Rethinking areas of endemism and barriers: perspectives for a causal historical biogeography and a critique of Schultz and Cracraft (2024)

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 401-412, August 2026.
Abstract Historical biogeography faces a persistent conceptual and methodological dilemma concerning the nature of its central analytical units. Using the recent proposal by Schultz and Cracraft (Cladistics 40, 653) as a catalyst, this article critiques the argument that causal inference necessitates the replacement of areas of endemism with barriers ...

Contrasting Palaeogeographic Histories but Similar Microevolutionary Responses in Low‐Dispersal Island Grasshoppers From Two Mediterranean Archipelagos

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Island archipelagos serve as natural laboratories for understanding how geological history, climate change and dispersal limitation interact to shape diversification. Here, we examine how these forces influence patterns of genomic divergence, demographic dynamics and phenotypic variation in island‐endemic taxa, with a particular focus on ...

THE SMALL MAMMALS (INSECTIVORES, BATS AND RODENTS) FROM THE HOLOCENE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF VALLONE INFERNO (SCILLATO, LOWER IMERA VALLEY, NORTHWESTERN SICILY)

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2013
The Vallone Inferno rock-shelter is an archeological site located at 770 m a.s.l. in the Madonie massif in Sicily. This massif is modeled into the Triassic and Oligocene sedimentary rocks of the Imerese Basin.

TERTIARY PALAEOGEOGRAPHY OF JAPAN

open access: yesJournal of Geography (Chigaku Zasshi), 1938
In this treatise, six Palaeogeographic maps of Tertiary Japan are given, representing the different stages of the Tertiary Epoch. To facilitate comparison, those of the three stages of Cretaceous have been added. On each map is shown the distribution of Land and Sea when the sea transgression was the greatest.

Climate conditions on the South‐Iberian Palaeomargin during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian: A mineralogical and geochemical study from hemipelagic deposits

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1631-1663, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The integrated analysis of lithofacies, mineralogy and geochemistry of the hemipelagic marine succession exposed in La Cerradura section (South‐Iberian Palaeomargin) provides new information to characterise the palaeoenvironmental conditions during the latest Pliensbachian to early Toarcian, including the Jenkyns Event.

THE CARPATHIAN RIVER SYSTEM IN ROMANIA – GENESIS AND EVOLUTION [PDF]

open access: yesRevue Roumaine de Géographie, 2012
The present Carpathian valley network is the result of a long and complex process synchronous to the evolutionof the Carpathian orographic system during the Cretaceous – Quaternary period. Among other issues, this studyfocuses on the genesis of the great

Enhanced Orbital‐Forcing Sensitivity of Northern High Latitude Temperatures in the Late Cretaceous Relative to Modern Geography

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.
Abstract Orbital forcing is a primary driver of paleoclimate change, but its influence on deep time climates, particularly in the polar regions of the Late Cretaceous, is poorly understood. Here, we conduct climate simulations with an atmosphere‐ocean‐vegetation coupled model, MIROC4mV, to investigate the response of northern high latitude temperature ...

Reconstruction of the Cretaceous Palaeogeographic Position of Hainan Island and Its Tectonic Significance

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Reconstruction of the palaeogeographical location of Hainan Island is important for understanding the interaction between Indochina and South China. In this study, we integrate topographic relief, gravity anomalies, and magnetic anomalies, along with ...

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2015
Veacute;rard and co-workers proposed in an earlier issue of this journal a method to reconstruct the 3D palaeogeography “anywhere in the world at any time”.

Characterization and evolution of primary and secondary laterites in northwestern Bengal Basin, West Bengal, India

open access: yesJournal of Palaeogeography, 2015
It is quite impossible to travel far in India without observing the remarkable ferruginous crust to which Buchanan in 1807 gave the name of laterite.
