Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...

The application of resilience concepts in palaeoecology [PDF]

, 2018
The concept of resilience has become increasingly important in ecological and socio-ecological literature. With its focus on the temporal behaviour of ecosystems, palaeoecology has an important role to play in developing a scientific understanding of ...

Needle in a haystack: Holocene history of European larch in Central Europe revisited

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Defining nativity of species is crucial for their management. However, this is a complex task, especially for species that have been used and spread by humans for a long time. We combined paleoecological records with extensive genetic data to investigate the Holocene history of European larch—a common and economically important tree species in Central ...

Body Size Regulates Niche Overlap Asymmetry in the Subtropical Andes Rain Shadow: Isotopic Paleoecology of Oligocene South American Ungulates

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

The First Quantitative Evidence of Ontogenetic Growth in the Early Cambrian Ecdysozoan Worm Cricocosmia jinningensis Reveals the Earliest Energy Reallocation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We report the first ontogenetic information for the compression‐preserved Cambrian ecdysozoan worm Cricocosmia jinningensis. Its mosaic growth strategy unifies panarthropod and priapulid developmental patterns. Sclerite allometry reverses at the juvenile‐to‐adult transition, providing the earliest evidence of developmental resource allocation ...

PAST GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE: A HIGH RESOLUTION EVIDENCE FROM SW SIBERIA

Литосфера, 2019
The southern Siberian loess, being a continuation of the Eurasian loess-belt, has provided one of the most complete terrestrial proxy records on the global past climate development.

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Palaeoecological and palaeoclimatological implications of the Eocene Northern Hemisphere Azolla phenomenon [PDF]

, 2010
The high abundances and cyclic distribution of remains of the freshwater fern Azolla in early middle Eocene sediments from the Arctic Ocean have previously been related to episodic surface water freshening, which was speculated to be orbitally modulated.

AlpIce‐1: a database of geochronological and geomorphological constraints on Alps‐wide palaeoglacier fluctuations between the Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene

Boreas, EarlyView.
The AlpIce‐1 database is the first compilation of published geomorphological and geochronological markers constraining build‐up, culmination and decay of glaciers from the Last Glacial Maximum through the Holocene across the entire European Alps. AlpIce‐1 integrates more than 4200 surface‐exposure and radiocarbon ages, homogenized, quality controlled ...

Modern pollen rain of an upland area: implications of pollen dispersal for interpreting palaeoenvironmental records

Boreas, EarlyView.
A long‐term perspective on landscape evolution is critical for understanding past land‐use activity, land cover–climate feedbacks and, notably, for establishing a factual basis for conservation. Fossil pollen analysis provides a means to achieve this. Biases pertaining to pollen productivity, pollination processes and basin size, however, mean there is
