Palynological, tephra, and 14C records from southern Kaitoke, Great Barrier (Aotea) Island, New Zealand, since c. 30,000 cal. yr BP

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 63, Issue 5, Page 1096-1114, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Here we present results of the last remaining three, unreported pollen and stratigraphic profiles from our previous investigations on Great Barrier Island from southern Kaitoke. The 14C and pollen data extend the island's previous maximum pollen‐vegetation date from c. 7000 cal. yr BP to close to the end of MIS 3 c. 30,000 cal. yr BP.

A short trackway of tridactyl fossil footprints discovered in the Kaipara region of the North Island of New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 816-830, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fossil trackways record snapshots of the lives of ancient animals. A short trackway of unwebbed tridactyl footprints from the Kaipara region of the North Island of New Zealand contributes to the growing record of fossil footprints discovered in Aotearoa.

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

Human Coprolites as a Source for Paleomicrobiology

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
The paleomicrobiology of coprolites, which are fossilized fecal materials, has already yielded data about various organisms, including micro-eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea, thus expanding our comprehension of ancient human dietary habits, gut microbiota, and intestinal and systemic infections.

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.
