The Origins of Viking Age Dogs in Luistari, Eura, Finland
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We used stable (δ18O) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr) isotopic proxies to investigate the origins of dogs (Canis familiaris) buried in Viking Age graves at Luistari, Finland. While all 13 dogs exhibited oxygen isotope values compatible with local surface waters, 87Sr/86Sr ratios for two of the four dogs analyzed (graves 289 and 480) were compatible

The prehistory of number concept
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2011 AbstractCarey leaves unaddressed an important evolutionary puzzle: In the absence of a numeral list, how could a concept of natural number ever have arisen in the first place? Here we suggest that the initial development of natural number must have bootstrapped on a material culture scaffold of some sort, and illustrate how this might have occurred ...

Prescribed burning effectively maintains threatened species in semi‐natural grasslands on lava flows
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Prescribed burning shows promise for managing certain grassland types, but relying solely on it often reduces plant diversity, including threatened species. In Japanese dry grasslands established on volcanic ejecta, we explored conditions under which burning maintains high diversity.

The current state of peas in the United Kingdom; diversity, heritage and food systems
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Landraces and traditional pea varieties hold great potential for enhancing agrobiodiversity and promoting pulse consumption, offering a rich historical and cultural resource for the UK food system. Unfortunately, many traditional pea varieties are lost, and those saved are often kept in seed banks or used only by small‐scale growers.

The Capsaspora genome reveals a complex unicellular prehistory of animals
Nature Communications, 2013 To reconstruct the evolutionary origin of multicellular animals from their unicellular ancestors, the genome sequences of diverse unicellular relatives are essential. However, only the genome of the choanoflagellate Monosiga brevicollis has been reported

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In recent years, citizen‐driven initiatives have significantly transformed agrobiodiversity monitoring, exemplified by platforms like Wiki Papa and VarScout, which support Andean potato conservation in Peru. Wiki Papa serves as a curated repository documenting local potato varieties, while VarScout enables the collection of on‐the‐ground ...
