consumer of exotic wildlife; however, there is ...

Ecological conflicts and valuation - mangroves vs. shrimp in the late 1990s [PDF]

, 2001
Shrimps are produced in two different ways. They are fished in the sea (sometimes at the cost of turtle destruction) or they are "farmed" in ponds in coastal areas.

Parallel Evolution of Tetrodotoxin Resistance in Three Voltage-Gated Sodium Channel Genes in the Garter Snake Thamnophis sirtalis [PDF]

, 2014
Members of a gene family expressed in a single species often experience common selection pressures. Consequently, the molecular basis of complex adaptations may be expected to involve parallel evolutionary changes in multiple paralogs.
