THE DEEPWATER BONY FISH FAUNA FROM THE LATE BADENIAN (SERRAVALLIAN) OF WALBERSDORF, AUSTRIA - RECONSTRUCTED WITH OTOLITHS

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
Otolith associations have been extensively described from the Badenian (Langhian to early Serravallian) of the Central Paratethys. During the late Badenian (early Serravallian), the basin was strongly segmented, and the faunal composition of its biota ...

Long‐Distance Dispersal Explains the Contemporary Distribution of a Peninsular Indian Endemic Skink

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 764-776, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Skinks of the genus Sphenomorphus are one of the most speciose genera of lizards, with 115 presently recognised species. Their range extends across tropical Asia, making them suitable for studying speciation and biogeographic patterns. At present, five species of Sphenomorphus are reported from India.

Systematic updates of the agglutinated foraminiferal genus Colominella Popescu, 1998: insights from sectioned specimens

Geologica Carpathica, 2017
The occurrence of agglutinated foraminiferal specimens belonging to the Badenian (middle Miocene) genus Colominella Popescu, 1998 was recently documented for the first time in a lower Pliocene succession of the western Mediterranean area.

Evolution of Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) Across the Palearctic Mountains: The Biogeographical Links Between the Caucasus and Adjacent Ranges, Central Asia and the Himalayas

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 870-883, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The biodiversity of the highest Palearctic mountains is extraordinary, yet its evolution and biogeographic links from a global perspective remain poorly understood. This study focuses on the diversification and biogeography of mayflies (Ephemeroptera) distributed across several prominent mountain ranges, including the Caucasus and adjacent ...

Dental Microwear and Diets of Late Miocene Primates From Rudabánya, Hungary

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 188, Issue 1, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study focuses on a dental microwear texture analysis of European pliopithecids and dryopithecins from the Miocene primate site of Rudabánya, Hungary. The goal is to determine whether these taxa, found in part together in the same deposits, differed in their food preferences, or at least consumed, on a daily basis, in a manner ...

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales)

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 4, Page 1680-1697, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

Paleoenvironmental evolution of the Eastern Paratethys: Tracing the Tethys Ocean legacy through geochemical proxies

Chemical Geology
During the Oligocene to Miocene, the Paratethys Sea emerged as the northern offshoot of the Tethys Ocean, separated from the Mediterranean by the Alpine-Himalayan mountain range. Its history was characterized by the opening, restriction and closure of marine gateways, resulting in significant paleoenvironmental changes, including episodes of anoxia and

Changes of Poleward Oceanic Heat and Salt Transport Associated With the Central Eurasian Seaway During the Early Paleogene

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 13, 16 July 2025.
Abstract During the early Paleogene, the Arctic Ocean existed in a warm yet restricted freshwater regime, with episodic strong freshening leading to proliferation of the freshwater‐adapted Azolla at basal middle Eocene times (49–48 Ma). The Kara Strait, located between the Arctic Ocean and the West Siberian Sea (WSS), facilitated an open central ...

A Model Based Study of the Emergence of North Atlantic Deep Water During the Cenozoic: A Tale of Geological and Climatic Forcings

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract The North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) is a key component of modern climate systems, redistributing heat from equatorial to polar regions and contributing to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. However, the timing of its emergence and the mechanisms driving its formation remain uncertain.
