Abstract: Smoke fog or other light-interference environments have intrinsic obstruction for visual recognition techniques to explore objects and surroundings. Alternatively, tactile perceptions, rather than visual observations, are commonly used by burrowing or deep-sea animals to communicate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1130/g52071.1
Abstract: Parasites are ubiquitous in extant ecosystems but rarely preserved in the geological record, especially parasitic worms (helminths). One such group is Cestoda (tapeworms), a specialized endoparasitic group of platyhelminths (flatworms). They have a complex lifecycle… read more here.
