The role of teeth in mammal History

Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015
Teeth are more than hard structures for cutting, grinding and/or crushing food. Teeth, living or dead, have much to contribute to the study of ecology, paleontology, functional morphology and systematic.

Late Quaternary lake filling and drying in northern Australia's largest freshwater lake

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lake Woods, Jurrkulu, is northern Australia's largest freshwater lake filled today in strong Indo–Australian summer monsoons (IASM) to maximum depths of ~5 m. On the western margins of the lake, two large arcuate ridges occur 20 to 40 m above the lake floor and inset within these are other mid‐elevation lake deposits, such as depositional ...

New insights into pterosaur cranial anatomy: X-ray imaging reveals palatal structure and evolutionary trends

Communications Biology
Among the least studied portion of the pterosaur skeleton is the palate, which tends to be poorly preserved and commonly only visible from one side (the ventral portion).

Climate‐modulated accumulation and erosion of sediments in the Rodderberg crater basin for the last 439 ka (East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glacial/interglacial climate cycles since marine isotope stage (MIS) 12 influenced the discontinuous and 73 m‐long sediment record from the volcanic crater of Rodderberg in the East Eifel Volcanic Field, Germany. High‐resolution grain size and geochemical data have been valued by numerical dating techniques (radiocarbon and luminescence dating,

Forest or tundra? How different vegetation reconstructions of Last Glacial landscapes in Europe may shape our perception of early human dispersal processes

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Regional variability and long‐term changes of past ecosystems likely had a strong impact on hunter–gatherer population dynamics, including the expansion of anatomically modern humans and the disappearance of Neanderthals. However, our understanding of these ecosystems remains limited, even when looking at large‐scale patterns, such as the ...

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...
