The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

The Neogene lakes on the Balkan land [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2012 Palaeogeographic maps of the lacustrine Miocene and Pliocene have been constructed according to all the known geological data. The Lakes of the Balkan Land, depending on the tectonics, migrated due to causes from the deep subsurface.

Impact of recent climate variability on an aquifer system in north Belgium [PDF]
, 2012 The last decade it has been realised that climate and global change can (and very likely will affect) groundwater reserves. This will have impact on both the economical (groundwater exploitation) and ecological (ecosystems) aspects of aquifer systems.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.Integrating data from plastid genomes, nrDNA, and 353 low‐copy nuclear genes, this study establishes a robust phylogenetic framework for Hylodesmum. This framework supports a taxonomic revision recognizing 18 species and reveals a complex pattern of bidirectional EA–ENA dispersal, with mammals as a plausible dispersal agent. ABSTRACT Phylogenomics with

During the late Danian-Selandian Laramide phase, open-marine carbonate deposition of the Late Cretaceous and earliest Paleocene was replaced by clastic sediment infill of the Southern North Sea Basin. The Laramide phase, associated with domal uplift and subsidence of Mesozoic grabens, led to a break in sedimentation and reworking of Upper Cretaceous ...

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Geomorphology of the northern sector of the Alfambra-Teruel depression (Iberian ranges, NE Spain)
Journal of Maps, 2019 The area of Alfambra (NE Spain) is very representative of the relief evolution of the Eastern Iberian ranges. The geomorphological cartography (Main Map) includes the northern sector of the Alfambra-Teruel Neogene depression and its mountainous ...
