Genomic Investigations Unveil the Genetic Underpinnings of Environmental Adaptation in African Goat Populations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study integrates genomics and landscape genetics to analyze African goat environmental adaptation. Analyzing 1591 samples, it finds population structure differentiates geographically into four groups, with gene flow between wild Yura goats and North Africans.

Impacts of extremely asymmetrical polar ice sheets on the East Asian summer monsoon during the MIS-13 interglacial

, 2020
Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 13 (~500 ka ago) was a relatively weak interglacial according to the benthic d18O and Antarctic ice core records. However, proxy records from the Northern Hemisphere indicate that MIS-13 was at least as warm as or even warmer ...

Response of Remote Tropical West Pacific Islands to Climate Variability: A Multiproxy Record From T‐Lake, Palau, Spanning the Early Holocene to Present

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

Frequent floods in the Yangtze River basin linked to a shifted Indian Ocean wave regime

Nature Communications
Six major summer monsoon floods occurred in the Yangtze Basin during 1992–2024 compared to only one during 1960–1991. This significant increase in hydroclimatic extremes, which affected millions of people, is closely linked to a 50% enhancement in quasi ...

Contrasting responses of summer precipitation to orbital forcing in Japan and China over the past 450 kyr [PDF]

Climate of the Past
Understanding orbital-scale changes in East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) precipitation is a fundamental issue in paleoclimate research as it helps assess the response of the East Asian monsoon to different climatic forcings, such as insolation, ice volume,

Climate‐driven niche filtering limits post‐dispersal establishment and genomic introgression in a riverine shrub

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrated biogeographic analysis and macroecological insights reveal that habitat differences drive genetic differentiation Debregeasia orientalis C. J. Chen, a dominant riparian shrub distributed across multiple biodiversity hotspots, and different lineages vary greatly in adaptability to future climate.

Clay mineralogical and geochemical proxies of the East Asian summer monsoon evolution in the South China Sea during Late Quaternary

, 2017
The East Asian summer monsoon controls the climatic regime of an extended region through temperature and precipitation changes. As the East Asian summer monsoon is primarily driven by the northern hemisphere summer insolation, such meteorological ...

Drought in the Asian summer monsoon region is liked to a weakened inter-hemispheric temperature gradient

Communications Earth & Environment
Understanding the causes of abrupt hydrologic declines in the Asian summer monsoon region may help limit the adverse effects of such events on the region’s economy and ecology.

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Geochemical records in the South China Sea: implications for East Asian summer monsoon evolution over the last 20 Ma

, 2010
We reconstruct past changes in the East Asian summer monsoon over the last 20 Ma using samples from Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1146 of Leg 184 in the northern South China Sea based on the major (Al, Ca, Na, K, Ti, etc.) and trace element (Rb, Sr ...
