The brachiopod faunas from the Fezouata Shale (Lower Ordovician; Tremadocian–Floian) of the Zagora area, Anti‐Atlas, Morocco: evidence for a biodiversity hub in Gondwana (2024)
Journal Article
Candela, Y., Harper, D. A. T., & Mergl, M. (2024). The brachiopod faunas from the Fezouata Shale (Lower Ordovician; Tremadocian–Floian) of the Zagora area, Anti‐Atlas, Morocco: evidence for a biodiversity hub in Gondwana. Papers in Palaeontology, 10(5), Article e1592. https://doi.org/10.1002/spp2.1592

Since the early 2000s, the discovery of fossils and their collection from the Fezouata Shale has accelerated; enabling us to understand the faunas more thoroughly. The brachiopod fauna has not been investigated for the past 50 years, and we present h...

Have people ‘had enough of experts’? The impact of populism and pandemic misinformation on institutional trust in comparative perspective (2024)
Journal Article
Štětka, V., Brandao, F., Mihelj, S., Tóth, F., Hallin, D., Rothberg, D., Ferracioli, P., & Klimkiewicz, B. (online). Have people ‘had enough of experts’? The impact of populism and pandemic misinformation on institutional trust in comparative perspective. Information, Communication and Society, 1-22. https://doi.org/10.1080/1369118x.2024.2413121

Public trust in institutions is a key prerequisite for effective crisis management.

Symthons reveal how fluorine disrupts π–π stacking in halobenzene crystal structures (2024)
Journal Article
Black, S. N., & Davey, R. J. (2024). Symthons reveal how fluorine disrupts π–π stacking in halobenzene crystal structures. CrystEngComm, 26(33), 4498-4508. https://doi.org/10.1039/d4ce00565a

Symmetry-forming closest approaches of aromatic rings; ‘Symthons’, are usually the strongest interactions in halobenzene crystal structures. Where they combine to create π–π stacking, they are as strong as hydrogen bonds. This π–π stacking is disrupt...
