Evolution of Crematogaster sordidula (Hymenoptera, Formicidae) Ants in the Mediterranean Region During Plio‐Pleistocene Climatic Changes

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 615-638, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...

Alaskan Ridge Blocking and Associated Winter Cold Conditions Over North America

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
Multi‐decadal (1979–2023) analysis reveals that wintertime reductions in the meridional gradient of potential vorticity (PVy) over the Bering Sea are recurrent but episodic features of North Pacific circulation. These suppressed PVy states consistently co‐occur with amplified Alaskan ridging, weakened mid‐tropospheric westerlies and a downstream warm ...

ERA5‐Based Convective Environments Favorable for Tornadoes in Southern China

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Tornado occurrences vary significantly across regions in the globe, attributable in part to variations in regional climate and topography. This study analyzes the long‐term convective environments associated with tornadoes in southern China, a region previously identified as having the most favorable meteorological conditions for tornadoes ...

Earlier Flash Drought Onset Driven by Spring Vegetation Greening and Warming

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The onset timing of the flash drought season (TO) critically determines whether these rapid‐intensifying events coincide with sensitive stages of vegetation growth, as droughts occurring early in the growing season can severely undermine ecosystem productivity. However, how TO has evolved under climate change remains unclear.

Seismic Evidence for Slab Tearing Beneath the Indo‐Myanmar Subduction Zone

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Slab tearing has been increasingly recognized as a key geodynamic process influencing the evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis. However, whether, where and how the subducted Indian slab beneath the Indo‐Myanmar subduction zone has been torn remains poorly constrained.
