Stochastic Resonance Elucidates the Emergence and Periodicity Transition of Glacial Cycles
Abstract Glacial cycles emerged with a 41‐kyr period after the Pliocene and later intensified with a 100‐kyr period in the mid‐Pleistocene, which were attributed to Earth's orbital variations. However, no significant changes in the orbital forcing were found at the two transitions, and the forcing was too small to drive these cycles. Here, a stochastic

Altered Ocean Temperature Gradients Are Key to Miocene South Asian Monsoon Evolution
Abstract Indian Ocean sea surface temperature (SST) gradients influence South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) strength. Middle Miocene proxy records show reversed Arabian Sea zonal gradients (warmer west than east) and reduced Indian Ocean meridional gradients compared to today—patterns coupled models cannot reproduce, hindering accurate SASM simulation ...

We assessed current and future habitat suitability for the vulnerable conifer Fokienia hodginsii across the Wuyi Mountains using climate, soil, and human footprint data, comparing four species distribution models and selecting MaxEnt as best. Climate—especially temperature ranges—dominated suitability, while soil and human influence were secondary ...

Based on community data and the space‐for‐time‐substitution (SFTS) approach, this study shows that both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity follow a cosine pattern during succession, with PD peaking earlier than TD. Community stability increases as niche differentiation strengthens, with competitive exclusion dominating early and late stages, and ...

Employing MaxEnt modeling, this research projects shifts in the potential suitable habitat range of Cercidiphyllum japonicum under climate change trajectories. Analysis identifies temperature and precipitation as dominant drivers governing habitat distribution, with models indicating significant range contraction throughout the forecast period ...

Background. The lower-middle course of the Selennyakh River in the Momsky and Abyisky districts of the Republic of Sakha, Yakutia, is characterized by a wide distribution of alluvial gold placers. The absence of obvious potential primary sources of these

The study presents the first complete chloroplast genome of Lycium shawii (PQ824997.1) spanning 155,936 bp and contains 128 genes (84 protein‐coding genes, 36 tRNAs, and eight rRNAs). Nucleotide diversity analysis highlighted atpI, rbcL, and accD as hypervariable loci suitable for DNA barcoding. Molecular dating analysis revealed that L.

Comparison between observed and predicted landslide areas in log scale. ABSTRACT This study aims to establish a regional model for predicting seismic landslide areas. Using the 2013 Minxian earthquake‐induced landslide database as the research foundation, mathematical statistics and GIS techniques were applied to predict landslide areas through the ...
