Experimental Snowball Earth Viscosity
“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 acquire nutrients. We experimentally test the hypothesis that multicellularity evolved in order […]

Forged soft tissues revealed
“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 decades and its taphonomy and phylogenetic position have remained unresolved. We reanalysed […]

Triassic macrofloras of the Udine Province (Eastern Southern Alps)
“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 Geologico della Carnia (Udine Province, […]

Sustainable development in sport and physical activity
“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 contribution of sport and physical activity to health (SDG 3), education (SDG 4), equal opportunities (SDG 5, 10), […]“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).

The Next Frontier for Climate Change Science
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 collective response has never been more […]
