Abstract The Shkoder‐Peja transverse zone (SPTZ) of Northern Albania marks the boundary between the Dinarides and Albano‐Hellenides and is marked by a ∼100 km SW‐ward shift of the ophiolitic nappe front. The SPTZ has been variably interpreted as a paleogeographic inheritance, a dextral strike‐slip fault, the hinge of the clockwise (CW) rotating Albano ...

Abstract A variety of subaerial and submarine events, including mass‐wasting and volcanism, can generate sediment gravity flows and fallout deposits that are preserved in deep‐water stratigraphic records. This study examines whether event beds with differing depositional and transport histories exhibit distinct thickness‐frequency distributions ...

Abstract Hawaiian volcanoes <∼7 Ma are believed to originate from two different portions of the deep mantle: Loa‐trend volcanoes originate from within the Pacific Large Low Shear Velocity Province (LLSVP), whereas Kea‐trend volcanoes tap ambient mantle adjacent to the LLSVP.

Abstract Early Miocene terrestrial ecosystems in eastern Africa were shaped by regional rifting, local, regional, and global climate change, and biogeography, which in turn influenced the evolution of hominoids and other vertebrates. Here, we present a multiproxy study focused on reconstructing the ecosystem structure and climate of the Koru 16 ...

Do Green Lynx Spiders (Peucetia viridans) Change Color in Response to Their Backgrounds?
Photo credit: Lisa Taylor. ABSTRACT For animals that traverse patchy or dynamic backgrounds, morphological color change can help to stay hidden from predators and prey. The green lynx spider (Peucetia viridans) is a sit‐and‐wait predator that hunts pollinators and other insects among vegetation.

ABSTRACT Sedimentary infill patterns in the Eastern Gobi Basin of southern Mongolia record a complex, polyphased history. Asynchronous timing and intensities of extensional tectonism during the Early Cretaceous fragmented the Eastern Gobi Basin into a series of sub‐basins within an extensional rift (horst‐graben) setting, which likely infilled ...
