Reconstruction of Rock Uplift in South‐Central Germany Since Late Mesozoic Times
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 21, 16 November 2026.Abstract Rock uplift and denudation act as first‐order controls on geological processes that influence atmospheric and ocean composition, and landscape‐forming processes. However, estimating rock uplift rates remains challenging due to the temporal averaging of rates calculated from individual thermo‐ or geochronologic systems.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3106-3122, November 2026.Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Tectonic Re‐Organization and Onset of South Caspian Escape Tectonics at 1.8–2.4 Ma
Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 6, November‐December 2026.We show that the presently active tectonics of the South Caspian began relatively recently, likely in the range 1.8–2.4 Myr and replacing an older tectonic configuration ending in the Miocene at ~6 Ma. The various short‐lived stages in the destruction of the South Caspian have potential for insight into the late stages of basin closure and the ...

On the Origin of the Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera)
Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 876-892, November 2026.ABSTRACT The hypothesis of a Gondwanian origin of the family Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera) has been promoted and seems to be generally accepted by specialists. However, the area of emergence and diversification of the clade, South American or Australian, is still debated and cannot be solved without integrating Vianaidinae, a subfamily considered as ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract Nearly half of Earth’s seasonal freshwater storage variability occurs in human‐managed reservoirs, resulting in large areas of reservoir‐bed that are episodically inundated or subaerially exposed. Here we use hyperspectral data from NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) mission to map calcite mineral assemblages across ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.Abstract Variations in melt supply can shift slow and ultraslow ridges between magmatic and tectonic accretion modes, but whether this effect persists at Earth's slowest‐spreading ridge remains unclear. The eastern Gakkel Ridge provides a critical test because it spreads at only ∼6–10 mm/yr yet shows anomalously strong magmatism.
