Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Strongyloides ferreirai Rodrigues, Vicente & Gomes, 1985 (Nematoda, Rhabdiasoidea) in rodent coprolites (8.000-2.000 years BP), from archaeological sites from Piauí, Brazil Strongyloides ferreirai Rodrigues, Vicente & Gomes, 1985 (Nematoda, Rhabdiasoidea) em coprólitos de roedores (8.000-2.000 anos AP= Antes do Presente), de sítios arqueológicos do Piauí, Brasil

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1989
Eggs and larvae of Strongyloides ferreirai Rodrigues, Vicente & Gomes, 1985 are identified in Kerodon rupestris (Wied.) coprolites dated from 8.000-2.000 years BP (Before Present), collected from archaeological sites from the northeast of Brazil.Ovos e ...

Depositional and stratigraphic evolution of a Permian megalake system: Implications for seiche‐influenced models

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 2, April 2026.
During the Late Permian, the rise of the Gondwanides Belt trapped marine waters, giving birth to a vast megalake. This lake shifted between overfilled, balanced‐fill and underfilled stages that are recorded by high‐frequency accommodation changes, while meteorological seiches shaped the sedimentary dynamic and produced heterolithic beds.

Paleoparasitology and the antiquity of human host-parasite relationships

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
Paleoparasitology may be developed as a new tool to parasite evolution studies. DNA sequences dated thousand years ago, recovered from archaeological material, means the possibility to study parasite-host relationship coevolution through time.

A Tick From a Prehistoric Arizona Coprolite

Journal of Parasitology, 2008
Ticks have never been reported in archaeological analyses. Here, we present the discovery of a tick from a coprolite excavated from Antelope Cave in extreme northwest Arizona. Dietary analysis indicates that the coprolite has a human origin. This archaeological occupation is associated with the Ancestral Pueblo culture (Anasazi).

Helminths as architects of trained tolerance: implications for human health

Clinical &Translational Immunology, Volume 15, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Helminths infect nearly 2 billion people worldwide and are a major cause of chronic morbidity in low‐resource regions. Unlike bacterial and viral pathogens that elicit protective memory, helminths actively remodel host immunity to enable their years‐long persistence and reinfection.

Oldest Cretaceous latimeriid elucidates cranial evolution in derived and extant coelacanths (Actinistia, Latimeriidae)

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract The fossil record of coelacanths (Actinistia) is diminished by several nominal gaps that obscure vital information pertaining to the clade's evolutionary history. Latimeriidae, the family that includes the extant coelacanth Latimeria, in addition to the Cenozoic, has an outstanding missing gap of 50 myr during the Mesozoic, with no records of ...

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 354-362, March 2026.
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.

Palaeoecology of Middle Devonian epizoans and their Paraspirifer hosts

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 2, 2026.
Abstract The Silica Shale brachiopod, Paraspirifer bownockeri, of Ohio and Michigan, USA, preserves a unique window into Middle Devonian communities, as individuals hosted numerous epibionts. Herein, we use qualitative and quantitative methods to test hypotheses regarding the palaeoecology of these brachiopod hosts and their epibionts.
