title: New horsetail macrofossils from the Lower Cretaceous of the Laiyang Basin, Eastern China, and biogeographic analyses

description: <i>Equisetum</i>, the sole-living representative of Sphenopsida, is considered as a ‘living fossil’, with impressive species richness and a long fossil history dating back to the Devonian. It is regarded as a key taxon in attempting to understand the evolution of vascular plants. Here, we describe a new species, <i>Equisetum shandongensis sp. nov</i>. from the Early Cretaceous of the Laiyang Formation in Laiyang Basin, Shandong Province, eastern China. This species is the first record of horsetails from the Laiyang Basin, and it consists of relatively complete stems with distinct leaf sheaths, sporangiate spikes with helically arranged pentagonal sporangiophores, underground rhizomes, and tubers. The close affinity of our fossils to <i>Equisetum</i> is supported by the presence of both macromorphological and epidermal characters. This new species deepens our understanding of the diversity and distribution range of the early <i>Equisetum</i> in the Lower Cretaceous. The biogeographic distribution of <i>Equisetum</i> has been evaluated based on the phylogenetic and biogeographic analyses, which lead to the speculation that the subgenus <i>Equisetum</i> derived from the Laurasian clade no later than the Early Cretaceous.

title: Oligo-Miocene marine bivalves from the Kutch Basin (western India) and their biogeographic implications in the context of Tethyan closure

description: The Oligo-Miocene marine deposits of the Kutch Basin in western India display a diverse faunal assemblage during and after the separation of the Tethyan seaway. We documented 22 genera and 35 species of bivalves from this basin, collected from 11 time-constrained shell beds of three formations – Maniyara Fort (Chattian), Khari Nadi (Aquitanian), and Chhasra (Burdigalian–Langhian) representing a period of ~9 My (24.4–15 Ma). Three new species, <i>Anomia vakram, Callista ramparensis</i>, and <i>Tucetona bharati</i>, were described. Oligo-Miocene bivalves of the Kutch Basin, representing the Western Indian Province (WIP), demonstrate a complex pattern of changing affinity to coeval fauna of the Mediterranean-Iranian Province (MIP) and the Eastern African-Arabian Province (EAAP) and Eastern Indian Province (EIP). The Kutch Basin witnessed a rise in genus affinity with all provinces during the Early Miocene, driven by the development of shallow water habitats due to seaway constriction. However, the rise in species similarity among WIP, EAAP, and EIP suggests a strengthening provincialism around the Indian Ocean following the seaway closure. Overall, the Oligo-Miocene bivalves of the WIP remain underexplored, highlighting the need for more fossil molluscan data outside the MIP for comprehensive biogeographic analysis.

title: Herbivory in ancient aquatic ecosystems: the case of Miocene <i>Salvinia</i> species from the Northwestern of Argentina

description: Herbivory traces found on <i>Salvinia graui</i> Herbst and Anzótegui, 1987 and <i>Salvinia</i> cf. <i>minima</i> Baker, 1886 were analysed herein. These ichnofossils were collected from Quebrada de Alfredo outcrop in sediments corresponding to the Palo Pintado Formation (Late Miocene, at the Northwest of Argentina). Among the traces identified, one of them became interesting: a new type of leaf-mining that never have been recorded in these fossil plants. The leaf-mining are linear and branched like fingers, pointing to a particular behaviour from the insect producer. Likewise, other damage types corresponding to marginal, non-marginal and window excisions and one gall were found. The fossil traces were assigned to five ichnospecies, of which three are novelties. Moreover, these damages were compared with modern specimens collected at the Northeast of Argentina and possible producers were inferred. This study demonstrates that interactions between <i>Salvinia</i> and their associated insects were already established 8 Ma ago, without suffering significant changes. Our results also constitute the second evidence of plant-insect interactions of aquatic ferns during the Neogene in both South America and worldwide as well as enrich the understanding of the ecological dynamics and diversity of insect feeding strategies in aquatic environments at different times in the past.

title: A grallatorid track site from the Lower Cretaceous Hekou Group, Gansu Province, China

description: A variety of avemetatarsalian and non-archosaurian reptile tracks have been discovered in the lower Cretaceous Hekou Group in western China, where they occur alongside a herbivorous dinosaur skeletal fauna. A new track assemblage has recently been identified in the upper Hekou Group in Matan Natural Village, Jingyuan County, situated to the east of the primary track assemblage. The track-bearing bed is composed of sandstone-dominated, gypsum-included mottled clastic deposits, which indicate an arid braided river environment. All of the tracks in this site are classified as Cretaceous ichnospecies of <i>Grallator</i>, <i>G. ssatoi</i>, which are distributed in northern China. Additionally, the specimens exhibit members exceeding the original definition of <i>Grallator</i> (≤15 cm). These well-preserved tracks not only demonstrate the widespread distribution of this ichnospecies in the Lower Cretaceous of China, but also provide insight into the relationship between the metatarsophalangeal pad traces of <i>G. ssatoi</i> and preservation. The sliding traces among them can indicate the ability of trackmakers to maintain balance while walking. Furthermore, the closely associated parallel trackways suggest that the trackmakers may have exhibited gregarious behaviour, and that such aggregation during marching may have been related to their self-preserving strategy.

title: Assessments of the earliest bats from the Quaternary of Serra da Mesa (Goiás, Brazil): phylogenetic insights and biogeographic modelling on the new extinct species of <i>Rhinophylla</i>, the first fossil record of the subfamily Rhinophyllinae (Chiroptera, Mammalia)

description: Recovered from Quaternary deposits in Carneiro Cave (Serra da Mesa, Brazil), associated with a clayey-sandy sedimentary influx older than the overlying calcite layer, which has been dated to 182.8 ± 1.2 ka, a new extinct species of <i>Rhinophylla</i> is described based on a proximal radio fragment. This discovery represents one of the three oldest occurrences of Chiroptera in the exposed stratigraphic profile. The fossil record of Chiroptera consists of 1,117 bone fragments, distributed across Pleistocene and Holocene sedimentary packages. The chronology of this sedimentary sequence is established using dated layers, all of which are fully consistent with their order of deposition. A comparative study of the radioulnar morphology was conducted to determine the taxonomic identity of the new fossil bat. A strict consensus tree for phyllostomids was obtained, surprisingly consistent with recent molecular phylogenies, unequivocally places the new fossil in the subfamily Rhinophyllinae. Biogeographic modelling of <i>Rhinophylla</i>, typically characterised by an ecomorphology of small specialised epiphytic frugivores, suggests that around 200 ka (the fossil’s age reference) the genus may have had a broader distribution across Central Brazil than is observed today. This is consistent with the fact that <i>Rhinophylla</i> is currently absent in the surrounding region of the Carneiro Cave.

title: Related Data for: ‘I feel like my awareness grew’: Fostering dialogues to increase awareness through virtual book clubs

description: This article adopts a Bakhtinian understanding of dialogue to explore the affordances of virtual book clubs, and how they can foster dialogues and encourage dialogic thinking in students. Drawing on a qualitative case study of 11-year-old students participating in an online book club, we explore how digital book clubs open dialogic spaces for students to build on discussions of texts. Readers learn to read beyond the text by becoming more aware of the text and other readers, and also learn collaboratively by building on each other’s responses and being exposed to different perspectives and ideas. We demonstrate how online spaces such as virtual book clubs can enhance students’ reading engagement and open dialogic spaces for the different exchanges they have with others. Implications for using online book clubs for offering students opportunities to read and think critical and collaborative learning are discussed.

title: Dataset of "Enhancing Low Illumination Response of SHJ Solar Cells for More Sustainable Systems: A Device Simulation Study"

description: We used calibrated numerical simulation models to optimize silicon heterojunction (SHJ) solar cells, with a focus principally on higher efficiency at lower illumination. We comprehensively optimized the SHJ configuration for a wide variation of absorber doping/resistivity (5×1014 cm-3 - 5×1017 cm-3/ 9.05 – 0.032 Ω.cm).A combination of a moderate to high doped absorber, together with a doped a-Si:H(p) contact layer for an optimized front electrode workfunction, further boosts efficiency irrespective of illumination. The other advantage of our optimization is the relaxed requirements of a higher work function of the front electrode necessary for a hole-selective contact in SHJ solar cells.

title: Related Data for: What makes adolescents want to read? Examining adolescents’ contemporary print and new media (fiction) leisure reading through mobile ethnography

description: Drawing on data from a mobile ethnography study of 12 adolescents from one secondary school, this article proposes to examine the everyday digital reading resources and practices of Singapore adolescent youths to better understand the print and new media (fiction) leisure reading habits of adolescents. Mobile ethnography, with its capacity to capture adolescents’ actual reading through images, texts, and video recordings, provides a new way to document and understand the changing reading habits of adolescents. Participants documented their print and digital reading on a smartphone app over four days, followed by a photo-elicitation interview. Findings showed that these adolescents read for pleasure and were self-directed readers who invested time in reading various new media fiction texts such as ebooks, Japanese manga and fanfiction. Practices of new media reading include cross-media consumption, engagement in fandom behaviours, and interest-driven searching for diverse reading materials. Adolescents are motivated to read when the reading experience promises immersive entertainment. A good story, ease of access to interesting content and potential for multiple media engagements encourage adolescents’ volitional reading. Implications for curriculum and future research on adolescent volitional reading are discussed.

title: Mixing, measuring and working container for reagents

description: This dataset contains the CAD models for four design iterations of the mixing, measuring and working container for the cfDNA extraction cartridge. These containers represent the main design concept iterations. Each file contains one of the container designs in correct upright position, where the top connections are for pneumatic pressure and bottom connections/channels for liquid, except for `Container-2D-5` where both the topmost and bottom connections are for liquid transfer with the pneumatic connection in between. Placement for the magnet used for the collection of magnetic particles is the shallow bottom part of the containers from the side of the open face in the models except for the `Container-2D-5`, where it is from the side of the grid. For all the containers except for the `Container-T27.2`, mixing of the liquid is based on material transfer between the two containers or from/to the container. In `Container-T27.2`, air is introduced from the bottom inlet and bubbles are used to mix the liquid. For models where two containers are present, the container without a more shallow section at the bottom is the secondary, measuring container used for transfers during mixing process and for measuring in the reagents.

Prototype components from the designs were manufactured with various methods, including CNC milling from polycarbonate sheet material, vacuum forming from polypropylene films and 3D printing using stereolithography (SLA) technology. Photographs of such prototype components are provided in the png-files.
