The role of paleogeography in Asian monsoon evolution: A review and new insights from climate modelling
The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

Paleocene latitude of the Kohistan–Ladakh arc indicates multistage India–Eurasia collision
We report paleomagnetic data showing that an intraoceanic Trans-Tethyan subduction zone
existed south of the Eurasian continent and north of the Indian subcontinent until at least …

The Chalcidoidea bush of life: evolutionary history of a massive radiation of minute wasps
Chalcidoidea are mostly parasitoid wasps that include as many as 500 000 estimated
species. Capturing phylogenetic signal from such a massive radiation can be daunting …

Untangling the evolution of soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) and the evaluation of the morphological phylogenetic signal in a soft‐bodied elateroid lineage
This study addresses the long‐standing uncertainty about the internal classification of
soldier beetles (Elateroidea: Cantharidae). Four datasets were compiled and analysed: 66 …

Fire-prone Rhamnaceae with South African affinities in cretaceous Myanmar amber
The rapid Cretaceous diversification of flowering plants remains Darwin's 'abominable
mystery'despite numerous fossil flowers discovered in recent years. Wildfires were frequent …
