Testate Amoeba Functional Traits and Their Use in Paleoecology
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past hydrological changes in paleoecological investigations from peatland ...

The trace fossil gyrochorte: ethology and paleoecology
Spanish Journal of Palaeontology, 2021 Specimens of the trace fossil Gyrochorle from the Ordovician, Jurassic and Cretaceous of Utah, and the Pliocene of Spain are described. These occurrences expand the stratigraphic range of the ichnogenus, and allow for a re examination of this ...

Late Pleistocene human paleoecology in the highland savanna ecosystem of mainland Southeast Asia
Scientific Reports, 2021 The late Pleistocene settlement of highland settings in mainland Southeast Asia by Homo sapiens has challenged our species’s ability to occupy mountainous landscapes that acted as physical barriers to the expansion into lower-latitude Sunda islands ...
