"During the 70-million-year span of the Cryogenian Snowball Earth glaciations, low ocean temperatures beneath global sea ice increased water viscosity up to fourfold. In the absence of adaptation, unicellular organisms living in this viscous environment were limited in their ability to move and acq...
"Tridentinosaurus antiquus represents one of the oldest fossil reptiles and one of the very few skeletal specimens with evidence of soft tissue preservation from the Cisuralian (Early Permian) of the Italian Alps. The preservation and appearance of the fossil have puzzled palaeontologists for decad...
"The Late Triassic macroplant fossil collections from Udine Province are unique but have only been partially studied so far. Here we provide an overview of the plant fossil assemblages from the Triassic of the Udine Province, stored at the Museo Friulano di Storia Naturale in Udine and at the Museo...

"Sport and physical activity are seen as important drivers for social transformation and enablers of sustainable development, i.e., as important means of achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (WHO, 2018; United Nations, 2015). This is often concretized in relation to the special con...
Insights from the authors of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report on knowledge gaps and priorities for research
"As climate change impacts intensify globally in both frequency and magnitude, and with scientific consensus on what is yet to come if theworld fails to act, the imperative to step up our co...
"The late Kungurian succession of Gorl in the Southern Alps yielded more than 200 plant fossils. The remains are very fragmented but occasionally exceptionally well-preserved with cuticle. The morphological and cuticular analyses confirm the presence of some seed ferns (Lodevia, Peltaspermum, Sphen...
"During the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic, the area around Bristol and South Wales was an archipelago of islands occupied by diverse small-sized tetrapods. The largest of these palaeo-islands was Mendip Island, now forming the Mendip Hills, and the location of some famous fossiliferous sites. Th...
"The increasing popularity of digital media among protected area visitors poses challenges to protected area management. It alters the way visitors move and behave in the area, potentially increasing disturbance of nature, and it might also affect their expectation prior to the visit and their refl...
"The increasing similarity of plant species composition among distinct areas is leading to the homogenization of ecosystems globally. Human actions such as ecosystem modification, the introduction of non-native plant species and the extinction or extirpation of endemic and native plant species are ...
