description: A sublimating vicinal crystal surface can undergo a step bunching instability when the attachment-detachment kinetics is asymmetric, in the sense of a normal Ehrlich-Schwoebel effect. Here we investigate this instability in a model that takes into account the subtle interplay between sublimation and step-step interactions, which breaks the volume-conserving character of the dynamics assumed in previous work. On the basis of a systematically derived continuum equation for the surface profile, we argue that the non-conservative terms pose a limitation on the size of emerging step bunches. This conclusion is supported by extensive simulations of the discrete step dynamics, which show breakup of large bunches into smaller ones as well as arrested coarsening and periodic oscillations between states with different numbers of bunches.

description: Papua New Guinea’s new Public Services (Management) Act 2014 (PSMA) is one of several important administrative and legislative reforms implemented by the O’Neill/Dion Government in accordance with the Alotau Accord of 2012. Key among the changes is formal consultation with members of parliament (MPs) in relation to the appointment of provincial and district administrators, which in effect gives MPs a formal role in hiring and firing decisions at the subnational level. Seemingly, this is already having a detrimental impact on the gender profile of the public sector, with four women of the five most senior women in the Simbu provincial administration already replaced at the recommendation of MPs in the province (Anna Naur pers. comm. March 2015).1 Drawing on previously unpublished data, this In Brief offers an analysis of the gender profile of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) public sector as at June 2014, before the implementation of the new PSMA. The analysis reveals that while women are well represented in central government agencies, they are severely underrepresented in senior positions at the subnational level where services are delivered.

description:
Tsunamis generated by submarine or coastal landslides are a growing area of scientific interest. Events like the 2018 tsunami in Palu, Indonesia, have highlighted their destructive potential. Landslides can generate extremely high tsunami waves, but typically have a limited propagation range beyond 100 km. Areas close to the landslide are most affected. Unfortunately, early warning systems are not effective for this type of tsunami due to the short warning time interval between wave initiation and coastal impact.

This study aims to analyze the coastal and submarine landslide susceptibility for coastal areas. Limited data availability, including high-resolution bathymetric data and historical landslide tsunami catalogs, poses a major challenge. A heuristic model is used, incorporating historical case studies to calibrate and weight the parameters. Geologic, morphologic, and geometric parameters of coastal areas are considered.

First results show a high correlation of landslides generated during the Palu earthquake with the size of catchment areas of rivers entering the ocean. This parameter is strongly related with the sediment load that is transported into the ocean. High sedimentation rates might lead to the formation of thick, unconsolidated sediment layers., which are susceptible to landslides. This correlation will be further analyzed.

The results of this susceptibility mapping can help raise the awareness of the risks associated with landslide tsunamis. Even minor earthquakes, not expected to trigger tsunamis, could induce submarine or nearshore landslides and generate a tsunami in vulnerable areas. Consequently, adapting tsunami evacuation strategies to account for landslide-induced tsunamis may be required in these areas.

description: We experimentally study the susceptibility to symmetry breaking of a closed turbulent von Kármán swirling flow from $Re = 150$ to $Re \simeq 10^{6}$. We report a divergence of this susceptibility at an intermediate Reynolds number $Re = Re_χ\simeq 90\,000$ which gives experimental evidence that such a highly space and time fluctuating system can undergo a "phase transition". This transition is furthermore associated with a peak in the amplitude of fluctuations of the instantaneous flow symmetry corresponding to intermittencies between spontaneously symmetry breaking metastable states.

Computational strategies for the discovery of small molecule therapeutics against SARS-CoV-2 virus

description: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) caused a global healthcare crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic. In absence of efficacious antiviral drugs against this new Coronavirus species, scientific and clinical efforts initially focused on identifying repositionable FDA-approved drugs to be rapidly deployed worldwide. As the efforts shifted to identifying novel antiviral drugs specific to SARS-CoV-2, while vaccine development took place, computer-assisted drug discovery (CADD) screening strategies, predominantly through molecular docking, emerged as versatile, fast, and economic means to prioritize novel and promising compounds that could progress swiftly to clinical validation. Alternative to docking, are scoring functions (SFs) inferred from machine learning (ML) models. Such models are trained on protein-ligand interactions and can be used to predict binding affinity of novel molecules against a target of interest. The first chapter of this thesis discusses computational methods used throughout this work focused on CADD enabled identification of novel direct acting antivirals (DAA) for SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. The second chapter reconciliates numerous SARS-CoV-2 repurposing studies while underscoring discrepancies, mapping drug ontologies and highlighting repositionable drugs with the highest agreement among the studies. Importantly, we experimentally validate those candidate drugs – reporting still divergent potency values. We conclude with describing a sustainable route of drug repurposing based on the collective findings. The third chapter, on the other hand, focuses on the shift towards de-novo drug discovery through molecular docking of screening compounds against the main protease (Mpro) enzyme of the SARS-CoV-2. Therein, we utilized five different computational protocols and employed a manifold of hit-diversifying filtering strategies on a record-breaking database of 40 billion molecules. The ultra-large screening resulted in the discovery of two promising noncovalent compounds for translational development. Finally, in the fourth chapter of the thesis, we describe a proof of concept of a new SF alternative to molecular docking consisting of a graph neural network (GNN) model with residual skip connections and attention-based graph pooling. We capitalize on the reported results from the third chapter’s for benchmarking the model’s performance. We report a state-of-the-art performance of the proposed model (Pearson > 0.8 across DAVIS, KIBA, BindingDB and PDBBind databases).

description:
Technology critical elements (TCEs) are widely understudied in aquatic systems. Many unknowns particularly are linked to the mechanistic understanding of TCE transport mechanisms in contrasting river systems. In this work, we aim at characterizing the colloidal vs truly dissolved TCE concentrations in three contrasting rivers in Germany (Rhine, Neckar and Danube) by comparing two filtering meshes (0.45 vs 0.02 µm). The seasonal component of such transport is also investigated based on monthly collections of water samples in 2023. TCEs were analysed via external calibration at the ICP-MS (iCAP series, Thermo®). Results suggest that each river has a different load on TCE concentrations, of which the colloidal transport differs even within the Rare Earth Elements and Yttrium (REEY) list. The seasonal influence is compared to water discharges and temperature ranges. These results provide further understanding of the watershed dynamics and can help identifying relevant processes that determine the unknown aquatic transport and fate of TCEs. This information can be used for developing scenarios for potential risk assessment of anthropogenic discharges from both stable and/or radioactive origin in surface aquatic environments in Germany.

Clarinet

description: Breathing is perhaps the most fundamental aspect of clarinet playing. Its usual function is adapted to sustain an airstream suitable for efficient sound production, while still maintaining the oxygen supply to the body. There are many aspects of tone production which are influenced by breathing: the control of dynamics, the length of phrasing and the attack and articulation of notes in clarinet playing. An understanding of breathing from physiological, practical and abstract points of view can therefore provide knowledge and awareness of the most basic element of creating sound through the clarinet. This study discusses the physiology of respiration and its application to clarinet playing. The role of teaching and different approaches to breathing are examined: and more specific aspects such as circular breathing, are examined: and more specific aspects such as circular breathing, the long-term effects of forced respiration and ways of achieving optimum levels of efficiency in breathing are mentioned. Several medical textbooks are of use to a study of this kind. Within the field of physiology, there is a great deal of information about respiration.

description:
Metadata, i.e. 'data about data', are fundamental for making research data findable, usable and understandable by researchers and all interested parties now and in the future. Moreover, with the advent of new, data-driven technologies and instrumentation leading to constantly increasing data volumes, and scientific research becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, research data has to be inseparably linked to standardized, machine readable and complete metadata in order to foster data reuse and reproducibility of research results, e.g. by provenance metadata. Only by supporting standards and tools for metadata handling, interoperability with national and international research data infrastructures can be ensured.

The mission of the Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC, https://helmholtz-metadaten.de/en) is to facilitate the discovery, access, machine readability, and reuse of research data of the Helmholtz Association. Concepts and services are developed and established, allowing the enrichment of research data with standardized metadata in the various phases of their creation. The aim of HMC is to co-ordinate these services with the national and international scientific community in order to establish widely accepted practices in the handling of research data.

In this presentation we will introduce to the current HMC activities and outcome: working groups, recommendations on specific metadata elements (e.g. different persistent identifiers), and standards for sharing metadata and tools to do so. Both activities, our discussion and jointly agreed recommendations take place on a "Community Platform" website that is currently being developed.

description: We report on muon-spin rotation/relaxation (\muSR), electrical resistivity, magnetization and differential scanning calorimetry measurements performed on a high-quality single crystal of Cs_0.8(FeSe_0.98)_2. Whereas our transport and magnetization data confirm the bulk character of the superconducting state below T_c = 28.5(2)K, the \muSR data indicate that the system is {\it magnetic} below T_N = 478.5(3)K, where a first-order transition occurs. The first-order character of the magnetic transition is confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry data. Taken all together, these data indicate in Cs_0.8(FeSe_0.98)_2 a microscopic coexistence between the superconducting phase and a strong magnetic phase. The observed ratio between T_N and T_c is the highest one reported to date for a magnetic superconductor.

description:
Mongolia is a sparsely populated, resource-rich country with a wide range of different mineral deposits and mining activities in size and quality of operation, distributed over a vast area of the territory. The wealth of mineral resources already being mined or developed for future exploitation, provide the country with a huge opportunity for its economic progress but also present challenges for a sustainable and effective state management of the mining sector.

Since the political change in Germany and Mongolia in the 1990s, the BGR (Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources) has carried out various projects within the framework of the German-Mongolian development cooperation, together with different Mongolian government institutions responsible for the mineral resources sector. To support a transparent and efficient governance of a responsible and sustainable mining sector, the BGR-projects focused mainly on capacity development and elaboration of professional information and data at the geology and mining authorities. In recent years, the focus has been increasingly on supporting digital transformation processes in connection with more efficient mining inspection and supervision works, digital mining cadastre, the digital management of geological maps, as well as enhancing the digital data exchange between institutions. These digital instruments support a more transparent and efficient state management of the mining sector and, during the Covid-pandemic, enabled the continuation of administrative processes (licensing, permits, reporting). Yet, the continuous need for further refinement and maintenance of these digital systems presents a challenge for human and financial capacities of state authorities in developing countries

title: Magmatic to hydrothermal REE mineralization in Mesoproterozoic ankerite carbonatite, Swartbooisdrift, NW Namibia

description:
Strong local REE enrichment is observed in Mesoproterozoic ankerite carbonatite exposed at Swartbooisdrif, NW Namibia (Drüppel et al., 2005). The carbonatite dykes transect older anorthosites of the Kunene Complex and are themselves surrounded by sodalite-rich Na-metasomatic aureoles. The magmatic assemblage of ankerite, magnetite, pyrochlore, burbankite, and apatite indicates that the carbonatite magma was rich in Fe, Nb, P, Na, Sr, and LREE. Primary REE hosts are euhedral burbankite, pyrochlore, and apatite, which can be enriched in irregular layers formed during flow-banding.

Along cracks burbankite is altered to secondary burbankite and carbocernaite. With progressive alteration, burbankite and carbocernaite were partially to completely replaced by complex intergrowths of fluorcarbonates (mainly bastnaesite, hydroxylbastnaesite, parisite and synchysite), ancylite, monazite, barite, strontianite, celestine, calcite, fluorapatite, and/or hematite. Similar mineral assemblages also occur as discrete REE-rich pods and schlieren, suggesting fluid-related remobilization of REE and P. These zones are mainly restricted to the ankerite carbonatite, indicating locally restricted REE mobility.

The composition of early metasomatic and later hydrothermal fluids was determined by microthermometry and synchrotron-micro-XRF analysis of primary fluid inclusions in sodalite and secondary fluid inclusions in ankerite. Early high-temperature (> 550°C) sodalite-forming fluids were highly saline alkaline brines (19-30 wt% NaCl eq.) containing minor Sr, Ba, LREE, Nb, S, K, and Fe. Secondary fluid inclusions in ankerite, entrapped at lower temperatures of c. 400-500°C, are NaCl-poor (4-6 wt% NaCl eq.) and strongly enriched in Sr and REE. These fluids are presumably related to the late REE remobilization.

description: The Magellanic Clouds are a local laboratory for understanding the evolution and properties of dwarf irregular galaxies. To reveal the extended structure and interaction history of the Magellanic Clouds we have undertaken a large-scale photometric and spectroscopic study of their stellar periphery (the MAgellanic Periphery Survey, MAPS). We present first MAPS results for the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC): Washington M, T2 + DDO51 photometry reveals metal-poor red giant branch stars in the SMC that extend to large radii (~11 kpc), are distributed nearly azimuthally symmetrically (ellipticity=0.1), and are well-fitted by an exponential profile (out to R~7.5 deg). An ~6 Gyr old, [Fe/H] -1.3 main-sequence turnoff is also evident to at least R=7.3 deg, and as far as 8.4 deg in some directions. We find evidence for a "break" population beyond ~8 radial scalelengths having a very shallow radial density profile that could be either a bound stellar halo or a population of extratidal stars. The distribution of the intermediate stellar component (3

description:
The geometry of carbonate systems reflects the interaction of several factors. Although efforts have been made at investigating the controls on biogenic carbonate system evolution, the impact of the interaction of different carbonate producing biotas is still not fully understood. In this study, we developed a 4D stratigraphic forward models (SFM) of the Miocene Llucmajor platform coupled with sensitivity analysis to examine the effect on platform geometry of changes of the dominant biotic production in the oligophotic and euphotic zones. Our results indicate that the geometry of the platform is impacted by a complex interaction between carbonate production rates, variations in bathymetry, and changes in accommodation. Progradation in the platform model is mainly controlled by oligophotic production of rhodalgal sediments during the lowstands. This study also shows that platform geometry and internal architecture is significantly impacted by the interaction of the predominant carbonate producing biotas. The input parameters for this study are based on well-understood Miocene carbonate biotas with characteristic euphotic, oligophotic and photo-independent carbonate production in which it is essential to explicitly model each carbonate producing class within the simulation run and not averaged with a single carbonate production-depth profile. This distinction is particularly crucial for subsurface exploration studies that rely on stratigraphic forward models, where the overall platform geometry may be approximated through calibration runs and constrained by seismic surveys and wellbores. However, the internal architecture could be over-simplified, without an in-depth understanding of the target carbonate system such as is provided by this study.

Neuere Erkenntnisse aus der linguistischen Forschung haben aufgezeigt, dass diese Annahme nicht zutreffend ist. Dies hat Konsequenzen für die logopädische Praxis in der Deutschschweiz: Die Mundart, d.h. der jeweilige schweizerdeutsche Dialekt, ist Therapiesprache im Frühbereich, aber auch in der Behandlung von zentralen Sprach- und Sprechstörungen in der Klinik. Der Einsatz bestehender Testverfahren, die sich an der normierten Standardsprache Hochdeutsch orientieren, muss kritisch hinterfragt werden. Es müssen neue Konzepte für die Diagnostik und Therapie der Mundart in der Deutschschweiz entwickelt werden. Kenntnisse der dialektalen Grammatik sind hierzu unumgänglich. Bis anhin stehen keine entsprechenden Zusammenstellungen zur Verfügung, die aktuelle linguistische Forschungsarbeiten mitberücksichtigen. Die vorliegende Arbeit will hierzu einen Beitrag leisten: Es sollen die Morphologie und Syntax des Zürichdeutschen beschrieben und mit dem Standarddeutschen kontrastiert werden. Schliesslich wird sich herausstellen, dass grammatikalische Besonderheiten der Mundart charakteristische Merkmale der gesprochenen Sprache darstellen.
Digital engagement in higher education: A case study of educator experiences and responses to change in science
Creators: name: Powter, Luke
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: Rapid advancement of e-learning technology, driven by the expansion of the Internet, has redefined expectations about how teaching should be conducted. Higher education organisations have been quick to recognise the learning potential of e-learning, particularly for students, and have become increasingly interested in broadening the uptake in e-learning approaches amongst teaching academics. However, the capacity of teaching academics to respond to these expectations has not been explored. The influences of their beliefs and their identity, within the cultural context of the university, warrant deeper investigation in order to illuminate the factors that drive behaviour within this context of change. This thesis focuses on teaching at a higher education institution, the Australian National University in Canberra Australia, focussing on science. The results of research focus on effective communication of visions of change within a highly developed academic culture. It establishes some of the evidence base for how an institution such as the ANU can transfer and develop teaching practices towards technology enhanced learning to the benefit of all aspects of the institution: executives, discipline leadership, academics staff and students. If educational use of technology is to be taken more seriously within this context, this research suggests attention to academic culture. For example, how institutions define academic excellence, and how education fits into the broader institutional vision are pertinent considerations for understanding academic's positive or negative responses to change. This thesis identifies that, in a context of change represented by educational technologies, top-down interventions to change university and academic cultures, are likely to lead to mixed results. Failure to consult or involve staff, can be a problem, particularly where the driver of change comes into conflict with academic culture, and academic's values and beliefs. This thesis argues that part of the solution could be organisation change, involving a wider appeal to wisdom among leadership, with a particular focus on the longer-term cultural change. This might include carefully considering the kinds of appointments to important educational leadership positions, and other leaderships positions who might have sound pedagogical or educational technology skills and judgement to navigate the institutional changes taking place.

description: We present the analytic forms for the spectra of the cosmological perturbations from an initially anisotropic universe for the high momentum modes in the context of WKB approximations, as the continuation of the work [29]. We consider the Einstein gravity coupled to a light scalar field. We then assume that the scalar field has the zero velocity initially and then slowly rolls down on the potential toward the origin. In the slow-roll approximations, the Kasner-de Sitter universe with a planar symmetry is a good approximation as the background evolution. Quantization of the perturbations in the adiabatic vacuum, which we call the anisotropic vacuum, is carried out. For non-planar high momentum modes whose comoving momentum component orthogonal to the plane is bigger than the Hubble parameter at the inflationary phase, the WKB approximation is valid for the whole stage of the isotropization. On the other hand, the planar modes whose comoving momentum component orthogonal to the plane is comparable to the Hubble parameter, is amplified during the process of the anisotropic expansion. In the final gravitational wave spectra, we find that there is an asymmetry between the two polarizations of the gravitational wave because the initial mode mixing does not vanish.

The Zinnwald/Cinovec Sn-W-Li greisen deposit on the border between Germany and Czech Republic in the eastern part of Krušné Hory/Erzgebirge represents a fluorine-rich hydrothermal alteration of a granite-rhyolite association. We investigated the effects of fluid-rock interaction on distal rhyolites of the deposit, using petrological and mineralogical data to constrain the process of greisenization in detail. The samples were selected from the contact between granite and rhyolite. Three distinct zones of high- and low-degree topaz-greisenization and albitization developed with different textures, mineral assemblages and mineral compositions. Beyond the albitization zone, a continuous transition to the least altered rhyolite was observed. In the greisen part, the predominant minerals are quartz (~80 vol%) and topaz (~10 vol%) with minor mica (~5 vol%). We employed a reactive transport model based on mass conservation and local equilibrium to unravel the detailed process of greisenization. We integrated solution models and endmember thermodynamic data for topaz in recent thermodynamic datasets. The model accounts for fluid flow, porosity and density evolution. The model is used to emulated the sequence of observed petrological zones as obtained with automated mineralogy to constrain the original fluid chemistry and reconstruct elements redistribution during greisenization. By comparing fluid-rock interaction models producing topaz greisen and topaz-free mica greisen, we quantify the F-content necessary to form the greisen at Zinnwald/Cínovec. The comparison implies that F content has a great influence on the greisenization types, which may be related to different metallogenic processes and give insights into W-Sn ore deposits.

description: We study the build-up of the bimodal galaxy population using the NEWFIRM Medium-Band Survey, which provides excellent redshifts and well-sampled spectral energy distributions of ~27,000 galaxies with K<22.8 at 0.4 < z < 2.2. We first show that star-forming galaxies and quiescent galaxies can be robustly separated with a two-color criterion over this entire redshift range. We then study the evolution of the number density and mass density of quiescent and star-forming galaxies, extending the results of the COMBO-17, DEEP2, and other surveys to z=2.2. The mass density of quiescent galaxies with M > 3 10^11 solar masses increases by a factor of ~10 from z=2 to the present day, whereas the mass density in star-forming galaxies is flat or decreases over the same time period. Modest mass growth by a factor of 2 of individual quiescent galaxies can explain roughly half of the strong density evolution at M>10^11 solar masses, due to the steepness of the exponential tail of the mass function. The rest of the density evolution of massive, quiescent galaxies is likely due to transformation (e.g. quenching) of the massive star-forming population, a conclusion which is consistent with the density evolution we observe for the star-forming galaxies themselves, which is flat or decreasing with cosmic time. Modest mass growth does not explain the evolution of less massive quiescent galaxies (~10^10.5 solar masses), which show a similarly steep increase in their number densities. The less massive quiescent galaxies are therefore continuously formed by transforming galaxies from the star-forming population

description:
During Ediacaran to earliest Cambrian times, the Cadomian Orogen formed a system of magmatic arcs and marginal basins at the northern periphery of the Gondwana supercontinent. The orogenic belt was structured in the geotectonic style of the recent western Pacific. The Saxo-Thuringian Zone forms part of the northern Bohemian Massif and contains a number of good preserved fragments derived from the peri-Gondwanan Cadomian Orogen (e.g. the Schwarzburg Antiform, the Lausitz Block, the Eastern Sudetes).  Here, we present a massive dataset of LA ICP-MS U-Pb ages and Hf-isotopes from detrital and magmatic zircon of sedimentary and igneous rocks from these areas. Sedimentary rocks are represented by arc-derived greywacke and mudstone turbidites in a back-arc and retro-arc setting. Further, glacio-marine diamictites and high-mature quartzites display passive margin deposits situated more proximate to the cratonic hinterland. U-Pb ages of detrital zircon form populations, which point to a West African hinterland during the time of deposition. The stratigraphic age of the basin fillings is bracketed between the maximum depositional age of the sedimentary rocks at c. 560 Ma and the age of intrusion of c. 539 Ma old granodiorite plutons, which intruded the isoclinal deformed greywacke-mudstone deposits of the marginal basins in the Cadomian orogenic system. The Cadomian crustal evolution is dominated by the recycling of continental crust from the West African hinterland as suggested by the dominance of zircons with negative εHf values. Juvenile arc magmas became contaminated by the recycling of Eburnian and Archaean crust during long Cadomian magmatic arc activity.

description: This thesis presents an experimental study carried out on gap-graded materials obtained from the W.A.C. Bennett Dam south moraine borrow source (BSM sand). The experimental work was carried out within a critical state framework to inform the development of a future critical state type model to quantitatively predict the effect of internal erosion in embankment dams under the mechanism of internal instability. An index void ratio testing program was carried out on gap-graded BSM sand to characterize the sand in loose and dense states, and assess the effect of changing finer fraction content on the void ratio of a gap graded mixture. The results of index testing were compared to those of similar gap-graded mixtures and found BSM sand has similar index properties to other binary mixtures. Index test results were used to characterize the microstructure of the gap-graded mixture in loose and dense states. Monotonic triaxial compression testing was carried out on three gap-gradations of BSM sand to: develop the critical state locus (CSL) for the gradations, assess the effects of changing finer fraction content on the CSL in a gap-graded BSM sand, and compare the results to similar gap-graded mixtures. It was found the CSL shifted upwards with decreasing finer fraction while maintaining the same general shape, similar to the behavior of other gap-graded mixtures. The equivalent intergranular void ratio was applied to the extrapolated critical state points obtained for all three tested gradations. It was found all gradations converged to a unique CSL with an excellent fit to the experimental data. This is similar to the behavior reported for other gap-graded mixtures. The findings of this study indicate the equivalent intergranular void ratio can be a useful tool in future constitutive model development.

description:
Sauropterygia was a taxonomically and ecomorphologically diverse clade of Mesozoic marine reptiles spanning the Early Triassic to the Late Cretaceous. Sauropterygians are traditionally divided into two groups representing two markedly different body plans – the short-necked, durophagous Placodontia and the long-necked Eosauropterygia – whereas Saurosphargidae, a small clade of armoured marine reptiles, is considered as the sauropterygian sister-group. However, the early evolutionary history of sauropterygians and their phylogenetic relationships with other groups within Diapsida are still incompletely understood. Here, we report a new saurosphargid from the Early Triassic of South China, representing the earliest known occurrence of the clade. An updated phylogenetic analysis focussing on the interrelationships within diapsid reptiles recovers saurosphargids as nested within sauropterygians, forming a clade with eosauropterygians to the exclusion of placodonts. Furthermore, a clade comprising Eusaurosphargis and Palatodonta is recovered as the sauropterygian sister-group. The phylogenetic position of several Early and Middle Triassic sauropterygians of previously uncertain phylogenetic affinity, such as Atopodentatus, Hanosaurus, Majiashanosaurus and Corosaurus, is also clarified, elucidating the early evolutionary assembly of the sauropterygian body plan. Finally, our phylogenetic analysis recovers Testudinata and Archosauromorpha within Archelosauria, a result strongly supported by molecular data, but until now rarely recovered by any phylogenetic analysis using a morphology-only data set. Our study provides evidence for the rapid diversification of sauropterygians in the aftermath of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction event and emphasises the importance of broad taxonomic sampling in reconstructing phylogenetic relationships among extinct taxa.
