SPROUT: A User-friendly, Scalable Toolkit for Multi-class Segmentation of Volumetric Images Open
The segmentation of fine-grained and complex structures from volumetric data, such as 3D biomedical images, is a manually intensive process, with performance hindered by limited training data and the difficulty of adapting AI models for sp…

Independent origins of vertebral complexity in tetrapods Open
The axial skeleton is the central anatomical structure uniting vertebrates, varying across the clade in the total number of constituent elements and morphological complexity, associated with changes in regulatory genetic mechanisms, respir…

hox gene expression predicts tetrapod-like axial regionalization in the skate, Leucoraja erinacea Open
The axial skeleton of tetrapods is organized into distinct anteroposterior regions of the vertebral column and ribs (cervical, trunk, sacral and caudal), and transitions between these regions are determined by colinear anterior expression …

On the origin of giant seeds: the macroevolution of the double coconut (<i>Lodoicea maldivica</i>) and its relatives (Borasseae, Arecaceae) Open
Summary Seed size shapes plant evolution and ecosystems, and may be driven by plant size and architecture, dispersers, habitat and insularity. How these factors influence the evolution of giant seeds is unclear, as are the rate of evolutio…

The importance of neutral over niche processes in structuring Ediacaran early animal communities Open
The relative influence of niche vs. neutral processes in ecosystem dynamics is an on‐going debate, but the extent to which they structured the earliest animal communities is unknown. Some of the oldest known metazoan‐dominated paleocommuni…
