Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Molecular Palaeontology Prospects From Exceptionally Preserved Eocene Brackish‐Water Bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis (Venerida: Corbiculidae) From Hokkaido, Japan

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
This study reports the exceptional preservation of the Eocene freshwater bivalve Batissa sitakaraensis from Hokkaido, Japan. Multimodal analyses reveal that both the aragonitic shell mineralogy and the delicate organic periostracum retain their original structural and chemical characteristics after millions of years.

Loanwords and Linguistic Phylogenetics: *pelek̑u‐ ‘axe’ and *(H)a(i̯)g̑‐ ‘goat’1

open access: yesTransactions of the Philological Society, Volume 123, Issue 1, Page 116-136, March 2025.
Abstract This paper assesses the role of borrowings in two different approaches to linguistic phylogenetics: Traditional qualitative analyses of lexemes, and quantitative computational analysis of cognacy. It problematises the assumption that loanwords can be excluded altogether from datasets of lexical cognacy.

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Regulating Uncharted Waters: The EU Platform Work Directive Between Uncertainty, Lobbyism and Politicisation

open access: yesJCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In 2024, the EU adopted a much‐debated directive on improving working conditions in platform work, which aims to facilitate the correct classification of people performing platform work and regulates the use of algorithmic management. The initiative attracted intense lobbying from digital platforms and trade unions, whilst dividing the member ...

In Vitro Evaluation of Bond Strength of Adhesive Systems to Dentin and Stability of the Hybrid Layer

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Contemporary dental adhesives demonstrate strong durable adhesion to enamel while long‐term bonding stability to dentin remains uncertain. This in vitro study aimed to compare conventional dentin conditioning protocols supplemented with protease inhibition and chelate‐based conditioning protocols. Materials and Methods Four groups of

A bristle‐nosed Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii) bears true dermal odontodes on its snout

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Teeth show extreme diversity, including tooth‐like dermal odontodes or “skin teeth” in many extant fishes. We describe the anatomy of enlarged tubercles on the snout of Redfieldius, an extinct early Jurassic fish. We found that the tubercles in Redfieldius are dermal odontodes that evolved independently from those of living species. Abstract Comparison

Language Dominance Shapes Protracted Development of Nonpersonal Clitics (Even) in Cases of Widespread Bilingualism

open access: yesLanguage Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Little research has explored how language dominance may affect the development and ultimate attainment of morphosyntax in a situation of widespread and social bilingualism, where exposure to both languages starts early on and can be sustained over time.

The Pictures and the Frame: Banknote Iconography and Bottom‐Up Nationalism in Pre‐ and Post‐Revolutionary Tunisia

open access: yesNations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Bottom‐up nationalism’—the belief that the nation is of the people, by the people and for the people—can serve as a powerful collective action frame for mass mobilization. We study the evolution of Tunisian dinar banknote iconography as an indicator of the institutionalization of bottom‐up nationalism before and after the Jasmine Revolution ...

Trimerous magnoliid flowers with a unique set of floral and pollen traits from the Late Cretaceous of Southern Bohemia (Czech Republic)

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...
