Late Pennsylvanian vegetation dynamics of the Donets Basin, Ukraine by Nataliya Boyarina

“…The subsequent transformation of wetland forests to wetland woodlands on coastal lowlands and deltaic plains according to the substitutionary regressive model of phytocoenogenesis and the formation of the new seasonally dry peltaspermalen pteridosperm-dominated woodland communities in river valleys according to the evolutionary progressive model of phytocoenogenesis took place against the background of a reduction of coastal lowlands and an expansion of river landscapes in the long-term period of a relatively stable sea level drop during the early phase of the late Gzhelian glacial interval. …”

Sexual dimorphism and ancestral variation in the pectoral and pelvic girdles of modern humans by Daphne R. Hudson, John H. Langdon

“…These results suggest that sexual dimorphism in the pectoral region is not a product of scaling and that differences in this region reflect adaptive forces acting in unique ways on each sex, consistent with the assumptions of earlier evolutionary explanations.…”
