A new study co-authored by researchers at Indiana University sheds light on how the forces that shape mountain ranges also influence the evolution of species. In the study, "Direct effects of mountain ...
A landmark study into the geological timescale distribution of sediment and nutrients over 500 million years shows that species biodiversity on Earth is driven by landscape dynamics. Movement of ...
The Cape Floristic Region, a compact Mediterranean-climate hotspot at the southern tip of Africa, harbours exceptional plant and animal diversity across disparate habitats. With over 9 000 vascular ...
New unified theory shows how past landscapes drove the evolution of Earth’s rich diversity of life
