DOI: 10.1029/2022pa004566
Abstract: The detailed study of diatom laminations conducted by means of backscattered electron imaging serves as tool to unravel details of past ocean dynamics. In this paper we apply this method to the analysis of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-020-01602-x
Abstract: Background The diversification process known as the Lake Tanganyika Radiation has given rise to the most speciose clade of African cichlids. Almost all cichlid species found in the lakes Tanganyika, Malawi and Victoria, comprising a… read more here.
