Neogene plate tectonic reconstructions and geodynamics of North Island sedimentary basins: Implications for the petroleum systems [PDF]
, 2006 Although the modern Australia-Pacific plate boundary through New Zealand is relatively straight, there have been significant changes in its geometry during the Neogene. Within the North Island sector there has been a fundamental transition from an Alpine

Volcanic soils alleviate the allelopathic capacity of Empetrum nigrum in degraded tundra ecosystems
Oikos, EarlyView.Land degradation due to unsustainable land use is of major concern worldwide and recovery is often slow. A potential mechanism behind slow recovery of degraded ecosystems is the retarding impacts of allelopathic plant species on the establishment of species that might facilitate the recovery process.

Oikos, EarlyView.The extent to which different magnitudes and directions of temperature fluctuations explain long‐term trends in aquatic invertebrate body size is largely unknown. Using elevational gradients and paleolimnological reconstructions, we tested the hypotheses that the size of subfossil chironomid (non‐biting midges) head capsules (HCs) will covary with ...

Patterns and drivers of range filling of alien mammals in Europe
Oikos, EarlyView.Biological invasions are major drivers of biodiversity change. Alien mammals are particularly concerning in Europe, where their expansion remains unabated, though the driving factors are still unclear. Well‐documented introductions and distributions in this continent provide a unique opportunity to understand how human activities influenced this ...

Who is local and what do they know? Braiding knowledges within carnivore management in Europe
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Growing recognition of Indigenous Peoples and traditional local communities as stewards of biodiversity has brought to the fore the issues of knowledge and value pluralism in conservation policy and practice. Given their basis in practical and multi‐generational experience, Indigenous and local knowledges are highly relevant to managing human ...

Postglacial colonization and parallel evolution of metal tolerance in the polyploid Cerastium alpinum [PDF]
, 2005 The Fennoscandian flora is characterized by a high frequency of polyploids, probably because they were more successful than diploid plants in colonizing after the last Ice Age.
