The skeleton of Congruus kitcheneri, a semiarboreal kangaroo from the Pleistocene of southern Australia [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 The macropodine kangaroo, Wallabia kitcheneri, was first described in 1989 from a Pleistocene deposit within Mammoth Cave, southwestern Australia, on the basis of a few partial dentaries and maxilla fragments. Here, we recognize W.

Mid-Pleistocene transition in glacial cycles explained by declining CO2 and regolith removal
Science Advances, 2019 Model simulations reveal the importance of atmospheric CO2 and glacial erosion of regolith for Quaternary climate dynamics. Variations in Earth’s orbit pace the glacial-interglacial cycles of the Quaternary, but the mechanisms that transform regional and

Pleistocene hominins as a resource for carnivores. A c. 500,000-year-old human femur bearing tooth-marks in North Africa (Thomas Quarry I, Morocco) [PDF]
, 2016 In many Middle Pleistocene sites, the co-occurrence of hominins with carnivores, who both contributed to faunal accumulations, suggests competition for resources as well as for living spaces.

Diverse manifestations of the mid-Pleistocene climate transition
Nature Communications, 2019 The mid-Pleistocene transition (MPT) is widely recognized as a shift in paleoclimatic periodicity from 41- to 100-kyr cycles, which largely reflects integrated changes in global ice volume, sea level, and ocean temperature from the marine realm. However,

Rapid range shifts and megafaunal extinctions associated with late Pleistocene climate change
Nature Communications, 2020 Large-scale changes in global climate at the end of the Pleistocene significantly impacted ecosystems across North America. However, the pace and scale of biotic turnover in response to both the Younger Dryas cold period and subsequent Holocene rapid ...

Solving the woolly mammoth conundrum: amino acid 15N-enrichment suggests a distinct forage or habitat [PDF]
, 2015 Understanding woolly mammoth ecology is key to understanding Pleistocene community dynamics and evaluating the roles of human hunting and climate change in late Quaternary megafaunal extinctions. Previous isotopic studies of mammoths’ diet and physiology

Large mammal remains from the early pleistocene site of Podere San Lorenzo (Perugia, Central Italy) [PDF]
, 2019 Most of the research on fossil mammals from Umbria (central Italy) has been carried out in the southwestern branch of the Tiber basin, due to its paleontological richness.

Glaciation of Siberia and the problem of massive ice beddings
Лëд и снег, 2017 As a result of many years of the author’s studies of glaciers and ground ices, a great amount of factual material has been collected for a purpose to analyze a possibility of burying the glaciers in the permafrost zone and to esti‑ mate a time of their ...
