The Role of Migration in the Change of Northern Hemisphere Vegetation for the Past 50,000 Years

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Our primary aim was to assess how dispersal limitation affected forest changes in the Northern Hemisphere during the last glacial cycle, and especially after the last deglaciation. Location Northern Hemisphere (between 20°N and 80°N). Time Period 50,000–0 years before present. Major Taxa Studied Angiosperms and gymnosperms. Methods We used

Palaeovegetational evidence in the upper Nure Valley (Ligurian-Emilian Apennines, Northern Italy)

Webbia, 1991
Summary Palynological investigations were made up to know the vegetation history of the upper Nure Valley (Ligurian-Emilian Apennines). The reconstructed picture is in accordance with that already known for the northern Apennines. The pollen diagram relevant to the most significant palynological sequence (i.e.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from caves: Challenges and opportunities

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 565-578, May 2025.
Abstract Caves are unique depositional environments that hold great potential for long‐term preservation of DNA due to their typically cool and stable internal climates, buffered from external climate extremes. Bones from caves have long been recognised as an excellent source of ancient DNA, yet the potential for DNA preservation in cave sediments ...

Consilience in practice: social–ecological dynamics of the Lake Volvi region (Greece) during the last two millennia

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 459-480, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The Lake Volvi area, part of the region of Macedonia (northern Greece), is a biodiversity hotspot, located in the central part of a major communication corridor connecting the western and eastern parts of the Balkans. The sediment succession from Lake Volvi is investigated here to provide a unique high‐resolution pollen and geochemical record ...

Are human activities or climate changes the main causes of soil erosion in the South African drylands?: A palaeo‐perspective from three sites in the interior

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1116-1137, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Soil erosion across South Africa's drylands occurs widely in the form of gullies and badlands (locally termed dongas) that have developed in colluvium and in valley fills along incised rivers. This erosion has commonly been attributed to land mismanagement, particularly since European settlement, but natural factors such as soil properties ...

Using pollen in turbidites for vegetation reconstructions

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 7, Page 1053-1063, October 2024.
ABSTRACT Turbidites, deposited by sub‐aqueous gravity flows, are common in sedimentary archives worldwide and present a unique challenge and opportunity when reconstructing past vegetation through pollen analysis. When sampling pollen from a sediment core for palaeovegetation records, it is common practice to target background sediments (i.e.

Last interglacial in western Europe: 20 years of multidisciplinary research on the Eemian (MIS 5e) calcareous tufa sequence at Caours (Somme basin, France) – a review

Boreas, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 297-346, July 2024.
The Eemian calcareous tufa formation of Caours provides one of the best‐dated records of the last interglacial from fluvial terrace systems in NW Europe, and on the same site, a unique succession of four Palaeolithic layers attributed to Neanderthals, rich in large mammal remains. The tufa, firmly dated to 123.1±2.8 ka on the basis of 25 ages (mainly U‐

The first complete genome of the extinct European wild ass (Equus hemionus hydruntinus)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 14, July 2024.
Abstract We present palaeogenomes of three morphologically unidentified Anatolian equids dating to the first millennium BCE, sequenced to a coverage of 0.6–6.4×. Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes of the Anatolian individuals clustered with those of Equus hydruntinus (or Equus hemionus hydruntinus), the extinct European wild ass, secular name ‘hydruntine ...
