Occurrence and evolution of cannibal behaviour in extant snakes

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 644-664, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Extant snakes (Serpentes) are a highly diverse group of squamate reptiles, which have independently evolved key morphological adaptations to consume a large variety of vertebrate and invertebrate prey. While these predator–prey interactions have been widely addressed by several studies, little is known regarding the occurrence of cannibal ...

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

The outward growth of the arcuate tectonic belt in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau: Insights from three-dimensional finite element numerical simulations

Dizhi lixue xuebao
Objective  The arcuate tectonic belt in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau is a unique boundary for the lateral growth of the Tibetan Plateau. Characterized by an arcuate geomorphology with alternating basins and mountains perpendicular to the direction of

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

Journal of Petroleum Geology, Volume 49, Issue 2, Page 312-345, April 2026.
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.

Three Centuries of ENSO Variability Inferred From Muna, Sulawesi, Indonesia Teak δ18O: Limited Response to Radiative Forcing

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract We present an annual resolution oxygen isotope anomaly (Δδ18 ${\Delta }{\delta }^{18}$Oc) record, derived from eight teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) tree ring‐dated δ18 ${\delta }^{18}$Oc series from Muna, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia (5.3° ${}^{\circ}$S, 123° ${}^{\circ}$E).

Differential Craton Destruction Controlled by Fossil Structures in the Central North China Craton

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Craton evolution plays a fundamental role in stabilizing the continental lithosphere and the long‐term evolution of Earth's surface environment. The Shanxi Rift Zone (SRZ) within the North China Craton marks an ongoing craton destruction. Detailed lithospheric structure is essential to explain craton destruction.

A 500‐kyr Pluvial Interval Triggered Lacustrine Carbon Burial in Late Cretaceous East Asia

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The early Late Cretaceous hothouse was featured by intense storms and a prevailing monsoon climate, yet direct evidence for regional extreme precipitation events is rare. Here, we reconstruct local weathering and hydrological processes using magnesium and strontium isotopes (δ26Mg and 87Sr/86Sr) from lacustrine dolostones in the Upper ...

Two‐Stage Dolomite Formation in Carbonate Platforms Revealed by Carbonate Clumped Isotope Thermometry

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract The “dolomite problem” refers to the scarcity of dolomite in Cenozoic marine environments compared with its abundance in earlier strata. This discrepancy has been attributed to changes in marine environments or to insufficient thermal maturity required for dolomite formation.

Constraints on Past CO2 and Climate Sensitivity From Global Temperature and Sea Level Reconstructions Across the Plio‐Pleistocene

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract In contrast to previous approaches, new reconstructions of changes in global mean surface temperature and global mean sea level (GMSL) include large variability in GMSL throughout the Pleistocene. Here we assess these reconstructions from an energy balance perspective by using them to force a global carbon cycle model in different scenarios ...

Holocene Hydroclimatic Variations Over Western and Central Asia as Inferred From Speleothem Isotope Evidence

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Recent studies have found a dipole pattern of hydroclimate variation in western Asia (WA) and arid central Asia (ACA) during the Holocene. However, speleothem δ18O evidence shows some inconsistencies with other lines of evidence, especially concerning the timing of peak wetness in WA and precipitation trends in ACA.
