[1] Many geologic observations suggest that the eastern portion of the Tibetan Plateau has expanded eastward and grown in height over the past 15-10 Ma, and other observations suggest that climate over the northwestern Indian subcontinent (“NW India”) became more arid between 11 and 7 Ma. We suggest that they are linked: higher terrain increased orographic precipitation over eastern Tibet, whic...

We show that Ambro–Kawamata’s non-vanishing conjecture holds true for a quasi-smooth WCI X which is Fano or Calabi-Yau, i.e. we prove that, if H is an ample Cartier divisor on X , then |H | is not empty. If X is smooth, we further show that the general element of |H | is smooth. We then verify Ambro–Kawamata’s conjecture for any quasi-smooth weighted hypersurface. We also verify Fujita’s freene...

The genus Erannis Hübner, [1825] is typically known to be distributed in the Holarctic region. present paper represents first record of kashmirensis László, 2003 from India. species was described Pakistan and it previously exclusively its type series collected NW Himalayas. A brief diagnosis habitus, genitalia photographic illustrations were provided for validation

Five new species of the genus Miltochrista Hübner, [1819] are described: kravchenkoi sp. n. (Myanmar: Chin State), velona (NW Myanmar, SW China (Sichuan) and N Vietnam), pachia Myanmar: ekliptika Kachin States), tinsukia (NE India: Assam). The lectotype for Cyllene humilis Walker, 1859 is designated. Adults, male female genitalia similar illustrated.
