TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of system-wide extraction of high-SiO2 interstitial melt from the mushes was analyzed, which can rationalize a number of observations in both the plutonic and volcanic record, such as abrupt compositional gaps in ignimbrites, the presence of chemically highly evolved bodies at the roof of subvolcanic batholiths, and the observed range of ages recorded by zircons in silicic magmas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare a variety of growth and resorption histories of the Fish Canyon Tuff and Nutras Creek Dacite (a volumetrically minor lava).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that combined field, thermal, geochemical, and geophysical observations favor residual melt extraction from crystalline mushes as the likely scenario in all tectonic settings.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the possibility of using Zr and P systematics to evaluate the importance of some of these processes, such as direct melting of the mantle at water-saturated conditions, partial remelting of altered basaltic crust, crystal fractionation of arc basalts in crustal magma chambers, and mixing of mafic magmas with high Si crust or magmas, e.g., dacite-rhyolite.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on recent claims that magma columns within the Earth's crust are mostly kept at high crystallinity (mush zones) and that the dynamics within those mush columns, albeit modulated by external factors (e.g., regional stress field, rheology of the crust, pre-existing tectonic structure), play an important role in controlling how magmas evolve, degas, and ultimately erupt.
