Reconciling evidence from ancient and contemporary genomes: a major source for the European Neolithic within Mediterranean Europe [PDF]
Important gaps remain in our understanding of the spread of farming into Europe, due partly to apparent contradictions between studies of contemporary genetic variation and ancient DNA.

Summary: The Maghreb is a key region for understanding the dynamics of cattle dispersal and admixture with local aurochs following their earliest domestication in the Fertile Crescent more than 10,000 years ago. Here, we present data on autosomal genomes

Understanding evolutionary processes during past Quaternary climatic cycles: Can it be applied to the future? [PDF]
Climate change affected ecological community make-up during the Quaternary which was probably both the cause of, and was caused by, evolutionary processes such as species evolution, adaptation and extinction of species and ...

Complete mitochondrial sequences from Mesolithic Sardinia [PDF]
Little is known about the genetic prehistory of Sardinia because of the scarcity of pre-Neolithic human remains. From a genetic perspective, modern Sardinians are known as genetic outliers in Europe, showing unusually high levels of internal diversity ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Cortical bone mapping: An application to hand and foot bones in hominoids [PDF]
Bone form reflects both the genetic profile and behavioural history of an individual. As cortical bone is able to remodel in response to mechanical stimuli, interspecific differences in cortical bone thickness may relate to loading during locomotion or ...

We used sedimentary ancient DNA shotgun metagenomics to reconstruct past bird communities in northern high‐latitude environments. By using long time series and data collected across a large environmental gradient, we contributed in a unique and explorative way to the understanding of palaeoecological dynamics between birds and their habitat on the ...

Capture Probe, Metabarcoding, or Shotgun Sequencing: Which Best Reflects Local Vegetation?
This study compares three workflows for analyzing sedimentary ancient DNA: metabarcoding, capture probes, and shotgun sequencing. We compare taxa identified by each method from 18 lakes across northern Norway to the species recorded in vegetation surveys to quantify the sensitivity and accuracy of the three workflows. ABSTRACT Metabarcoding is the most
