Dehnel's Phenomenon in Mammals
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 2, June 2026.Some small mammals, which remain active year‐round, undergo reversible reductions in body size, braincase height, and the mass of internal organs, including the brain, from summer to winter. It is called Dehnel's phenomenon. In this review, we summarise knowledge of the mechanisms, adaptive value, and genetic basis of the phenomenon, and show how new ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 153-177, January 2026.ABSTRACT Kalavan‐2, a high‐altitude (∼1640 m a.s.l.) open‐air site in Armenia, preserves stratified Middle Paleolithic occupations with a rich small‐vertebrate record. Luminescence dating has placed site formation between ~60 and 45 ka, but without independent chronological control of the microvertebrate accumulation.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.Copious questions in global change biology require estimates of climatic suitability for species in the past or future, often via transfers of ecological niche models (ENMs) using outputs from global circulation models (GCMs). However, available GCMs differ markedly, affecting hindcasts and forecasts of species potential distributions. We propose using
