Establishing how tectonic plates have moved since deep time is essential for understanding
how Earth's geodynamic system has evolved and operates, thus answering longstanding …

As a complex paleo-ocean located between the Tarim-North China and the
Sibumasu/Baoshan blocks, the Proto-Tethys Ocean was opened from the rifting of the …

The history of the South China Craton and the constituent Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks are
directly linked to Earth's Phanerozoic and Precambrian record of supercontinent assembly …

A phylogenetic analysis of sequences from 503 species of hylid frogs and four outgroup taxa
resulted in 16,128 aligned sites of 19 genes. The molecular data were subjected to a …

Avian diversification has been influenced by global climate change, plate tectonic
movements, and mass extinction events. However, the impact of these factors on the …

The Phanerozoic tectonic regimes of the South China Block (SCB) hold a key to
understanding of its geodynamic evolution with respect to formation of numerous mineral …

The making of Pangea is the result of large-scale amalgamation of continents and micro-
continents, which started at the end of the Neoproterozoic with the formation of Gondwana …

Gondwana is reviewed from the unification of its several cratons in the Late Neoproterozoic,
through its combination with Laurussia in the Carboniferous to form Pangea and up to its …

The Asian continent formed during the past 800 my during late Neoproterozoic through
Jurassic closure of the Tethyan ocean basins, followed by late Mesozoic circum-Pacific and …

This review paper presents a set of revised global palaeogeographic maps for the 825–540
Ma interval using the latest palaeomagnetic data, along with lithological information for …
