Radiocarbon dating suitability of aquatic plant macrofossils
Journal of Paleolimnology, 2014 Paleolimnological and plant physiological literature were reviewed to determine which types of aquatic plant macrofossils are suitable for radiocarbon dating, with a particular focus on the uptake of reservoir-aged dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) by emergent plants. Submerged aquatic plants utilize large amounts of DIC and are clearly not suitable for

#Yourpalaeolife: Interrogating the Status of Fieldwork Among Early Career Palaeontology Researchers
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This global survey of early career palaeontologists provides the first quantitative data regarding the prevalence of field skills training and field work among junior researchers of the discipline. The results reveal that ECRs may be underprepared by their education and institutions to undertake fieldwork independently, and that internal research ...

Inferring Environmental Change in Estuaries from Plant Macrofossils [PDF]
, 2017 Aquatic plants are critical components of estuarine ecosystems supporting biodiversity and a range of ecosystem services such as sediment stabilisation and denitrification. However, estuarine plants, similar to their freshwater counterparts, are in decline and under threat.

Farming in the shadows of Rome: A multi‐proxy palaeoenvironmental record from Loch Clunie—Perthshire
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 915-932, August 2026.ABSTRACT Roman impacts on local society is a subject of international significance. Loch Clunie, Perthshire, lies only 5.4 km from Inchtuthil, the only Roman legionary fortress in Scotland, and contains two crannogs and a probable lakeside hillfort. Despite this proximity and the likelihood of local–Roman interaction, these sites remain unexcavated ...

The loss of an Indigenous‐maintained She‐Oak woodland in southeast Australia
Geographical Research, Volume 64, Issue 3, August 2026.A 2600‐year multi‐proxy palaeoecological record (pollen, charcoal, and sediment) from Balfour Swamp, east Gippsland, reveals the persistence of an open, grassy She‐Oak woodland maintained by GunaiKurnai. This vegetation community, resilient to climatic variability and fire, was lost following the disruption of Aboriginal land management and replaced by

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Neotropical seasonally dry biomes are amongst the world's most threatened ecosystems and are predicted to lose more biodiversity with climate change. The capacity of natural populations to respond to these changes depends on their genetic variation, but is poorly understood in most Neotropical seasonally dry forest species.

Ancient DNA from lake sediments: Bridging the gap between paleoecology and genetics
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Quaternary plant ecology in much of the world has historically relied on morphological identification of macro- and microfossils from sediments of small freshwater lakes. Here, we report new protocols that reliably yield DNA sequence data from

Plant macrofossils and Biostratigraphy of the Calshaneh section, NW Tabas and its palaeoclimate analysis [PDF]
Journal of Stratigraphy and Sedimentology Researches, 2016 Jurassic deposits are well exposed in the Calshaneh area, north western of the Tabas city, Central-East Iran. It contains plant macrofossils belonging to seventeen species allocated to eleven genera of various orders such as of Equisetales, Filicales ...
