An extensive reef system at the Amazon River mouth
Science Advances, 2016 A novel Amazonian reef biome was discovered, encompassing large rhodolith and sponge beds under low light, low oxygen, and high POC. Large rivers create major gaps in reef distribution along tropical shelves. The Amazon River represents 20% of the global

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian
