Intra‐ and Interspecific Effects on Spatio‐Temporal Behavior of Common Commensal Rodent Species

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study revealed major findings on spatio‐temporal behavior of commensal rodents on a pig farm showing the influence of interspecific dominance on movement behavior and the resulting species‐specific ecological adaptations. Additionally, rodents tend to stay in their home ranges and migration to other stable buildings is only rare.

Late‐Stage Rift Evolution at Back Arc Basins: Insights From a Tomography Experiment at Orca Volcano, Bransfield Basin

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Back‐arc basins provide insights into the processes governing the evolution of continental rifting to seafloor spreading. The Bransfield basin hosts a back arc rift that is hypothesized to be in the late stages of this transition.

The Earliest Feathers from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation of North Hebei: Implications for the Early Evolution of the Jehol Biota

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Lithospheric Seismic Structure of the Anatolian Plate and Its Implications for Plateau Uplift: Evidence From Joint Inversion of Receiver Functions and Surface Waves

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
High topography (>1 km) on the Anatolian Plate is widely attributed to buoyant mantle support, not just the isostatic response of crustal shortening.

New Results From the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic Site of Al Uyaynah, Tabuk, in Northwestern Saudi Arabia

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Al Uyaynah is a low sandstone mound on an alluvial plain, long known for its extensive surface remains of stone‐built circular and rectangular structures. Following test excavations in 2012, more detailed excavation was undertaken in 2016 within one of the largest rectangular stone structures.

An Experimental Approach on Pearl Shell (Pinctada margaritifera) for a Microwear Study of Shell Artefacts From French Polynesia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pinctada margaritifera (black‐lipped pearl oyster) artefacts are ubiquitous in the archaeological record throughout the Pacific and particularly in Polynesia. Despite efforts towards the development of typologies, the lack of microwear and use‐wear studies has prevented the development of technological approaches. We used 20 pearl shell valves

Re‐evaluation of the dinosaur tail sign: Analysis of spinal magnetic resonance imaging signs in patients with chronic post–dural‐puncture headache

Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the lumbar spine in patients with chronic post–dural‐puncture headache. Background Post–dural‐puncture headache is a common complication after dural puncture usually resolving within 14 days.
