Neogene amphibians and reptiles (Caudata, Anura, Gekkota, Lacertilia, and Testudines) from the south of Western Siberia, Russia, and Northeastern Kazakhstan

Vasilyan​, Davit ; Zazhigin, Vladimir S. ; Böhme, Madelaine

In: PeerJ, 2017, vol. 5, p. e3025

The present-day amphibian and reptile fauna of Western Siberia are the least diverse of the Palaearctic Realm, as a consequence of the unfavourable climatic conditions that predominate in this region. The origin and emergence of these herpetofaunal groups are poorly understood. Aside from the better-explored European Neogene localities yielding amphibian and reptile fossil remains, the...

Oligocene and early Miocene mammal biostratigraphy of the Valley of Lakes in Mongolia

Harzhauser, Mathias ; Daxner-Höck, Gudrun ; Erbajeva, Margarita A. ; López-Guerrero, Paloma ; Maridet, Olivier ; Oliver, Adriana ; Piller, Werner E. ; Göhlich, Ursula B. ; Ziegler, Reinhard

In: Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments, 2017, vol. 97, no. 1, p. 219–231

The Taatsiin Gol Basin in Mongolia is a key area for understanding the evolution and dispersal of Central Asian mammal faunas during the Oligocene and early Miocene. After two decades of intense fieldwork, the area is extraordinarily well sampled and taxonomically well studied, yielding a large dataset of 19,042 specimens from 60 samples. The specimens represent 176 species-level and 99...

Responses of coral reef fishes to past climate changes are related to life‐history traits

Ottimofiore, Eduardo ; Albouy, Camille ; Leprieur, Fabien ; Descombes, Patrice ; Kulbicki, Michel ; Mouillot, David ; Parravicini, Valeriano ; Pellissier, Loïc

In: Ecology and Evolution, 2017, vol. 7, no. 6, p. 1996–2005

Coral reefs and their associated fauna are largely impacted by ongoing climate change. Unravelling species responses to past climatic variations might provide clues on the consequence of ongoing changes. Here, we tested the relationship between changes in sea surface temperature and sea levels during the Quaternary and present-day distributions of coral reef fish species. We investigated...

Isolation and characterization of sea urchin P.lividus microbiota from coelomic fluid : bachelor's thesis : diploma 2016

Zuber, Boris ; Schmid, Sergio (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute Ecole d'Ingénierie, 2016.

The identification of the microbiota present in the coelomic fluid of Paracentrotus lividus has been highlighted in order to understand the role of bacteria in the physiology, ecology and aquaculture activities of this echinoderm.

Troubling travellers: are ecologically harmful alien species associated with particular introduction pathways?

Pergl, Jan ; Pyšek, Petr ; Bacher, Sven ; Essl, Franz ; Genovesi, Piero ; Harrower, Colin A. ; Hulme, Philip E. ; Jeschke, Jonathan M. ; Kenis, Marc ; Kühn, Ingolf ; Perglová, Irena ; Rabitsch, Wolfgang ; Roques, Alain ; Roy, David B. ; Roy, Helen E. ; Vilà, Montserrat ; Winter, Marten ; Nentwig, Wolfgang

In: NeoBiota, 2017, vol. 32, p. 1–20

Prioritization of introduction pathways is seen as an important component of the management of biological invasions. We address whether established alien plants, mammals, freshwater fish and terrestrial invertebrates with known ecological impacts are associated with particular introduction pathways (release, escape, contaminant, stowaway, corridor and unaided). We used the information from...
