“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

open access: yesActa 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.

The Late Pennsylvanian vegetation of the Donets Basin, Ukraine: Syntaxonomy of plant communities

open access: yesGeo&Bio, 2023
A reconstruction and classification of Kasimovian and Gzhelian plant communities of the Donets Basin that constituted the Late Pennsylvanian vegetation cover of the region is proposed.

The position of graptolites within Lower Palaeozoic planktic ecosystems. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
An integrated approach has been used to assess the palaeoecology of graptolites both as a discrete group and also as a part of the biota present within Ordovician and Silurian planktic realms.

Decoupling climate and human impacts on the nitrogen cycle during the Irish Bronze Age

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disentangling climate variability and human activity in past nitrogen cycling is key to understanding ecosystems. Previous studies in Ireland observed a widespread, permanent shift in terrestrial nitrogen cycling during Later Prehistory, potentially linked to intensifying land‐use.

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

open access: yesRoyal 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.

Archaeocyath palaeoecology [PDF]

open access: yesThe Paleontological Society Special Publications, 1992
A well preserved archaeocyath fauna occurs in the Forteau Formation in Southern Labrador, Canada. Following on from the confirmation that archaeocyatha are aspiculate calcified sponges, detailed ecological work is now being undertaken on this fauna, a representative of the first reefal ecosystem in the fossil record.One species, Metaldetes profundus ...

Insights into Red Deer Ecology during the Late Epigravettian: New isotopic evidence from Riparo Tagliente (Italian Prealps)

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the Late Glacial marked a shift from the cold conditions of Greenland Stadial‐2 (GS‐2) to the warmer phases of Greenland Interstadial‐1 (GI‐1), enabling the reoccupation of Alpine regions by Late Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers.

The missing woodland story: Implications of 1700 years of stand‐scale change on ‘naturalness’ and managing remnant broadleaved woodlands

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Longer‐term perspectives—equivalent to the lifespans of long‐lived trees—are required to fully inform perceptions of ‘naturalness’ used in woodland conservation and management. Stand‐scale dynamics of an old growth temperate woodland are reconstructed using palaeoecological data.
