A guide to area‐restricted search: a foundational foraging behaviour
ABSTRACT Area‐restricted search is the capacity to change search effort adaptively in response to resource encounters or expectations, from directional exploration (global, extensive search) to focused exploitation (local, intensive search). This search pattern is used by numerous organisms, from worms and insects to humans, to find various targets ...

Late Quaternary syn‐rift basinal deposits in the Gulf of Corinth, Greece, are analysed using IODP Expedition 381 boreholes. Stratigraphic packages of mud‐dominated deposits record distinct hydrological conditions related to global sea‐level interacting with highs at the ends of the rift, highlight rift segment boundaries as controls on stratigraphy in ...

A possible home for a bizarre Carboniferous animal: is Typhloesus a pelagic gastropod? [PDF]
By contrast to many previously enigmatic Palaeozoic fossils, the Carboniferous metazoan Typhloesus has defied phylogenetic placement. Here, we document new features, including possible phosphatized muscle tissues and a hitherto unrecognized feeding ...

Biomineralized Materials as Model Systems for Structural Composites: 3D Architecture
Biomineralized load‐bearing materials are intrinsically 3D composites and are widely used as model systems for developing novel structural materials with improved mechanical performance. This review presents recent progress in understanding the 3D architectural design of biomineralized composites.

Large parts of the upper Midwest, USA were impacted by permafrost during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Even though permafrost persisted as the Laurentide Ice Sheet began to recede, direct age control of this interval is largely lacking. To better temporally constrain the permafrost interval in western Wisconsin, we identified two sites, outside the ...

Expressed sequence tag analysis of genes expressed during development of the tropical abalone Haliotis asinina [PDF]
The tropical abalone. Haliotis asinina. is,in ideal species to investigate the molecular mechanisms that control development. growth, reproduction and shell formation in all cultured haliotids. Here we describe the analysis of 232 expressed sequence tags

Abstract The ferruginous limpet is one of the most threatened invertebrate species in the Mediterranean Sea. Its controlled reproduction has been considered one of the potentially most effective strategies for the production of juveniles for population restocking or for recolonization of areas where the species was brought to extinction by human ...

Abstract This paper regards the lower Pleistocene temperate‐water carbonate deposits disconformably overlying an escarpment made up of faulted Cretaceous to Miocene limestones of the Apulia Foreland (southern Italy). Study deposits discontinuously crop out along the present‐day eastern Salento sea cliff, and form isolated fan‐shaped bodies, up to 1 km ...

Morphological grounds for the obligate aerial respiration of an aquatic snail: functional and evolutionary perspectives. [PDF]
The freshwater caenogastropod family Ampullariidae is emerging as a model for a variety of studies, among them, the evolution of terrestriality. A common character of the family is that all its members bear a lung while retaining the ancestral gill. This
