TL;DR: P prospects for research on islands are highlighted to improve understanding of the ecology and evolution of communities in general and how attributes of islands combine to provide unusual research opportunities, the implications of which stretch far beyond islands.

TL;DR: A swarm of vertical gravel-filled dykes up to 6 m high and several decimetres wide, cut through an over-consolidated till at Killiney Bay as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This paper used authentication tests developed for ancient DNA to evaluate claims by Asara et al. of collagen peptide sequences recovered from mastodon and Tyrannosaurus rex fossils, and found that although the mastodon samples pass these tests, absence of amino acid composition data, lack of evidence for peptide deamidation, and association of alpha1(I) collagen sequences with amphibians rather than birds suggest that T. rex does not.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of four successive thin-sections from a ceramic clay that was subjected to uniaxial compression was analyzed, and the Coulomb-plastic response to imposed shear was found to behave as Coulomb materials at least during the final stages of the deformation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a classification of deformation styles based on the geometry of structures rather than inferred environment of formation is proposed, which can be used to reconstruct palaeostress fields and to infer physical properties of sediments when they deformed.
