Geomorphic Effects and Habitat Impacts of Large Wood at Restoration Sites in New England

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large wood (used interchangeably with the term “instream wood”), which refers to trees, logs and other wood within a channel, is beneficial to river ecosystems and is being used more frequently as a component of river restoration projects. We identified metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of large wood to promote ecological and geomorphic ...

Late Pleistocene and Holocene aeolian sedimentation in Gonghe Basin, northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau: Variability, processes, and climatic implications

, 2016
Although stratigraphic sequences of aeolian deposits in dryland areas have long been recognized as providing information about past environments, the exact nature of the environmental processes they reflect remains unclear. Here, we report the results of

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

The Early Upper Palaeolithic in British caves: problems and potential Le Paléolithique supérieur ancien dans les grottes de Grande‐Bretagne : problèmes et potentiels

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

SPOTTED HYAENA SPOTTED ON ISLAND: THE UPPER PLEISTOCENE HYAENAS FROM SAN TEODORO CAVE (SICILY, ITALY) PROVIDE NEW INSIGHTS ON THE PALAEOBIOLOGY, PALAEOECOLOGY, AND SOCIALITY OF CROCUTA

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
Fossil remains of spotted hyaena (Crocuta crocuta Erxleben, 1777) are commonly found across Eurasian and African Late Pleistocene sites, especially in cave deposits. While this species had a wide geographic distribution, palaeontological evidence of its
