Vegetation Changes in Southeastern Siberia During the Late Pleistocene and the Holocene
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Relationships between climate, species composition, and species richness are of particular importance for understanding how boreal ecosystems will respond to ongoing climate change.

Introduced herbivores restore Late Pleistocene ecological functions [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020 Significance Humans have caused extinctions of large-bodied mammalian herbivores over the past ∼100,000 y, leading to cascading changes in ecosystems. Conversely, introductions of herbivores have, in part, numerically compensated for extinction losses. However, the net outcome of the twin anthropogenic forces of extinction and introduction on

A Late Pleistocene sea level stack [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 Late Pleistocene sea level has been reconstructed from ocean sediment core data using a wide variety of proxies and models. However, the accuracy of individual reconstructions is limited by measurement error, local variations in salinity and temperature,

Human social organization during the Late Pleistocene: Beyond the nomadic-egalitarian model
Evolution and human behavior, 2022 Many researchers assume that until 10-12,000 years ago, humans lived in small, mobile, relatively egalitarian bands composed mostly of kin. This “nomadic-egalitarian model” informs evolutionary explanations of behavior and our understanding of how ...

The deep population history of northern East Asia from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene.
Cell, 2021 Northern East Asia was inhabited by modern humans as early as 40 thousand years ago (ka), as demonstrated by the Tianyuan individual. Using genome-wide data obtained from 25 individuals dated to 33.6-3.4 ka from the Amur region, we show that Tianyuan ...

Evolution of Homo in the Middle and Late Pleistocene.
J Hum Evol, 2022 The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage, as well as that of our sister taxon, the Neanderthals, and related Denisovans.

Rapid range shifts and megafaunal extinctions associated with late Pleistocene climate change
Nature Communications, 2020 Large-scale changes in global climate at the end of the Pleistocene significantly impacted ecosystems across North America. However, the pace and scale of biotic turnover in response to both the Younger Dryas cold period and subsequent Holocene rapid ...

Quaternary marine transgressions in eastern China
Journal of Palaeogeography, 2012 Based on the data from 117 holes (9151 samples) and the research on ecology and palaeoecology of Foraminifera combined with that on Ostracoda, diatoms, pollen and spores, eight marine transgressions have been recognized in the great plain regions through

Macaca sylvanus Linnaeus 1758 from the Middle Pleistocene of Quecchia Quarry (Brescia, Northern Italy) [PDF]
, 2016 During the Plio-Pleistocene the Barbary macaque, Macaca sylvanus Linnaeus, 1758 was widely distributed throughout Europe and North Africa (Szalay and Delson, 1979; Delson, 1980; Rook et al., 2001), and it became extinct in Europe during the Late ...

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2013 New and detailed taphonomic and stratigraphical analyses have been carried out at the early Late Pleistocene site of “La Grave”, nearby Avetrana (Taranto, Southern Italy). These, together with population analyses of the principal species represented (Bos
