Evaluation of the Rb/Sr ratio as an indicator of chemical weathering: a case study from five sedimentary sections in Northeast China

Boreas, EarlyView.
Chemical weathering plays a pivotal role in the Earth's surface material cycle and global climate regulation. It not only facilitates the reconstruction of palaeoclimate characteristics but also provides essential insights into Earth's evolutionary history.

Ecological variability of Hippopotamus antiquus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene of Megalopolis Basin (Greece): Evidence for dynamic habitats in a glacial microrefugium

Boreas, EarlyView.
This study investigates the ecology of the extinct European Hippopotamus from the late Early–Middle Pleistocene (c. 900–400 ka) sequence of the Megalopolis Basin, a glacial microrefugium for temperate taxa in southern Greece. Using stable carbon (δ13C) and oxygen (δ18O) isotope analyses and microwear analyses of Hippopotamus dental elements, we ...

Budding speciation, mitochondrial capture and introgression between surface and cave lineages in the Asellus aquaticus species complex

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Replicated pairs of ancestral and evolutionarily derived populations provide opportunities to test hypotheses about the deterministic laws of evolution. The Asellus aquaticus species complex is an invertebrate model system with several independent surface‐to‐cave transitions and a complicated and unresolved evolutionary history.

Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Integrative phylogenomics uncovers hidden diversity and repeated cave colonizations in Dinaric pseudoscorpions

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Subterranean ecosystems harbour exceptional biodiversity shaped by adaptation to extreme environments, yet remain poorly explored. Cave organisms, restricted to small, isolated populations, are extinction‐prone, making integrative species delimitation essential for biodiversity assessment and conservation.

Climatic, biogeographic and ecological factors influence the spatial patterns of odd‐ and even‐year dominance in biennial European butterflies and burnet moths

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
250,000 observations of 7 annual, 11 biennial and 4 flexible lepidoptera species in the Alps and over 150,000 observations of 5 biennial species from Scandinavia were analysed. Maps show distinct patterns of different species that fly predominantly in odd or even years in the researched areas.

A New Approach to Transforming Airborne Electromagnetic Data into Models of Sediment Type

Groundwater, EarlyView.
A new methodology provides the relationship needed to transform electrical resistivity measurements from airborne electromagnetic surveys to sediment type. By accounting for the physics of the measurement and the quality of the driller's logs used in developing the transform, the method improves the accuracy of derived sediment type models.

The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

Ibis, EarlyView.
The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Back in the wild: where reintroduced California Condors spend their time

Ibis, EarlyView.
Captive breeding and reintroduction programmes have been instrumental in preventing the extinction of critically endangered species. As these efforts advance towards recovering self‐sustaining wild populations, understanding how reintroduced animals use space is essential for long‐term success.
