Biostratigraphic constraints for a Lutetian age of the Harrersdorf Unit (Rhenodanubian Zone): Implication for basement structure of the northern Vienna Basin (Austria)

Geologica Carpathica, 2019
The formations underlying the Neogene infill of the Vienna Basin are still poorly documented. Until now correlation of subsurface lithostratigraphic units with those of the Rhenodanubian nappe system and the Magura nappe system, outcropping at the basin ...

Tibet, the Himalaya, Asian monsoons and biodiversity - In what ways are they related? [PDF]

, 2017
Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago in the Neogene. Here, spanning the last 60 million years of Earth

New fossil taxa of Monophlebidae (Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea) from Baltic amber

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
The family Monophlebidae is distributed worldwide and is classified as one of the "archaeococcoid" families. After almost 160 years since Germar & Berendt (1856) described the first and so far only fossil monophlebid species, Monophlebus irregularis, two

A Predictive Algorithm For Wetlands In Deep Time Paleoclimate Models [PDF]

, 2019
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas produced in wetland environments via microbial action in anaerobic conditions. If the location and extent of wetlands are unknown, such as for the Earth many millions of years in the past, a model of wetland fraction ...

Geometric morphometrics of endophytic oviposition traces of Odonata (Eocene, Argentina) [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
The insertion of the Odonata ovipositor in the plant tissue generates a scar that surrounds the eggs (trace). In insects, individual egg traces are known to vary in size, but their variation in individual shape is mostly unknown.

Molecular and fossil evidence place the origin of cichlid fishes long after Gondwanan rifting. [PDF]

, 2013
Cichlid fishes are a key model system in the study of adaptive radiation, speciation and evolutionary developmental biology. More than 1600 cichlid species inhabit freshwater and marginal marine environments across several southern landmasses.

Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

Searching for the Terrestrial Paleocene/Eocene Boundary at the Canadian High Arctic: A Carbon Isotope Study [PDF]

, 2007
The Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is a rare climatic event in the history of the Earth, which marks the abrupt transition from the Paleocene to Eocene of the Cenozoic era with a rapid increase in global surface temperatures of up to 5-8&#;C ...
