Western Alps geological constraints on western Tethyan reconstructions [PDF]
Journal of the Virtual Explorer, 2002 Reconstructions of the Tethyan realm have been a matter of debate for a long time. Controversies spring usually from a lack of well constrained geological data which can be interpreted in different ways, or, from a lack of constraints on the plate tectonics framework.

The evolutionary history of the Arabidopsis arenosa complex : diverse tetraploids mask the Western Carpathian center of species and genetic diversity [PDF]
, 2012 The Arabidopsis arenosa complex is closely related to the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Species and subspecies in the complex are mainly biennial, predominantly outcrossing, herbaceous, and with a distribution range covering most parts of latitudes ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The high mountain ranges of Western Europe had a profound effect on the biotic recolonization of Europe from glacial refugia. The Alps present a particularly interesting case because they form an absolute barrier to dispersal for most taxa, obstructing ...

Geosciences, 2022 We reassess the architecture and tectonic history of the Western Alps based on recent knowledge developed at rifted margins. First, we replace the main Alpine units of our study area into a synthetic rifted margin template based on diagnostic petrologic,

Plant communities of the upper Murrumbidgee catchment in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory [PDF]
, 2013 Native vegetation of the upper Murrumbidgee catchment in southeast NSW and the Australian Capital-Territory (ACT) was classified into 75 plant communities across 18 NSW Vegetation Classes within nine Structural-Formations.

Seismotectonic investigations in the inner Cottian Alps (Italian Western Alps): An integrated approach [PDF]
Tectonophysics, 2010 This work integrates the results of recent geological-structural studies with new seismological data for the inner Cottian Alps to investigate the connection between faults and seismicity. The major post-metamorphic tectonic feature of this sector is represented by a N-S structure, named Lis-Trana Deformation Zone (LTZ).

The late Miocene to Holocene erosion pattern of the Alpine foreland basin reflects Eurasian slab unloading beneath the western Alps rather than global climate change [PDF]
, 2014 We synthesized published data on the erosion of the Alpine foreland basin and apatite fission-track ages from the Alps to infer the erosional sediment budget history for the past 5 m.y. The data reveal that erosion of the Alpine foreland basin is highest

Present-day surface deformation of the Alpine region inferred from geodetic techniques [PDF]
Earth System Science Data, 2018 We provide a present-day surface-kinematics model for the Alpine region and surroundings based on a high-level data analysis of about 300 geodetic stations continuously operating over more than 12 years.

An overview of atmospheric deposition chemistry over the Alps: present status and long-term trends [PDF]
, 2006 Several research programs monitoring atmospheric deposition have been launched in the Alpine countries in the last few decades. This paper uses data from previous and ongoing projects to: (i) investigate geographical variability in wet deposition ...
