Most fossil feather stars are known only from the centrodorsal often connected to the radial circlet. This is the case for Discometra rhodanica (Fontannes, 1877), the type species of the genus Discometra, collected from the Late Burdigalian of the ...

Records of Burdigalian sea level and paleoclimate in the Maldives carbonate system
Tropical carbonate systems are valuable archives of paleoenvironments, as the carbonate growth is intimately affected by water depth and climatic conditions.

SIRENIA FOSSILS FROM QOM FORMATION (BURDIGALIAN) OF THE KABUDAR AHANG AREA, NORTHWEST IRAN
Fossil remains of sirenians (Mammalia; Dugongidae) are reported from the late early Miocene (Burdigalian) Qom Formation near the town of Shirin Su, northwest Kabudar Ahang region, west of Tehran, Iran. The fossils consist of partial postcranial skeletons

24 million years of pollination interaction between European linden flowers and bumble bees. [PDF]
Summary Pollination is the most common insect–plant mutualism, binding them in a co‐evolutionary framework. Historic evidence of this interaction can be partly inferred from time‐calibrated molecular phylogenies of plant and insect lineages or directly from fossils.

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Burdigalian ichnofabric from the Guri Member, Dezful Embayment, southwestern Iran
The carbonate strata of the Burdigalian Guri Member are located in the Dezful Embayment along the northern Persian Gulf shore. Ichnofabric analysis and paleoecology of the Guri Member in the Dezful Embayment are described by investigating three outcrop sections.

Burdigalian-Langhian foraminifera of the northwest High Zagros Thrust Belt, southwest Iran [PDF]
Abstract The foraminiferal contents of the lower–middle Miocene succession exposed in three sections in north Nur Abad on the northwestern side of the High Zagros Thrust Belt were studied. Assemblages of larger foraminifera from these sections can be referred to Zone SBZ 25 (and the Miogypsina globulus and Miogypsina intermedia subzones),

The First Complete Chloroplast Genome of <i>Lycium shawii</i>: Genomic Architecture, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolutionary Insights. [PDF]
The study presents the first complete chloroplast genome of Lycium shawii (PQ824997.1) spanning 155,936 bp and contains 128 genes (84 protein‐coding genes, 36 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs). Nucleotide diversity analysis highlighted atpI, rbcL, and accD as hypervariable loci suitable for DNA barcoding. Molecular dating analysis revealed that L.
