Comparative Morphology and Homology of the Hyoid Apparatus and Associated Muscles in Beloniform Fishes (Teleostei: Atherinomorpha)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 8, August 2026.
Homology of the branchiostegals rays in atherinomorph fishes demonstrated by the position of the rays relative to the interhyoideus muscle. In beloniform outgroups, above, the two groups of branchiostegal rays are separated by the interhyoideus. In beloniform fishes, below, only one group of branchiostegal rays is present.

Volcanic Characteristics of Kueishantao in Northeast Taiwan and Their Implications

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2010
Kueishantao (KST) is a small offshore volcanic island located at the southernmost part of the Okinawa Trough. In this study, we conducted a detailed mapping incorporating the new high resolution LiDAR DTM laser scanning device to accurately construct a ...

New findings on submerged patch reefs and reefal carbonate rocks at water depths of 70–100 m on the insular shelf off Miyako-jima, southern Ryukyus, Japan

Progress in Earth and Planetary Science, 2020
Sub-bottom profiling (SBP) surveys and bathymetric mapping conducted off the shore of Miyako-jima, which belongs to the southern Ryukyus in the Ryukyu Island Arc, have revealed the presence of mound-shaped structures 3–8 m high and 50–120 m wide at ...

Origin of Alkaline Basaltic Intrusive Rocks in an Exhumed Accretionary Complex: Implications for Past Petit‐Spot Volcanism in the Ocean

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2023
Accreted basaltic rocks are expected to provide information on intraplate volcanism in the oceans. Basaltic rocks, originating from mid‐ocean ridges, plateaus, and seamounts, have been reported from exhumed accretionary complexes. However, basaltic rocks

Event Deposits Recorded Over the Past 800 kyr in IODP Hole U1433A (South China Sea): Implications of a Revised Methodology for Chronology and Paleoclimate Reconstruction

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Instantaneous event deposits such as turbidites, debrites, and slumps are common and frequently occur in marginal seas. These instantaneous deposits represent seconds to days in duration, and can therefore significantly impact age‐depth models and interpretation of paleoclimate history based on thick sedimentary sequences recovered in deep ...

Seismic Constraints on Igneous Intrusions and Fluid/Gas Distribution in a Continental Back‐Arc System: Evidence From the Yaeyama Rift in the Southern Okinawa Trough

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The geometry and distribution of igneous intrusions, which define melt source locations and record syn‐emplacement stress conditions, are essential for understanding tectonic and magmatic processes associated with crustal extension. However, in back‐arc settings along continental margins, structural constraints on these features remain poorly ...

Receiver Function Imaging of the Crustal Structure Beneath Northern Taiwan Using Dense Linear Arrays

Geosciences, 2022
In order to realize the crustal structure in Taiwan, the receiver function method was used to analyze the teleseismic waveforms recorded by two orthogonal broadband linear arrays deployed in northern Taiwan in the east–west and south–north directions by ...

Male Dimorphism in a New Species of Cockroach Nocticola glenniei sp. nov. (Blattodea: Nocticolidae) Commensal Within Burrows of Macropanesthia rhinoceros Saussure, 1895 (Blattodea: Blaberidae)

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Polyphenism, where individuals of the same species exhibit distinct physical or behavioural forms, is widespread across insects. Although well studied in charismatic beetles and eusocial insects such as termites and bees, only a few minor cases of male dimorphism have been reported in non‐termite cockroaches. Here, we describe a new species of

Moho Fold Structure Beneath the East China Sea and Its Tectonic Implications

Remote Sensing
Moho fold structures provide critical insights into the tectonic evolution of the East China Sea. However, previous models exhibit substantial uncertainties, primarily resulting from the unaccounted gravitational effects of crustal sources and ...

Link between Crustal Magnetization and Earthquakes in Taiwan

Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2008
The active Taiwan orogen is located between the Ryukyu subduction zone in the northeast and the Manila subduction zone in the south. Intensive collision from the northwestward motion of the Luzon Arc has induced enormous earthquakes in and around Taiwan.
