Pliocene-Pleistocene biostratigraphic datums of ODP Site 184-1148

open access: yes, 2003
Based on the stable isotopic analysis of planktonic and benthic foraminifers from Ocean Drilling Program Core 1148 of the northern South China Sea (SCS), Pliocene-Pleistocene isotope stratigraphy and events have been reconstructed.

Paleomagnetic Evidence of Internal Rotation in the Eastern Qiangtang and Its Relation to Distributed Strike‐Slip Faulting in the Southeastern Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The southeastern Tibetan Plateau has undergone complex deformation due to the India‐Eurasia collision. Although late‐stage internal rotations are documented in the Lanping‐Simao Terrane to the south, it remains unclear whether similar processes have affected the north.

Pliocene Te Aute limestones, New Zealand: Expanding concepts for cool-water shelf carbonates

open access: yes, 2003
Acceptance of a spectrum of warm- through cold-water shallow-marine carbonate facies has become of fundamental importance for correctly interpreting the origin and significance of all ancient platform limestones.

Phylogeny of the Electric Rays of the Family Narcinidae (Gill, 1862): Systematic Review and Evidence of the Dispersal Routes to America

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The family Narcinidae has a cosmopolitan distribution; however, its systematic composition and phylogenetic position within Torpediniformes remain poorly understood. This study evaluates the evolutionary and biogeographic history of the family Narcinidae and investigates its distribution patterns using molecular systematics.

Late Miocene – Early Pleistocene paleogeography of the onshore central Hawke’s Bay sector of the forearc basin, eastern North Island, New Zealand, and some implications for hydrocarbon prospectivity

open access: yes, 2008
The timing of trap formation in relation to the timing of source rock burial and maturation are important considerations in evaluating the hydrocarbon prospectivity of onshore parts of the forearc basin in central Hawke’s Bay.

Sensitivity of the Greenland Ice Sheet to Pliocene sea surface temperatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The history of theGrIS (Greenland Ice Sheet), particularly in warm climates of the pre-Quaternary, is poorly known. IRD (ice-rafted debris) records suggest that the ice sheet has existed, at least transiently, since theMiocene and potentially since as ...

Integrating mandibular evidence to assess morphological variation of the Australopithecus afarensis maxilla

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 6, Page 1483-1505, June 2026.
Abstract Geometric morphometric analyses are used to explore variation of maxillary dental arcades of Australopithecus afarensis, expanding on the work of Hanegraef and Spoor, 2025 (Morphological variation of the Australopithecus afarensis maxilla.

Rapid progradation of the Pliocene-Pleistocene continental margin, northern Taranaki Basin, New Zealand, and implications

open access: yes, 2004
Progradation and aggradation of the modern continental margin in northern Taranaki Basin has resulted in the deposition of a thick and rapidly accumulated Pliocene-Pleistocene sedimentary succession.

Dinoflagellate cyst counts of ODP Site 1081, Benguela Upwelling, Miocene-Pliocene

open access: yes, 2016
Using the Late Miocene to Pliocene organic-walled dinoflagellate cyst record of ODP Site 1081 we reconstruct and discuss the early upwelling history over the Walvis Ridge with a special focus on the movement of the Angola-Benguela Front (ABF). We suggest

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1568-1581, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...
