X-ray computer tomography (CT) is fast becoming an accepted tool within the materials
science community for the acquisition of 3D images. Here the authors review the current …

The interrelationships between major living vertebrate, and even chordate, groups are now
reasonably well resolved thanks to a large amount of generally congruent data derived from …

We present the PyHST2 code which is in service at ESRF for phase-contrast and absorption
tomography. This code has been engineered to sustain the high data flow typical of the 3rd …

There is growing interest in using advanced imaging techniques to describe the complex
pore-space of natural rocks at resolutions that allow for quantitative assessment of the flow …

Vertebrate Skeletal Histology and Paleohistology summarizes decades of research into the
biology and biological meaning of hard tissues, in both living and extinct vertebrates. In …

Abstract The Cretaceous–Palaeogene mass extinction around 66 million years ago was
triggered by the Chicxulub asteroid impact on the present-day Yucatán Peninsula 1, 2. This …

Human brains are three times larger, are organized differently, and mature for a longer
period of time than those of our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees. Together, these …

Teleost fishes comprise one-half of all vertebrate species and possess a duplicated
genome. This whole-genome duplication (WGD) occurred on the teleost stem lineage in an …

The origin and early diversification of jawed vertebrates involved major changes to skeletal
and soft anatomy. Skeletal transformations can be examined directly by studying fossil stem …

The Triassic was a crucial period for the early evolution and diversification of insects,
including Coleoptera 1–3—the most diverse order of organisms on Earth. The study of …
