Large-scale mitogenomic analysis of the phylogeography of the Late Pleistocene cave bear
The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) is one of the Late Pleistocene megafauna species that faced extinction at the end of the last ice age. Although it is represented by one of the largest fossil records in Europe and has been subject to several ...

Murray-Darling basin freshwater shells: riverine reservoir effect [PDF]
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

Geometric morphometrics and paleoproteomics enlighten the paleodiversity of Pongo.
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 ...

Metagenomic analyses of the late Pleistocene permafrost – additional tools for reconstruction of environmental conditions [PDF]
A comparative analysis of the metagenomes from two 30 000-year-old permafrost samples, one of lake-alluvial origin and the other from late Pleistocene Ice Complex sediments, revealed significant differences within microbial communities.
