Genetic Diversification in a New Guinean Frog Genus (Mantophryne, Microhylidae) was Driven by Ancient Tectonic Activity and Climate Reorganisation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our dated phylogeny and biogeographic analysis of Mantophryne, a microhylid frog genus endemic to New Guinea, revealed origins in the East Papuan Composite Terrane (EPCT) in the late Pliocene. Dispersal and diversification out from the EPCT was driven by tectonic activity and climate reorganisation, creating habitat corridors and isolations in the Late

Hornblendite in the Lower Crust: A Possible Source for Porphyry Cu Deposits

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Lower crustal sulfide‐bearing Cu‐rich cumulates, mainly occurring as hornblendite, have been proposed as a critical source component for the development of giant porphyry Cu deposits (PCDs); however, their mineralogical and geochemical nature remain elusive.

Post‐Eocene 90° CCW Rotation of Sardinia‐South Corsica: Paleomagnetic Evidence From Permian‐Cretaceous Sediments of Nurra (NW Sardinia)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract The paleomagnetism of Miocene calc‐alkaline volcanics and sediments from Sardinia has firmly showed that the Corsica‐Sardinia microplate rotated 50°–60° counterclockwise (CCW) with respect to Europe between 21 and 15 Ma, during its drift from the Provencal margin. However, Permian to Eocene rocks from central‐south Sardinia revealed higher (up

Seismic Stratigraphy and Tectonic Evolution of the Forearc Georgia Basin (Upper Cretaceous–Miocene), Canada and USA, With Implications for CO2 Sequestration

Basin Research, Volume 38, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
2D seismic and well data reveal multi‐phase basin filling in the Whatcom Sub‐Basin shaped by syn‐depositional tectonism. An Eocene transition from forearc basin to forearc depression corresponds to decreasing normal‐fault density and throw, both upsection and eastward. Paleogene–Neogene strata are the best CO2 storage targets.

Site 1222

, 2002
Site 1222 (13°48.98´N, 143°53.35´W; 4989 meters below sea level [mbsl]; Fig. F1) forms a south-central component of the 56-Ma transect drilled during Leg 199 and is situated ~2° south of the Clarion Fracture Zone in typical abyssal hill topography.

Cenozoic Time Constraints on the Evolution of a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol Toposequence, Northwest Amazon Basin, Brazil

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
ABSTRACT Deciphering the time milestones of clay formation is crucial for modeling the evolution of major geological systems near the Earth's surface. In the present study, kaolinite samples collected along four vertical profiles within a Gleysol‐Ferralsol‐Podzol soil toposequence near São Gabriel da Cachoeira, NW Amazon Basin (Brazil) are dated using ...

The Origin and Diversification of Turmerics (Curcuma L.: Zingiberaceae) in Paleotropical Biodiversity Hotspots: The Role of Ancient Hybridisation and Historical Climate Change

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To investigate the ecological and evolutionary mechanisms driving biodiversity in the Indo‐Malayan hotspots, with a particular focus on the roles of ancient hybridisation and historical climate in shaping species diversity. Location The Indo‐Malayan realm, particularly the Western Ghats‐Sri Lanka and Indo‐Burma biodiversity hotspots.

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1399-1420, May 2026.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...
