Triassic amber Previously unrecorded, the oldest Southern Pangea amber occurs in the Upper Triassic terrestrial deposits of the Fingal Valley Coal Measures (‘Fingal Tier’) of the Upper Parmeener Supergroup of Tasmania, where it was discovered in 2015 (Figs. 2A,C and S1) (see also the Supplementary Text). The amber is found as small (≤1.5 mm long), mostly clear […] More

Sampling sites Core samples were collected from basaltic basement at Sites U1365, U1367, and U1368 in the South Pacific Gyre during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 329 (October 9 through December 13, 2010; Supplementary Fig. 1 and Supplementary Table 1). Although surface heat-flow data from Sites U1365 and U1367 were consistent with those expected for conductive […] More

The interaction between localised vegetation patches in arid and semi-arid landscapes has received only limited attention21. We show that the interaction between localised vegetation patches is always repulsive. Indeed, bounded states of vegetation patches are not allowed. We demonstrate that the repulsive nature of this interaction and the boundary conditions allow for the coexistence of […] More
