Bats (Chiroptera) are one of the most successful extant mammalian orders, uniquely
capable of powered flight and laryngeal echolocation. The timing and evidence for evolution …

Non‐avian theropods were a highly successful clade of bipedal, predominantly carnivorous,
dinosaurs. Their diversity and macroevolutionary patterns have been the subject of many …

Background Paleoanthropological research focus still devotes most resources to areas
generally known to be fossil rich instead of a strategy that first maps and identifies possible …

Despite its potential to unravel past behaviors, statistical testing of spatial patterns within
early hominin-bearing fossil assemblages has generally been overlooked. For instance …

The separation of discrete fossiliferous levels within an archaeological or paleontological
site with no clear stratigraphic horizons has historically been carried out using qualitative …

Palaeontological field surveys in remote regions are a challenge, because of uncertainty in
finding new specimens, high transportation costs, risks for the crew and a long time …

Here we describe a proof‐of‐concept autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system
that utilizes the fluorescence characteristics unique to different materials to scan and acquire …

The geological structure affects the occurrence of coalbed methane (CBM), and identifying
its structural characteristic boundaries is significant for CBM development. Based on the 3# …

Paleontological fieldwork is often a time-consuming process and resource intensive. With
unexplored and remote areas, the satellite images, geology, and topography of an area are …

Hard work and chance are nearly always among the deciding factors in finding new,
important, and productive paleontological localities. Fossil locality predictive models have …
