The lithostratigraphy, age and paleoenvironmental interpretation of Lower to Middle Jurassic carbonates in Sierra Cabrera (Almería) and Cerro de San Antón (Málaga city) add to the knowledge of the sedimentary evolution of the Maláguide Complex (Internal Zones, Betic Cordillera, southern Spain). In the Barranco de Azagador section in Sierra Cabrera, Sinemurian–Pliensbachian shallow-water carbonates show a mosaic breccia and a h...

Sedimentological, geochemical, and chronological analyses were carried out on 18 carbonate rock samples collected at depths of 938, 1085, and 3354 m on the western slope of Minamitorishima (Marcus Island), which is located near the western margin of the Pacific Plate. Four groups of carbonate rocks were distinguished: a mollusk‐rich limestone, a coral‐rich dolomite, a foraminiferal‐nannofossil packstone, and a phosphatized mud...

We established a high‐resolution calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy for the late Pliocene–Pleistocene by analyzing a 242 m‐thick, continuous sedimentary succession from Ocean Drilling Program Site 1146, Hole A, in the South China Sea (SCS). A total of 14 calcareous nannofossil datums were detected in the SCS succession. They are, in descending order: first occurrence (FO) of Emiliania huxleyi , last occurrence (LO) of Pseu...

Interspecific interactions are crucial in determining species occurrence and community assembly. Understanding these interactions is thus essential for correctly predicting species' responses to climate change. We focussed on an avian forest guild of four hole‐nesting species with differing sensitivities to climate that show a range of well‐understood reciprocal interactions, including facilitation, competition and predation....

Aim To determine if Kōko Seamount submerged below sea level before Kure Island and Pearl and Hermes Reef formed, resulting in a period in which there were no extant islands. A period with no islands would eliminate prior terrestrial and shallow marine biotas that could migrate from island to island and require a restart of colonization from distant shores to populate the younger islands of the Hawaiian volcanic chain. Location...
