John Birks: Pioneer in quantitative palaeoecology [PDF]

, 2015
We describe the career of John Birks as a pioneering scientist who has, over a career spanning five decades, transformed palaeoecology from a largely descriptive to a rigorous quantitative science relevant to contemporary questions in ecology and ...

DataSheet_3_Practitioner perspectives on the application of palaeoecology in nature conservation.xlsx

, 2023
It is widely recognised that palaeoecology holds great potential to inform and support nature conservation, but that there are difficulties in knowledge exchange between academia and practitioners that inhibit the operationalisation of research.

Geographically weighted models in palaeoecology: R package and application to testate amoebae in peatlands [PDF]

Web Ecology
Transfer function (TF) models are commonly used in palaeoecology for quantitative inference of environmental variables based on biological proxies. Although the existence of spatial structure is well established in ecology, existing TFs do not account ...

From LBK to SBK: Pottery, Bones, Lithics and Houses at the Neolithic site of Hrdlovka, Czech Republic

Open Archaeology, 2016
The paper is focused on the period of cultural change at the turn of 6th and 5th millennia BC, when the uniform Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) occupying an extensive area disintegrated in several local groups or cultures, including the Stroked Pottery ...

An integrated approach to understanding the role of the long neck in plesiosaurs [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017
The evolution and function of the long neck in plesiosaurs, and how the problems associated with stiffness or flexibility were overcome during feeding, or rapid swimming during predator avoidance, are explored, and a new interpretation for the function ...

On the Use of Spores of Coprophilous Fungi Preserved in Sediments to Indicate Past Herbivore Presence

Quaternary, 2022
Fungal spores that grew on the faeces of herbivores in the past can be extracted from sediments and used to identify the presence of herbivores in former ecosystems.

Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...
