Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, the overkill hypothesis explains not only why large mammals in general were highly prone to extinction but suggests that extinction may have been selective ...

Differences in Heavy Metal Accumulation in Wild and Captive Spotted Seal (Phoca largha) Pups in the Bohai Sea

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Due to the massive hunting by humans, the number of spotted seals has decreased dramatically. This study used the ICPMS method to conduct experiments and analysed the correlation between heavy metal accumulations in the bodies of naturally grown spotted seals in the Bohai Sea and artificially raised spotted seals in aquariums and water samples.

Taxonomic revision of the family Squalodontidae (Cetacea, Odontoceti): emptying the wastebasket of fragmentary holotypes

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract The Squalodontidae are one of the most historic families within the Cetacea, given that Squalodon was first named in 1840. Since Squalodon's initial description, workers in the 1800s were eager to assign heterodont cetacean teeth to this family; as a result, it became a wastebasket with many species based on fragmentary remains.
