Vegetation of the Witbank Nature Reserve and its importance for conservation of threatened Rocky Highveld Grassland by C.M. Smit, G.J. Bredenkamp, N. van Rooyen, A.E. van Wyk, J.M. Combrinck

“…Floristic composition indicates that the vegetation of the Rocky Highveld Grassland has affinities to the grassland and savanna biomes and also to the Afromontane vegetation of the Great Escarpment. An ordination scatter diagram shows the distribution of the 14 plant communities or sub-communities along a soil moisture gradient, as well as along a soil depth/surface rock gradient. …”

Lithospheric flexure, uplift, and landscape evolution in south-central England by Watts, A, McKerrow, W, Fielding, E

“…The present day Cotswold escarpment ranges from 70 to 215 m: this uplift must therefore have occurred after deposition of the Northern Drift Group, when the drainage of the Midlands appears to have shifted from towards the Thames basin to the Bristol Channel area. …”

Generation of high-frequency topographic Rossby waves in the Gulf of Mexico by Alexis Johnson Exley, Kathleen A. Donohue, D. Randolph Watts, Karen L. Tracey, Maureen A. Kennelly

“…TRWs captured by the CPIES array will likely intensify as wavelengths shorten in steeper topography along propagation pathways towards the Sigsbee Escarpment, generating hazardous currents with the potential to disrupt oil and gas operations in the region.…”

A new species of Pseudotrapelus (Reptilia: Squamata: Agamidae) from Central Arabia by Karin Tamar, Marek Uvizl, Mohammed Shobrak, Mohammed Almutairi, Salem Busais, Al Faqih Ali Salim, Raed Hamoud M. AlGethami, Abdulaziz Raqi AlGethami, Abdulkarim Saleh K. Alanazi, Saad Dasman Alsubaie, Laurent Chirio, Salvador Carranza, Jiří Šmíd

“…With the inclusion of additional specimens, we were able to describe this lineage as a new species, P. tuwaiqensis sp. nov., confined to the Tuwaiq Escarpment, thus endemic to central Saudi Arabia. Our results of morphological examinations and molecular analyses, using three mitochondrial (COI, 16S, ND4-tRNAs) and two nuclear (c-mos, MC1R) gene fragments, show the new species is genetically differentiated and phylogenetically close to P. sinaitus and P. chlodnickii.…”
