Using a cryosphere-hydrology-lake-dam model, researchers demonstrate that long-term increased precipitation, accelerated melting, and earthquakes were responsible for the Lake Zonag outburst. In PNAS Nexus: ow.ly/J1Ry50Jgxp0

Happy to share our newly published work on the #Lühe #fossil flora from southwestern China. We found that the topography and modern flora in the SE margin of Tibetan Plateau had been established by the early Oligocene. authors.elsevier.com/c/1fA863HcE1jP…

Molecular phylogenies really are more likely to be accurate than morphological ones, according to biogeographical tests by Jack Oyston in nature.com/articles/s4200…

Featuring on the cover @nature, how flowering plants adapt to growth at extreme altitudes. The mechanism seems to involve changes in oxygen sensitivity, and in the output of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway. go.nature.com/3tBVMTQ

New paper and R package alert! @JoeFlanSan developed 📦fossilbrush for cleaning @PaleoDB occurrence data as part of the Open Research Challenge at FAU Erlangen-Nbg! So cool to finally see this out! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

🚨PERSPECTIVE ALERT🚨 Integrating historical data into macroecological models identifies synergistic threats and #extinction pathways to better understand Australia’s mammal declines. doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…… #WildlifeConservation #Biodiversity

Our project on fossil extinction & climate change is shortlisted for a PhD studentship (UK tuition + stipend), pending an excellent candidate for the final interview. Happy to answer Qs and will post a link soon. Team: Dr. Katie Collins 🐌🦪 Prof. Kirsty Edgar & me.

Our new model: ESSE (Environmental and State Dependent Speciation and Extinction) is available in the Tapestree.jl (github.com/ignacioq/Tapes…) package for Julia #JuliaLang.

Fossils of brontotheres, or “thunder beasts”—an extinct lineage of herbivorous rhinoceros-like mammals—reveal a macroevolutionary pathway to the early and rapid evolution of massive herbivorous mammals. Learn more in Science: scim.ag/2Bi #FossilFriday

🔬Exciting #eDNA fieldwork in the pristine tributaries of the Salween, Mekong, and Yangtze rivers! Our goal? To uncover the hidden thriving plant biodiversity 🌿and link to the geological processes #HengduanMountains #Geomorphology #PlantBiodiversity Yaquan Chang｜常雅荃

Happy to inform that I received an ERC-type AdvGrant to study global #biomes. Three positions (2 PDoc, 1 PhD) are open. If interested, please apply or spread: - apply.refline.ch/273855/1543/pu… - apply.refline.ch/273855/1541/pu… - apply.refline.ch/273855/1540/pu…

Our revised age and fossil excavations from the Mouding basin, Yunnan, contribute to a growing body of evidence for the evolution of the landscape and biodiversity in the SE margin of the Tibetan Plateau. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Really happy to see paper one of my PhD out today in Nature Communications. We develop a deep learning framework for estimating diversity from fossil data 🤿 🦣🐚 Many thanks to @JoeFlanSan and Daniele Silvestro for the collaboration nature.com/articles/s4146…
