Late Oligocene Formation of the Pearl River Triggered by the Opening of the South China Sea

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Pearl River is one of the largest rivers entering the South China Sea, yet its initiation time remains debated, a topic we address using Pb isotopes in detrital K‐feldspar.

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,

A new hoverfly genus from the Oligocene of France with unusual morphology

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Here, we describe Intricodon cryptodaemoniacus, a new fossil genus and species of hoverfly (Diptera: Syrphidae), representing the second described hoverfly from the middle Oligocene of Céreste (Luberon, Southern France). It has unique, highly specialized

UVIGERINELLOIDES: A NEW ROTALIID BENTHIC FORAMINIFERAL GENUS [PDF]

Science Heritage Journal
This study describes a new Paleogene Rotaliid genus Uvigerinelloides from the middle Oligocene, Septarienthon of Hermsdorf, near Berlin, Germany. It is characterized by fusiform triserial perforate calcareous test, chambers regularly triserial throughout,

Oligocene molasse sedimentation in the Central Taurides: Records of the onset of extensional tectonic regime

Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration, 2020
The lacustrine units have been deposited in the Ermenek, Bucakkışla, Korucuk and Çamlıyayla basins in the Central Taurides since early Oligocene. In this study, structural features and stratigraphical properties of Oligocene basins have been described in

Waves of range dynamics and gene flow characterize the biogeographic history of Litsea elongata, a dominant tree in East Asian evergreen broadleaved forests

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Evergreen broadleaved forests (EBLFs) represent an iconic vegetation type in subtropical montane East Asia, but they are experiencing intensifying anthropogenic pressure and increasing habitat fragmentation. Here, using a dominant and widespread tree species characteristic of East Asian EBLFs, we examine its phylogeographic history and evaluate what it

Forensic Hydraulic Analysis of Floodplain Connectivity Driven by Historical Beaver Dams in Colorado Headwater Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As ecosystem engineers, beavers (Castor canadensis) modify river corridor form through dam building. When beavers are removed from a river corridor, their unmaintained dams wash out, altering the stream's hydrologic regime. The assumption that beaver dams increase floodplain connectivity is frequently presumed but has not been directly ...

A finding of Oligocene primates on the European continent [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1999
In this paper, we provide evidence that contrary to the current view, primates on the European continent did survive the dramatic extinction/origination event across the Eocene/Oligocene boundary 34 million years ago that severely affected the Eurasian mammal communities (the European “Grande Coupure” and the Asian “Mongolian Remodeling”). The survival

Site 1222 [PDF]

, 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.
