Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 1120-1139, August 2025.ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

Automated extraction of right whale morphometric data from drone aerial photographs
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 438-453, August 2025.Aerial photogrammetry is a popular non‐invasive method for measuring marine mammal body size, body morphometrics, and body condition, but processing large datasets efficiently remains challenging. We developed a machine learning algorithm using Mask R‐CNN models to automatically measure body morphometrics of southern right whales from aerial ...

Perissodactyla (Rhinocerotidae and Equidae) from Kanapoi
Journal of Human Evolution, 2020 The Kanapoi collection of Rhinocerotidae, first studied by Hooijer and Patterson (1972), now consists of 25 specimens and substantial reinterpretation of their affinities is made here. Kanapoi post-dates the extinction of Brachypotherium and the whole collection belongs to the Dicerotini. It is important because it includes the type-specimen of Diceros

Social mechanics of gifting bear bile in Việt Nam
People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 7, Page 1521-1535, July 2025.Abstract The illegal wildlife trade is a major cause of global diversity loss. In Southeast Asia and particularly in Việt Nam, the consumption of wildlife products is mostly driven by demand for food and traditional medicine products. One key example of this in Việt Nam is the use of bear bile. While bear bile is one of the most well‐researched illegal

The Lost Large Mammals of Arabia
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Aim If successful, plans to restore the vegetation of the Arabian Peninsula (AP) as announced by the Middle East and Saudi Green Initiatives will see the greatest increase in vegetation cover since the beginning of the Holocene Humid Phase (HHP), roughly 9–10,000 years ago.
