How Does the Phasianidae Maintain Its Diversity in Central China?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of allopatric speciation suggests that spatial separation is the major driver to speciation. The ecological niche theory suggests that differentiations in niche dimensions allow more species to co‐exist in ecological communities.

The fishes of Bukwa, Uganda, a lower Miocene (Burdigalian) locality of East Africa

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2017
Renewed research at the early Miocene fossil site of Bukwa in northeastern Uganda has resulted in new fossil finds, including fish, with representatives of two families, Cichlidae and Alestidae. Although the two families were previously briefly reported from Bukwa, we here give a more detailed account of the fishes based on newly collected material ...

LA "GONFOLITE LOMBARDA": STRATIGRAFIA E SIGNIFICATO NELL'EVOLUZIONE DEL MARGINE SUDALPINO

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
The Oligocene-Miocene succession of the "Gonfolite Lombarda" outcrops in Western Lombardy and is largely represented in the subsurface of the northern PO Plain. In the this group was considered as a typical example of post- orogenic molasse deposit.

BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AND PALEOENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF THE LOWER MIOCENE QOM FORMATION (JAAM AREA, CENTRAL IRANIAN BASIN)

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2023
Lower Miocene sediments from a previously not investigated outcrop of the Qom Formation (Central Iranian Basin) were studied for their foraminiferal and calcareous nannofossil content.

Post‐Eocene 90° CCW Rotation of Sardinia‐South Corsica: Paleomagnetic Evidence From Permian‐Cretaceous Sediments of Nurra (NW Sardinia)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The paleomagnetism of Miocene calc‐alkaline volcanics and sediments from Sardinia has firmly showed that the Corsica‐Sardinia microplate rotated 50°–60° counterclockwise (CCW) with respect to Europe between 21 and 15 Ma, during its drift from the Provencal margin. However, Permian to Eocene rocks from central‐south Sardinia revealed higher (up

Decapod Crustacea of the Central Paratethyan Ottnangian Stage (middle Burdigalian): implications for systematics and biogeography

Geologica Carpathica, 2015
AbstractDecapod crustaceans from the Ottnangian (middle Burdigalian, Lower Miocene) of the Western and Central Paratethys remain poorly known. In this study, we review and re-describe mud shrimps (Jaxea kuemeli), ghost shrimps (Gourretiasp.,Calliax michelottii) and brachyuran crabs of the families Leucosiidae, Polybiidae and Portunidae.

Type of Carbonate Production, Sedimentary and Tectonic Evolution of the Pliocene Mixed Carbonate Siliciclastic Unit (Macco) in the Tarquinia Basin, Central Italy

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Piacenzian mixed carbonate‐siliciclastic succession (‘Macco’ unit) deposited on the passive margin of the Tyrrhenian back‐arc basin. Sedimentation was controlled by syn‐sedimentary tectonics, with NW–SE first‐order faults (3–4 km) creating accommodation space and NE–SW second‐order faults (~0.5 km) influencing facies distribution and growth structures.

Rare record of co-occurrence of a diverse assemblage of alpheids and gobiids from the Miocene (Burdigalian) of Kerala Basin, southwest India: Palaeoecological implications in the context of mutualism

Journal of the Palaeontological Society of India
Globally, the fossil record of the co-occurrence of alpheids (mainly claw fingertips) and gobiids (mainly otoliths) is a rarity. Herein, we record a diverse assemblage (comprising a total of nine species) of alpheid shrimps (based on fossilised claw ...

Multi‐Proxy Thermal History of Basin Heating During Cordilleran Orogenesis in the Magallanes‐Austral Retroarc Foreland Basin, Patagonian Andes

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Paleogene unconformity development from ~64 to 22 Ma for the Magallanes‐Austral retroarc foreland basin (MAB). Schematic shows (A) MAB foreland subsidence and basin infilling, (B) onset of cooling and basin inversion as subducting plate shallows, (C) continued foreland uplift, erosion and cooling as the oblique Farallon‐Phoenix ridge subducts beneath ...
