Murray-Darling basin freshwater shells: riverine reservoir effect [PDF]
, 2009 We report carbon isotope measurements on pre-bomb museum samples of freshwater mussel shells collected alive from riverine locations in New South Wales, Australia. The calculated reservoir ages, ranging from -60 to +112 years, are much smaller than those

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

Geometric morphometrics and paleoproteomics enlighten the paleodiversity of Pongo.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Pleistocene Pongo teeth show substantial variation in size and morphology, fueling taxonomic debates about the paleodiversity of the genus. We investigated prominent features of the enamel-dentine-junction junction (EDJ)-phylogenetically informative ...
