The article represents evolutionary trends of the English language from the diachronic perspective. Namely, it concerns interaction of sociolinguistic factors in historical circumstances. The study is of a review nature....

Many of Earth's most biodiverse and biogeochemically active aquatic ecosystems—including groundwater karst systems, turbid estuaries and the deep ocean—are perpetually dark and hydraulically complex, making long-term...

The family Eupterotidae (Lepidoptera) exhibits pronounced sexual dimorphism, particularly in genital structures, which are critical for species identification and understanding evolutionary relationships. This study inve...

The Middle Pleistocene hominin fossil record is taxonomically diverse, with Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalesis, Homo naledi, and Homo erectus, all existing at various times during this period. These species are generally...

In poorly known groups for which data are insufficient to develop biologically plausible model-based approaches to phylogeographical analyses, a ‘first hypotheses’ protocol is suggested as offering the best way to ge...

Background: The rapid expansion of digital platforms has given rise to new linguistic practices, including algospeak, a creative strategy used by users to circumvent algorithmic moderation. Purpose: This study examine...

Carex subgenus Psyllophorae is an engaging study group due to its early diversification compared to most Carex lineages, and its remarkable disjunct distribution in four continents corresponding to three independent sect...

Niche construction theory has increasingly received attention in paleoanthropology as a new focus for considering the evolutionary consequences of hominin tool-use and cultural adaptation starting in the Pleistocene. Mod...

Abstract The bony palate of palaeognaths was long thought to retain the plesiomorphic condition for crown birds, but recent fossil evidence suggests that aspects of palaeognath palate morphology are derived from a neogna...

With the discoveries of new hominin fossils from historically well-studied as well as poorly sampled regions, and thanks to great advances in paleogenetic studies, Asian paleoanthropology has now entered a new phase of r...

Accurately modeling the solar magnetic field is important for understanding long-term solar activity and space weather, but it is challenging due to limited observations, especially near the Sun’s poles. The surface fl...

Caviidae is a diverse group of caviomorph rodents that is broadly distributed in South America and is divided into three highly divergent extant lineages: Caviinae (cavies), Dolichotinae (maras), and Hydrochoerinae (capy...

To investigate the influence of cracks and gaps on the reaction evolution characteristics of aluminum-containing DNAN-based explosives after the formation of mechanical induced hotspots, explosive charge samples with dif...

The extended evolutionary synthesis (EES) emphasizes integrative approaches to understanding distributed adaptability, incorporating development and intergenerational effects, inclusive inheritance and niche construction...

Background - Plants in over one hundred families in habitats worldwide bear extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). EFNs display a remarkable diversity of evolutionary origins, as well as diverse morphology and location on the pla...

In this paper we present the results of the phylogenetic analysis of projectile points dating from the Middle-Late and final Late Holocene recovered from different sites along the coast of San Matías Gulf (Río Negro pr...

Deciphering the taxonomic and evolutionary relationships among hominin fossils of the Chibanian (ca. 774–129 ka) is challenging. This difficulty stems from biological factors such as mosaic patterns of morphological ch...

The genus Homo has a moderately high degree of morphological diversity, with about fifteen species proposed. It is debatable whether there could have been several species of Homo coexisting and sharing similar ecological...

Species identification in fossils often implicitly makes use of geographic and temporal gaps in the record to help bolster arguments distinguishing one species from another.  As these gaps start to be filled, paleontolo...

Two species of the early ape Ekembo are typically recognized in the abundant fossil collections from Rusinga and Mfangano Islands: Ekembo heseloni and Ekembo nyanzae. Widespread perception that these samples represent an...

We present an overview of the Middle Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral Field Spectroscopy (MAGPI) survey, a Large Program on the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. MAGPI is designed to study the physi...

Abstract Ichthyurus bourgeoisi Gestro is a representative species of the tribe Ichthyurini within the beetle family Cantharidae. This tribe is particularly noteworthy because of its brachelytrous characteristics. However...

Abstract Two-dimensional antimony is a promising candidate for various emerging technological applications. The ability of antimony thin films to undergo crystalline–amorphous phase transitions under laser irradiation ...

Abstract Reactive lithium metal renders it prone to corrosion, which severely limits calendar life and practicality in energy storage. Despite its importance, corrosion-induced degradation remains largely qualitative and...
