Spatial distribution patterns and formation of global spermatophytes

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Summary: The global Spermatophyte Spatial Evolutionary System defines 18 distribution types and six supertypes across three floristic elements, primarily formed between the Eocene and Miocene and shaped by climate, long‐distance dispersal, and tectonic movement, revealing that similar distribution patterns of spermatophytes were driven by comparable ...

The Distribution of Major and Trace Elements Across a Garnet Population From the Kalak Nappe Complex (Finnmark, Scandinavian Caledonides): Evidence for Size‐Dependent Growth and Compositional Equilibration in the Garnet Zone

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A garnet population from the lower Kalak Nappe Complex in Finnmark (Arctic Norway) was characterized using high‐resolution X‐ray micro‐computed tomography, electron probe micro‐analysis and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry mapping to assess the extent of compositional equilibration and the controlling crystallization

Differences in Milk Production Efficiency and Physiology Between Lactating Holstein Cows and Yaks Born and Kept at About 4000 m of Altitude When Fed the Same Diet

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yaks (Bos grunniens) have developed numerous mechanisms to cope with hypoxic environments. Still, as their milk yield is low, the use of production systems building on dairy breeds at high altitude might increase efficiency, but this has not yet been explored.

The dynamics of cave roost use by bats in the central Himalayas of Nepal: implications for conservation

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Cave use by bats in the central Himalayas shows elevational and seasonal patterning wherein species richness is higher in early spring compared to mid‐winter. The species that occupy these systems prefer a warmer microclimate as winter progresses to spring (i.e., from hibernation phase to reproduction phase).
