    • Temporal and phylogenetic evolution of the sauropod dinosaur body plan 

      Bates, Karl T.; Mannion, Philip D.; Falkingham, Peter L. (2016)
      The colossal size and body plan of sauropod dinosaurs are unparalleled in terrestrial vertebrates. However, to date, there have been only limited attempts to examine temporal and phylogenetic patterns in the sauropod ...
    • Temporal modelling of ballast water discharge and ship-mediated invasion risk to Australia 

      Cope, Robert C.; Prowse, Thomas A. A.; Ross, Joshua V. (2015)
      Biological invasions have the potential to cause extensive ecological and economic damage. Maritime trade facilitates biological invasions by transferring species in ballast water, and on ships’ hulls. With volumes of ...

    • Theoretical constraints on the precision and age range of rehydroxylation dating 

      Hare, V. J. (2015)
      Accurate and precise dating methods are of central importance to archaeology, palaeontology and earth science. This paper investigates the expected precision and age range of rehydroxylation dating, a recently proposed ...
    • Thermodynamics and kinetics of the FoF1-ATPase 

      Chapman, Brian; Loiselle, Denis (2016)
      We use the results of recent publications as vehicles with which to discuss the thermodynamics of the proton-driven mitochondrial FoF1-ATP synthase, focusing particularly on the possibility that there may be dissociation ...

      Chapter 1: The way of the program. Chapter 2: Variables, expressions and statements. Chapter 3: Functions. Chapter 4: Case study: interface design. Chapter 5: Conditionals and recursion. Chapter 6: Fruitful functions. ...
    • Tiarajudens eccentricus and Anomocephalus africanus, two bizarre anomodonts (Synapsida, Therapsida) with dental occlusion from the Permian of Gondwana 

      Cisneros, Juan Carlos (The Royal Society, 2015)
      Anomodontia was a highly successful tetrapod clade during the Permian and the Triassic. New morphological information regarding two bizarre basal anomodonts is provided and their palaeoecological significance is explored. ...
    • Tight knit under stress 

      Kolay, Swetashree; Annagiri, Sumana (2015)
      The movement of colonies from one nest to another is a frequent event in the lives of many social insects and is important for their survival and propagation. This goal-oriented task is accomplished by means of tandem ...
    • Timing of CD8 T cell effector responses in viral infections 

      Stipp, Shaun R.; Iniguez, Abdon; Wan, Frederic (2016)
      CD8 T cell or cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses are an important branch of the immune system in the fight against viral infections. The dynamics of anti-viral CTL responses have been characterized in some detail, both ...
    • To boldly climb: behavioural and cognitive differences in migrating European glass eels 

      Podgorniak, T. (2016)
      European eel (Anguilla anguilla) is a catadromous fish species that received substantial attention as its population has markedly declined in the last three decades. The possible causes of this decline include habitat ...
    • To the non-local theory of cold nuclear fusion 

      Alexeev, Boris V. (The Royal Society, 2014)
      In this paper, we revisit the cold fusion (CF) phenomenon using the generalized Bolzmann kinetics theory which can represent the non-local physics of this CF phenomenon. This approach can identify the conditions when the ...
    • To what extent do human-altered landscapes retain population connectivity? 

      Ishiyama, N.; Sueyoshi, M.; Nakamura, F. (2015)
      Understanding how human-altered landscapes affect popula-tion connectivity is valuable for conservation planning. Natural connectivity among wetlands, which is maintained by floods, is disappearing owing to farmland ...
    • Tools to tipple 

      Hockings, Kimberley J. (2015)
      African apes and humans share a genetic mutation that enables them to effectively metabolize ethanol. However, voluntary ethanol consumption in this evolutionary radiation is documented only in modern humans. Here, we ...

      Young, Mark T.; Steel, Lorna; Brusatte, Stephen L. (2014)
      Machimosauruswas a large-bodied durophagous/chelonivorous genus of teleosaurid crocodylomorph that lived in shallow marine and brackish ecosystems during the Late Jurassic. Among teleosaurids, Machimosaurusand its sister ...
    • Tracking urban activity growth globally with big location data 

      Daggitt, Matthew L.; Noulas, Anastasios; Shaw, Blake (2016)
      In recent decades, the world has experienced rates of urban growth unparalleled in any other period of history and this growth is shaping the environment in which an increasing proportion of us live. In this paper, we use ...
