An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

A new species of Lonchidiidae (Hybodontiformes) from the Late Jurassic of Brazil (Aliança Formation, Jatobá Basin)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Aliança Formation (Jatobá Basin) represents lacustrine deposits formed in oxygenated waters that hosted a diverse fauna, including Hybodontiform sharks. Within this group, the Family Lonchidiidae comprises 11 valid genera, with Parvodus previously reported in Brazilian deposits from the Brejo Santo Formation (Araripe Basin, Late Jurassic ...

Planktonic Respiration in a Shallow Eutrophic Lake

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2006
ABSTRACT We studied the relationships between planktonic respiration and key physicochemical parameters and total autochthonous biomass for three years in Lake Pamvotis, a shallow and eutrophic Greek lake. Planktonic community respiration was correlated with only one environmental parameter, dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentration, which appeared to

Modeling molecular structure and behavior of microbial extracellular polymeric substances through interacting-particle reaction dynamics

Chemical Engineering Journal Advances, 2021
Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are essential for bacteria to interact with external environments and play a key role in the formation of microbial aggregates.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Toxic response of aquatic organisms to guide application of artemisinin sustained-release granule algaecide

Water Science and Engineering, 2020
In our previous study, we prepared the granules by embedding artemisinin into alginate-chitosan using microcapsule technology. These granules can release artemisinin sustainably and have a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of both single Microcystis

More Robust Co-Occurrence Patterns and Stronger Dispersal Limitations of Bacterial Communities in Wet than Dry Seasons of Riparian Wetlands

mSystems, 2023
Riparian wetlands can be used as “sentinels” of environmental changes and play pivotal roles in ecological and biogeochemical processes. The bacterial community is an essential and rapidly responding component in riparian areas.

Nasal soft‐tissue anatomy of Triceratops and other horned dinosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Although ceratopsid dinosaurs possess a characteristically hypertrophied narial region, soft‐tissue anatomy associated with such a skeletal structure and their biological significance remain poorly understood. The present study provides the first comprehensive hypothesis on the soft‐tissue anatomy in the ceratopsid rostrum based on the Extant ...

Implications of Condition Shifts on Shallow Lakes

, 2021
Shallow lakes have undergone condition shifts throughout time by natural causes, management actions, or a combination of the two. Because shallow lakes are especially vulnerable to shifts towards turbid conditions, management actions on shallow lakes ...

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in theropod dinosaur dental microwear and its palaeoecological implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).
