Prerequisites for a computational approach to Minoan chronology
Archaeometry, Volume 67, Issue S1, Page 110-130, June 2025.Abstract The paper examines the development, adoption, and limitations of the relative chronology system for Minoan pottery, initially established by Sir Arthur Evans and Duncan Mackenzie during the excavation of Knossos (1900–1906). Despite its weaknesses, this system remained largely unchanged due to its convenience rather than its accuracy.

Neolithic ceramic spoons – indicators of dietary distinctiveness in the eastern Adriatic Neolithic?
Documenta Praehistorica, 2015 Among the rich and diverse archaeological finds collected at more than fifty known Neolithic sites in the entire area of the eastern Adriatic and its hinterland, ceramic spoons comprise a group of very rare and almost marginalised items. Only eight examples, discovered in the northern and central Dalmatia region (hinterland of Zadar and πibenik), at ...

Wildlife trade investigations benefit from multivariate stable isotope analyses
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1083-1104, June 2025.ABSTRACT The investigation of wildlife trade and crime has benefitted from advances in technology and scientific development in a variety of fields. Stable isotope analysis (SIA) represents one rapidly developing approach that has considerable potential to contribute to wildlife trade investigation, especially in complementing other methods including ...

Multi‐response phylogenetic mixed models: concepts and application
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 3, Page 1294-1316, June 2025.ABSTRACT The scale and resolution of trait databases and molecular phylogenies is increasing rapidly. These resources permit many open questions in comparative biology to be addressed with the right statistical tools. Multi‐response (MR) phylogenetic mixed models (PMMs) offer great potential for multivariate analyses of trait evolution.

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Human activity has reshaped ecological communities for thousands of years. While these activities have typically led to habitat loss, some species have successfully exploited human environments. However, the effects of long‐term human land‐use on the distributions of such species are poorly understood.

The Role of Migration in the Change of Northern Hemisphere Vegetation for the Past 50,000 Years
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Our primary aim was to assess how dispersal limitation affected forest changes in the Northern Hemisphere during the last glacial cycle, and especially after the last deglaciation. Location Northern Hemisphere (between 20°N and 80°N). Time Period 50,000–0 years before present. Major Taxa Studied Angiosperms and gymnosperms. Methods We used
