The Middle Pleistocene Transition by frequency locking and slow ramping of internal period [PDF]
, 2019 The increase in glacial cycle length from approximately $41$ to on average $100$ thousand years around $1$ million years ago, called the Middle Pleistocene Transition (MPT), lacks a conclusive explanation. We describe a dynamical mechanism which we call Ramping with Frequency Locking (RFL), that explains the transition by an interaction between the ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The evolution of organisms can be studied through the lens of developmental systems, as the timing of development of morphological features is an important aspect to consider when studying a phenotype. Such data can be challenging to obtain in fossil amniotes owing to the scarcity of their fossil record. However, the numerous remains of Rancho

Evidence for Nearby Supernova Explosions [PDF]
Phys.Rev.Lett. 88 (2002) 081101, 2002 Supernova explosions are one of the most energetic--and potentially lethal--phenomena in the Universe. Scientists have speculated for decades about the possible consequences for life on Earth of a nearby supernova, but plausible candidates for such an event were lacking.

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 87, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023 We evaluated how wetland occupancy by duck broods varied across crop‐dominated landscapes of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) in the United States to inform conservation strategies in the face of widespread land use alterations and climate change. We found about 4 in 10 small wetlands in crop‐dominated landscapes within the PPR were used by duck broods
