Out of the major groups of Phanerozoic corals, scleractinians, established the highest number of symbiotic associations, followed by tabulate and rugose corals. Corals were most frequently associated with \"worms\", followed by arthropods, mollusks, lophophorates, and other corals. Parasitic relationships were more common than commensal or mutualistic ones. Symbiotic skeletal organisms colonized Phanerozoic corals more often than soft-bodied organisms were recorded as bioclaustrations. Among these symbionts, suspension feeders were the dominant group, though micro-predators, detritivores and carnivores were also present. The faunal composition of endobiotic coral symbionts closely mirrors Sepkoski's evolutionary faunas. Paleozoic corals were primarily associated with species from the Paleozoic evolutionary fauna, while Mesozoic to Cenozoic corals were inhabited by members of the modern fauna. The most intriguing aspect is that there was no significant escalation in coral symbiosis levels during the Paleozoic. While the increase in predation intensity throughout the Phanerozoic is well-documented, a similar pattern in symbiotic relationships is not observed. Both tabulate and rugose corals maintained relatively stable, group-specific levels of symbiosis throughout the Paleozoic. The apparent lack of data from the Permian may be due to study and sampling biases. Similarly, scleractinians show no significant increase in symbiosis from the Jurassic to the Paleogene. These findings suggest that the evolution of symbiotic relationships may have been less competitive compared to predation, which involves continuous escalation between predators and prey. It also implies that certain organism groups may quickly reach an optimal level of symbiosis, beyond which further symbiotic relationships offer no additional evolutionary advantage compared to non-symbiotic taxa.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11483,"journal":{"name":"Earth-Science Reviews","volume":"263 ","pages":"Article 105071"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143465222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Elastic anisotropies, significantly influenced by rock microstructure, exhibit greater complexity than isotropic ones; and the overall elastic anisotropies increase with serpentinization while decreasing with deserpentinization.

The Paleozoic Altyn Orogen marks the northern boundary of the Proto-Tethys Ocean realm and holds the deepest records of continental subduction, but the detailed tectonic evolution of this orogen remains controversial. We present a systematic overview of recent studies of metamorphism and granitoid magmatism within the Paleozoic Altyn Orogen. This Orogen includes the North Altyn Tectonic Belt (NAB), Central Altyn Block (CAB) and South Altyn Tectonic Domain (SAD), in which four-episode metamorphism (M-I to -IV) and five-episode granitoid magmatism (G1–5) are recognized. The M-I metamorphism is marked by high-pressure and low-temperature (HP-LT) eclogites with ages of &gt;522 Ma in the NAB, which, together with the arc-related G1 granitoids of 536–510 Ma, indicates an early Cambrian cold subduction. The M-II metamorphism is characterized by ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) rocks in the SAD. It shares clockwise &lt;em&gt;P–T&lt;/em&gt; paths characterized by the prograde to the &lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; (peak pressure) (M-IIa) stage at ∼500 Ma and post-&lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; decompression to high amphibolite facies or HP-(U)HT (ultrahigh- to high-temperature) granulite facies conditions (M-IIb) at ∼480 Ma. The &lt;em&gt;P&lt;/em&gt;&lt;sub&gt;max&lt;/sub&gt; conditions of M-IIa vary from the stability field of quartz to that of coesite and stishovite, registering continental subduction to different mantle depths with the maximum up to 300 km. The M-IIa metamorphism was accompanied by the G2 adakitic granitoids with ages of 510–500 Ma, and M-IIb metamorphism was associated with the G2 A-type granitoids aged 495–480 Ma, related to the subduction and exhumation of a microcontinent. The M-III metamorphism is represented by LP-(U)HT granulites with ages of 462–441 Ma and LP overprinting on the exhumed HP-UHP rocks in the SAD. This LP metamorphism, associated with the G3 I/A-type granitoids (475–450 Ma), may indicate an arc/backarc extension. The M-IV metamorphism occurred in the SAD involves an earlier HP eclogite stage at ∼430 Ma (M-IVa) and a later granulite facies overprinting stage at ∼400 Ma (M-IVb). The M-IVa, together with the G4 adakitic granitoids (450–420 Ma), suggests closing of the backarc basins with crustal thickening. While the M-IVb, along with the G5 A-type granitoids (420–370 Ma), indicates the post-collision extension. Summarizing the regional metamorphism, granitoid magmatism and other geological data, we propose an alternative model to address tectonic evolution of the Altyn Orogen. It involves: (i) the early subduction of the Proto-Tethys Ocean (&gt;522–510 Ma), (ii) subsequent micro-continental subduction and exhumation (510–480 Ma), (iii) late oceanic subduction and arc-backarc extension (475–450 Ma), (iv) closing of the backarc basin and continental subduction-collision (450–420 Ma) in response to the final closure of the Proto-Te","PeriodicalId":11483,"journal":{"name":"Earth-Science Reviews","volume":"262 ","pages":"Article 105067"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143379204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, various studies are conducted on global and regional scales to evaluate changes and trends in precipitation, with more emphasis on extremes. This review assesses existing studies on precipitation trends conducted using <em>in situ</em> data or gauge-based datasets, examining their comparability and consistency to identify regional trends. It also seeks to demonstrate the pressing challenges related to the availability and accessibility of precipitation data, with a particular focus on Africa. The existing gauge-based global and regional studies are limited and generally diverse, making it difficult to infer robust regional trends from their findings. Complex differences are observed in data periods, analysis region, methods, precipitation metrics, and the type of datasets used. This review notes that there is uneven station distribution in each continent, and that this is also mirrored in the existing global datasets, while Africa constitutes one of the least covered global regions. Yet, a few studies agree that long-term precipitation totals exhibit non-significant decreasing trends over northern Africa and significantly decreasing trends in parts of western Africa. Conversely, long-term annual precipitation totals have increased significantly over Asia, northern and central Europe, southern Canada and the eastern United States. Generally, despite accounting for different analysis periods, total and extreme trends match up for most global regions. Areas with significant increasing extreme trends, such as RX1day, RX5day and R95pTOT indices, include South Africa, eastern Asia, Canada, northern and central Europe, northeastern United States, and western Australia. Overall, more efforts are needed to significantly expand station coverage across Africa and ease restrictions to allow greater access to data. Initiatives to establish and monitor climate stations across Africa need to be supported.

However, the mechanisms controlling OM enrichment in freshwater and saline lacustrine environments remain underexplored. This study represents the first application of the random forest (RF) classifier to investigate how paleoclimatic changes influence OM enrichment mechanisms in lacustrine oil shales in China. By analyzing the bulk geochemical (total organic carbon (TOC), trace and major elements) and molecular biomarker data from seven representative lacustrine oil shales, we demonstrate that the RF classifier can effectively discriminate between freshwater and saline lacustrine oil shales. The results indicate that the TOC content is the most significant parameter, with freshwater shales having higher TOC values than their saline counterparts. Further analyses suggest that OM enrichment in these two types of lacustrine settings was driven by a combination of factors, including paleoproductivity, paleowater conditions, and terrigenous inputs, all modulated by paleoclimatic changes. Freshwater lacustrine shales were generally deposited during humid and warm periods with higher atmospheric CO₂ levels and greater precipitation, which led to higher paleoproductivity, reduced terrigenous influx, rising lake levels, and improved OM production and preservation. In contrast, saline lacustrine shales were deposited during dry and cold periods, when increased water salinity and diminished paleoproductivity resulted in lower OM production, reduced preservation, and decreased TOC content. These findings provide key insights into the role of paleoclimate in shaping OM-rich lacustrine shales and establish a framework for evaluating organic-rich shale deposits.

In this study, we present a new comprehensive summary of the geochronological record of the Southeastern Churchill Province (SECP), Trans-Hudson Orogen, Québec, Canada. New time-space diagrams and distribution maps of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic bedrock units form the foundation of our understanding of the tectonic history and cratonization processes in this region.

The Paleoproterozoic record of the SECP provides evidence for the reactivation of inherited structures at the lithospheric scale, limited strike-slip displacement of Archean blocks, and structural control on endowment. These findings align with the previously proposed model of successive accretion of crustal blocks over approximately 100 million years (c. 1900–1800 Ma).

Starting from the mutual transitions between weakly and strongly stable boundary layer states, we review the research progress and application of weak turbulent motions and turbulence intermittency. Turbulent intermittency can be driven by internal (the feedback interaction of wind shear and stability) and external factors (sub-mesoscale motions). We clarified the interaction mechanism between the internal and external factors of turbulent intermittency and elucidated how the interaction affects the evolution of stable boundary layer. Given the widespread existence and importance of sub-mesoscale motion, by separating and quantitatively characterizing sub-mesoscale and turbulent motions from the complex flow fields of stable boundary layers, turbulence intermittency can be identified and quantitatively characterized. Accordingly, the typical characteristics of alternating quiescent and bursting periods of turbulence intermittency events can be determined. Notably, during weak turbulence and quiescent periods of turbulence intermittency, the turbulent transport of matter and energy can be affected by sub-mesoscale motions, has been overestimated easily, relevant corrections are necessary. Eliminating the effects of sub-mesoscale motions can improve the similarity relationships of the stable boundary layers. Moreover, non-stationary turbulent transport during bursting periods of turbulence intermittency events will change the general understanding of classical problems. For example, the surface energy closure rate during the bursting periods can even be very close to totally closure. Turbulence intermittency has wide applications. In this study, turbulence intermittency is combined with haze pollution research to propose the concept of the turbulence barrier effect and investigate the physical mechanisms through which turbulence barriers can be strengthened or broken. The turbulence barrier effect significantly affects turbulent transport of matter, such as carbon dioxide and water vapor; thus, it is vital in practical issues, such as early warning for dust storms and dense fog events. However, three key challenges still require further investigation: physical mechanisms of state transitions and mechanisms of vertical structure evolution in stable boundary layers; physical origins, spatial and temporal evolution patterns, and parameterization of turbulence intermittency; and improvement of the similarity theory of stable boundary layers. Finally, we discussed future research directions on weak turbulence and turbulence intermittency in stable boundary layers, and explored the potential applications of observational facts, theoretical breakthroughs, and simulation advances in stable boundary layers to i","PeriodicalId":11483,"journal":{"name":"Earth-Science Reviews","volume":"262 ","pages":"Article 105062"},"PeriodicalIF":10.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143387949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
