Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2455-2475, September 2026.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Sarcosuchus PALAEOECOLOGY

, 2019
SARCOSUCHUS PALAEOECOLOGY Sarcosuchus species are gigantic semi-aquatic crocodyliforms that inhabited fluvial environments during the Early Cretaceous of what is today known as South America and Africa (Buffetaut & Taquet, 1977; Sereno et al., 2001; Dridi, 2018). The two Sarcosuchus species share the same general rostral and mandibular morphology. They

The Temporal Imperative: Palaeo‐Proxies and Nature‐Based Solutions for Resilient Natural Inland Wetland Conservation and Management in Southeast Asia—A Systematic Review

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural inland wetlands in Southeast Asia provide key biodiversity, hydrological, carbon‐storage and livelihood functions, but are increasingly affected by land‐use change, fire, hydrological modification and climate change and variability.

Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 544-564, September 2026.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Testing the Dry Refuge Model: Paleoecological Insights From Late Pleistocene Gomphotheres in Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We present paleontological evidence that may prove the Dry Refuge Model in Ecuador during the Late Pleistocene. ABSTRACT Paleoenvironmental records indicate that Neotropical regions near the Equator experienced reduced rainfall during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). However, some records show conflicting environmental signals.

The late Holocene decline of Trapa natans L. in Northern Poland in the light of new palaeobotanical and geochemical data

Limnological Review, 2019
Trapa natans (water chestnut) is an aquatic, thermophilic plant whose decline has been observed in many localities in central Europe during the last decades. In this paper, we present a description of two new T. natans subfossil sites located outside its

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 915-932, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

Montane rainforest dynamics under changes in climate and human impact during the past millennia in northern Madagascar

Royal Society Open Science
Although it is well known that humans substantially altered the Malagasy ecosystems, the timing of the human arrival as well as the extension of their environmental impact is yet not well understood.
