Ash grains of the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption as a tracer in Rose Bengal stained deep sea agglutinated foraminifera: How old is Freddy? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The use of volcanic ash particles (including dark-coloured grains) by agglutinated foraminifera that survived the 1991 eruption of Mt Pinatubo volcano provides a useful tracer to help determine growth rates and longevity in the deep sea. In the case of a

Cave Palaeolithic of the Ural Mountains – a review

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The Ural Mountains are of fundamental importance for studying early human migrations along the geographical limits between Europe and Asia. Geological processes and past climates gave rise to numerous caves, mostly in Palaeozoic carbonate formations.

Persistence and dynamic of forest snails in the Western Carpathians over the last 40 thousand years

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
The glacial/interglacial cycles have shaped the landscape of temperate Europe for the past 2.5 million years, with open landscapes prevailing during the glacial and forested landscapes during the interglacial periods. However, the survival and recolonization strategies of temperate forest species during glacial phases remain poorly understood and hotly

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development

open access: yesBoreas, EarlyView.
Multi‐method (FTIR, FT‐NIR and TGA) approaches characterizing the organic peat constituents at Holcroft Moss reveal a record of switches that reflect broadly hydroclimate variability governing the decomposition patterns. There are periods, however, where hydroclimate does not fully explain the variability observed and instead changes appear linked to ...

Evidence for Badenian local sea level changes in the proximal area of the North Croatian Basin

open access: yesGeologia Croatica, 2010
Quantitative analysis of palynomorphs, foraminifera and ostracods enabled the recognition of biotic events and the reconstruction of environmental change in the Badenian sediments from the Vrhovčak section of Mt. Samoborsko gorje (NW Croatia). During the

Growth, age and size of the Jurassic pachycormid Leedsichthys problematicus (Osteichthyes: Actinopterygii) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The Jurassic pachycormid osteichthyan Leedsichthys problematicus is renowned for having been able to achieve prodigious size for a bony fish. Building on work of MARTILL (1986a), a thorough examination of all known material was conducted in order to ...

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Postglacial Reconstruction of Fire History Using Sedimentary Charcoal and Pollen From a Small Lake in Southwest Yukon Territory, Canada

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Previous research suggests climate warming during the current century is likely to lead to an increase in the frequency and severity of wildfire. Recent wildfire seasons in northern Canada generally support these studies, with some of the worst fire ...
