Taxonomic Revision of Jingle Shells: Resurrecting and Reclassifying Species of Anomiidae (Bivalvia: Pectinida). [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe family Anomiidae displays taxonomic ambiguity due to morphological plasticity. We resurrect Heteranomia aculeata and Pododesmus glaucus, while reclassifying Isonomia umbonata as Pododesmus umbonatus. Phylogenetic analyses confirm these revisions and the monophyly of all genera within Anomiidae, with Pododesmus as the earliest‐diverging lineage ...

Direct numerical simulation for modification of sinusoidal riblets
Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2016 This paper proposes a new riblet configuration. A traditional sinusoidal riblet was modified with the aim of reducing pressure drag. The height of the side wall in the newly configured riblet is lowered toward the node of the sinusoidal curve to reduce ...
