Ages on weathered Plio-Pleistocene tephra sequences, western North Island, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2001 Using the zircon fission-track method, we have obtained five ages on members of two strongly-weathered silicic, Pliocene-Pleistocene tephra sequences, the Kauroa and Hamilton Ash formations, in western North Island, New Zealand.

Lucy's flat feet: the relationship between the ankle and rearfoot arching in early hominins.
PLoS ONE, 2010 BackgroundIn the Plio-Pleistocene, the hominin foot evolved from a grasping appendage to a stiff, propulsive lever. Central to this transition was the development of the longitudinal arch, a structure that helps store elastic energy and stiffen the foot ...

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 19, 16 October 2026.Abstract Recent works suggest there are periods when the Sun encountered massive interstellar cold clouds which compressed the heliosphere to within Earth's orbit, exposing Earth to interstellar galactic cosmic rays and energetic particles of heliospheric origin.

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2873-2896, October 2026.Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Glacial legacies on interglacial vegetation at the Pliocene-Pleistocene transition in NE Asia
Nature Communications, 2016 Climate is broadly assumed to control vegetation, with vegetation lags thought to last no more than a few centuries. Here, based on the analysis of Lake El’gygytgyn pollen record, the authors show that vegetation-climate disequilibrium persisted for ...

Cenozoic tropical carbonate platforms in the Santos Basin, SE Brazilian Margin
Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 6, Page 2454-2487, October 2026.ABSTRACT Tropical carbonate platforms accompanied the latitudinal shifts of the tropical belt throughout the Cenozoic. Their flat‐topped geometries were influenced by a specific set of processes, including climate and sea‐level changes, carbonate facies, tectonics and continental runoff.
