Incorporating Fossil Data Into Ecological Niche Models Enhances Predictions of the Past Distribution of Macaronesian‐Mediterranean Strawberry Trees

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We demonstrate that fossil‐informed SDMs not only improve spatial accuracy and ecological realism in past projections, but also provide an external form of validation that traditional hindcasts often lack. ABSTRACT Hindcasting is a widely used method to predict the past distribution of plant species. However, its reliability is often constrained by the

Late Pliocene calcareous nannofossil paleobiogeography of the Pacific Ocean: evidence for glaciation at 2.75 Ma

Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Geológicas, 2018
Calcareous nannofossil assemblages from land sections of the Japanese Islands and DSDP Holes in the equatorial to high latitude regions of the Pacific Ocean were analyzed in an effort to reconstruct their late Pliocene paleobiogeography.

Preservation and palaeobiogeography of dinosaur eggs from the Dadaepo Formation (Upper Cretaceous: Cenomanian), Korea

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Dinosaur eggs were recovered from the Dadaepo Basin in Busan (south‐east Korea), which is early Late Cretaceous in age and is close to Japan, but the eggs have not been studied. Among East Asian egg‐bearing basins, the Dadaepo Basin is characterized by exceptionally high thermal maturity (c.

Affinity in Concentric Circles (ACC): A Geometric Representation of Dendrogram and Interpretation

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We introduce “Affinity in Concentric Circles” (ACC), a method that converts dendrograms to a geometric form using similarity scores to compare dendrograms and identify affinity change patterns. Location China for trilobites and global for nisusiid brachiopods.

Diferenciación genética de Merluccius gayi gayi y Merluccius gayi peruanus (Pisces, Merlucciidae) y antecedentes paleogeográficos de su área de distribución Genetic differentiation of Merluccius gayi gayi and Merluccius gayi peruanus (Pisces, Merlucciidae) and paleogeographic antecedent of their distribution area

Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, 2000
Se han planteado variadas hipótesis sobre relaciones taxonómicas entre las especies de Merluccius, proponiéndose la existencia de dos subespecies Merluccuis gayi gayi y Merluccius gayi peruanus en el Pacífico Sureste; aunque hasta el momento no existen ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

And then there were none: decrease of origination and the decline of Conulariida

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Although the evolutionary history of conulariids has been widely studied, previous works have focused mostly on limited time intervals. In this paper, we examine the diversity dynamics of the group throughout its entire history, using various mathematical approaches.

The first Oligocene sea turtle (Pan-Cheloniidae) record of South America [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
The evolution and occurrence of fossil sea turtles at the Pacific margin of South America is poorly known and restricted to Neogene (Miocene/Pliocene) findings from the Pisco Formation, Peru.

Paleobiogeography of Devonian vertebrates [PDF]

The Paleontological Society Special Publications, 1992
Five distinctive vertebrate faunas characterised by endemic taxa can be recognised for the Early Devonian (Euramerica, Siberia, Tuva, China, and East Gondwana). By Late Devonian time these faunal provinces are obscured by widespread taxa which also inhabited nonmarine aquatic environments, but indicate faunal communication between Gondwana, Euramerica ...
