Лëд и снег, 2015 In this article we present the reconstruction of fluctuations of Alibek valley glacier situated in the Teberda valley, Western Caucasus. The former positions of glacier of the past 120 years were reconstructed basing on the old photographs of 1904, 1921,

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Invasive gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) have replaced the native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) across much of Great Britain over the last century. Several factors have been proposed to underlie this replacement, but here we investigated the potential for dietary competition in which gray squirrels have better feeding performance than ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Egyptian Journal of Remote Sensing and Space SciencesTemporal variations in glacier velocity are not only essential to understand glacier dynamics but also to predict glacier hazards. Therefore, in the current study, the continuous glacier velocities were estimated from 2014 to 2023 in the Nathorstbreen ...

Glacier fluctuations and climates in the Himalayas.
Journal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1989 Glacier fluctuations during the Holocene in the Himalayas are compared with those in the world. Characteristics of glacier mass balance in the Nepal Himalaya, which belongs to the summer-accumulation type, are described. And the glacier fluctuations after the Little Ice Age in the Nepal Himalaya are discussed on the basis of variation of summer air ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Lateglacial to Early Holocene glacier fluctuations in the northern Valaisian Alps
Swiss Journal of GeosciencesThe northern Valaisian Alps represents a glacially overprinted landscape, characterized by abundant glacial deposits and landforms. Well-preserved moraine systems, commonly found in the region, were deposited by glacier fluctuations after the Last ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract As habitat salinity markedly differs between the endangered, freshwater‐dwelling Saimaa ringed seal (Pusa saimensis Nordquist, 1899) and the brackish water‐inhabiting Baltic ringed seal (Pusa hispida botnica Gmelin, 1788), we investigated whether this difference has resulted in morphological changes to their kidneys.
