What Do Fossil charophytes Whisper to Us? Palaeoecological and Palaeoenvironmental Reports from Pleistocene Continental Deposits of Umbria (Central Italy)

open access: yesGeosciences
The Early Pleistocene continental deposits of the Tiberino Basin (Central Italy) host exceptionally preserved fossil charophyte assemblages that provide critical insights into palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic dynamics during a key phase of the ...

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

A catalogue of Danian gastropods from the Baunekule facies, Faxe Formation, Denmark [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Survey of Denmark and Greenland Bulletin, 2014
This catalogue of 194 gastropod taxa is based on the collection of Danian gastropods from the Baunekule facies, Faxe Formation in eastern Denmark. The gastropod fauna is extremely rich and well preserved. Most of the gastropods (106 species) are referred

Plant endemism of the Balkan high‐mountain fens: a community‐level synthesis and their climate change perspective

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Balkan high‐mountain fens harbour unique endemic plant communities, with a west‐to‐east compositional gradient and local richness primarily shaped by palaeoclimate. As these fens have already experienced drier, warmer summers than at present, they may withstand climate change if actively and effectively protected. Abstract The phenomenon of Balkan high‐

Integrating natural baselines into ecosystem restoration: scaling herbivore targets for European landscapes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Calcium Isotopic Composition in Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) Bones and Tooth Enamel: A Scalable Tool to Quantify Nursing Frequency in Past and Modern Populations?

open access: yesRapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 23, 15 December 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale Populations of North American caribou and Eurasian reindeer (Rangifer tarandus sspp.), essential for Arctic ecosystems and human communities, are experiencing unprecedented declines due to climate change and anthropogenic pressures. While understanding their historical resilience and demographic dynamics is critical for conservation,

Freshwater Biodiversity Research in Brazil: Trends from a Systematic Review and Topic Modeling

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 111, Issue 2, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Brazil is a megadiverse country that hosts six major biomes and a vast freshwater network. Despite this richness, research on freshwater biodiversity has been heterogeneous across regions, communities, and time, leaving significant knowledge gaps.

Application of palaeoecological techniques to inform blanket mire conservation in Yorkshire, UK [PDF]

open access: yes
In a recent discussion of research priorities for palaeoecology, it was suggested that palaeoecological data can be applied and used to inform nature conservation practice. The present study exemplifies this approach.

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3036-3076, November 2026.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to
