An overview of the postcranial osteology of caecilians (Gymnophiona, Lissamphibia)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 674-699, March 2026.
Abstract Caecilians comprise a relatively small (~220 species) group (Gymnophiona) of snake‐like or worm‐like, mostly tropical amphibians. Most adult caecilians are fossorial, although some species may live in aquatic or semi‐aquatic environments, either as larvae or adults.

Phylogeny and Biogeography of Calanthe Shed New Light on Alpine Origin and Radiation History of Calanthe Alliance

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Using nrITS, plastome, and single‐copy SNP data, we resolved the phylogeny of the Calanthe alliance, which originated in the late Oligocene. Its diversification process followed a two‐step pattern: first the warmest Cenozoic interval and Himalayan uplift drove the formation of three major lineages, then sustained Miocene cooling shaped further ...

Application of RMR89–NATM Rock Mass Classification for Tunnel Design: A Case Study From Bilaspur, Himachal Pradesh, India

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The Bilaspur region lies in a highly seismic zone, requiring special attention for infrastructure development like tunnel construction. Rock strength in the area is low, posing challenges for stable tunnel design. RMR values range from 21 to 30, categorizing the rock mass as Poor, requiring robust support measures.

A framework for in‐stream jams formed by snow avalanche‐delivered large wood

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
Large wood delivered by avalanches organizes into blanket or transport jam complexes.Jam complexes increase channel width and promote pool and bar formation. Avalanche frequency and magnitude, which are dependent on hillslope angle and roughness characteristics, controls jam complex type.

Aeolian and Biogeochemical Transformations of Detrital Gold Morphology in the Pool Burn Basin, Central Otago, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The Pool Burn basin is a tectonic depression that became almost isolated from the regional drainage system by river reorientation during Pleistocene uplift of surrounding ridges. Consequently, detrital gold in the basin was largely locally derived, from supergene zones on orogenic deposits and recycled from paleoplacers in erosional remnants of Miocene

Newly Discovered Active Faults in the Wairarapa Valley: Implications for Multi‐Fault Rupture and Kinematics in the Southern North Island, Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Active fault locations and constraints on the timing and size of earthquakes are important for understanding and mitigating seismic hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand. However, historical and instrumental records are too short to provide these data on most earthquake‐generating faults. Light detection and ranging (lidar) data provide us with the ability to

New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
New Zealand Geological Timescale 2025 (NZGT 2025) is the first comprehensive update and revision of the New Zealand Geological Timescale in a decade. The criteria used to establish age ranges of New Zealand Stages within the NZGT have been reviewed, calibrated, and revised where required against the 2023/04 International Chronostratigraphic Chart and ...

Evolution of the Transantarctic Basin (Southern Gondwana): Insights From Quantitative Sandstone Petrography

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The deposition of the sandstone sedimentary succession of the Beacon Supergroup lasted more than 200 Myr (Devonian to Early Jurassic) in Victoria Land and nearby territories in the so‐called Transantarctic Basin, recording crucial events in the history of the Earth.

Seismic Stratigraphy of Eocene–Recent Mixed Depositional Systems on the SE New Zealand Continental Margin, Great South Basin

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
The continental margin of SE New Zealand is strongly influenced by the Southland Current and associated water masses. This new seismic stratigraphic study of the margin has revealed a range of depositional mounds and erosional channels that document the close interaction of turbidity and bottom currents in shaping the margin from the Mid‐Eocene onward.
