Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2013 New and detailed taphonomic and stratigraphical analyses have been carried out at the early Late Pleistocene site of “La Grave”, nearby Avetrana (Taranto, Southern Italy). These, together with population analyses of the principal species represented (Bos

Geological processes shaping freshwater biodiversity: a synthesis of global evidence
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Recent genomic data highlight the key roles of geological processes in shaping the diversification and biogeography of freshwater lineages. Specifically, physical processes such as tectonic uplift, erosion, glaciation, lake formation, and sea‐level fluctuation contribute extensively to the evolution of biotic diversity within and among ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.The present study uses the Modified Mohr‐Coulomb true‐triaxial failure criterion (MMC_TT), which predicts the strength of rock better than the MGC criterion in laboratory true‐triaxial tests to overcome the limitations. Moreover, based on the data from previously published five vertical wells in the Krishna‐Godavari basin (K‐G basin), an empirical ...

Quantifying the unrecorded loss of avian phylogenetic diversity
Ecography, EarlyView.Humans have drastically reduced avian diversity, with the majority of extinctions occurring on islands. Previous studies have quantified various aspects of this decline, including both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity loss due to recorded extinctions.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The sedimentary succession at Whittlesey preserves a unique British late Middle Pleistocene to Holocene record back to a time equivalent to at least marine oxygen isotope stage 8 (ca. 250 ka). This study builds on previously published sedimentology, geochronology and palaeoecology results to establish 20 sedimentary facies associations, with ...

NEW PLEISTOCENE FISSURE-FILLING DEPOSITS FROM THE HYBLEAN PLATEAU (SOUTH EASTERN SICILY)
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2017 On the Hyblean Plateau (south eastern Sicily) at Contrada Cimillà, south west of Ragusa, the infillings of a karstic cavity on the carbonatic Ragusa platform has yielded abundant Pleistocene mammal bones.

Assessing the intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in the Nefud Desert, northern Arabia
Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The climate history of the major dryland zones of the world, such as the Saharo–Arabian Desert belt, plays a key role in the dispersal of early humans through these intermittently inhospitable regions. Here, we assess the relative intensity of Late Quaternary humid phases in northern Arabia through lithological, geochemical, palaeoecological ...

GeosciencesThe Mid-Piacenzian Warm Interval (MPWI) is marked by warmer temperatures and higher atmospheric CO2 levels than today, making it an analogue for late-21st-century-warming, whereas the early Pleistocene cooling is more like today.

MIDDLE PLEISTOCENE SMALL MAMMAL fAUNAS Of EUROPE: EVOLUTION, BIOSTRATIGRAPHY, CORRELATIONS
Geography, Environment, Sustainability, 2018 The paper is concerned with the small mammal fauna evolution in Europe in the Middle Pleistocene. The information on the faunas of the end of the Early Pleistocene has been also taken into consideration.
