Life, 2023
Due to poisoning and decline in the food resources of Eurasian vultures, there has been a rise in the number of Griffon (Gyps fulvus) and Cinereous vultures (Aegypius monachus) needing veterinary care.

Assessing genetic diversity in a reintroduced Mediterranean griffon vulture Gyps fulvus population to inform long‐term conservation management

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reintroductions play a key role in conservation biology. Their long‐term success strongly depends on maximizing the genetic diversity of founders, as well as on ensuring ecological connectivity with adjacent populations. Accordingly, evaluating the conservation status of reintroduced populations to limit the loss of their genetic diversity requires ...

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

The emergence and complexification of symbolic practices in the Homo lineage: an archaeological and cognitive perspective Émergence et complexification des pratiques symboliques dans la lignée Homo : une approche archéologique et cognitive

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent archaeological discoveries, reviewed in this essay, challenge traditional views on the emergence of human symbolic cognition. Once believed to have originated in Europe around 40,000 years ago, new evidence shows it emerged much earlier across diverse regions.
