This study examines the distribution and morphology of lakes under the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS) to investigate relationships with ice flow velocity, bedrock and basal thermal regime. Palaeo‐ice streams and lobes were important components of the LIS, and properties of lakes in those regions are quantified at high resolution.

Taxonomic Characters in Middle Pleistocene Systematics
Hominin taxonomies distinguish taxa by criteria of time, space, and morphology. These »species« are defined typologically and described using a mixture of primitive and derived characters. The adoption of a cladistic perspective has led to an extension of phylogenetic principles to the problem of taxon definition, and often resulted in the simple ...

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...
