The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

The dynamic geological history of the Ponto-Caspian region drove the evolution of a highly
adaptable endemic fauna that gave rise to notorious aquatic invaders. Amphipod …

Palearctic water frogs (genus Pelophylax) are an outstanding model in ecology and
evolution, being widespread, speciose, either threatened or threatening to other species …

Event deposition accounts for a large part of the preserved sedimentary record. Tempestites,
tsunamites and turbidites are among the most common event deposits in marine and …

Amphipods have diversified greatly in the Ponto-Caspian region. Although many of these
species are prominent invaders their systematics remains unclear. Taking an integrative …

Abstract The Ponto-Caspian region is an important donor of aquatic alien species
throughout the Northern Hemisphere, many of which are amphipod crustaceans. Despite …

At the end of the Eocene, the demise of the Tethys Ocean led to the formation of one of the
largest anoxic seas in the last 50 million years of Earth history. This long-lived anoxic water …

The hydrological connectivity of semi-isolated basins with the global ocean drives
remarkable ecosystem turnover and regional climate shifts, making palaeoenvironmental …
