Spatial inference of ancestor locations suggests northern refugia for canopy‐forming kelps in the Pacific Northwest

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Population genetic structure in the Pacific Northwest for (a–c) Nereocystis and (d–f) Macrocystis. Summary Pockets of the formerly glaciated Pacific coastline of North America likely remained ice‐free throughout the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). These areas may have served as refugia for terrestrial species, but less is known about their role in the ...

Re-evaluation of the age model for North Atlantic Ocean Site 982 – arguments for a return to the original chronology

open access: yes, 2013
Recently, the veracity of the published chronology for the Pliocene section of North Atlantic Ocean Drilling Program Site 982 was called into question. Here, we examine the robustness of the original age model as well as the proposed age model revision ...

Difficulties of Pliocene Geology [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1892
CONSIDERING the very great importance which the later tertiary beds must occupy in all speculations about the origin of man and the present geographical distribution of plants and animals, it is unfortunate that they should have attracted so little attention among English geologists.

Ibero‐Balearic plant disjunctions: genomic support for rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonizations of the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis (Brassicaceae) despite no dispersal syndromes

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Genotyping‐by‐sequencing data reveal six well‐defined clades in the endangered Diplotaxis ibicensis, endemic to the western Mediterranean Basin and indicate rapid and recurrent long‐distance colonisations across the Balearic Islands and the eastern Iberian coast despite the absence of dispersal syndromes.

Stratigraphy and sedimentology of Pliocene limestones, Wairoa district, northern Hawke's Bay

open access: yes, 2011
This project documents the sedimentary geology of a shallow-marine, limestone-bearing Pliocene succession (Mangaheia Group; up to 1.5 km thick) within the Wairoa Syncline, northern Hawke’s Bay.

An investigation into the seasonality of the Pliocene southern North Sea basin: a sclerochronological approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Pliocene world c. 5.3 Ma to c. 2.58 Ma exhibited a relatively stable climate with a warmer global mean surface temperature than present-day by ~2 °C to 3 °C, and palaeoclimate analysis from this interval is used to understand climate drivers in ...

A new genus of hemibelideine possum (Marsupialia: Pseudocheiridae) from New Guinea and Australia, including a Lazarus taxon from the Vogelkop Peninsula

open access: yesRecords of the Australian Museum
A new genus of gliding marsupial (Hemibelideinae; Pseudocheiridae) is proposed for several possums previously known only as fossils: ‘Petauroides’ ayamaruensis Aplin, 1999 (Quaternary of the Vogelkop Peninsula of western New Guinea), Pseudocheirus ...

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

An integrated sequence stratigraphic, palaeoenvironmental, and chronostratigraphic analysis of the Tangahoe Formation, southern Taranaki coast, with implications for mid-Pliocene (c. 3.4–3.0 Ma) glacio-eustatic sea-level changes

open access: yes, 2005
Sediments of the mid-Pliocene (c. 3.4–3.0 Ma) Tangahoe Formation exposed in cliffs along the South Taranaki coastline of New Zealand comprise a 270 m thick, cyclothemic shallow-marine succession that has been gently warped into a north to south trending,
