Until the advent of phylogenomics,the atypical morphology of extant represen-tatives of the insect orders Grylloblattodea(ice-crawlers)and Mantophasmatodea(gladi-ators)had confounding effects on efforts to resolve the...
The paper analyzes the concept of Ether and substantiates the necessity of its existence as a physical reality, which arises within the framework of the concept developed by the authors of the work. The authors come t...

Cyclocarya paliurus is a relict plant species that survived the last glacial period and shows a population expansion recently.Its leaves have been traditionally used to treat obesity and diabetes with the well-known a...
Endemic species are important components of regional biodiversity and hold the key to understanding local adaptation and evolutionary processes that shape species distributions.This study investigated the biogeographi...

Tertiary relicts often show evolutionary stasis in morphology and ecology and have been hypothesized to retain stable population sizes in refugia. However, recent studies have reported that some relicts evolutionarily...
The Bafoussam-Mamfe Region(BMR)belongs to the Western Cameroon Highland margin,an amalgam of transient landscape that evolved from the interactions between tectonics,lithology and climate forcings.This area is tectoni...
