Chondrichthyan species (sharks, rays, skates, and chimaeras) are a class of high ecological, economic, and cultural significance, and yet they are the most threatened taxa in the marine environment. The creation of reference chromosome-length genome assemblies allows for conservation genomics methods, such as population and ecological genomics, to be utilized. Despite being greatly threatened and of great importance in maintaining ecosystem function, chondrichthyan species have been repeatedly absent from conservation-based genome sequencing projects. Less than 1% of these species have a genom...

The Development of High Temperature Nanoindentation Sponsored by Alemnis AGMay 26 2021 High-temperature nanoindentation is a popular method with numerous applications in materials science, bioscience, coatings and additive manufacturing. The method is generally utilized for the investigation of the mechanical properties of materials at small length scales. Since mechanical properties are usually temperature-dependent, the development of high-temperature nanoindentation will have a significant impact relative to industrial applications where materials are used or processed at h...
