CRICETODONTINI FROM THE EARLY MIOCENE OF ANATOLIA

Bulletin Of The Mineral Research and Exploration, 2016
Cricetodon and Deperetomys from the early Miocene localities Soke, Dededag (Aydin), Kinik, Harta (Manisa) Western Anatolia and Yapinti (Icel) Southern Anatolia are studied. Seven species, four of which are new, are described: Cricetodon trallesensis n. sp., Cricetodon fikreti n. sp., Cricetodon magnesiensis n. sp., Cricetodon yapintiensis n.

Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Microfacies, depositional environment and carbonate association of the Asmari Formation in Tang-e-Gojestan [PDF]

Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches
The Asmari Formation was logged and sampled in the Tang-e-Gojestan stratigraphic section (Eshgar Anticline, Izeh Zone) to study microfacies, depositional environment and carbonate associations. The Asmari Formation with 298 m-thickness mainly consists of

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
