Unexpected post‐glacial colonisation route explains the white colour of barn owls ( Tyto alba ) from the British Isles
Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Christian Iseli
The climate fluctuations of the Quaternary shaped the movement of species in and out of glacial refugia. In Europe, the majority of species followed one of the described traditional postglacial recolonization routes from the southern peninsulas towards the ...
2022Silicon isotopes in Arctic and sub-Arctic glacial meltwaters: the role of subglacial weathering in the silicon cycle
Glacial environments play an important role in high-latitude marine nutrient cycling, potentially contributing significant fluxes of silicon (Si) to the polar oceans, either as dissolved silicon (DSi) or as dissolvable amorphous silica (ASi). Silicon is a ...
2019Drivers of Holocene Land Cover Change in Europe
The modern vegetation of Europe is a product of its history. Climate change, plant migration, and human activity have all been important drivers of Holocene (11,500 years ago to the present) vegetation dynamics, but it is difficult to disentangle the relat ...
EPFL2013Climate or migration: what limited European beech post-glacial colonization?
AimDespite the recent improvements made in species distribution models (SDMs), assessing species' ability to migrate fast enough to track their climate optimum remains a challenge. This study achieves this goal and demonstrates the reliability of a process ...
Wiley-Blackwell2013Holocene land-cover reconstructions for studies on land cover-climate feedbacks
The major objectives of this paper are: (1) to review the pros and cons of the scenarios of past anthropogenic land cover change (ALCC) developed during the last ten years, (2) to discuss issues related to pollen-based reconstruction of the past land-cover ...
2010Leaf area index for northern and eastern North America ad the Last Glacial Maximum: A data-model comparison
Aim To estimate the effects of full-glacial atmospheric CO2 concentrations and climate upon leaf area index (LAI), using both global vegetation models and palaeoecological data. Prior simulations indicate lowered LAIs at the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), but ...
2008A continuous Late Glacial and Holocene record of vegetation changes in Kazakhstan
The Late Glacial and Holocene vegetation history of northern Kazakhstan is reconstructed using a well dated continuous pollen record from Ozerki swamp (50 degrees 24'N, 80 degrees 28'E, altitude 210 m), near Semipalatinsk. A montane steppe-taiga community ...
