Dominant Glacial Control on Plio‐Pleistocene to Recent Exhumation of the Kyrgyz Range (Tien Shan)

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The evolution of mountain ranges results from complex interactions between tectonics and climate, yet their relative contributions to exhumation can be difficult to discern. Previous thermochronological studies in the Kyrgyz Range (Tien Shan) attributed late Cenozoic rapid exhumation primarily to increased tectonic shortening without ...

Size of the cave bear population and skeletal distribution from Urşilor Cave, Romania

Travaux de l'Institut de Speologie Emile Racovitza, 2016
Spatial distribution analyses of fossil bones are often used in cave taphonomy for i) assessing directly the size of a given fossil population and ii) indirectly, for palaeo-environmental reconstructions.

Trends and variability of heat waves in Europe and the association with large-scale circulation patterns

Weather and Climate Extremes
Heat waves, defined by consecutive days of abnormally high temperatures exceeding local or regional norms, have been extensively studied during the summer season. However, their characteristics and driving forces in mid-to-late spring (April and May) and

Preserved Through Hyperaridity, 150 Million Years of Exhumation and Strike‐Slip Deformation in the Atacama Coastal Cordillera

Tectonics, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The Coastal Cordillera of northern Chile, in the forearc of the Andean subduction zone, provides an ideal site to evaluate exhumation above the oldest active subduction under extreme aridity. This range lies parallel to a sediment‐starved trench, has experienced hyperaridity since the Miocene, and is transected by the ∼1,000‐km‐long Atacama ...

Interactive Effects of Climate and Land Use Change on Taxus Species: An Integrated Modelling Framework for Identifying Long‐Term Refugia

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Biodiversity is fundamental to maintaining ecosystem function and stability, while climate change (CC) and land‐use/land‐cover change (LUCC) jointly threaten the survival of endangered tree species. Currently, the individual and combined effects of these two factors on species distribution remain unclear, and their interaction mechanisms ...

Biosignature Preservation in Stromatolites From the Carri Laufquen Lakes System, Patagonia: Implications for Martian Palaeolacustrine Environments

Geobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT The Carri Laufquen Lakes System is a highly alkaline, basalt‐hosted lacustrine environment in northern Patagonia, Argentina. Diverse morphologies of Late Pleistocene sub‐fossil stromatolites occur along the lakeshores. Using detailed optical and electron microscopy, spectroscopy and organic geochemical analyses, this study shows that ...

Radiocarbon Reveals Modern Carbon Exchange With Topsoil Inorganic Carbon in Drylands

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 9, September 2026.
Radiocarbon measurements across drylands reveal that topsoil inorganic carbon carries a measurable modern carbon signature linked to soil pH and organic carbon pools. This modern imprint weakens with increasing aridity and soil depth, indicating reduced exchange with contemporary carbon sources under drier conditions and in deeper soils.

Extinct Species Unearth Bergmann's Rule in Canidae

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Interspecific patterns of Bergmann's rule may be concealed by species extinctions within clades. We evaluate whether incorporating extinct species and paleoenvironmental information improves the detection of Bergmann's rule in the family Canidae, and test whether temperature and net primary productivity (NPP) explain interspecific ...

Probabilistic Surface Heat Flow Estimates Assimilating Paleoclimate History: New Implications for the Thermochemical Structure of Ireland

, 2018
Regions where surface temperature has increased since past glaciation events, such as Ireland, underestimate the heat output of the Earth unless paleoclimate corrections are applied.

Multispecies Genomics Uncovers a Common Legacy of Postglacial Isolation on a Neotropical Land‐Bridge Island

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate whether Pleistocene sea‐level changes can explain the timing and demographic processes of population divergence between continental and insular plant populations on a land‐bridge island. Location Alcatrazes Island and adjacent mainland areas along the southeastern coast of Brazil.
