Morphometric divergence in Cyprideis (Ostracoda) during the Middle and Late Miocene of the Central Paratethys realm [PDF]

Journal of Micropalaeontology
A morphometric outline analysis of the brackish-water ostracod Cyprideis examines a 2.0-million-year period during which the Central Paratethys region underwent significant geographic and environmental transformations.

THE DEEPWATER BONY FISH FAUNA FROM THE LATE BADENIAN (SERRAVALLIAN) OF WALBERSDORF, AUSTRIA - RECONSTRUCTED WITH OTOLITHS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
Otolith associations have been extensively described from the Badenian (Langhian to early Serravallian) of the Central Paratethys. During the late Badenian (early Serravallian), the basin was strongly segmented, and the faunal composition of its biota ...

The middle miocene (Badenian) holoplanktonic mollusks (Euthecosomata - Pteropoda) from Serbia, central paratethys [PDF]

Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva
The present paper deals with holoplanktonic gastropods (Pteropoda) from the Middle Miocene (Badenian) deposits of Serbia. The material for the present study comes from three localities at the southern margin of the Pannonian Basin (Central Paratethys ...

Evidence of Cheliped Autotomy and Regeneration in the Lower Miocene Crab Achelous monspeliensis From Portugal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Crab autotomy with evidence of regeneration is described for the first time in the fossil record. Autotomy is a defensive behavior that affects more males than females of Achelous monspeliensis and may be related to mating season. ABSTRACT Autotomy—the voluntary shedding of a limb as a defensive response to predation, intraspecific aggression, or ...

Global Expansion of Ponto‐Caspian Aquatic Invaders: Drivers, Trends and Taxonomic Biases in a Changing World

Freshwater Biology, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions pose major threats to ecosystems, with aquatic habitats particularly vulnerable due to high connectivity and biodiversity. The Ponto‐Caspian region is widely recognised as a major source of highly invasive non‐native aquatic species, yet a global synthesis of their spatial, taxonomic and temporal invasion patterns has been

Phylogenetic analysis and the recognition of a new genus for Mexican Crassulaceae segregated from Echeveria

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Systematic knowledge of the Mexican Crassulaceae is slowly progressing as data from new DNA regions and species sampling efforts increase. We compiled and generated new rbcL, matK, rps16, ITS/ITS2, and ETS DNA sequences and performed an updated phylogenetic reconstruction for a group of 131 Mexican Crassulaceae terminals from 11 of the 13 ...

Representation of obligate groundwater‐dwelling copepod diversity in European protected areas

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Groundwaters sustain diverse surface ecosystems and are populated by metazoan species, mostly invertebrates, that provide fundamental ecological functions and are often of prominent conservation value due to narrow endemism and high phylogenetic rarity.

Depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a Permian megalake system: Implications for seiche‐influenced models

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

Porgy fish teeth in Miocene marl from Mastni hrib near Škocjan, Slovenia

Geologija, 2014
The article discusses fossil porgy fish teeth found in Middle Miocene (Badenian) sandy marl from Mastni hrib near Škocjan in Dolenjska. The teeth belong to the species Pagrus cinctus (Agassiz, 1836) and represent the first find in the Krka basin.
