Global diversification of coastal Cafius rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) driven by ocean currents since the early Miocene

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract As our understanding of abiotic factors continues to grow, along with insights into the biological traits of organisms, so too does the sophistication of studies exploring global diversification and spatio‐temporal distribution patterns. The global distribution of coastal Cafius rove beetles, combined with the endemic distribution patterns ...

Comparative Phylogeography of Phrynosomatid Lizards in Baja California: Asynchronous Divergences and Expansion of Callisaurus draconoides Across the North American Deserts

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim We tested whether co‐distributed phrynosomatid lizards in the Baja California Peninsula (BCP) share synchronous phylogeographic discontinuities, as predicted by the “peninsular archipelago” hypothesis, and examined the diversification of Callisaurus draconoides throughout its range.

Microallopatric Speciation in Southern African Dung Beetle Genus Macroderes Driven by Miocene Aridification and Ancestral Flight Loss

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Southern Africa harbours a diverse array of dung beetles (Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae), with many species endemic to the region. Despite this diversity, the historical drivers of their evolution remain largely unexplored. This study investigates the evolutionary history of the flightless dung beetle genus Macroderes, testing its monophyly ...

Defining River Regional Landscape Classifications for Implementing Spatially Extensive Brazilian Stream Assessments

Journal of Biogeography, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To determine whether regional classification—river typology or ecoregion—better captures the ecological variability of tropical stream ecosystems for biomonitoring purposes. Location Three hundred and forty‐eight streams located in the São Francisco, Mata Atlântica and Paraná hydrologic units, Minas Gerais state, southeastern Brazil.

Two-sided asymmetric subduction; implications for tectonomagmatic and metallogenic evolution of the Lut Block, Eastern Iran [PDF]

, 2011
West directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones.

Size, not phylogeny, explains the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth in the crown clade Crocodylia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 558-574, April 2025.
Here, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

Depositional Facies, Sequence Stratigraphy, and Diagenesis of Lower Cretaceous Carbonate Reservoir, Southern Iraq: Implications for Petroleum Exploration

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Lower Cretaceous Yamama Formation of southern Iraq represents a key carbonate reservoir within Iraq and the Middle East, yet its complex depositional facies architecture and diagenetic alterations present challenges for predicting reservoir quality.
