Stratigraphic reassessment of Grotta Romanelli sheds light on Middle-Late Pleistocene palaeoenvironments and human settling in the Mediterranean

Scientific Reports, 2022
During the last century, Grotta Romanelli (Southern Italy) has been a reference site for the European Late Pleistocene stratigraphy, due to its geomorphological setting and archaeological and palaeontological content.

Early evidence of stone tool use in bone working activities at Qesem Cave, Israel [PDF]

, 2016
For a long while, the controversy surrounding several bone tools coming from pre-Upper Palaeolithic contexts favoured the view of Homo sapiens as the only species of the genus Homo capable of modifying animal bones into specialised tools.

Chibanian, Middle Pleistocene

, 2022
In Japan, studies and researches of the earth started in the late 19th Century after the opening of the doors to the western countries. Japanese had to learn most geological concepts discovered in the western countries. A few concepts such as tsunami, Wadati-Benioff zone and Brunhes-Matuyama reversal have been given Japanese or partly Japanese names ...

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

The Late Early–Middle Pleistocene Mammal Fauna from the Megalopolis Basin (Peloponnese, Greece) and Its Importance for Biostratigraphy and Paleoenvironment

Quaternary
Recent investigations in the upper Lower–Middle Pleistocene deposits of the Megalopolis Basin (Greece) led to the discovery of several sites/findspots with abundant faunal material. Here, we provide an updated overview including new results on the micro-

First fossil turtle from Hainan Island, China [PDF]

Research & Knowledge, 2015
Although Hainan Island is one of the richest regions for living turtle species in China, no fossil turtle had hitherto been discovered there. In this paper we report on a partial turtle shell from the Middle Pleistocene of Xinchong Cave, Changjing ...

Tracing the origins and evolution of nymphalid butterflies (Lepidoptera) in the Atlantic Forest

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding the relative roles of diversification and dispersal is key to explaining large‐scale biogeographical patterns. Although both processes are known to shape biodiversity, their relative contributions remain understudied for many organisms. Here, we examine how these processes have jointly contributed to the exceptional diversity and endemism

Quaternary deposition and erosion in the northeastern Sunda Strait: An interplay between sea level, tectonics, and magmatic activity

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X
The northeastern Sunda Strait is a narrow strait separating Java and Sumatra islands. Currently, it forms a seaway between the Java Sea and the Indian Ocean.

Replacement of Ores Recorded by Textures and Chemical Compositions of Sphalerite: An Example From the Furutobe Kuroko Deposit, Akita, Japan

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
Coupled dissolution‐reprecipitation of early formed Cd‐, Fe‐, Ag‐ and Sb‐poor sphalerite through interaction with high‐temperature and high‐sulphur fugacity Cu‐rich fluids, responsible for the formation of the yellow ores, resulted in the formation of Cd‐, Fe‐, Ag‐ and Sb‐rich, heavily chalcopyrite‐diseased sphalerite and enrichment of critical metals ...
