Mantle flows driving tectonic escape around eastern Himalaya syntaxis. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Plate subduction exerts a strong influence over the tectonic evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis (EHS) due to the substantial heterogeneity of plate contacts over space and time. The variability in tectonic escapes around EHS presents challenges for understanding the primary drivers.

Testing the Resource Hypothesis of Species–Area Relationships: Extinction Cannot Work Alone

Microorganisms, 2022
The mechanisms that underpin the species–area relationship (SAR) are crucial for both the development of biogeographic theory and the application of biodiversity conservation.

Revived Amplicon Sequence Variants Monitoring in Closed Systems Identifies More Dormant Microorganisms

Microorganisms, 2023
The large number of dormant microorganisms present in the environment is an important component of microbial diversity, and neglecting dormant microorganisms would be disruptive to all research under the science of microbial diversity.

Independence Effects of Heat and Ash on Forest Soil Nematode-Trapping Fungi Communities

Fire, 2023
Heat input and ash residues are main components of vegetation fire disturbances. Understanding the distinct impacts of heat and ash on soil microorganisms is crucial to comprehend and predict the induced changes in soil ecosystem composition and dynamics

Extinction drives a discontinuous temporal pattern of species–area relationships in a microbial microcosm system

Scientific Reports, 2023
As the most potential ecological "law", the mechanism of the species-area relationship (SAR) remains controversial. Essentially, the SAR addresses the relationship between regional area and biodiversity, shaped by speciation, extinction and dispersal ...

The Discontinuous Elevational Distribution of an Ungulate at the Regional Scale: Implications for Speciation and Conservation

Animals, 2021
The elevational range where montane species live is a key factor of spatial niche partitioning, because the limits of such ranges are influenced by interspecies interaction, abiotic stress, and dispersal barriers.

Conidia Fusion: A Mechanism for Fungal Adaptation to Nutrient-Poor Habitats

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Conidia fusion (CF) is a commonly observed structure in fungi. However, it has not been systematically studied. This study examined 2457 strains of nematode-trapping fungi (NTF) to explore the species specificity, physiological period, and physiological ...
