Evolution of a Holsteinian (MIS 11c) palaeolake based on a 12-ka-long diatom record from Dethlingen (northern Germany) [PDF]

, 2013
To provide insights into the long-term evolution of aquatic ecosystems without human interference, we hereevaluate a decadal- to centennial-scale-resolution diatom record spanning about 12 ka of the Holsteinian inter-glacial (Marine Isotope Stage 11c ...

Trace fossils associated with Burgess Shale non-biomineralized carapaces: bringing taphonomic and ecological controls into focus [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
The association of trace fossils and non-biomineralized carapaces has been reported from Cambrian Lagerstätten worldwide, but the abundance, ichnodiversity, taphonomy and ecological significance of such associations have yet to be fully investigated. Two

‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

“Grassland in a jar” – an ecological view of the archaeobotanical contents of vessels from two Lusatian Urnfield Culture settlements (Early Iron Age) in north-central Poland

Acta Palaeobotanica
During the archaeological exploration of two Lusatian Urnfield Culture settlements, dated to the Early Iron Age and located in north-central Poland, 11 well-preserved clay vessels filled with waterlogged botanical remains were discovered.

Ecomorphological and taphonomic gradients in clypeasteroid-dominated echinoid assemblages along a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate shelf from the early Miocene of northern Sardinia, Italy [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017
Clypeasteroid echinoids are widespread and abundant within Miocene sedimentary sequences of the Mediterranean area within both siliciclastic and carbonate deposits.

A new piece in the puzzle: The palaeoecological significance of bryozoans over 7000 years in Daidokutsu Cave (Okinawa, Japan)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Submarine caves are cryptic, climatically sensitive habitats with long‐term ecological dynamics that are poorly understood. We present the first palaeoecological analysis of bryozoans from Daidokutsu Cave (Okinawa, Japan), based on a sediment core spanning approximately the last 7000 years.

Palaeoepidemiology in extinct vertebrate populations: factors influencing skeletal health in Jurassic marine reptiles [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
Palaeoepidemiological studies related to palaeoecology are rare, but have the potential to provide information regarding ecosystem-level characteristics by measuring individual health.

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

The palaeoecology of two Scottish encrinites: Jurassic crinoid assemblages from the Trotternish Peninsula, Isle of Skye, Scotland [PDF]

, 2009
Despite a long history of investigation, articulate crinoids from the Jurassic of Scotland have not received great attention compared to their counterparts in Southern England or continental Europe; this is thought to be largely due to poor preservation.
