Abstract Turbidites have been widely studied as indicators of the occurrences and magnitudes of paleo‐tsunamis and paleo‐earthquakes. Inversion to estimate flow conditions from turbidites offers valuable insights into the magnitudes of paleo‐seismic and tsunami events.

Plant conservation in a changing Mediterranean world
The Mediterranean is one of five climatic regions on the planet characterised by a prolonged summer drought, exceptional plant diversity and high rates of endemism. We provide a framework to link the ecology of plant species conservation in the context of rapid and extreme climate deregulation to a philosophical typology of temporal attitudes (i.e ...

Twelve available two-way time high-resolution seismic reflection profiles located in the central part of the middle Rhône valley are interpreted. In addition, one of the profiles was reprocessed to determine the P-wave velocities of the main geological ...

The aim of this work is to provide the vocal repertoire of the Ponto-Caspian goby Neogobius fluviatilis and to compare the acoustical properties of this species with those of the other soniferous Mediterranean gobies belonging to the so called “Gobius ...

Messinian paleoenvironmental evolution in the lower Guadalquivir Basin (SW Spain) based on benthic foraminifera. [PDF]
Benthic foraminiferal assemblages of a drill core from the lower Guadalquivir Basin (northern Gulf of Cádiz, SW Spain) have been analyzed in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental evolution in the vicinity of the Betic seaways during the Messinian ...

Abstract During the latest Miocene, the Mediterranean Basin was affected by extreme paleoceanographic and paleoenvironmental changes culminating with evaporite (gypsum and halite) formation during the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC: 5.97–5.33 Ma).

The extent of desiccation in deep enclosed basins has been debated for over 50 years. Here we combine seismic, biostratigraphic, and strontium isotope data to document a deep desiccation event across the Red Sea basin that ended 6.2 million years ago ...

Historical isolation versus recent long-distance connections between Europe and Africa in bifid toadflaxes (Linaria sect. Versicolores). [PDF]
BackgroundDue to its complex, dynamic and well-known paleogeography, the Mediterranean region provides an ideal framework to study the colonization history of plant lineages. The genus Linaria has its diversity centre in the Mediterranean region, both in

Geography-related sub-generic diversity within the Mediterranean trapdoor spider genus Nemesia (Araneae, Mygalomorphae, Nemesiidae) [PDF]
Three different male and female super-specific types are distinguished according to variations in the morphology of the bulb and spermathecae within the genus Nemesia Audouin, 1826.

Georges Clauzon and the Messinian salinity crisis
Georges Clauzon was maitre-Assistant at the University of Aix-en-Provence, associated to a Departement of Geography in the early seventies. Apparently, he worked all by himself in the Maritimes Alps, trying to unravel the causes of some strange anomalies he noticed in the paleogeo-morphology and in the karst topography of Mesozoic carbonates.
