Genomic Signatures and Demographic History of the Widespread and Critically Endangered Yellow-Breasted Bunting. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Population declines may have long‐term genetic consequences, including genetic erosion and inbreeding depression, which could affect species' evolutionary potential and increase their risk of extinction. Small populations are more vulnerable to genetic threats than common species, but even species with large populations can also be at risk of ...

Mitogenomic Relationships and Demographic History of the Daurian Ground Squirrel (<i>Spermophilus dauricus</i>) in Response to Human Activity. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAn analysis of population genetics on the basis of the mitochondrial genomes of widely sampled Spermophilus dauricus, integrated with the results of species distribution models, reveals the following: There are differences in population differentiation among the three Spermophilus dauricus populations in the Northeast Plain, the Hulunbuir Plateau, and ...

Sedimentology, Volume 70, Issue 1, Page 235-258, January 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT Arctic warming and permafrost thaw visibly expose changes in the landscape of the Lena River delta, the largest Arctic delta. Determining the past and modern river regime of thick deltaic deposits shaping the Lena River mouth in north‐eastern Siberia is critical for understanding the history of delta formation and carbon sequestration. Using a

Ecological niche models reveal divergent habitat use of Pallas's cat in the Eurasian cold steppes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 The Pallas's cat with a widespread but isolated distribution shows a divergent habitat selection across Eurasian cold steppes. A sub‐taxon climate change projection revealed the different responses of the Pallas's cat subspecies to future global warming.

Central European forest–steppe: An ecosystem shaped by climate, topography and disturbances
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 49, Issue 6, Page 1006-1020, June 2022., 2022 Abstract The occurrence and origin of dry grasslands and their rich biota in the moderately humid Central‐European climate have fascinated scientists for over a century. Modern palaeoecological and phylogeographical data support earlier hypotheses that these grasslands are late Pleistocene relicts and can therefore be considered part of the Eurasian ...

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 178, Issue 1, Page 124-139, May 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Contemporary archeological theory emphasizes the economic and social complexity of Eurasian steppe populations. As a result, old notions of “nomadic” cultures as homogenously mobile and economically simple are now displaced by more nuanced interpretations. Large part of the literature on diet and mobility among Eurasian pastoralists

Hyper‐peripheral regional evolution: The “long histories” of the Pilbara and Buryatia
Geographical Research, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 286-299, May 2022., 2022 Abstract In this article, we outline how evolutionary economic geography (EEG) explains peripheral economic development by comparing two peripheries over extended time periods. This comparison involves critically appraising EEG’s capacity to account for peripheral evolution.

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2021., 2021 The black kite Milvus migrans, one of the most common raptor species, shows great flexibility as regards food resources and breeding sites. While black kite subspecies are found all over Eurasia, Africa and Australia, it has been poorly studied outside of Europe, with virtually nothing known about the phylogeny of populations in Asia, India, Africa or ...

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 521-564, February 2021., 2021 Abstract A diverse group of molluscs from the Cambrian Series 2, Stages 3–4 Xinji Formation of the North China Block (NCB) is described, based on more than 4500 specimens from three well‐studied sections in Shaanxi and Henan provinces, along the southern and southwestern margin of the NCB. Twenty molluscan species are identified, including one bivalve,
