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.

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 major reorganization of Asian climate by the early Miocene [PDF]

, 2008
The global climate system experienced a series of drastic changes during the Cenozoic. In Asia, these include the climate transformation from a zonal pattern to a <i>monsoon-dominated pattern</i>, the disappearance of typical subtropical ...

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.

Oligocene archaeomonad stomatocysts from the Polish Central Paratethys

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
An unanticipated diversity of archaeomonad stomatocysts intermixed with marine plankton including diatoms, silicoflagellates, parmaleans and individual siliceous protistan scales was encountered in Rupelian diatomites from the Central Paratethys. In this

Quaternary time scales for the Pontocaspian domain: interbasinal connectivity and faunal evolution [PDF]

, 2019
The Pontocaspian (Black Sea - Caspian Sea) region has a very dynamic history of basin development and biotic evolution. The region is the remnant of a once vast Paratethys Sea.
