Greenland's Topography Triggers Cyclogenesis: Synergy Between Lee Cyclogenesis and Jet Streak
Abstract Arctic cyclones play a crucial role in shaping Arctic weather patterns and influencing sea ice concentrations. During the Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate expedition in April 2020, an Arctic cyclone was observed at the leeside of Gre...

Macroevolutionary dynamics of Androsace s.l . (Primulaceae) across the Northern Hemisphere
Abstract Mountain regions of the Northern Hemisphere harbor exceptional biodiversity, yet the processes underlying species diversification and migration among these regions remain poorly understood. This study investigates the macroevolutionary dynamics of Androsace s.l ., a genu...

Receiver function imaging reveals Pyrenean-style crustal wedging in the Western Carpathians
The Alpine−Tethys suture in the Western Carpathians records the collision between the northern European passive margin and the Adria-derived Alps−Carpathians−Pannonian (AlCaPa) tectonic unit. Previous tectonic models, largely based on indirect evidence, proposed complex configura...

Abstract Polychaetes are a dominant and functionally diverse infaunal group of marine soft-bottom ecosystems. Yet their diversity in the Weddell Sea remains poorly known. We investigated the composition of polychaete communities (taxonomic and functional identity) in two key regi...
