    Freshwater monitoring by nanopore sequencing

    Lara Urban, Andre Holzer ... Maximilian R Stammnitz
    From now on, nanopore metagenomics can be used to monitor aquatic environments with high spatiotemporal resolution, by use of a benchmarked, standardised and cost-effective workflow.

    Neurovascular anatomy of dwarf dinosaur implies precociality in sauropods

    Marco Schade, Nils Knötschke ... Sebastian Stumpf
    Computed tomography data reveal large and adult-looking inner ears in very young individuals of the long-necked dinosaur Europasaurus holgeri suggesting precociality in this dwarfed island dweller from the Late Jurassic of Germany.

    Phylogenetic variation in cortical layer II immature neuron reservoir of mammals

    Chiara La Rosa, Francesca Cavallo ... Luca Bonfanti
    The higher amount of cortical immature neurons in brains with expanded neocortices may represent a reservoir of young cells for mammals with reduced neurogenesis.

    Novel neuroanatomical integration and scaling define avian brain shape evolution and development

    Akinobu Watanabe, Amy M Balanoff ... Mark A Norell
    More integrated brains in crown birds evolved through a mosaic assembly of new evolutionary and developmental dynamics across neuroanatomical regions that occurred along the dinosaur-bird transition.

    Activation by cleavage of the epithelial Na+ channel α and γ subunits independently coevolved with the vertebrate terrestrial migration

    Xue-Ping Wang, Deidra M Balchak ... Ossama B Kashlan
    Proteolytic activation of a sodium-permeable channel that aids in gas exchange and fluid homeostasis likely evolved at the water to land transition in vertebrates.
  1. Meta-Research: Investigating disagreement in the scientific literature

    Wout S Lamers, Kevin Boyack ... Dakota Murray
    An approach based on cue phrases can be used to identify instances of disagreement in scientific articles and compare the level of disagreement in various disciplines.

    Early evolution of beetles regulated by the end-Permian deforestation

    Xianye Zhao, Yilun Yu ... Bo Wang
    Permian xylophagous beetles suffered a severe extinction during the end-Permian mass extinction largely due to the collapse of forest ecosystems.

    Lung evolution in vertebrates and the water-to-land transition

    Camila Cupello, Tatsuya Hirasawa ... Paulo M Brito
    The primitive state of vertebrate lungs is unpaired, evolving to be truly paired in the lineage towards the tetrapods, increasing the pulmonary efficiency during the water-to-land transition.

    Spinosaurus is not an aquatic dinosaur

    Paul C Sereno, Nathan Myhrvold ... Lauren L Conroy
    A digital flesh model of the sail-backed dinosaur Spinosaurus was tested and performed very poorly in water, favoring the view of this dinosaur as a two-legged, wading ambush predator of large fish in shallow waterways and not an aquatic dinosaur.
