Kaolinite induces rapid authigenic mineralisation in unburied shrimps.

Fossils preserving soft tissues and lightly biomineralized structures are essential for the reconstruction of past ecosystems and their evolution. Understanding fossilization processes, including decay and mineralisation, is crucial for accurately interpreting ancient morphologies. Here we investigate the decay of marine and freshwater shrimps deposited on the surface of three different clay beds.

Phylogenetics and systematics of the subfamilies Cheirurinae and Deiphoninae (Trilobita).

Unlabelled: Cheiruridae is one of the most diverse families of trilobites known from the Ordovician with 453 species assigned. Within Cheiruridae eight subfamilies (Acanthoparyphinae, Cheirurinae, "Cyrtometopinae", Deiphoninae, Eccoptochilinae, Heliomerinae, Pilekiinae, and Sphaerexochinae) have historically been recognised. Insights about the evolution of the family and the relationships within and between subfamilies have been published.

Long-read genome sequencing resolves complex genomic rearrangements in rare genetic syndromes.

Long-read sequencing can often overcome the deficiencies in routine microarray or short-read technologies in detecting complex genomic rearrangements. Here we used Pacific Biosciences circular consensus sequencing to resolve complex rearrangements in two patients with rare genetic anomalies. Copy number variants (CNVs) identified by clinical microarray -chr8p deletion and chr8q duplication in patient 1, and interstitial deletions of chr18q in patient 2-were suggestive of underlying rearrangements.

Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Clade 2.3.2.1a in Traveler Returning to Australia from India, 2024.

We report highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N1) virus clade 2.3.2.

Understanding Adult's Experiences and Perceptions of How to Maintain Physical Activity: A Systematic Review and Qualitative Synthesis.

Background: Many adults do not meet physical activity recommendations for optimal health, and this is often because people find it difficult to maintain physical activity in the long term. This study focuses on identifying and synthesising factors that may influence the maintenance of physical activity in adults with and without known health conditions.

Method: A systematic review and qualitative synthesis using thematic analysis was conducted.
