The southeastern edge of the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau (Yunnan, China) exhibits high biodiversity but stark differences in species richness between its western Longitudinal Range Gorge (LRG) and eastern Yunnan Plateau (YP). We collected distribution data for 16 primate species in Yunnan and analyzed palynological records over the past 20 ka from 21 localities to identify the biogeographic, climatic, and anthropogenic factors that...

Despite the pivotal role of deep-sea in the global climate system, effective technology is still limited for reconstructing the key parameters of deep-sea environment such as temperature and acidification, especially at the hundred-year scale. In this study, we assessed the robustness and reliability of using bivalve shells in reconstructing cold seep environments. A significant heterogeneous distribution of trace elements was...
