Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Reptiles and their conservation in south-west Ukraine
OryxKnowledge of the spatial distribution of reptiles is essential for decision-making in conservation under future climate change scenarios. We present a new compilation of reptile records for Odesa Oblast (i.e. province), south-west Ukraine.

The ecological associations of surface-dwelling lizards in Qom Province in the Northwest of Central Plateau of Iran. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We used pitfall trapping to investigate the effects of elevation, plant density and soil structure on species diversity and the impact of these habitat factors on lizard habitat selectivity in the Qom Province in the Central Plateau of Iran. From a total

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 6, Page 602-615, June 2026.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle
Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 1, Page 25-37, May 2026.In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 1204-1217, April 2026.Abstract The surface area of organisms is a key parameter in ecological and evolutionary applications. For example, surface area‐dependent traits such as rates of cutaneous water loss and of heat absorbed are relevant for predicting animal desiccation rates and body temperatures.

No Evidence for Pace of Life Evolution Along Elevational Gradients in Squamate Reptiles
Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.Ecological conditions can significantly influence the trade‐off between survival, growth, and reproduction, leading to evolutionary divergence in life‐history traits among populations experiencing different environments. The pace of life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) proposes that additional suites of traits, from physiology to behaviour, adaptively co ...
