Fine mapping of the pond snail left-right asymmetry (chirality) locus using RAD-Seq and fibre-FISH.

PLoS ONE, 2013
The left-right asymmetry of snails, including the direction of shell coiling, is determined by the delayed effect of a maternal gene on the chiral twist that takes place during early embryonic cell divisions.

Dextral, normal, and sinistral faulting across the eastern California shear zone–Mina deflection transition, California-Nevada, USA [PDF]

Geosphere, 2019
AbstractStrike-slip faults commonly include extensional and contractional bends and stepovers, whereas rotational stepovers are less common. The Volcanic Tableland, Black Mountain, and River Spring areas (California and Nevada, USA) (hereafter referred to as the VBR region) straddle the transition from the dominantly NW-striking dextral faults that ...

Holocene Millennial‐Scale Variations of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma (Planktonic Foraminifera) in the Southeast Coastal Areas of Korea

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract We investigated fossil planktonic foraminifera from cores ND‐02 (Nakdong River delta) and PC‐11 (inner shelf off southeast Korea), to assess millennial‐scale variations in the surface oceanography. The coiling ratio of Neogloboquadrina pachyderma shows five millennial‐scale near‐cyclic variations (∼8.7–8.3, ∼7.5–6.2, ∼4.7, ∼2.8 and ∼0.5 ka ...

Slip in the 2010–2011 Canterbury earthquakes, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2012
The 3rd September 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield and 21st February 2011 Mw 6.3 Christchurch (New Zealand) earthquakes occurred on previously unknown faults. We use InSAR ground displacements, SAR amplitude offsets, field mapping, aerial photographs, satellite ...

Contemporaneous Stress in Taiwan: Evidence for Orogen‐Parallel Extension and Lower Crustal Extrusion

Tectonics, Volume 44, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Syn‐to late‐orogenic extension caused by gravitational collapse is a process that has been documented in most orogens. In this paper, we investigate the contemporaneous stress field in Taiwan to examine syn‐orogenic extensional faulting and the possible gravitational collapse modes by which it is taking place.

Pliocene Sinistral Slip across the Adobe Hills, Eastern California-Western Nevada: Kinematics of Fault Slip Transfer across the Mina Deflection [PDF]

, 2013
The Adobe Hills region (California and Nevada, USA) is a faulted volcanic field located within the western Mina deflection, a right-stepping zone of faults that connects the northern Eastern California shear zone (ECSZ) to the south with the Walker Lane ...

The Cyrilka Cave-the longest crevice-type cave in Czechia: structural controls, genesis, and age [PDF]

, 2018
The Cyrilka Cave is the second longest pseudokarst cave and the longest crevice-type cave in Czechia. Developed within the headscarp area of a deep-seated landslide, the cave became a focus of scientific research in recent years when new passages were ...

A Dynamic Dextral-Sinistral Model for the Structure and Evolution of Prominence Magnetic Fields [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1998
AbstractWe propose the following coherent model for prominences.(i)They are composed of many fine threads whose mass we suggest has two kinds of origin. Some of the mass may be lifted from the upper photosphere in response to cancellation of magnetic flux in small flux tubes.

Oligocene—Miocene Tectono‐Stratigraphic Development of the Southern Levant Basin, Eastern Mediterranean Sea

Basin Research, Volume 37, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Synthesis of Late Burdigalian tectono‐stratigraphic events occurring in and around the southern Levant Basin. Highlighted are the active NW‐Se‐striking normal faults nucleating onshore Sinai and across the southern Levant Basin. The offshore strike‐slip fault networks are also highlighted and are believed to be related to the same event which nucleated

Constraining the Kinematics of the Victoria Microplate and the Northern Western Branch of the East African Rift System

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 20, 28 October 2025.
Abstract The fragmentation of continents results in microplates that rotate to accommodate the lateral propagation of bounding rifts. Yet, the relationships between microplate rotation rates, fault slip, and kinematics at propagating rift tips remain unknown.
