From Pigeons to Raptors: Avifauna Across the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Manot Cave, Israel

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 526-541, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Avian exploitation during the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) is frequently interpreted as a marker of socioeconomic intensification across Europe and the Levant. However, the specific character of avian exploitation in the Levant has remained unexplored due to the scarcity of detailed zooarchaeological analyses. This study addresses this gap by

An Upper Cretaceous arthropod assemblage from Villaggio del Pescatore (Campanian, Italy) and its implications for peri‐Tethyan palaeobiogeography and palaeoecology

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The Villaggio del Pescatore (VdP) fossil Lagerstätte represents the most significant Upper Cretaceous (lower–middle Campanian) palaeontological locality in Italy and the Mediterranean region. We present the first systematic revision of the VdP fossil assemblage with a focus on its previously undescribed arthropod fauna, providing new insights ...

Wet Lab Protocols Matter: Choice of DNA Extraction and Library Preparation Protocols Bias Ancient Oral Microbiome Recovery

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 8, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Ancient DNA (aDNA) analysis of archaeological dental calculus has provided a wealth of insights into ancient health, demography and lifestyles. However, the workflow for ancient metagenomics is still evolving, raising concerns about reproducibility.

Estudo de coprólito da bacia sedimentar do Araripe por meios de espectroscopia FT-IR e difração de Raios-X Study of coprolites from the Araripe sedimentary basin through FT-IR spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction

Química Nova, 2007
Coprolites are fossilized faeces that constitute an important source of palaeobiological informations. This paper describes the characterization of some coprolite materials originated from the Romualdo Member of the Santana Formation (Araripe Basin ...

Jurassic tracks and HS2: a twenty‐first century journey

Geology Today, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 234-243, November/December 2025.
The biggest UK railway construction site since the nineteenth century has exposed a near‐complete time slice through the entire Jurassic succession of central England. This is yielding a wealth of stratigraphical, palaeobiological and palaeoenvironmental data that is otherwise generally poorly exposed at the present day.

Eating lizards: a millenary habit evidenced by Paleoparasitology

BMC Research Notes, 2012
Background Analyses of coprolites have contributed to the knowledge of diet as well as infectious diseases in ancient populations. Results of paleoparasitological studies showed that prehistoric groups were exposed to spurious and zoonotic parasites ...

A unique Valanginian paleoenvironment at an iron ore deposit near Zengővárkony (Mecsek Mts, South Hungary), and a possible genetic model [PDF]

, 2007
The spatially restricted Early Valanginian iron ore (limonite) and manganese deposit at Zengõvárkony (Mecsek Mts, southern Hungary) contains a rich, strongly limonitized, remarkably large-sized (specimens are 30–70% larger than those at their type ...
