Bone Diagenesis in Short Timescales: Insights from an Exploratory Proteomic Analysis
Biology, 2021 The evaluation of bone diagenetic phenomena in archaeological timescales has a long history; however, little is known about the origins of the microbes driving bone diagenesis, nor about the extent of bone diagenesis in short timeframes—such as in ...

DNA metabarcoding reveals wolf dietary patterns in the northern Alps and Jura Mountains
Wildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for wildlife management and human–wildlife coexistence, particularly in multi‐use landscapes such as western Europe. As wolves Canis lupus recolonize their former habitats, knowledge of their diet is essential for conservation, management and public acceptance.
