Schizothoracinae in Plateau River Networks: Drainage History, Polyploid Genome Evolution, Multi-Omics Evidence Chains, and Conservation Units [PDF]

Animals
The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and surrounding mountain regions form one of the world’s most distinctive freshwater environmental gradients. Schizothoracinae are among the most representative endemic fish lineages in these systems and provide a useful model ...

Topographic, lithospheric and lithologic controls on the transient landscape evolution after the opening of internally-drained basins. Modelling the North Iberian Neogene drainage

BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin, 2021
The opening of internally-drained (endorheic) sedimentary basins often leads to a major drainage change, re-excavation of the basin sedimentary infill, and transient landscape.

Impact of extreme debris flow-induced paleodamming events on the sedimentological evolution of the middle Yarlung Tsangpo River reaches since the late Pleistocene, Tibet

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
As extreme surface processes, long-term river damming and outburst events can impact sediment supply and transportation in valleys and therefore significantly change the landscape.

Phylogeography of a Typical Forest Heliothermic Lizard Reveals the Combined Influence of Rivers and Climate Dynamics on Diversification in Eastern Amazonia

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The formation of the Amazon drainage basin has been considered an important driver of speciation of several taxa, promoting vicariant events or reinforcement of barriers that restrict gene flow between opposite river margins.

Evolution of drainage patterns in active fold-thrust belts: A case study in the Qilian Mountains

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The Qilian Mountains are a typical active fold-thrust belt. A series of large and elongated drainage basins are oriented almost parallel to the Mountain Chain.

Early Cenozoic Drainage Evolution and Surface Uplift of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau: Insights From the Ninglang Basin

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The modern high topography of the eastern Tibetan Plateau is drained by several of the largest rivers on Earth, and exerts a prominent influence on the Asian monsoon pattern. However, when the high terrain was formed remains highly debated.

Transmissivity and groundwater flow exert a strong influence on drainage density [PDF]

Earth Surface Dynamics, 2022
The extent to which groundwater flow affects drainage density and erosion has long been debated but is still uncertain. Here, I present a new hybrid analytical and numerical model that simulates groundwater flow, overland flow, hillslope erosion and ...

Late Oligocene Formation of the Pearl River Triggered by the Opening of the South China Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Pearl River is one of the largest rivers entering the South China Sea, yet its initiation time remains debated, a topic we address using Pb isotopes in detrital K‐feldspar.

Evolution characteristics of reservoir parameters of drainage layer and adjacent layer in the process of gas drainage

Meikuang Anquan, 2021
Using a large-scale multi-field coupled coalbed methane exploitation physical simulation test system to carry out gas drainage test of close distance coal seams, and the evolution law of gas pressure, deformation and their coupling relationship of each ...

Cryptic diversity of African tigerfish (genus Hydrocynus) reveals palaeogeographic signatures of linked neogene geotectonic events. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The geobiotic history of landscapes can exhibit controls by tectonics over biotic evolution. This causal relationship positions ecologically specialized species as biotic indicators to decipher details of landscape evolution.
