Middle to Late Pleistocene landscape evolution and glacial dynamics in the Eastern Alps: the Gröbminger Mitterberg record, Austria

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial erosion during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has removed much evidence of earlier glaciations and interglacials in the European Alps. At Gröbminger Mitterberg (GM), beneath a blanket of LGM till, a distinctive sediment archive preserves deposits predating the LGM.

Termites (Isoptera) from the Jurassic/Cretaceous boundary: Evidence for the longevity of their earliest genera

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
The earliest termite of the extant genus Mastotermes, is herein recorded in the Jurassic/Cretaceous (J/K) transitional beds of Chernovskie Kopi in Transbaikalian Russia along with Santonitermes of an uncertain family. These records represent the earliest

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Size, not phylogeny, explains the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth in the crown clade Crocodylia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 558-574, April 2025.
Here, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia
