Developmental principles: fact or fiction. [PDF]
While still at school, most of us are deeply impressed by the underlying principles that so beautifully explain why the chemical elements are ordered as they are in the periodic table, and may wonder, with the theoretician Brian Goodwin, “whether there might be equally powerful principles that account for the awe-inspiring diversity of body forms in ...

Abstract Fine‐grained, siliciclastic units of the >1642 ± 3.9 Ma late Palaeoproterozoic Limbunya Group, Birrindudu Basin host rich, well‐preserved organic‐walled microfossil assemblages that include members of total‐group eukaryotes. These assemblages include taxa characteristic of this interval such as Tappania plana and Satka favosa, as well as less ...

Ediacaran–Cambrian bioturbation did not extensively oxygenate sediments in shallow marine ecosystems
Abstract The radiation of bioturbation during the Ediacaran–Cambrian transition has long been hypothesized to have oxygenated sediments, triggering an expansion of the habitable benthic zone and promoting increased infaunal tiering in early Paleozoic benthic communities.

Seaward‐Dipping Reflector Influence on Seafloor Magnetostratigraphy—A Pelotas Basin View
Abstract Previous works used marine magnetic survey data and interpreted magnetic anomalies related to seaward‐dipping reflectors (SDRs) as oceanic crust or SDR age constraints in the South Atlantic Ocean. However, we advise against using SDR‐related magnetic anomalies to constrain ages because of the mostly low‐dipping geometry causing the overlapping

Resumen Aunque se han hecho avances en el desarrollo y aplicación a gran escala de intervenciones eficaces contra la obesidad infantil, los retos siguen siendo importantes. Nuestro objetivo era comprender las causas del éxito de Estados Unidos y los países latinoamericanos en la implementación de políticas y programas (PYP) contra la obesidad e ...

The continuing debate on deep molluscan phylogeny: evidence for Serialia (Mollusca, Monoplacophora + Polyplacophora). [PDF]
Molluscs are a diverse animal phylum with a formidable fossil record. Although there is little doubt about the monophyly of the eight extant classes, relationships between these groups are controversial. We analysed a comprehensive multilocus molecular data set for molluscs, the first to include multiple species from all classes, including five ...

The ‘classic stromatolite’ Cryptozoön is a keratose sponge‐microbial consortium
Abstract Animal evolution transformed microbial mat development. Canonically inferred negative effects include grazing, disturbance and competition for space. In contrast, ancient examples of cooperation between microbial mats and invertebrates have rarely been reported.

The astronomical pulse of global extinction events. [PDF]
The linkage between astronomical cycles and the periodicity of mass extinctions is reviewed and discussed. In particular, the apparent 26 million year cycle of global extinctions may be related to the motion of the solar system around the galaxy, especially perpendicular to the galactic plane.

THE NEPSKY-1 IMPACT CRATER AND ITS FILL DEPOSITS ON THE BASEMENT ROOF OF THE SIBERIAN PLATFORM
In the Earth studies, discoveries and investigations of impact craters buried beneath thick sediments are sporadic so far and may still remain inefficient, unless geophysical surveys of the areas of interest are initiated. Such studies can provide useful

Background. Clarification of the structure of sedimentary formations located on the Siberian Platform by means of lithological and petrographic core studies has a theoretical and practical significance for the creation of geological models for oil and ...
