Yolŋu oral traditions and old Austronesian borrow words in Aboriginal languages suggest a long complex history of foreign voyaging Australia.

The phylogeny of the superfamily Chirostyloidea (Decapoda: Anomura) has been poorly understood owing to limited taxon sampling and discordance between different genes. We present a nine-gene dataset across 15 chirostyloids, including all known yeti crabs (Kiwaidae), to improve the resolution of phylogenetic affinities within and between the different families, and to date key divergences using ...

Abstract This paper focuses on Asian monsoon projection with CMIP5 multi-model outputs. A large-scale herewith is defined as a vector field of vertically integrated moisture flux from the surface to 500 hPa. Results demonstrate that model ensemble mean underestimated summer and overestimated slightly winter over South Asia in both historical climate simulation for 2006–2015. The major bias drif...
