When extreme drought strikes, drier grasslands receive the greatest productivity benefit from biodiversity. By contrast, ...
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 ...
Recent fossil discoveries and DNA analyses are transforming our perspective on the history of life on Earth. These findings ...
Bromeliads are one of the great evolutionary success stories of the neotropics, the tropical ecosystems of the Americas. The ...
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 ...
A landmark alliance of DNA experts across Europe signals the start of an unprecedented effort to build a continent-wide ...
Earth’s surface is the living skin of our planet – it connects the physical, chemical and biological systems. Over geological time, this surface evolves. Rivers fragment the landscape into an ...
Top panel shows reconstructed sediment fluxes to the oceans vs diversity of marine animals. Bottom panel shows sediment cover in continental regions vs the long-term trend in land-plant diversity.
