A GIS‐Based Approach to Modeling Carnivore Activity in the Pleistocene Site of Cova del Rinoceront (Iberian Peninsula)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A significant methodological difficulty in the interpretation of Pleistocene zooarchaeological assemblages is the identification of taphonomic agents that modify and break bones. Carnivores, in particular, have been a main focus, as competition with carnivores may have affected carcass acquisition opportunities for humans in the past.

Vegetation of central Carpathians foreland at the Late Glacial period

Біологічні студії, 2009
Palaeopalynological analysis of two organic Quaternary deposits revealed that plant community of taiga-type with sizeable xerotic herbaceous coenosis were spread in the central part of Carpathian Foreland during the Late Glacial period. The forest-steppe

First Detailed Examination of Macaca (Primates, Cercopithecidae) Remains From Roman Anatolia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primates are rare faunal components in zooarchaeological studies worldwide. In this study, we present the presence of a primate in a Roman‐period tomb in Attaleia (modern‐day Antalya). An almost complete cranium with maxillary teeth was examined, and dental measurements were taken.

Estimation of groundwater recharge using the cumulative rainfall departure method for Bac Lieu province, Mekong Delta, Vietnam [PDF]

Геосистемы переходных зон
Estimation of the groundwater (GW) recharge from rainfall is important for determining GW resources in water resources development and management. GW is currently extensively exploited and is an important source of freshwater for people in the Mekong ...

The Paleoenvironment of the Ndutu Bed at Olduvai Gorge in the Context of Middle Stone Age Expansion in Eastern Africa: A Multiproxy Approach to Ungulate Analyses From the Victoria Cabrera Site and Dorothy Garrod Site (MIS 5)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The study of the Eastern African archaeological record is essential for understanding the origin and evolution of the Middle Stone Age (MSA). However, Olduvai Gorge, one of the primary regions in human evolution studies, has few sites associated with the MSA.

Continental accumulation of fads2 copy numbers allows sticklebacks to thrive across a diversity of nutritional landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Nutrients, including vital organic compounds, vary in availability across ecosystems, with the potential to act as a source of selection for traits that increase nutrient acquisition and biosynthesis. Compared to freshwaters, marine ecosystems are richer in the omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (n‐3 LC‐PUFA) docosahexaenoic acid (DHA ...

Morphotectonics of the Tasso Stream - Sagittario River valley (Central Apennines, Italy)

Journal of Maps, 2019
This work presents the morphotectonic map of the Tasso Stream-Sagittario River valley, located in the Central Abruzzo area (Marsica region), in one of the areas of highest average elevation in the Apennines chain between two main intermontane basins (i.e.

Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

Trait‐associated pathway links plant diversity to litterfall phenology in a seasonally dry tropical forest

Oikos, EarlyView.
Phenology plays a central role in regulating energy flow and nutrient cycling, yet remains insufficiently integrated into biodiversity–ecosystem functioning frameworks. This gap is especially relevant in strongly seasonal systems, where community‐wide synchrony in leaf litterfall may arise from either temporal niche differentiation among species or ...

Evaluating Testability of Permafrost Models Through Physical and Thermal Testing in Complex Mountain Terrain, Yukon, Canada

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.
