Grouping groupers in the Mediterranean: Ecological baselines revealed by ancient proteins
Groupers (Epinephelidae) are key species for fisheries in the Mediterranean which have been heavily overfished. Species abundance and distribution prior to the 20th century in the Mediterranean remains poorly known. By using Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) and reconstructing collagen sequences, we discovered and validated 22 biomarkers for ...

However, there are currently no criteria for discerning the sex of elk based on dental metric characteristics. Here, we present the results of an osteometric analysis of modern elk (Cervus elaphus manitobensis)
