Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

A new hoverfly genus from the Oligocene of France with unusual morphology
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaHere, we describe Intricodon cryptodaemoniacus, a new fossil genus and species of hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae), representing the second described hoverfly from the middle Oligocene of Céreste (Luberon, Southern France). It has unique, highly specialized

On the phytogeography of coniferales in the European cenozoic [PDF]
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1967 It has been shown that there were more coniferous genera to be found in Europe during the Tertiary than there are at the present-day. Some of the genera now occur only in America and the Far East. Many such genera were present in the Neogene of Europe and one of these, Tsuga, remained in Europe into the Late Pleistocene. Other genera found in Europe at

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia
Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

TaxonomyWe describe four new species of the fossil genus Dapalis (Ambassidae), Dapalis absconditus sp. nov., Dapalis octospinus sp. nov., Dapalis parvus sp. nov. and Dapalis quintus sp. nov., based on articulated skeletons with otoliths in situ from a freshwater

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Late Cenozoic intraplate faulting in eastern Australia [PDF]
, 2014 The intensity and tectonic origin of late Cenozoic intraplate deformation in eastern Australia is relatively poorly understood. Here we show that Cenozoic volcanic rocks in southeast Queensland have been deformed by numerous faults.
