the facial integument of centrosaurine ceratopsids: morphological and histological correlates of novel skin structures. | the horned dinosaur pachyhinosaurus possesses rugose bony bosses across the skull roof in lieu of the projecting bony horn cores seen in most ceratopsians. this elaboration of typical ceratopsian ornaments provides an opportunity to test hypotheses of ceratopsian facial skin morphology and function. we analyze bone morphology and histology associated with several classes of skin features in extant amniotes using a classification tree analysis. we isolate key osteological and histological correla ... | 2009 | 19711467 |
limited directed seed dispersal in the canopy as one of the determinants of the low hemi-epiphytic figs' recruitments in bornean rainforests. | ficus species are keystone plants in tropical rainforests, and hemi-epiphytic figs play a notably important role in forest ecosystems. because hemi-epiphytic figs have strict germination requirements, germination and establishment stages regulate their populations. despite the ecological importance of hemi-epiphytic figs in the rainforests, seed dispersal systems by fig-eating animals under natural conditions remain unknown because of the difficulty in tracing the destiny of dispersed seeds in t ... | 2019 | 31194749 |
