Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequencing of Asian Glass Lizards (Anguidae: Dopasia): Comparative Analysis With Limbless Anguids and New Insights Into the Adaptive Evolution of Protein‐Coding Genes [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) plays a critical role in energy production and is frequently subject to positive selection due to its impact on adaptive evolution.

Sedimentary Mercury Enrichments as a Tracer of Large Igneous Province Volcanism
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 247-262., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Correspondence: Numerical modelling of the PERM anomaly and the Emeishan large igneous province [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2017 Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are the result of catastrophic melting in the upper mantle, and by reconstructing their positions over the past 300 Myr it has been shown that most LIPs—including the 260 Myrs old Emeishan LIP in South China—probably originated from plumes at the edges of two large low-velocity regions in the lowermost mantle. In a recent

Mantle Plume‐Lithosphere Interactions Beneath the Emeishan Large Igneous Province
Geophysical Research LettersThe formation of large igneous provinces (LIPs) has been widely believed to be linked to mantle plume activity. However, how the plume modifies the overlying lithosphere, particularly its compositional structure, remains uncertain.

Translithospheric magma plumbing system fossilized in the Emeishan large igneous province
Communications Earth & EnvironmentLighting up the magma plumbing system beneath a large igneous province (LIP) is challenging because the complex magma migration paths are often covered by flood basalts and sediments.

Pre-eruptive uplift in the Emeishan? [PDF]
Nature Geoscience, 2009 In their correspondence, He and colleagues question our conclusion of little or no uplift preceding Emeishan volcanism that we reported in our letter1. Debate concerns the nature of the contact between the Maokou limestone and Emeishan volcanics, the depositional environment and volumetric significance of mafic hydromagmatic deposits (MHDs), and ...

Mantle roots of the Emeishan plume: an evaluation based on teleseismic P-wave tomography [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2017 The voluminous magmatism associated with large igneous provinces (LIPs) is commonly correlated to upwelling plumes from the core–mantle boundary (CMB). Here we analyse seismic tomographic data from the Emeishan LIP in southwestern China.
