‘Chrystalline Talk’: Thomas Browne's Poetics of Concretion and Mineral Plain Style
Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article charts the figuration, both material and rhetorical, of mineral bodies in early modern natural philosophy, paying particular attention to the second book of Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica (1646). It argues that concretions (stony calculi and crystals formed through the aggregation of physical matter) make manifest a mineral

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Filamentous, anastomosing spar‐filled networks in Phanerozoic carbonates have been interpreted as the mineralised remains of keratose (non‐spiculate) sponges, yet their recognition remains contested because fabrics of broadly similar appearance may arise from microbial, diagenetic or physical processes. This study combines direct fossil–modern

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.Parasites play crucial roles in ecosystem balance yet remain largely excluded from conservation assessments. This paper introduces novel indices for quantifying parasite endemism, conservation status and taxonomic‐weighted diversity, alongside the ZISTA software for automated calculation.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1713-1748, July 2026.Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1702-1712, July 2026.Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

The Structure and Lifecycle of Stratified Mixing by Shear Instabilities in Continuously Forced Flows
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract The turbulent energy cascade of ocean mixing remains poorly understood at geophysically large Reynolds numbers (Re $\mathrm{R}\mathrm{e}$). Here we propose a new conceptual model for the structure of small‐scale mixing grounded in high‐resolution multibeam echosounding observations from the mouth of the Connecticut River, a shallow salt‐wedge ...
