Exchanging Genes Within a City: Analysis of Pollen Flow Patterns in a Narrow Endemic Plant Species Threatened by Urbanisation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAnthropogenic habitat fragmentation can severely disrupt gene flow in endemic plants that depend on species‐specific native pollinators with limited dispersal ability. Using paternity analysis across fragmented and continuous populations, we found that pollen flow was maintained in intact bushland but was completely absent between fragments separated ...

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Early evolutionary history of the seed. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

Lithosphere, 2022 The Ossa-Morena Zone constitutes a fringe Gondwana-related terrane all along the Paleozoic. This continental block has been classically interpreted as being attached to a portion of the northern Gondwanan margin located close to the West African Craton ...

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2021 Lower Ordovician brachiopod macrofaunas in Belgium (Avalonia) are seldom collected and studied due to the poor preservation of material. Here we describe a new fauna of linguliformean brachiopods from the Chevlipont Formation (lower Tremadocian) in the ...

Paleozoic Decollement Displaced the Surface Trace of Iapetus Ocean Closure in Northern Appalachians
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The northern Appalachians record accretion of Laurentia‐ and Gondwana‐derived terranes to Laurentian margin during the formation of Pangea. Terrane bounding structures, key to reconstructing this history, are poorly understood at depth.

Middle–Late Ordovician organic- walled phytoplankton from Sweden: diversity and early radiation [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 The Borenshult-1 core, drilled in the vicinity of Motala, east of Lake Vättern in south central Sweden, comprises a well-dated and nearly complete succession of marine marly carbonates deposited relatively close to land. The 34 core samples analyzed for

Preservation of fossils in the Šárka Formation (Darriwilian, Czech Republic) [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2023 The Šárka Formation is a well-known, fossiliferous Ordovician deposit in Bohemia. It has been targeted by fossil collectors since the 19th century due to the excellent preservation of many fossils.

Ordovician graptolites from the basal part of the Palaeozoic transgressive sequence in the Karadere area, Zonguldak Terrane, NW Turkey [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2014 The Karadere area to the east of Safranbolu in NW Anatolia is one of the very few localities in Turkey where the contact between the Cadomian basement and the Lower Palaeozoic transgressive succession is well exposed.
