The complex interaction between mammalian herbivores, climate, soil and fire has shaped the evolution and distribution of plant spinescence across biogeographical realms

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Evolution of spinescence in mimosoid legumes. Summary The evolutionary arms race between plants and herbivores led to numerous plant adaptations, including spinescence. However, the balance between herbivory and abiotic conditions in the evolution of spinescence remains unclear. We integrated phylogenetic, geographic, and trait data for 2686 species of

Diagenetic controls on porosity evolution and pore type organisation in microporous carbonate rocks: Evidence for mesogenetic porosity formation

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microporous carbonate rocks typically record complex diagenetic histories driven by microbial activity and fluid interactions within multiple diagenetic environments. The relative roles of meteoric and burial diagenetic processes in pore evolution remain debated, particularly within Cretaceous carbonate systems of the Middle East, as does the ...

Lower Miocene echinoderms of Jamaica, West Indies

, 2005
Despite being diverse globally, Miocene echinoids are poorly known from Jamaica. Moderately diverse echinoids and other echinoderms have been identified mainly from fragmentary specimens collected from chalks and mass-flow deposits of the Lower Miocene Montpelier Formation, White Limestone Group, near Duncans, parish of Trelawny.

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.

Porosity Preservation in Deeply Buried (8500 m) Jurassic Calcareous Mudstones of the Vienna Basin (Austria)

Terra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Significant porosity of more than 5% was found at depths of more than 8500 m in poorly sorted, calcareous mudstones of the Malmian Mikulov Formation. These overpressured rocks are the main hydrocarbon source rock in the Vienna Basin. Core samples from present‐day depths of 8150 m to 8550 m were analysed using X‐ray diffraction and scanning ...

Colonisation History of Freshwater Snails Across the Atlantic and Mediterranean Islands: Insights From Mercuria (Littorinimorpha, Hydrobiidae)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Islands harbour unique biodiversity, and depending on their geological origin, they have fundamentally different colonisation histories: continental islands may contain relict faunas shaped by vicariance and sporadic gene flow, whereas oceanic islands must have been colonised across open seas, often through long‐distance dispersal events ...

On the Origin of the Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera)

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of a Gondwanian origin of the family Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera) has been promoted and seems to be generally accepted by specialists. However, the area of emergence and diversification of the clade, South American or Australian, is still debated and cannot be solved without integrating Vianaidinae, a subfamily considered as ...
