Inferring bird migration from bone isotopes and histology: A fossil‐friendly methodological framework

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 531-553, February 2026.
Abstract Bird seasonal migration is a remarkable biogeographic phenomenon, yet its deep‐time origin(s) and evolutionary history remain poorly understood, with the bird fossil record largely overlooked. This study explores the predictability of bird migratory behaviour from the oxygen isotope composition of their bone apatite phosphate (δ18Op), a ...

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

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 79-94, February 2026.
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 ...

Biogeographic Regions Within Indomalaya: An Integrated Approach Using Bird Distributions

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biogeographic regions define areas of shared species distributions and provide a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses. Recent quantitative methods have improved the delineation of these regions, but each relies on assumptions about how species distributions are summarised and varies in sensitivity to spatial scale.

Magnetostratigraphy and Source Characterisation Across the Early Miocene Unconformity, Northern Rocky Mountains, USA

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 1-8, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The early Miocene unconformity (EMU) formed during a transition in the tectonic regime of western North America that coincided with faunal diversification. The Railroad Canyon section in the northern Rocky Mountains provides a complete geologic record around this event. Our new magnetostratigraphic study in combination with published U‐Pb ages

New Geochronological Constraints on the Late Palaeozoic Tarija Basin, Southern Bolivia: Tectonic and Palaeoclimatic Implications

open access: yesTerra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 9-18, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Carboniferous‐Permian Tarija basin of southern Bolivia evolved under major tectonic and climatic influence. The timing of transition from glacially influenced to arid conditions, after the Gondwanide tectonic event, has been based mainly on palynological correlations.
