A Middle and Late Devensian sequence from the northern part of Kents Cavern (Devon, UK)

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 6, Page 925-943, August 2025.
Abstract 1920s/30s excavation of a Middle Devensian sequence in the northern part of Kents Cavern recovered important Late Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic archaeological material, including Britain's oldest known Homo sapiens remains. Questions remain about this material, including how it came to be in the cave.

Ramifications of reproductive diseases on the recovery of the Sumatran Rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sumatrensis (Mammalia: Perissodactyla: Rhinocerotidae)

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2020
The Sumatran Rhinoceros Dicerorhinus sumatrensis is on the edge of extinction.  The decline of this species was initially attributed to poaching and habitat loss, but evidence presented here indicates that reproductive failure has also been a significant

Insights into the Middle Pleistocene fauna of South Africa: Zooarchaeology, stable isotopes and dating of Pniel 6

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 ...

Skeletal pathology and variable anatomy in elephant feet assessed using computed tomography [PDF]

, 2017
Foot problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in elephants, but are underreported due to difficulties in diagnosis, particularly of conditions affecting the bones and internal structures. Here we evaluate post-mortem computer tomographic (CT)

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
