Unravelling the tectonic processes responsible for the uplift of the Himalaya requires in-depth investigation of individual terranes caught up along the Indus Suture Zone that separates the continents of India and Eurasia. The Himalayan Orogen represent the complex amalgamation of, not only the two colliding continents with one plate subducting underneath the other, but also fragments of oceanic crust (ophiolites) and intraoceanic arcs that developed within the vast expanse of the now extinct Neotethyan Ocean. The aim of this thesis was to resolve the tectonic evolution of the Dras-Nindam terr...
Full-bellied fossil suggests flies were active pollinators 47 million years ago By (0) The full-bellied fly fossil -- representing a new species, Hirmoneura messelense -- was found among ancient lake sediment layers in Germany's Messel Pit.

In studying food webs -- how animals and plants in a community are connected through their dietary preferences -- ecologists can piece together how energy flows through an ecosystem and how stable it is to climate change and other disturbances. Studying ancient food webs can help scientists reconstruct communities of species, many long extinct, and even use th...
