The Role of the Middle East in the Biogeographical Dispersal of Host‐Specific Parasites: Monogeneans and Their Cyprinoid Fish Hosts

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigates the diversity and phylogeny of Dactylogyrus species in the Middle East, as well as uncovers the historical dispersal routes and biogeographical contacts of cyprinoid host species using their host‐specific parasites. Location The Middle East. Taxon Dactylogyrus (Dactylogyridae: Monogenea), Cyprinoidei (Cypriniformes).

Lower Miocene fishes and turtle from Žvarulje near Mlinše, Slovenia (Central Paratethys)

Geologija, 2013
The article discusses fossil finds of Miocene vertebrates from the vicinity of Žvarulje near Mlinše in Central Slovenia. The fossils were found in the Lower Miocene Govce formation. Most common in the assemblage were tooth coronas, usually without their root parts of cartilaginous fishes, belonging to the genera Notorynchus, Carcharias, Cosmopolitodus,

Evolution of Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) Across the Palearctic Mountains: The Biogeographical Links Between the Caucasus and Adjacent Ranges, Central Asia and the Himalayas

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 870-883, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The biodiversity of the highest Palearctic mountains is extraordinary, yet its evolution and biogeographic links from a global perspective remain poorly understood. This study focuses on the diversification and biogeography of mayflies (Ephemeroptera) distributed across several prominent mountain ranges, including the Caucasus and adjacent ...

The mid-Langhian flooding in the eastern Central Paratethys: integrated stratigraphic data from the Transylvanian Basin and SE Carpathian Foredeep [PDF]

International Journal of Earth Sciences, 2019
The mid-Langhian (“Badenian”) flooding fully reconnected the semi-isolated Central Paratethys realm with the Mediterranean and, thereby, drastically changed the middle Miocene paleogeography of Central Europe. Due to the scattered stratigraphic record and scarcity of independent age constraints in some areas, the precise age and underlying mechanism ...

Dental Microwear and Diets of Late Miocene Primates From Rudabánya, Hungary

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 1, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study focuses on a dental microwear texture analysis of European pliopithecids and dryopithecins from the Miocene primate site of Rudabánya, Hungary. The goal is to determine whether these taxa, found in part together in the same deposits, differed in their food preferences, or at least consumed, on a daily basis, in a manner ...

The relative roles of CO2 and palaeogeography in determining Late Miocene climate: results from a terrestrial model-data comparison [PDF]

, 2012
The Late Miocene (∼11.6–5.3 Ma) palaeorecord provides evidence for a warmer and wetter climate than that of today and there is uncertainty in the palaeo-CO2 record of at least 150 ppmv.

Changes of Poleward Oceanic Heat and Salt Transport Associated With the Central Eurasian Seaway During the Early Paleogene

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract During the early Paleogene, the Arctic Ocean existed in a warm yet restricted freshwater regime, with episodic strong freshening leading to proliferation of the freshwater‐adapted Azolla at basal middle Eocene times (49–48 Ma). The Kara Strait, located between the Arctic Ocean and the West Siberian Sea (WSS), facilitated an open central ...

A major reorganization of Asian climate by the early Miocene [PDF]

, 2008
The global climate system experienced a series of drastic changes during the Cenozoic. In Asia, these include the climate transformation from a zonal pattern to a <i>monsoon-dominated pattern</i>, the disappearance of typical subtropical ...

Quantifying the Mediterranean freshwater budget throughout the late Miocene:New implications for sapropel formation and the Messinian Salinity Crisis [PDF]

, 2017
The cyclic sedimentary record of the late Miocene Mediterranean shows a clear transition from open marine to restricted conditions and finally to evaporitic environments associated with the Messinian Salinity Crisis. This evolution has been attributed to
