Comparing the Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) with the present interglacial period (MIS 1) using a multidimensional functional diversity analysis: The marine molluscs from Santa Maria Island (Azores Archipelago, central Atlantic) as a case study

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine fossil records hold outstanding importance for ecological, evolutionary and biogeographical studies. Santa Maria Island in the Azores Archipelago (central Atlantic) features a remarkable marine fossil record spanning from the Pliocene to recent times.

QUATERNARY STRATIGRAPHY AND SOIL DEVELOPMENT AT THE SOUTHERN BORDER OF THE CENTRAL ALPS (ITALY): THE BAGAGGERA SEQUENCE

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2020
A complcx sequence exposed in clay Pit, near Bagaggera, is described in some details. Palaeomagnetic stratigraphy and archaeologic fillds indicate that the sediments of the Bagaggera basin accumulated at least from Farly Pleistocene up to Late ...

Hominin Footprints from Early Pleistocene Deposits at Happisburgh, UK

PLoS ONE, 2014
Investigations at Happisburgh, UK, have revealed the oldest known hominin footprint surface outside Africa at between ca. 1 million and 0.78 million years ago. The site has long been recognised for the preservation of sediments containing Early Pleistocene fauna and flora, but since 2005 has also yielded humanly made flint artefacts, extending the ...

Veronica paczoskiana is no more than a pine forest ecotype of V. spicata that evolved independently in forest‐steppes of Ukraine and the Altai region

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The Eurasian steppe area has been a dynamic vegetation biome during the Pleistocene with its repeated cycles of forest advances and retreats. Such a scenario allows the evolution of ecotypes at the ecotone with the potential for parallel evolution in different parts of the distribution area.

Ecological limiting factors of early hominins in western Eurasia

One Health & Risk Management, 2023
Introduction. Early hominin (Homo ex. gr. erectus) dispersals from Africa into western Eurasia took place during the Early Pleistocene. Evidence points to the presence of humans in Western Europe, specifically Spain, around 1.1-1.2 Ma and in the ...

The Scelidotheriinae Ameghino, 1904 (Phyllophaga, Xenarthra) from the Ensenadan–Lujanian Stage/Ages (Early Pleistocene to Early-Middle Pleistocene–Early Holocene) of Argentina

Quaternary International, 2009
Abstract Review of the specimens assigned to Scelidotheriinae (Phyllophaga, Xenarthra) from the Ensenadan–Lujanian Stage/Ages of Argentina, showed that two genera are recognized for this territory: Scelidotherium (Owen) and Scelidodon (Ameghino), with the following species: Scelidotherium bravardi (Lydekker), for the Ensenadan Stage/Age (Early ...

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 ...
