Gigantic Land-Tortoises [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1878
MY DEAR SIR,—The collection of fossils from the Sombrero Key, which you kindly placed in my hands for examination, comprises the remains of birds, turtles, and Saurian reptiles. Those of the first, and from the more superficial deposit, appear to belong to existing species of sea-birds now found along the coast, and have undergone no change.

Informed Dictionary‐Guided Monte Carlo Inversion for Robust and Reproducible Multidimensional MRI

open access: yesMagnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 2947-2962, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose To develop a robust and efficient multidimensional MRI (MD‐MRI) data processing framework for accurately estimating joint frequency‐dependent diffusion‐relaxation distributions, while overcoming computational limitations and noise instability inherent to Monte Carlo (MC) inversion.

From species lists to interactions: Network structure, not richness, guides seed dispersal management in human‐modified islands

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.

Are hedgehogs like pigs, or tortoises like toads? : language-specific effects of compound structure on conceptualisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
How far can language-specific structures influence conceptualisation? After a period of time where the discussion of any ‘Whorfian’ effects tended to be considered of little scientific merit, the recent decade has seen a renewed interest in this question.

A Novel Multidisciplinary Approach for Reptile Movement and Behavior Analysis

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, Volume 21, Issue 3, Page 468-484, May 2026.
We present a novel multidisciplinary approach capable of advancing research on reptiles’ behavior. Our approach uses integrated tools and methods for the digitization, reconstruction, and visualization of reptiles and their behavior. We (i) record movement through tri‐axial accelerometers, video cameras, and motion capture systems; (ii) ground‐truth ...

COPIS: A robust and versatile robotic imaging system for the 3D digitization of natural history specimens with photogrammetry

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1617-1627, May 2026.
Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly turning to 3D models to use in scientific research. Natural history museums are one of the primary sources for specimens used as 3D models, and efforts are underway to digitize their collections using methods like photogrammetry.

Raising Giant Tortoises [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Captive breeding and rearing giant tortoises still represents a challenge and little scientific evidence is available on the requirements of juvenile and adult giant tortoises. Zoo veterinarians must know that developmental diseases are the main risk in the raising process.
