An enlarged sternum with a prominent keel is a central feature of the flight apparatus of modern birds. However, sterna of near-bird dinosaurs (Pennaraptora) and early avialans are either substantially different from those of living birds o...

Radiogenic strontium isotopes (87Sr/86Sr) and the alkaline earth ratios (AERs) Sr/Ca and Ba/Ca in fossil dental enamel can inform the habitat, residence and life histories of early hominins recovered from the Pleistocene cradle-of-humankind...
Two decades of improved wetland carbon sequestration in northern mid-to-high latitudes are offset by tropical and southern declines [0.03%]
中高纬度湿地二十年的碳汇提升被热带和南半球的下降所抵消

Junjie Li et al.
Terrestrial carbon (C) sink has long been recognized as trending upwards, yet its recent slowdown raises concerns about accelerating climate change. Variations in wetland C sequestration are hypothesized to play a key role in this shift. He...
Tropical biodiversity loss from land-use change is severely underestimated by local-scale assessments [0.03%]
局部尺度评估严重低估了土地利用变化引起的热带生物多样性损失

Jacob B Socolar et al.
Human impacts on nature span vast spatial scales that transcend abiotic gradients and biogeographic barriers, yet estimates of biodiversity loss from land-use change overwhelmingly derive from local-scale studies. Using a field dataset of 9...
Dental microwear texture analysis reveals behavioural, ecological and habitat signals in Late Jurassic sauropod dinosaur faunas [0.03%]

Daniela E Winkler et al.
Most faunas from the Mesozoic era were dominated by sauropod dinosaurs, the largest terrestrial animals to ever exist. These megaherbivores were remarkably diverse and widely distributed. Here we study three Late Jurassic faunas from the US...

Bats are the only mammals capable of self-powered flight, an evolutionary innovation based on the transformation of forelimbs into wings. The bat wing is characterized by an extreme elongation of the second to fifth digits with a wing membr...
