Plesippus francescana (Frick) from the late Pliocene, Coso Mountains, California, with a review of the genus Plesippus [PDF]
, 1936 Two mammalian types, occurring in a late Pliocene fauna from the Coso Mountains, California, have already been described. Among the more abundant forms in this assemblage are the horses of the genus Plesippus.

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Shifting baselines increase the risk of misinterpreting biodiversity trends
Ecography, EarlyView.Ecological studies quantifying the impact of land‐use change on biodiversity may be sensitive to the choice of reference points – or baselines – particularly when sampling across human land‐use gradients and other space‐for‐time comparisons. Much depends on whether the chosen baseline has already undergone shifts in species composition because of ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest
Ecography, EarlyView.Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

“Pleistocene Modernity” and its Emergence in the Korean Peninsula: A critical review of its issues and evidence [PDF]
International Journal of Korean History, 2019 This article critically examines the issue of the emergence of modern humans and its relevant archaeological data in Korea. Even though Korean palaeolithic archaeology is often emotionally biased in narrating the history of human occupation, the ...
