Soft tissues influence nasal airflow in diapsids: Implications for dinosaurs
Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 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
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1181-1193, June 2023., 2023 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
Quantitative Economics, Volume 13, Issue 4, Page 1405-1446, November 2022., 2022 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.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 305, Issue 10, Page 2883-2903, October 2022., 2022 Abstract The remarkably thin rostrum in the Indian gharial (Gavialis gangeticus) imparts challenges to nasal physiology. Competition for space in the slim jaws necessitates a thin nasal septum, leaving this taxon susceptible to nasal passage abnormalities such as septal deviation.
