SLOW SLIP EVENTS: PARAMETERS, CONDITIONS OF OCCURRENCE, AND FUTURE RESEARCH PROSPECTS by G. G. Kocharyan, S. B. Kishkina, V. A. Novikov, A. A. Ostapchuk

“…At equal Coulombic strength, small variations of structural characteristics, such as granulometric composition, grain shape, presence of fluid and its viscosity, may critically impact the deformation mode (Fig. 12).As evidenced by the data consolidated and analysed in this article, conditionally stable regimes of deformation of crustal discontinuities are a common phenomenon. …”

Multivariate neural markers of individual differences in thought control difficulties by Jacob DeRosa, Harry R. Smolker, Hyojeong Kim, Boman Groff, Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, Marie T. Banich

“…Individuals with higher levels of thought-control difficulty have less distinct multi-voxel patterns for each of the four operations, have a less distinct representation of the suppression and clear operations in the DMN network from its representations in other networks, and have a more variable representation of multiple operations within each of the FPCN, VN and SMN networks. …”

Impacts of host phylogeny, diet, and geography on the gut microbiome of rodents. by Sufia Akter Neha, John D Hanson, Jeremy E Wilkinson, Robert D Bradley, Caleb D Phillips

“…The present study focused on 12 species of rodents representing 3 rodent families and 3 dietary guilds (herbivores, granivores, and omnivores) to evaluate the influence of host phylogeny, dietary guild and geography on microbial diversity and community composition. Colon samples were examined from rodents that were collected from 7 different localities in Texas and Oklahoma which were characterized using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing targeting the V1-V3 variable regions. …”

Hydrological dynamics, wetland morphology and vegetation structure determine riparian arthropod communities in constructed wetlands by David Åhlén, Sofia Hedman, Jerker Jarsjö, Björn K. Klatt, Lea D. Schneider, John Strand, Ayco Tack, Imenne Åhlén, Peter A. Hambäck

“…Shoreline vegetation height affected multiple groups, spiders, beetles and dipterans, but in different directions, whereas presence of grazing livestock had limited impact on abundances and community compositions. Given the variable responses to wetland hydrological and structural drivers, it seems that wetland arthropod communities would benefit from a high local wetland habitat variability, or wetlandscapes where individual wetlands have differing hydrological dynamics, morphology and vegetation.…”
