Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 5-32, January 2026.Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

Novel substrates as sources of ancient DNA: : prospects and hurdles [PDF]
, 2017 Following the discovery in the late 1980s that hard tissues such as bones and teeth preserve genetic information, the field of ancient DNA analysis has typically concentrated upon these substrates.

Geoarchaeological Investigation of Early Neolithic Lagoonal Fringe Landscapes in the Netherlands
Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Coastal wetlands have historically been portrayed as too marginal for early crop cultivation during the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition due to their dynamic hydrology, low elevation, and poor drainage. However, growing evidence suggests that these environments played a crucial role in the spread of agriculture. We examined buried and submerged
