Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Osteology of the pectoral girdle and forelimb of Siriusgnathus niemeyerorum, a Late Triassic traversodontid cynodont from Brazil

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Traversodontids are non‐mammaliaform cynodonts, herbivorous to omnivorous, that lived during the Triassic. In the Late Triassic, some members of this group increased in body size relative to other cynodont lineages and evolved postcranial adaptations associated with locomotion.

Subzonal insemination with primary spermatocytes in mouse

open access: yesChinese Science Bulletin, 1997
IT is well known that oocytes, in general condition, can be penetrated by sperm rather thanround spermatids. In 1993, Ogura injected round spermatid nuclei into hamster oocytes anddemonstrated that the spermatid nuclei could transform into pronuclei with DNA synthesis andthat their chromosomes mingled with oocyte chromosomes immediately.

Exceptional preservation informs the paleobiology of tapinocephalid dinocephalians

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tapinocephalid dinocephalian Moschops is one of the most iconic taxa of the middle Permian, yet its paleobiology remains one of the least well‐known. Here, we address some aspects of paleoneurology and paleobiology of Moschops using CT scanning of four well preserved skulls from the upper Abrahamskraal Formation of South Africa. Two of the

NEW EARLY BATHONIAN BIGOTITINAE AND ZIGZAGICERATINAE (AMMONOIDEA, MIDDLE JURASSIC)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2007
Several tens of Lower Bathonian Bigotites from Digne-Castellane region (SE France) and Cabo Mondego area (Portugal) have been reviewed. Three species have been distinguished in the lowermost subzone of the Zigzag Zone (Parvum Subzone) just above the ...

Construction and Application of a Novel C‐Vine Copula‐Based Multi‐Variate Ecological Drought Index

open access: yesIrrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A comprehensive ecological drought index capturing vegetation growth conditions and meteorological–hydrological variability is essential for assessing ecological drought and optimizing water resource management. This study selected soil moisture (SM), actual evapotranspiration (ET), land surface temperature (LST) and leaf area index (LAI) to ...

Recovery of southern mountain caribou habitat following wildfire in Ulkatcho territory, British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Caribou forage lichens were present in post‐burn lodgepole pine stands multiple decades before stem‐density was likely open enough to attract wintering caribou. We posit that the prolonged self‐thinning of lodgepole pine after fire may be a greater limiting factor than lichen abundance for habitat recovery in lodgepole pine forests.

Three‐dimensional subzone‐based reconstruction algorithm for MR elastography [PDF]

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, 2001
AbstractAccurate characterization of harmonic tissue motion for realistic tissue geometries and property distributions requires knowledge of the full three‐dimensional displacement field because of the asymmetric nature of both the boundaries of the tissue domain and the location of internal mechanical heterogeneities.

The calcareous nannofossils and magnetostratigraphic results from the Upper Tithonian–Berriasian of Feodosiya region (Eastern Crimea)

open access: yesGeologica Carpathica, 2019
This article is concerned with nannofossil study of Tithonian–Berriasian sediments of Eastern Crimea. The NJT 16, NJT 17a, NJT 17b, NKT, and NK 1 nannofossil zones were determined. The occurrence of Nannoconus kamptneri minor, one of the potential marker-

Competition and soil conditions limit the growth of High Arctic non‐native plants

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Non‐native vascular plant species in the High Arctic are currently restricted mainly to settlements and other anthropogenically disturbed areas. The reasons for this remain unclear, but climate or dispersal do not appear to be the main limiting factors. Instead, biotic interactions combined with soil conditions may play important roles.
