Food web reconstruction of Barmaky, the oldest post‐LGM hunter‐gatherer site in north‐western Ukraine

Boreas, EarlyView.
The site of Barmaky currently marks the oldest Epigravettian occupation of north‐western Ukraine shortly after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), dated to around 19 cal. ka BP. Stable isotope analyses of bone collagen from six terrestrial mammals and two bird species show a comparatively highly structured palaeo‐food web.

Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years

Boreas, EarlyView.
The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly

Exploring Ice Cave Biodiversity in Northeastern Italy

Diversity
The ice stored in caves is a widespread yet neglected cryospheric component. The cold-adapted biodiversity of ice caves has received very little attention from research, despite the potential abundance of endemic troglobiotic and cryophilic species and ...

Implications of spatial distributions of snow mass and melt rate for snow-cover depletion: observations in a subarctic mountain catchment [PDF]

, 2004
Spatial statistics of snow water equivalent (SWE) and melt rate were measured using spatially distributed, sequential ground surveys of depth and density in forested, shrub and alpine tundra environments over several seasons within a 185 km(2) mountain ...

Combining morphological and molecular data to study past foraminiferal communities from a temperate coastal sediment core

Boreas, EarlyView.
This paper presents the results of a dual approach for assessing fossil benthic foraminiferal communities using both traditional morphology‐based analyses and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) metabarcoding. The main objectives are to test the feasibility of sedaDNA analyses to assess foraminiferal biodiversity in temperate shelf sediments (Le Croisic,

Ice Cores from the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon, Canada: Their Significance for Climate, Atmospheric Composition and Volcanism in the North Pacific Region [PDF]

, 2014
A major achievement in research supported by the Kluane Lake Research Station was the recovery, in 2001 –02, of a suite of cores from the icefields of the central St.

Automated X‐ray computed tomography‐based analysis of clast fabric in drill‐cores of glacial diamicts using deep learning models

Boreas, EarlyView.
Clast‐fabric analysis is a widely used method for investigating depositional and deformation processes in glacial sediments. However, traditional field‐based approaches lack standardization, are time consuming and introduce sampling bias. This study aimed to develop a novel approach to automate clast‐fabric analysis using machine learning‐based image ...

Modelling of hydrological response to climate change in glacierized Central Asian catchments [PDF]

, 2007
The arid lowlands of Central Asia are highly dependent on the water supplied by the Tien Shan mountains. Snow and ice storage make large contributions to current runoff, particularly in summer.

Shoreline and deglaciation chronology in southeast Norway

Boreas, EarlyView.
The postglacial relative sea level history is reconstructed in four areas of mid‐ and inner Oslofjorden in southeast Norway. The reconstructions are based on radiocarbon‐dated raised shoreline levels from 42 sites, mainly isolation basins, and limiting ages from four lakes above the marine limit.

Living on the edge: Pleistocene ice‐free refugia and collared lemming (Dicrostonyx sp.) in the North American High Arctic

Boreas, EarlyView.
Comparing the morphological variation of North American collared lemming with climatic and geographic features, as well as genetic insight and the ice sheet extend, indicate the strong geographic structure underlying the morphological diversity of the genus, that might be linked with a local Pleistocene survival in the High Arctic.
