Soft tissues influence nasal airflow in diapsids: Implications for dinosaurs
Bony‐bounded airway of the theropod, Majungasaurus, showing multiple regions of the nasal passage where comparative CFD studies can reliably infear soft‐tissue locations. Abstract The nasal passage performs multiple functions in amniotes, including olfaction and thermoregulation.

Large‐scale impacts of selective logging on canopy tree beta‐diversity in the Brazilian Amazon
Minimal impacts on tree beta‐diversity across large spatial scales points towards the retention of substantial conservation value in logged tropical forests. Strong subtractive heterogenization in very large trees indicates the breakdown of broad scale patterns of composition with potential negative consequences for recruitment processes, fauna reliant

Earnings inequality and dynamics in the presence of informality: The case of Brazil
Using rich administrative and household survey data spanning 34 years from 1985 to 2018, we document a series of new facts on earnings inequality and dynamics in a developing country with a large informal sector: Brazil. Since the mid‐1990s, both inequality and volatility of earnings have declined significantly in Brazil's formal sector.
