Anomalously porous boulders on (162173) Ryugu as primordial materials from its parent body

Planetesimals—the initial stage of the planetary formation process—are considered to be initially very porous aggregates of dusts^1,2, and subsequent thermal and compaction processes reduce their porosity³. The Ha...

Sex Change in Protogynous Fish Red-Belted Anthias Pseudanthias rubrizonatus (Serranidae) in Kagoshima Bay, Japan

The Serranidae are well known for protogynous sex change. The red-belted anthias Pseudanthias rubrizonatus inhabits Kagoshima Bay. We aimed to estimate the body size and age of P. rubrizonatus exhibiting sex chan...
