Environmental and seasonal filtering of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity patterns of mountain butterflies in a prime butterfly area, Greece

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest clearings support butterfly communities comparable to mountainous grasslands in alpha‐diversity and conservation value, yet remain compositionally distinct. Generalized linear models (GLMs) showed three key habitat predictors shaping multifaceted diversity and community composition: herb/grass height, flowerhead abundance and elevation.

Geophysical imaging of ophiolite structure in the United Arab Emirates. [PDF]

, 2021
The Oman-United Arab Emirates ophiolite has been used extensively to document the geological processes that form oceanic crust. The geometry of the ophiolite, its extension into the Gulf of Oman, and the nature of the crust that underlies it are, however,

Ophiolite-Hosted Diamond: A New Window for Probing Carbon Cycling in the Deep Mantle

Engineering, 2019
As reported in our prior work, we have recovered microdiamonds and other unusual minerals, including pseudomorph stishovite, moissanite, qingsongite, native elements, metallic alloys, and some crustal minerals (i.e., zircon, quartz, amphibole, and rutile)

Suprasubduction ophiolite (SSZ) components in a middle to lower upper Jurassic Hallstatt Mélange in the Northern Calcareous Alps (Raucherschober/Schafkogel area)

Geosystems and Geoenvironment, 2023
The Northern Calcareous Alps in the Western Tethys realm were affected in Middle to Late Jurassic times by a mountain building process triggered by ophiolite obduction similar to that in the Inner Western Carpathians or Inner Dinarides.

OIB‐Type Garnet Amphibolites From the Xuerongzangbu Area, Central Lhasa Terrane, Tibet: Implications for Songduo Paleo‐Tethys Ocean Evolution and Permian Mantle Activity Along North Gondwana

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Whether the Songduo metamorphic belt represents an in situ Paleo‐Tethyan suture within the Lhasa Terrane or far‐traveled allochthonous high‐pressure slices, and how Permian mantle activity along the North Gondwana margin relates to subsequent Tethyan evolution, remain central questions in Tibetan tectonics.

Lithofacies, petrography, and geochemistry of the Lamphun oceanic plate stratigraphy: As a record of the subduction history of Paleo-Tethys in Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Suture Zone of Thailand

Open Geosciences
The Mélange in Lamphun Province, situated in the southern region of the Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai Suture Zone (CMCRSZ), remains inadequately explored. This study employs field investigations and petrographic analysis to delineate the characteristics of the ...

Geochemistry of amphibolites and related graphitic gneisses from the Suchý and Malá Magura Mountains (central Western Carpathians) – evidence for relics of the Variscan ophiolite complex

Geologica Carpathica, 2015
Three small bodies of amphibolites and associated graphitic gneisses from the Suchý and Malá Magura Mountains (Tatric Megaunit, central Western Carpathians) have been studied by petrographic and geochemical methods.
