A new late Pleistocene fossil crocodile from Sudan reveals hidden diversity of Crocodylus in Africa [PDF]

Scientific Reports
While Crocodylus fossils are common in late Cenozoic deposits of Africa, there is a lack of knowledge about species diversity within the genus, especially after the Early Pleistocene. Here we report on a complete skull of a new fossil Crocodylus from the

Vegetation context and climatic limits of the Early Pleistocene hominin dispersal in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
The vegetation and the climatic context in which the first hominins entered and dispersed in Europe during the Early Pleistocene are reconstructed, using literature review and a new climatic simulation. Both in situ fauna and in situ pollen at the twelve

Identification of the late Quaternary activity of the littoral fault zone at the Northern Jiangsu province in China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
It has been accepted that a littoral fault zone (LFZ) exists at the Northern Jiangsu Province, but its geometric distribution and the late Quaternary activity are still controversial. In this study, to constrain its late Quaternary activity, we collected

Population dynamics and demographic history of Eurasian collared lemmings

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Background Ancient DNA studies suggest that Late Pleistocene climatic changes had a significant effect on population dynamics in Arctic species. The Eurasian collared lemming (Dicrostonyx torquatus) is a keystone species in the Arctic ecosystem.

Late Pleistocene stratigraphic sequence and geologic significance of the Kaolao Tableland in the Yuncheng Basin

Dizhi lixue xuebao, 2023
The ancient Fen River diversion was a crucial earth's surface transformation in the Yuncheng Basin during the Cenozoic. The time frame for the diversion of the ancient Fen River is still characterized by two views: the middle Pleistocene and the late ...
