The amalgamation of Pangea during the late Paleozoic is a major tectonic event in Earth history[1],but its process and timing is still not well understood,especially among its eastern margin.Two competing hypotheses e...
The metabolic scaling in the animal has been discussed for over 90 years,but no consensus has been reached.Our analysis of 2126 species of vertebrates reveals a significant allometric exponent heterogeneity.We show tha...

The Silurian-Devonian interval is an essential period in Earth history for witnessing the rise of sarcopterygian fishes and terrestrial vascular plants.In addition to its implication in global stratigraphic correlatio...
In this study,Ni_(2)P-Cd_(0.9)Zn_(0.1)S(NPCZS)composites were synthesized by coupling tetrapod bundle Cd_(0.9)Zn_(0.1)S(CZS)and coralline-like Ni_(2)P(NP)via a simple calcination method.CZS shows outstanding activity ...

Chemosensation is the most ubiquitous sense in animals,enacted by the products of complex gene families that detect environmental chemical cues and larger-scale sensory structures that process these cues.While there i...
As the Armor shape has a significant effect on the reduction of wave overtopping, this study compares the performance of various shapes of concrete armored blocks of X block and Tetrapod as the most suitable armors. I...

In recent years the Lower Cretaceous red beds of southwestern China have yielded more than 20 significant dinosaur-dominated tracksites. More than half occur in the Jiaguan Formation with the remainder in the Feitians...
Planar tetrapods ZnO (PTP-ZnO) or cross shaped tetrapod nanostructures were synthesized by a cethyltrimethylamonium hydroxide (CTAOH)-assisted hydrothermal method at low temperature (120°C). The XRD diffractogram sho...
