Preservation biases in the fossil record distort species ecological niche and distribution models

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ecological niche models (ENMs) increasingly leverage the fossil record to understand species' environmental associations and predict their geographic distributions. However, fossils do not occur uniformly through time and space, which can compromise the robustness of ENMs and thus affect ecological conclusions. Here, we assessed how preservation biases

The role, opportunities and challenges of 3D and geo-ICT in archaeology [PDF]

, 2014
Archaeology joins in the trend of three-dimensional (3D) data and geospatial information technology (geo-ICT). Currently, the spatial archaeological data acquired is 3D and mostly used to create realistic visualizations. Geographical information systems (

Comparing non‐staining methods with Mutvei's solution to visualize growth increments in short‐lived intertidal marine gastropod shells

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Mutvei's solution is a widely utilized standard staining method for revealing growth increments in biogenic carbonates; however, it is a slightly toxic, destructive approach with varying success across species groups. Therefore, there has been growing interest in finding non‐toxic, less destructive, and straightforward alternative techniques ...

Osteometry of Duck Species in Northwestern Europe—A Reassessment of Woelfle's (1967) Dataset

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study revisits and expands upon Elisabeth Woelfle's (1967) foundational analysis of bone morphology and osteometry, which has long been a key reference for zooarcheological identification of duck species in northwestern Europe. By examining Woelfle's unpublished measuring protocols and incorporating 523 newly measured specimens, we ...

Investigation on the automatic geo-referencing of archaeological UAV photographs by correlation with pre-existing ortho-photos [PDF]

, 2014
We present a method for the automatic geo-referencing of archaeological photographs captured aboard unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), termed UPs. We do so by help of pre-existing ortho-photo maps (OPMs) and digital surface models (DSMs).

Lions as Bone Accumulators? Exploring Multi‐Predator Contributions to the Olduvai Carnivore Site (OCS) (Tanzania) Through AI and Metric Analyses

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lions (Panthera leo) are apex predators with a well‐documented influence on ecological dynamics, yet their potential role as bone‐accumulating agents remains poorly understood and often debated. Previous taphonomic studies have largely attributed bone accumulations in African savannah ecosystems to other carnivores, such as spotted hyenas ...
