MAGNETOSTRATIGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF THE UPPER SIVALIKS NEAR PINJOR, INDIA
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2023 A magnetostratigraphic study on four sections near Pinjor showed that the Tatrot stage falls in the Gauss magnetic epoch and the Pinjor corresponds to most of the Matuyama epoch. A significant faunal change, already observed by other authors in Pakistan,

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 568-588, July 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Plio-Pleistocene exhumation of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis and its domal ‘pop-up’
, 2016 The eastern termination of the Himalayan orogen forms a structural syntaxis that is characterised by young (from 10 to 7 km in elevation) in the core of the syntaxis.

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 ...

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 615-638, July 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...

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 ...

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 555-567, July 2026.ABSTRACT The Amazon and Atlantic forests harbour immense biodiversity shaped by complex evolutionary history with diverse processes leading to species build‐up. We investigated the Cinereous Antshrike species complex (Thamnomanes caesius and T. schistogynus) to disentangle the relative contributions of riverine barriers and historical climatic ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism
