This study prepared a series of NH2-MIL-125(Ti) samples (denoted as NMT-x%) by tuning the methanol fraction (20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) in a mixed methanol/N,N-dimethylformamide (MeOH/DMF) solvent system, and investigated t...

Abstract Morphological variation in Mouriri guianensis is described and analyzed throughout its range in Brazil and adjacent regions. Features that vary are ovary size, locule and ovule number, shape and smoothness of th...

Gastropoda, with approximately 80,000 living species, is the largest class of Mollusca. Among gastropods, apple snails (family Ampullariidae) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical freshwater ecosystems and...

Background. The increase in technogenic electromagnetic load leaves open the question of its impact on living cells, which do not have a specific evolutionary mechanism for responding to such an environmental factor. Cur...

Abstract Gymnodiptychus pachycheilus, a specialized schizothoracinae fish, exhibits remarkable morphological regression, such as near-complete scale loss, making it an important model for understanding the genomic basis ...

The Iwo Eleru skeleton is the only Pleistocene human fossil currently known from Western Africa. Previously, we showed morphological affinities of the Iwo Eleru cranial remains with Pleistocene archaic African specimens,...

Octodontoidea is the most species-rich cladeamong hystricomorph rodents. Based on a combined parsimonyanalysis of morphological and molecular data of extinctand extant species, we analyze the history of SouthAmerican oct...

The evolution and ecomorphology of rodent craniomandibular apparatus have been extensively studied at a broad spatial scale. However, the question of how phenotypes and developmental instability interact with ecological ...

The fragmentary early Homo fossil record represents a temporally expansive and complex lineage that is morphologically and geographically diverse. This large amount of variation, which also captures the transition period...

In a recent study we found that crania from South Amerindian populations on each side of the Andes differ significantly in terms of craniofacial shape. Western populations formed one morphological group, distributed cont...

Las relaciones de parentesco entre los cánidos recientes han sido conflictivas. Entre los problemas más notables se tienen la monofilia del clado de los lobos por un lado y la de los cánidos suramericanos por el otro,...

The advance of the agricultural frontier and deforestation are leading to the loss of native forests in the Monte desert (Argentina). Recently, revegetation with native material has emerged as an option to reverse landsc...

Cloud morphological transitions strongly influence radiative effects and the regional radiation budget. Marine cold-air outbreaks (MCAOs) over the northwestern Atlantic feature such transitions. Characterizing these tran...

Abstract A promising approach for constructing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts with superior activity is realized through the surface grafting of wide-band-gap semiconductors with earth-abundant elements. Consequ...

The larvae of the Australian endemic species Megaporus gardnerii (Clark, 1862) and M. hamatus (Clark, 1862) are described and illustrated for the first time, with detailed morphometric and chaetotaxic analyses of the cep...

This paper is a contribution to the current knowledge of taxonomy, ecology and distribution of South American Cortinarius (Pers.) Gray. Cortinarius is among the most widely distributed and species-rich basidiomycete gene...

Despite the impressive strides of large language models (LLMs) in text summarization, their effectiveness still hinges on well-crafted prompts, a process that remains labor-intensive, subjective, and difficult to scale. ...

Tidal flats generally exhibit ponds of diverse size, shape, orientation and origin. Studying the genesis, evolution, stability and erosive mechanisms of these geographic features is critical to understand the dynamics of...

Reconstructing hominin evolution is dependent on our capacity to securely and accurately allocate fossil hominin material to an appropriate taxon. While taxonomic assignments are traditionally based on craniodental morph...

In this work, morphological differences over the thickness of modified vinyl-ester (VE) samples are studied. A thermodynamic analysis based in the Flory-Rehner theory is proposed to evaluate the spinodal decomposition te...

Cavernicolous species that exhibit a high degree of troglomorphism often provide some of the most intriguing evolutionary riddles. For such taxa, the correct systematic arrangement is difficult to determine and becomes p...

A new species of the genus Plagiopholis is described based on a single specimen collected from Wenshan Prefecture, southeastern Yunnan Province, China. Compared with other species of the genus, it has a unique combinatio...

El problema del poblamiento del continente americano y específicamente de América del Sur ha tenido una amplia relevancia tanto como objeto de estudio para la arqueología como en la antropología biológica. Desde amb...

In this study we explore the ecomorphological patterns of extinct tremarctine bears in South America during the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). These patterns are used to derive palaeoautoecological inferences ...
