Pelagiella exigua, an early Cambrian stem gastropod with chaetae: lophotrochozoan heritage and conchiferan novelty

open access: yesPalaeontology, 2020
Exceptionally well‐preserved impressions of two bundles of bristles protrude from the apertures of small, spiral shells of Pelagiella exigua, recovered from the Kinzers Formation (Cambrian, Stage 4, ‘Olenellus Zone’, c. 512 Ma) of Pennsylvania.

Streptoneury Is Independent From Ontogenetic Torsion in the Caenogastropod Snail Marisa Cornuarietis

open access: yes, 2021
A hallmark in snails’ anatomy is the conspicuous crossing of the pleurovisceral nerve cords present in all but the most derived gastropod clades. This feature is called streptoneury and hitherto near-universally believed to derive from the process of ...

Shape Memory Soft Robotics with Yield Stress Fluids

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 5, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
Many organisms use non‐Newtonian fluids and pressurized cavities to produce movement. Inspired by these biological motifs, this study 3D prints soft robotics into a yield stress support matrix and retains the support material as the power transmission fluid.

A Molecular‐Scale Understanding of Misorientation Toughening in Corals and Seashells

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 35, Issue 28, July 13, 2023., 2023
Coral skeletons and nacre (left and right, respectively) have distinct structures, but they share slight misorientation of adjacent crystals, as displayed in these maps where color represents crystal orientation, and as measured in the histogram (center bottom).

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Facies mosaic distribution and stratigraphic disorder of a mixed carbonate–siliciclastic tidal succession

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 1, Page 40-82, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Complex stratigraphic arrangements may be generated through lateral facies transitions from the strata of aeolian depositional systems into bordering peritidal deposits. In such scenarios, sedimentary architectural complexity and associated facies heterogeneities are governed by the interplay between autogenic processes inherent to tidal ...

Biological and Biologically Inspired Functional Nanostructures: Insights into Structural, Optical, Thermal, and Sensing Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 51, December 23, 2025.
Biological and biologically‐inspired functional nanostructures with structural, thermal, optical, and sensing applications are reviewed. The role of nanoscale features in biological materials on performance is described, and their blueprints are used for bio‐inspired nanomaterials, synthesized using advanced techniques (i.e., photolithography, bio ...

Screening Relaxants for Efficacy and Effects on Growth for Greenlip Abalone, Haliotis laevigata Donovan

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Relaxants are used in abalone aquaculture to facilitate handling, transport and grading stock, with minimal injury, stress, immune suppression and mortality. Benzocaine has been commonly used as an abalone relaxant but negative behavioural responses to exposure have been observed, and in some countries it has a withholding period, precluding ...

Apical Sensory Organ in Larvae of the Patellogastropod Tectura scutum

open access: yesThe Biological Bulletin, 2002
The apical sensory organ in veliger larvae of a patellogastropod, a basal clade of gastropod molluscs, was studied using ultrastructural and immunohistochemical techniques.
