FOSSILS REVEAL LONG-TERM CONTINUOUS AND PARALLEL INNOVATION IN THE SACRO-CAUDO-PELVIC COMPLEX OF THE HIGHLY AQUATIC PIPID FROGS

Fossils Reveal Long-Term Continuous and Parallel Innovation in the Sacro-Caudo-Pelvic Complex of the Highly Aquatic Pipid Frogs

Within the already peculiar Bauplan of anurans, pipid frogs have evolved an array of bizarre features that are commonly linked to their highly aquatic lifestyle.Among the latter, there are several distinctive sacro-caudo-pelvic features shared by extant pipids, which have been regarded as evolutionary novelties taking part of a specialized fore-aft

Comprehensive Analysis of Mass Loading Effects on GPS Station Coordinate Time Series Using Different Hydrological Loading Models

This paper comprehensively analyzes the effect of surface mass loading on GPS height time series in terms of weighted root mean square (WRMS), annual timescale, velocity and noise properties.Considering the complexity of the hydrological process, we adopt the same atmospheric loading and nontidal ocean loading estimated from the TUGO-m barotropic m
