Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

Cladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

The Parched Earth of Cooperation: How to Solve the Tragedy of the Commons in International Environmental Governance [PDF]

, 2016
This article proposes a way to strengthen international environmental agreements, such as the Paris Agreement and the Kyoto Protocol. Multilateral environmental agreements such as these are extremely fragile.

Geographic and Genomic Signatures of a Dynamic Evolutionary History in Lake Tanganyika's Synodontis Catfish Radiation

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Lacustrine systems generally exhibit greater habitat stability than riverine systems, yet some lakes have experienced substantial lake‐level fluctuations throughout the Pleistocene. These environmental perturbations repeatedly altered habitat availability critical to the evolution of their diverse fish communities.

Underexplored diversity of gill monogeneans in cichlids from Lake Tanganyika: eight new species of Cichlidogyrus Paperna, 1960 (Monogenea: Dactylogyridae) from the northern basin of the lake, with remarks on the vagina and the heel of the male copulatory organ

Parasites & Vectors, 2017
Background Lake Tanganyika harbours the most diverse cichlid assemblage of the Great African Lakes. Considering its cichlid flocks consist of approximately 250 endemic species, we can hypothesize a high species-richness in their often quite host-specific

Seasons and seasonality in lakes: A synthesis amid global change

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, March 2026.
Abstract Seasonality in environmental conditions plays a fundamental role in shaping lake ecosystems. However, patterns of seasonality vary worldwide, and these patterns are shifting over time amid global change. Thus, it is increasingly important to evaluate how seasons and seasonality are represented in lake ecosystem research.

The Savage Worlds of Henry Drummond (1851–1897): Science, Racism and Religion in the Work of a Popular Evolutionist

Journal of Religious History, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 77-95, March 2026.
The savage was a familiar as well as deeply problematic figure in late‐Victorian literary and scientific imaginaries. Savages provided an unstable but capacious and flexible signifier to explore human development and human difference, most often in ways that followed a disturbing racial logic.

Unprecedented Burning in Tropical Peatlands During the 20th Century Compared to the Previous Two Millennia

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study reveals unprecedented burning in tropical peatlands during the 20th century, mainly expressed in the Indomalayan and Australasian regions, emphasising regional variability in peatland burning and its links to modern human activities. Before this period, tropical peatland burning largely followed changes in global temperature and was ...

Understanding the 3D Hydrodynamics of Lake Tanganyika: Insights From Modeling Circulation Patterns Using a 3D ROMS Model

Geophysical Research Letters
This study simulates circulation patterns in Lake Tanganyika, an economically vital lake in East and Central Africa that has experienced significant warming, and reduced fishery yields in recent decades.

Hidden lineages in the African Sky Islands: A taxonomic reevaluation of Afrocarduus (Compositae)

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 401-420, March 2026.
Species delimitation is crucial for biodiversity studies. Using Hyb‐Seq and phylogenomics, we reassessed Afrocarduus, endemic to Afromontane and Afroalpine regions, uncovering 16 evolutionary lineages (2.3 Mya). Morphological data support their distinctiveness, with acaulescence evolving independently twice. The traditionally broad A.

Geologic hypotheses of Lake Tanganyika region, Zaire, drawn from ERTS imagery [PDF]

Based on initial work in the Lake Tanganyika area of eastern Zaire, it has been concluded that ERTS imagery is extremely useful for reconnaissance level geologic mapping and analysis in this region of the humid tropics.
