Extreme climate events such as droughts, cold snaps, and hurricanes can be powerful agents of natural selection, producing acute selective pressures very different from the everyday pressures acting on organisms. However, it remains unknown whether these infrequent but severe disruptions are quickly erased by quotidian selective forces, or whether they have the potential to durably shape biodiversity patterns across regions and clades. Here, we show that hurricanes have enduring evolutionary impacts on the morphology of anoles, a diverse Neotropical lizard clade. We first demonstrate a ...
Global data set of long-term summertime vertical temperature profiles in 153 lakes Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Rachel M. Pilla
Climate change and other anthropogenic stressors have led to long-term changes in the thermal structure, including surface temperatures, deepwater temperatures, and vertical thermal gradients, in many lakes around the world. Though many studies highlight warming of surface water temperatures in lakes worldwide, less is known about long-term trends in full vertical thermal structure and deepwater temperatures, which have been changing less consistently in both direction and magnitude. Here, we present a globally-expansive data set of summertime in-situ vertical temperature profiles from 153 ...
Benthic stable isotopes and XRF element counts of IODP Sites 342-U1408 and 342-U1410 Hasselt University
Contourite drift deposits characterise the middle Eocene sequences of International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Site U1408 and Site U1410 (Newfoundland Ridge, North Atlantic, IODP Expedition 342). The onset of contourite deposition occurred at both Sites around 47 Ma, when an order-of-magnitude increase in terrigenous mass accumulation rate resulted in high overall sedimentation rates (>2 cm/kyr) and a sedimentary system sensitive to astronomical insolation forcing. The Expedition science party joined forces to obtain cm-resolution benthic isotope data, as well as X-Ray Fluorescence ...
Aerial photographs of Ethiopia 1935-1941 Ghent University
Gezahegne Gebremeskel, Kiros Meles Hadgu, Sultan Mohammed, Tulu Besha, J. Kropacek, A. Forceville
A large archive of pre-1940 aerial photography of Ethiopia has come to light. The aerial photographs cover north and central Ethiopia and were acquired by the Italian military geographical institute in 1935-41. The rediscovery of this archive opens new perspectives for change studies as it is the largest set of pre-1940 aerial photos in Africa. As a result of an agreement between Ghent University (Belgium), the Ethiopian Mapping Agency (now Ethiopian Geospatial Information Institute) and Mekelle University (Ethiopia), all the photographs in the archive have been digitised. We have availed it ...
Shelf ecosystems along the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain prior to and during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum KU Leuven
The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) is the most pronounced climate event of the early Paleogene. It is characterized by negative δ18O and δ13C excursions recorded in sedimentary archives and a transient disruption of the marine biosphere. Bulk carbonate and foraminiferal δ13C records from Paleocene-Eocene core sections from the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain show an additional small, but distinct δ13C excursion below the onset of the PETM, coined the “pre-onset excursion” (POE). This study focuses on the South Dover Bridge (SDB) core in Maryland, where the Paleocene-Eocene transition is ...

Oxygen isotope ratios, elevation changes and temperature record from the Agassiz ice cap and Greenland ice sheet Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Benoit Lecavalier, Glenn A Milne
We present a revised and extended high Arctic air temperature reconstruction from a single proxy that spans the past ∼12,000 y (up to 2009 CE). Our reconstruction from the Agassiz ice cap (Ellesmere Island, Canada) indicates an earlier and warmer Holocene thermal maximum with early Holocene temperatures that are 4-5 °C warmer compared with a previous reconstruction, and regularly exceed contemporary values for a period of ∼3,000 y. Our results show that air temperatures in this region are now at their warmest in the past 6,800-7,800 y, and that the recent rate of temperature change is ...
