A thinner jacket for frosty and windy climates? Global patterns in leaf cuticle thickness and its environmental associations

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 1, Page 107-124, October 2025.
Summary Plant cuticles protect the interior tissues from ambient hazards, including desiccation, UV light, physical wear, herbivores and pathogens. Consequently, cuticle properties are shaped by evolutionary selection. We compiled a global dataset of leaf cuticle thickness (CT) and accompanying leaf traits for 1212 species, mostly angiosperms, from 293

The Architecture of Large Kurgans of the Scythians and Their Periphery: A Challenge for Magnetometer Prospections in the Eurasian Steppe Belt

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 32, Issue 3, Page 507-524, July/September 2025.
ABSTRACT The burial mounds of the early Iron Age, which we will refer to below as kurgans, from the nomadic equestrian warriors of Eurasia, form a very complex group of archaeological monuments. Archaeological excavations in Aržan 2 (Siberia) and Aleksandropol (Ukraine) show that the large burial mounds are complex architectural constructions.

Unexpected pathway for intercontinental movement into the Nearctic revealed by phylogenetic analyses

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 562-574, July 2025.
Abstract Much of North America's freshwater biodiversity is derived from Palearctic lineages. Isopods of the Holarctic family Asellidae are among the most widespread and diverse freshwater crustaceans, but Nearctic species are poorly studied. We examined the evolutionary history of the family, utilizing Sanger sequencing of mitochondrial and nuclear ...
