Communicating the relevance of paleo research in the current societal environment [PDF]

, 2017
It is not an easy task for paleoscientists to communicate the relevance of their research to policy makers and funders. However, an increase in catastrophic environmental calamities related to climate change (e.g. landslide, droughts, flooding) demands a

Do dental nonmetric traits actually work as proxies for neutral genomic data? Some answers from continental‐ and global‐level analyses

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 347-375, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Objectives Crown and root traits, like those in the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS), are seemingly useful as genetic proxies. However, recent studies report mixed results concerning their heritability, and ability to assess variation to the level of genomic data.

Molecular Evolution of Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetase Proteins in the Early History of Life [PDF]

, 2011
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) consist of several families of functionally conserved proteins essential for translation and protein synthesis. Like nearly all components of the translation machinery, most aaRS families are universally distributed ...

Orbital Forcing Drives Both the South American Monsoon and Local Water Balance in the Central Andes During Interglacials

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.
Abstract South American summer monsoon (SASM) strength tracks insolation on orbital timescales, linking global climate and continental hydrology. However, whether local water availability also responds to global climate forcings is unclear. Here, we present water balance records from Lake Junín, an Andean lake within the SASM domain.
