Results show that L. polyphemus, S. inexpectans and R. rex have broadly similar microstrain patterns, reflecting effective durophagous abilities. Conversely, low microstrain values across the O. serratus protopodite suggest that the elongate gnathobasic spines transferred minimal strain, implying that this species was less well-adapted to masticate hard prey. These results confirm that Cambrian euarthropods with transversely elongate protopodites bearing short, robust gnathobasic spines were likely durophages. Comparatively, taxa with shorter protopodites armed with long spines, such as O. serratus, were more likely restricted to a soft food diet. The prevalence of Cambrian gnathobase-bearing euarthropods and their various feeding specializations may have accelerated the development of complex trophic relationships within early animal ecosystems, especially the 'arms race' between predators and biomineralized prey.]]> Wed 14 Sep 2022 09:05:36 AEST ]]> From mechanisms to function: an integrated framework of animal innovation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24667 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:03:03 AEST ]]> Three-dimensional time-domain scattering of waves in the marginal ice zone https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33563 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:23:22 AEST ]]> The Australian saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus) provides evidence that the capacitation of spermatozoa may extend beyond the mammalian lineage https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24845 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:18 AEDT ]]> The remarkable convergence of skull shape in crocodilians and toothed whales https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34588 Mon 01 Apr 2019 11:04:08 AEDT ]]> In situ epoxide generation by dimethyldioxirane oxidation and the use of epichlorohydrin in the flow synthesis of a library of beta-amino alcohols https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36503 3 catalysed microwave ring opening with amines afforded a select range of β-amino alcohols, but with lower levels of aminolysis regiocontrol than the sequential flow approach.]]> Fri 22 May 2020 16:51:41 AEST ]]> Scattering kernel of an array of floating ice floes: application to water wave transport in the marginal ice zone https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54691 Fri 08 Mar 2024 11:59:31 AEDT ]]> Wind waves in sea ice of the western Arctic and a global coupled wave-ice model https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:52992 Fri 03 Nov 2023 16:07:54 AEDT ]]>
