The progeny of a cosmic titan: a massive multi-component proto-supercluster in formation at z = 2.45 in VUDS [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2018
We unveil the complex shape of a proto-supercluster at z ∼ 2.45 in the COSMOS field exploiting the synergy of both spectroscopic and photometric redshifts.

Characterization of the proto-Philippine Sea Plate: Evidence from the emplaced oceanic lithospheric fragments along eastern Philippines

, 2020
The proto-Philippine Sea Plate (pPSP) has been proposed by several authors to account for the origin of the Mesozoic supra-subduction ophiolites along the Philippine archipelago.

A hierarchical, retinotopic proto-organization of the primate visual system at birth

eLife, 2017
The adult primate visual system comprises a series of hierarchically organized areas. Each cortical area contains a topographic map of visual space, with different areas extracting different kinds of information from the retinal input.

Mesozoic rock suites along western Philippines: Exposed proto-South China Sea fragments?

, 2020
An ancient oceanic crustal leading edge east of mainland Asia, the proto-South China Sea crust, must have existed during the Mesozoic based on tectonic reconstructions that accounted for the presence of subducted slabs in the lower mantle and the exposed

Late Eocene onset of the Proto-Antarctic Circumpolar Current

Scientific Reports, 2019
The formation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is critical for the evolution of the global climate, but the timing of its onset is not well constrained.

Gene-Level, but Not Chromosome-Wide, Divergence between a Very Young House Fly Proto-Y Chromosome and Its Homologous Proto-X Chromosome

bioRxiv, 2020
X and Y chromosomes are usually derived from a pair of homologous autosomes, which then diverge from each other over time. Although Y-specific features have been characterized in sex chromosomes of various ages, the earliest stages of Y chromosome ...

Nature and demise of the Proto-South China Sea

, 2017
The term Proto-South China Sea has been used in a number of different ways. It was originally introduced to describe oceanic crust that formerly occupied the region north of Borneo where the modern South China Sea is situated.

HP–UHP Metamorphic Belt in the East Kunlun Orogen: Final Closure of the Proto-Tethys Ocean and Formation of the Pan-North-China Continent

Journal of Petrology, 2018
The East Kunlun Orogen, the northwestern part of the Central China Orogenic Belt, is a long-lived accretionary orogenic belt that records the evolution and eventual destruction of branches of the Tethys Ocean, from the Cambrian to the Triassic.

The Segmentation of Proto-Objects in the Monkey Primary Visual Cortex.

Current Biology, 2019
During visual perception, the brain enhances the representations of image regions that belong to figures and suppresses those that belong to the background.
