Drilling predation on Early Jurassic bivalves and behavioral patterns of the presumed gastropod predator — evidence from Pliensbachian soft bottom deposits of northern Germany
<p><span>Drilling predation is a common reason for mortality of benthic molluscs but did not become common until the late Mesozoic. </span><span>The scarcity of drill holes in the early Mesozoic fossil record limits our </span><span>understanding of the evolution of drilling behavior and its role on shaping early Mesozoic marine communities. Here</span><span>,</span><span> we </span><span>use</span> <span>drill</span><span>ing trace</span><span>s on several bivalve taxa from the Lower Jurassic (Pliensbachian) marine soft bottom deposits in northern Germany</span> <span>to </span><span>explore</span><span> behavior</span><span>al patterns of the predator</span> <span>(e.g.,</span> <span>site selectivity</span><span>, change in site-selective behaviour with age)</span><span>. Although none of the known drilling gastropod groups existed in the Pliensbachian, including the studied localities, the drill hole morphology suggests that the predator was probably a gastropod. The </span><span>ecology and identity of the </span><span>target prey change from a diverse array of epifaunal to infaunal taxa in older deposits to focus on a single large deep infaunal taxon, <em>Gresslya</em> <em>intermedia</em>, in younger deposits, suggesting a potential trend in prey selectivity over time. Spatial point pattern analysis of traces (SPPAT) reveals an </span><span>aggregated pattern of drill holes </span><span>on <em>Gresslya</em>, suggesting strong selectivity in drill hole location. Drilling on a single large infaunal taxon and site selectivity are common patterns also inferred previously from the drilled deep infaunal Eothyasira from the Pliensbachian of southern Germany. In addition to the scarcity of predators, the highly specialized behavior of the early drilling predators, including strong prey selectivity in terms of prey identity and life habit, can partly explain the rarity of the early Mesozoic drill holes.</span></p>

Soft trade-offs and the stochastic emergence of diversification in E. coli evolution experiments
<p>Laboratory experiments of bacterial colonies (e.g., <em>Escherichia coli</em>) under well-controlled conditions often lead to evolutionary diversification in which (at least) two ecotypes, each one specialized in the consumption of a different set of metabolic resources, branch out from an initially monomorphic population. Empirical evidence suggests that, even under fixed and stable conditions, such an "evolutionary branching'' occurs in a stochastic way, meaning that: (i) it is observed in a significant fraction, but not all, of the experimental repetitions, (ii) it may emerge at broadly diverse times, and (iii) the relative abundances of the resulting subpopulations are variable across experiments. Theoretical approaches shedding light on the possible emergence of evolutionary branching in this type of condition have been previously developed within the theory of "adaptive dynamics''. Such approaches are typically deterministic –or incorporate at most demographic or finite-size fluctuations which become negligible for the extremely large populations of these experiments– and, thus, do not permit to reproduce the empirically observed large degree of variability. Here, we make further progress and shed new light on the stochastic nature of evolutionary outcomes by introducing the idea of "soft'' trade-offs (as opposed to"hard'' ones). This introduces a natural new source of stochasticity which allows one to account for the empirically observed variability as well as to make predictions for the possibility of evolutionary branching to be observed, thus helping to bridge the gap between theory and experiments.</p>
Desktop fabrication of monolithic soft robotic devices with embedded fluidic control circuits
<p>Most soft robots are pneumatically actuated and fabricated by molding and assembling processes that typically require many manual operations and limit complexity. Furthermore, complex control components (for example, electronic pumps and microcontrollers) must be added to achieve even simple functions. Desktop fused filament fabrication (FFF) three-dimensional printing provides an accessible alternative with less manual work and the capability of generating more complex structures. However, because of material and process limitations, FFF-printed soft robots often have a high effective stiffness and contain a large number of leaks, limiting their applications. We present an approach for the design and fabrication of soft, airtight pneumatic robotic devices using FFF to simultaneously print actuators with embedded fluidic control components. We demonstrated this approach by printing actuators an order of magnitude softer than those previously fabricated using FFF and capable of bending to form a complete circle. Similarly, we printed pneumatic valves that control a high-pressure airflow with low control pressure. Combining the actuators and valves, we demonstrated a monolithically printed electronics-free autonomous gripper. When connected to a constant supply of air pressure, the gripper autonomously detected and gripped an object and released the object when it detected a force due to the weight of the object acting perpendicular to the gripper. The entire fabrication process of the gripper required no posttreatment, postassembly, or repair of manufacturing defects, making this approach highly repeatable and accessible. Our proposed approach represents a step toward complex, customized robotic systems and components created at distributed fabricating facilities.</p>
Preservational modes of some ichthyosaur soft tissues (Reptilia, Ichthyopterygia) from the Jurassic Posidonia Shale of Germany
<p><em><span>Konservat-Lagerstätten</span></em><span>, such as the Toarcian (Early Jurassic) Posidonia Shale of southwestern Germany, are renowned for their spectacular fossils. Ichthyosaur skeletons recovered from this formation are frequently associated with soft-tissues; however, the preserved material ranges from three-dimensional, predominantly phosphatized structures to dark films of mainly organic matter. We examined soft-tissue residues obtained from two ichthyosaur specimens using an integrated ultrastructural and geochemical approach. Our analyses revealed that the superficially-looking 'films' in fact comprise sections of densely aggregated melanosome (pigment) organelles sandwiched between phosphatized layers containing fibrous microstructures. We interpret this distinct layering as representing condensed and incompletely degraded integument from both sides of the animal. When compared against previously documented ichthyosaur fossils, it becomes readily apparent that a range</span> <span>of preservational modes exists between presumed 'phosphatic' and 'carbonized' soft-tissue remains. Some specimens show high structural fidelity (e.g., distinct integumentary layering), while others, including the fossils examined in this study, retain few original anatomical details. This diversity of soft-tissue preservational modes among Posidonia Shale ichthyosaurs offers a unique opportunity to examine different biostratinomic, taphonomic, and diagenetic variables that potentially could affect the process of fossilization. Soft-tissue preservation in the Posidonia Shale likely was regulated by a multitude of factors, including decay efficacy and speed of phosphatic mineral nucleation; these in turn were governed by a seafloor with sustained microbial mat activity fuelled by high organic matter input and seasonally fluctuating oxygen levels. </span></p>

Physiology of the widespread pulsating soft coral Xenia umbellata is affected by food sources, but not by water flow
<p>Coral energy and nutrient acquisition strategies are complex and sensitive to environmental conditions such as water flow. While high water flow can enhance feeding in hard corals, knowledge about the effects of water flow on the feeding of soft corals, particularly those pulsating, is still limited. In this study, we thus investigated the effects of feeding and water flow on the physiology of the pulsating soft coral <em>Xenia</em> <em>umbellata</em>. We crossed three feeding treatments i) no feeding, ii) particulate organic matter [POM] as phytoplankton, and iii) dissolved organic carbon [DOC] as glucose, with four water volume exchange rates (200, 350, 500 and 650 Lh<sup>-1</sup>) over 15 days. Various ecophysiological parameters were assessed including pulsation rate, growth rate, isotopic and elemental ratios of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) as well as photo-physiological parameters of the Symbiodiniaceae (cell density, chlorophyll-<em>a</em> and mitotic index). Water flow had no significant effect but feeding had a substantial impact on the physiology of the <em>X. umbellata </em>holobiont. In the absence of food, corals exhibited significantly lower pulsation rates, lower Symbiodiniaceae cell density, and lower mitotic indices compared to the fed treatments, yet significantly higher chlorophyll-<em>a</em> per cell and total N content. Differences were also observed between the two feeding treatments, with significantly higher pulsation rates and lower chlorophyll-a per cell in the DOC treatment, but higher C and N content in the POM treatment. Our findings suggest that the <em>X. umbellata</em> holobiont can be viable under different trophic strategies, though favouring mixotrophy. Additionally, the physiology of the <em>X. umbellata</em> may be regulated through its own pulsating behaviour without any positive nor negative effects from different water flow. Thus, this study contributes to our understanding of soft coral ecology, particularly regarding the competitive success and widespread distribution of <em>X. umbellata</em>.</p>
