Grazing effects on feeding guilds of ground‐dwelling arthropods vary with season and vegetation types in Mongolian grasslands

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Seasonal variations in grazing impacts on vegetation in drylands vary with vegetation types. In Mongolian grasslands, seasonal variations in grazing effects on vegetation are greater in summer, when vegetation is more developed, than in spring; however, in desert steppe regions, where vegetation is sparse, these seasonal variations are smaller.

Biodiversity as a Dominant Force in Shaping Ethnic Music Styles 生物多样性:塑造民族音乐风格的主导力量

Integrative Conservation, EarlyView.
Our findings show that plant, bird, and mammal diversity considerably shape musical features such as vocal range and ornamental sounds, more so than geography or lifestyle. Our study provides the first empirical evidence linking biodiversity to ethnic music styles. Protecting biodiversity, the musical and cultural will be protected.

Late Quaternary climatic variability in the Eastern Mediterranean recorded in Hermes Cave, Corinth Rift, Greece

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Greek peninsula lies at the intersection of major atmospheric circulation systems, making it a key location for reconstructing past climate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean. In this study, we present a new high‐resolution multi‐proxy speleothem record from Hermes Cave, located on the shoulder of the Corinth Rift in southern Greece.

Astragalus ecomorphology in Quaternary elephantids

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The astragalus plays a fundamental role in the graviportal locomotion of proboscideans, reflecting the biomechanical constraints imposed by large body masses. This study analyses the morphological variability of the astragalus in Quaternary elephantids using linear biometry and 3D geometric morphometrics, incorporating an unpublished ...
