Biogeographical Origin and Speciation of the Anthocoris nemorum Group
The Anthocoris nemorum group belongs to the Anthocoridae (Hemiptera), and is an important group of predators of agricultural pests. A phylogeny was constructed in conjunction with dispersal-vicariance analysis of the Anthocoris nemorum group species in order to discern the relationships between the phylogeographical structuring of A. nemorum group species, and the effects of the Qinghai-Tibet p...
متن کاملThe active southwest margin of the Colorado Plateau: Uplift of mantle origin
During Cenozoic time, the Colorado Plateau was raised about 2 km above sea level. The most-recent and best-documented uplift of the plateau (;1 km) has been concentrated at its southwest margin between 6 and 1 Ma, whereas the eastern Colorado Plateau may have been at high elevations since Eocene time. To better understand the recent tectonic activity at the southwest margin of the Colorado Plat...
متن کاملColorado Plateau uplift and erosion evaluated using GIS
Study of the interaction between uplift and erosion is a major theme of our science, but our understanding of their interplay is often limited by a lack of quantitative data. A classic example is the Colorado Plateau, for which the starting and ending points are well known: The region was at sea level in the Late Cretaceous, and now, the deeply eroded land surface is at ~2 km. The path of the l...
متن کاملEco-environmental effects of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau uplift during the Quaternary in China
L. Fengquan 7 B. Jianmin College of Environment and Construction Engineering Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun City. 130026. P.R. China Abstract The Qinghai–Tibet Plateau uplifted 13000 m in the Quaternary period. The average rate of uplift was 1–1.1 mm/year. The uplifting has remolded the geomorphology of China. The landform in China was changed from west-low and east-h...
متن کاملDeep mantle forces and the uplift of the Colorado Plateau
[1] We introduce a quantitative model of global mantle convection that reconstructs the detailed motion of a warm mantle upwelling over the last 30 Ma towards the interior of the southwestern USA from observed present-day mantle heterogeneity. The onset and evolution of uplift in the central Basin and Range province and Colorado Plateau during this time is determined by tracking the topographic...
