Phylogenetic structure and formation mechanism of shrub communities in arid and semiarid areas of the Mongolian Plateau. [PDF]
Limiting similarity rather than habitat filtering is the main mechanism of community composition in temperate arid and semiarid areas desert. Low temperature is the main factor limiting shrub phylogeny distribution. Abstract The mechanisms of species coexistence within a community have always been the focus in ecological research.

New Insights on Genetic and Morphological Divergence Among a <i>Buthus</i> Species Complex From Tunisia With the Identification of a New Species. [PDF]
This work presents a revision of Tunisian species within the genus Buthus. By combining molecular and morphological analyses, we describe a new species and we better define the distribution area of all the recorded species and provide new morphological criteria that facilitate their identification and differentiation.

Cenozoic migration of a desert plant lineage across the North Atlantic
Summary Previous paleobotanical work concluded that Paleogene elements of the sclerophyllous subhumid vegetation of western Eurasia and western North America were endemic to these disjunct regions, suggesting that the southern areas of the Holarctic flora were isolated at that time.

The Miocene: The Future of the Past
Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern conditions, and many flora and fauna evolved into the same taxa that exist today.
