Hydrodynamics constrain choanoflagellate collar geometry
Tasawar Iqbal, Catherine Penington, Christian Thomas +1
As the closest living relatives of animals, choanoflagellates exhibit remarkable diversity. Even their microvilli collar, used to filter and capture food, varies significantly amon…
Remember when? Deciphering Ediacaran-Cambrian Metazoan behaviour and temporal memory using fossil movement paths
Brittany A. Laing, M. Gabriela Mángano, Luis A. Buatois +5
Evaluating the timing and trajectory of sensory system innovations is crucial for understanding the increase in phylogenetic, behavioural, and ecological diversity during the Ediac…
Spatial trends in Ediacaran Bilaterian trails
Brittany A. Laing, Luis A. Buatois, M. Gabriela Mángano +4
The Savannah Hypothesis and the Cambrian Information Revolution invoke the development of spatially heterogeneous resource distribution during the Ediacaran-Cambrian transition as…
Quantifying movement: Expanding the Ichnologist toolkit
Brittany A. Laing, Zoe Vestrum, Luke C. Strotz +4
The trace-fossil record serves as a rich dataset to examine fossil behaviour, ecologic interactions at community level, and evolutionary trends in behaviour across geological time.…
A Taylor swimming sheet under a finite Brinkman layer
Tasawar Iqbal, Catherine Penington, Christian Thomas +1
An asymptotic approach is employed to study the swimming speed of a two-dimensional Taylor swimming sheet beneath a Brinkman layer of finite thickness. This configuration is repres…
