Data from: Spectral wear modelling of rubber friction on a hard substrate with large surface roughness
<p>Soft-hard matter friction is a long-standing tribology problem that remains unclarified, requiring engineers to empirically predict the wear life. To clarify this issue, this study examines the transient running-in regime of rubber friction on a hard rough substrate and models the temporal wear progression using the spectrum curves of surface roughness for both materials. Performing a series of friction tests and three-dimensional surface-height measurements, the time-dependent behaviours of the power spectral densities (PSDs) are divided into two phases, namely the initial non-steady and long-term steady phases. The detailed spectral analyses of worn rubber surfaces in the initial phase lead to a blended PSD function between self-affine and K-correlation surface models, consisting of one variable (the Hurst exponent) that is saturated by the substrate self-affinity. Supported by the Greenwood–Williamson theory concerning rough contact mechanics, the volumetric estimate with the blended PSD function is used to assess the volume rate of wear debris in the steady phase, which is validated experimentally. These findings not only improve the wear predictions of soft materials from previous measurements of worn surfaces but also help clarify the constrained multiscale mechanism of wear.</p>

Did hard substrate taxa diversify prior to the Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event?
<p>The Great Ordovician Biodiversification Event (GOBE) refers to one of the greatest increases in biodiversity during the Phanerozoic. Recent studies have shown that this taxonomic increase can be attributed to elevated origination rates around the Dapingian-Darriwilian boundary in the Middle Ordovician, while extinction rates stayed relatively constant throughout the Ordovician. Even though this global pattern of origination and extinction appears similar across diverse groups and geographic areas, earlier studies suggested that hard substrate taxa may have diversified prior to the GOBE, during the Early Ordovician. Here, we quantify Ordovician diversification dynamics of hard substrate taxa while simultaneously accounting for temporally varying sampling probabilities. Diversification rates of hard substrate taxa, both as a whole and when analysed as separate groups, appear to be very similar to those of free-living benthic taxa. The observation that the diversification dynamics of many different taxonomic and ecological groups show the same temporal pattern, suggests a common-cause to Ordovician diversification dynamics.</p>
Data from: Distribution of the invasive Caprella mutica Schurin, 1935 and native Caprella linearis (Linnaeus, 1767) on artificial hard substrates in the North Sea: separation by habitat
Studying offshore natural and artificial hard substrates in the southern North Sea (51ºN–57ºN/1ºW–9ºE), the invasive introduced Japanese skeleton shrimp Caprella mutica Schurin, 1935 was found to co-exist with the native Caprella linearis (Linnaeus, 1767) only on near-shore locations that had an intertidal zone (e.g., wind farm foundations). In contrast, on far offshore and strictly subtidal locations, such as shipwrecks and rocky reefs, only C. linearis was found. Based on these exploratory observations, we hypothesised that artificial structures that are only subtidal are inhabited exclusively by C. linearis, and never by C. mutica. To test this hypothesis and understand factors driving each species' habitat preferences, habitat suitability models were constructed using generalised additive models, based on samples collected in 2013–2015 from offshore gas platforms, buoys, shipwrecks, and rocky reefs and combined with data from other published and unpublished surveys (2001–2014). The models showed that the presence of C. mutica is explained by the availability of intertidal and floating hard substrates, suspended particulate matter density (SPM), mean annual sea surface temperature, salinity, and current velocity. The C. linearis model included subtidal hard substrates, SPM, salinity, temperature, and current velocity. The modelled distributions showed a significant difference, demonstrating that C. linearis' habitat preference does not fully overlap with that of C. mutica. Thus, the native and alien Caprella species are likely to be able to co-exist in the North Sea.
