The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Difference equation state approximations for nonlinear hereditary control problems [PDF]
Discrete approximation schemes for the solution of nonlinear hereditary control problems are constructed. The methods involve approximation by a sequence of optimal control problems in which the original infinite dimensional state equation has been ...

A novel stochastic ten non-polynomial cubic splines method for heat equations with noise term
In this paper, a new numerical method for solving a class of stochastic partial differential equations is presented. The proposed method is based on a non-polynomial cubic spline algorithm with an O(h4) local truncation error.

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Abstract Walruses have been an important subsistence and cultural resource for humans and have been exploited for millennia across their distribution. This exploitation has contributed to severe declines in several populations and local extirpations.

Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Advancing Cave Survey Methods: High‐Precision Mapping in Drakotrypa Cave, Greece
ABSTRACT Cave floor mapping plays a vital role across various scientific disciplines by enabling the identification and interpretation of features shaped by both natural processes and human activity. In cave archaeology, floor mapping is crucial to decode and reconstruct human‐induced morphological features.
