A common hypothesis for the rich biodiversity found in mountains is uplift-driven diversification-that orogeny creates conditions favoring rapid in situ speciation of resident lineages. We tested this hypothesis in the context of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) and adjoining mountain ranges, using the phylogenetic and geographic histories of multiple groups of plants to infer the tempo (rate)...

The formation of continental crust in the Mongolia-Transbaikalia region is researched to identify mechanisms interactions between and mantle development Neoarchean, Proterozoic Paleozoic magmatic sedimentary complexes study area. Using results his own studies conducted for many years other published data on this vast Central Asia, author have analysed compositions, ages conditions Karelian, Bai...

This paper is a complement to the Tectonometamorphic Map of the Canadian Shield, and contains a brief description of the metamorphic history of Proterozoic orogenic belts and rock sequences in the Canadian Shield in Ontario, with a focus on rocks of the Southern and Grenville provinces. Metamorphism in the Southern Province has generally been attributed to the Penokean orogeny (~1879–1820 Ma), ...

We explore the connections between crustal shortening, volcanism, and mantle dynamics in Atlas of Morocco. In response to compressional forces strain localization, this intraplate orogen has evolved far from convergent plate margins. Convective effects, such as lithospheric weakening plume-related contributed important ways building high topography. seek better understand how processes interact...

The cumulative modification of tool designs over time is a crucial development for technological evolution. Cognitive-related prerequisites for this technological capability are innovative behaviour and the faithful inter-generational transmission and maintenance of tool designs by accurate social learning processes. Here, we investigated the hypothesis that a complex of morphological and behav...

Roger McNeill was born in 1853 on Colonsay in the Inner Hebrides, the son of a cattle herder. He graduated with a degree in medicine from Edinburgh University, where he studied with Joseph Lister, among others. After working in London during a smallpox epidemic, he received a gold medal and honours for his M.D. thesis in 1881. McNeill returned to Scotland as the Resident Medical Officer at Gest...
