“…2 ) mud with high Ca/Ti and Mn/Fe values, reflecting frequent calcite precipitation in an oxygenated water column. High densities of Ephydridae (brine fly) larval remains at the base of this unit point to proximity of oxygenated hypersaline water ( 26 , 27 ) near the coring site, indicating that Teli was hypersaline already at the onset of this post–4.2 ka filling phase, probably due to dissolution of salt crusts that likely covered the basin floor during the dry stand. The transition to unit II is marked by decreasing values of Ca/Ti and especially Mn/Fe ( Fig.…”

The climate history of the Sahara desert during recent millennia is obscured by the near absence of natural climate archives, hampering insight in the relative importance of southerly (tropical) and northerly (midlatitude) weather systems at submillennial time scales. A new lake sediment record from Ounianga Serir oasis in northern Chad, spanning the Late Holocene without interruption, confirms that immediately before ca 4200 years ago, the Sahara experienced an episode of hyperaridity even more extreme than today’s desert climate. The hypersaline terminal lake which formed afterwards never desiccated during the late Holocene due to continuous inflow of fossil groundwater, yet its water balance was sensitive to temporal variation in local rainfall and lake surface evaporation. Our in-lake geochemical proxies show that, during the last 3000 years, century-scale hydroclimate variation in the central Sahara primarily tracked the intensity of the tropical West African monsoon, modulated at shorter time scales by weather patterns linked to shifts in midlatitude Atlantic Ocean circulation.

“…Zoological macroremains were handpicked from volumetric sediment samples (1 cm 3 ), which were sieved through a 100-lm mesh and identified under a stereomicroscope according to examples by Rumes et al (2005), Brooks et al (2007), and Luoto (2009). For the aims of this study and for the applicability of the proposed method, the mayfly and caddisfly mandibles were identified only to order (Ephemeroptera and Trichoptera).…”

A taxonomic treatment is provided for the Australian fauna of the soldier fly subfamily Hermetiinae, including a diagnosis of the subfamily based on the Australian fauna, a key to the two genera found in Australia, and a key to Australian species of Hermetia Latreille, 1804. The Australian fauna is illustrated and revised, including the redescription and selection of a lectotype for Hermetia pallidipes Hill, 1919, and description of the new species Hermetia hauseri Lessard & Woodley, sp. nov. and Hermetia olympiae Lessard & Woodley, sp. nov. A new monotypic genus, ApisomyIa Woodley & Lessard, gen. nov., is described, based on ApisomyIa bathae Woodley & Lessard, sp. nov. Six genera are now recognised in the Hermetiinae, with two genera and five species known from Australia. [Correction added on 31 January 2019: Genus “Apisomya” and type species “Apisomya bathae” have been corrected to “Apisomyla” and “Apisomyla bathae” respectively in the abstract.]
