Testing peat humification analysis in an Australian context: identifying wet shifts in regional climate over the past 4000 years [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2014 Peat humification analysis is presented as a robust palaeoclimatic proxy, suitable for use on mid–late Holocene peat sequences situated in the Southern Hemisphere.

The dose makes the poison: have “field realistic” rates of exposure of bees to neonicotinoid insecticides been overestimated in laboratory studies? [PDF]
, 2014 Recent laboratory based studies have demonstrated adverse sub-lethal effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on honey bees and bumble bees, and these studies have been influential in leading to a European Union moratorium on the use of three neonicotinoids,

Floodplain environmental change during the younger dryas and holocene: Evidence from the lower kennet valley, south central England [PDF]
, 2006 Many lowland rivers across northwest Europe exhibit broadly similar behavioural responses to glacial-interglacial transitions and landscape development. Difficulties exist in assessing these, largely because the evidence from many rivers remains limited

The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys [PDF]
, 1998 The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons why it is less valid for ...
