Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

The Late Early–Middle Pleistocene Mammal Fauna from the Megalopolis Basin (Peloponnese, Greece) and Its Importance for Biostratigraphy and Paleoenvironment

Quaternary
Recent investigations in the upper Lower–Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Megalopolis Basin (Greece) led to the discovery of several sites/findspots with abundant faunal material. Here, we provide an updated overview including new results on the micro-

Non-biface assemblages in Middle Pleistocene Western Europe. A comparative study

, 2011
This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the Clactonian assemblages of Middle Pleistocene souther Britain. By exploring other non-biface assemblages (NBAs) reported from elsewhere in Europe it seeks to illuminate our understanding of the

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Subsurface geology of the Torino metropolitan area (Westernmost Po Plain, NW Italy)

Journal of Maps
The 1:100,000 subsurface geological map of the Torino metropolitan area covers ∼900 km2 in the westernmost Po Plain, an area of great relevance being crossed by the late Neogene to Quaternary ‘Torino Hill Front’ (THF), a tens of kilometers long, NW ...

Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...
