The impact of the structural framework of the North German Basin on Pleistocene tunnel‐valley formation

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
This study contains a comprehensive regional analysis of the orientations of tunnel valleys, faults and salt structures in the North German Basin, aiming to identify correlations that might indicate a structural control on tunnel‐valley formation. A structural control on tunnel‐valley formation has been repeatedly postulated and correlations have been ...

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales)

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

The Southern Beeches: an introduction to the genus Nothofagus Blume.

open access: yesCurtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary An overview of the genus Nothofagus is provided, covering the history of its discovery for science, the fossil record and its taxonomy and systematics. The disputed split of the genus is discussed. A summary description for the genus is presented, alongside a list of known hybrids.

Evaluating migration hypotheses for the extinct Glyptotherium using ecological niche modeling

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The formation of the Isthmus of Panama allowed for migrations between the once separated continents of North and South America. This led to one of the greatest documented interchanges of biota in Earth history, wherein an array of species across many groups migrated between the continents.

Latitudinal patterns and climatic drivers of Laurasian and Gondwanan angiosperm tree distributions in forests of the Americas

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
The biogeographic affinity of a lineage leaves imprint on its niche, and influences its distribution under biotic interchange between landmasses. Since the beginning of the Quaternary, North America (a remnant of Laurasia) and South America (a remnant of Gondwana) have been united, and triggered the Great American Biotic Interchange.

If the tape were played again: convergent evolution of clade sizes and taxonomic composition in two tropical assemblages of Coleoptera

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Communities of insects around the world consist of unique sets of species that have evolved under different historical processes of assembly and lineage diversification. Whole‐community phylogenetics can partition the shared and uniquely derived evolutionary history across sites.
