Skeleton Islands of New Zealand and elsewhere [PDF]

open access: yes, 1969
Skeleton Islands are a variety of the class of islands resulting from subsidence of dissected land, subcategory 4a of a classification of islands here offered. Such islands are characterised by development of a sprawling outline with a narrow axial ridge

From Pigeons to Raptors: Avifauna Across the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Manot Cave, Israel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Avian exploitation during the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) is frequently interpreted as a marker of socioeconomic intensification across Europe and the Levant. However, the specific character of avian exploitation in the Levant has remained unexplored due to the scarcity of detailed zooarchaeological analyses. This study addresses this gap by

Gone Batty: A Newly Adapted Morphological Methodology for Bat Cranial Remains Within an Archaeological Setting

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In comparison to other species within faunal assemblages, bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been overlooked, especially in Papua New Guinea, resulting in limited traditional archaeozoological methods. The analysis of bats within an archaeological setting in Papua New Guinea will allow for a greater understanding of bat cranial morphology and the ...

Functional and phylogenetic beta diversity response of nocturnal moth assemblages to land‐use intensity in grasslands and forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Land‐use intensification is filtering for species, able to cope with anthropogenic landscapes. This was assumed to result in functionally and phylogenetically homogenous communities, but a recent meta‐analysis could not confirm a consistent homogenization response to human pressure and raises open questions.

THE WIND AS AN IMPORTANT ASPECT AND ITS IMPACT ON POPULATION TRENDS AND DEMOGRAPHIC CONDITIONS IN TRIPOLITANIA DURING LATE PLEISTOCENE/EARLY HOLOCENE

open access: yesZbornik Radova: Geografski institut "Jovan Cvijić", 2016
The vast majority of Tripolitania sites are open surface sites, but after the introduction of paleoclimatology in archaeological research during 1980’s, even with the insufficient amount of research, we were given a new vision of the archaeology of the ...

Lower competition in grasslands and higher facilitation in forests as potential drivers of the higher species richness of calcareous than siliceous communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
We tested the hypothesis that, in calcareous and siliceous ecosystems from the wet temperate climate of southwest France, competition primarily explains differences in community composition and species richness in grasslands but that facilitation is more determinant in forests. In a first experiment, we transplanted, in dry and wet years, grass species

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...
