Fish and other faunal remains from a Late Iron Age site on the Letaba River, Kruger National Park

open access: yesKoedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1991
Fish remains from Late Iron Age sites in the Transvaal are relatively scarce. It seems as if the people did not utilize the riverine resources extensively.

THE LARGE FOSSIL MAMMALS FROM FROM BUIA (ERITREA):SYSTEMATICS, BIOCHRONOLOGY AND PALEOENVIRONMENTS

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2004
This paper offers a preliminary overview on the large fossil mammals (Primates, Hyaenidae, Proboscidea, Rhinocerotidae, Equidae, Hippopotamidae, Suidae, Giraffidae, and Bovidae) from the Early Pleistocene sedimentary succession of the Dandiero (Buia ...

Biogeography of tenebrionid beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in the circum-Sicilian islands (Italy, Sicily): Multiple biogeographical patterns require multiple explanations

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2011
The tenebrionid beetles on 25 circum-Sicilian islands were studied to determine the influence of island geographical and landscape features on three main intercorrelated biogeographical patterns: (1) species richness, studied using species-area and ...

When did the ‘Neolithic package’ reach Lepenski Vir? Radiometric and faunal evidence

open access: yesDocumenta Praehistorica, 2007
A recent dating program on animal bone samples from Lepenski Vir, along with faunal and various archaeometric analyses, allows us to suggest a new stratigraphic and chronological sequence for the Mesolithic-Neolithic site of Lepenski Vir in the north ...

Shark behaviour and marine faunal assemblage beneath SMART drumlines

open access: yesFisheries Research, 2021
Abstract Over the last decade, an increase in the annual rate of shark bites on people has stimulated the development of new techniques aimed at reducing their occurrence, while minimising negative impacts to marine wildlife. One such technique is the SMART (Shark-Management-Alert-in-Real-Time) drumline, which allows for the capture and relocation of

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

open access: yesRivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2023
The Grăunceanu site in the Olteţ River Valley has yielded a rich carnivoran assemblage including at least 10, possibly 11 species: Vulpes alopecoides, Nyctereutes megamastoides, Ursus etruscus, Meles thorali, Lutraeximia sp., Pliocrocuta perrieri, Lynx ...

Macro-Fouling Faunal Assemblage in Hambantota Port

open access: yesProceedings of International Forestry and Environment Symposium, 2017
Invasive species recognized as one of the greatest threats to global biodiversity and biofouling on submerged structures within a port environments is one of the major pathways of invasions by Non Indigenous Species (NIS). Early detection and monitoring of such deleterious organisms is crucial, since control is nearly impossible once established.

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Inter‐ and intraspecific variation in theropod dinosaur dental microwear and its palaeoecological implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).
