Topological Structure Characteristics of Ecological Spatial Networks and Their Correlation with Sand Fixation Function

Land
The current research indicates that the Ecological Spatial Network (ESN) supports critical regulating services, yet the quantitative coupling between its topological structure and the sand fixation function has received limited attention.

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

Soil loss estimation using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation and geospatial techniques in the Upper Suvarnavathy River Basin, Karnataka, India

Journal of Degraded and Mining Lands Management
Soil erosion occurs gradually when the impact of water or wind detaches and removes soil particles, causing the soil to deteriorate. Because of its adverse effects on biomass and economic production, soil degradation is a worldwide environmental issue ...

Postcranial anatomy and osteohistology of an early prozostrodont cynodont from the Upper Triassic of Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.

Osteology of the pectoral girdle and forelimb of Siriusgnathus niemeyerorum, a Late Triassic traversodontid cynodont from Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Traversodontids are non‐mammaliaform cynodonts, herbivorous to omnivorous, that lived during the Triassic. In the Late Triassic, some members of this group increased in body size relative to other cynodont lineages and evolved postcranial adaptations associated with locomotion.

Dynamic Simulation of the Supply and Demand of Ecosystem Windbreak and Sand Fixation Service in the Wuding River Basin

Land
Wind erosion can cause land degradation and other harmful effects. Examining the ecosystem windbreak and sand fixation service (WSFS) from the perspectives of supply and demand plays a crucial role in the continuous regulation of regional wind erosion ...

Remote Roca: Integrating Data From Archaeological Survey, Remote Sensing and Geophysics in the Hinterland at the Long‐Lasting Mediterranean Site of Rocavecchia (Apulia, Italy)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a multi‐method non‐invasive investigation of an approximately 4‐ha area associated with the long‐occupied coastal settlement of Rocavecchia (Apulia, southern Italy), situated between the prehistoric fortified peninsula and the Hellenistic‐Messapian walls.

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Study on the relationship between topological characteristics of vegetation ecospatial network and sand fixation function in the Mongolian Plateau

Kuwait Journal of Science
The spatial structure of vegetation plays a pivotal role in determining the sand fixation function of ecosystems. However, the interaction between vegetation spatial structure at the regional scale and its sand fixation function remains insufficiently ...
