Experimental methods for wind tunnel studies of seed dispersal by wind
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract The complexity and variability of natural environments make quantitative studies of seed wind dispersal challenging. Wind tunnel experiments offer a controlled alternative to investigate the mechanisms of seed wind dispersal. This review focuses on wind tunnels and the associated technologies used for studying seed wind dispersal, including ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

On the occurrence of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types at Mabura Hill, Guyana [PDF]
, 1990 A floristic and ecological study of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types around Mabura Hill, Guyana, South America, yielded 170 species: 52 mosses, 82 liverworts and 36 macrolichens. Lejeuneaceae account for about 30% of the

Archaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper reports on the excavation of a cache of stone artefacts, buried on the bank of a waterhole or ‘billabong’ in central western Queensland. This is an extremely rare find, and yet it is the second such site to be reported within less than a 10 km radius.
