Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

The Tyranny of the Gingerbread House: Contextualising the Fear of Wolves in Medieval Northern Europe through Material Culture, Ecology and Folklore

Current Swedish Archaeology, 2005
In this paper, I propose to contextualise the popular perception ofthe "fairy tale wolf" as a window into a normative past, by focusing on responses to this animal in Britain and southern Scandinavia from the 8th to the 14th centuries, drawing on ...

The last glacial cycle in western Norway—extensive MIS 5d glaciation, multiple glacial advances and LGM glacial advance phases

Boreas, EarlyView.
Raised marine MIS 5c sediments evidence extensive preceding (5d) glaciation in western Norway. This is the first out of five (or six) major Weichselian glacier advances that seem to correspond to North Atlantic sea surface cooling periods. Till beds capping the marine sediments show stages of pre‐LGM advance and subsequent retreat.

Moving the quality needle? Provider choice, waiting times and clinical outcomes

Economica, EarlyView.
Abstract We study the effect of expanding patient choice of healthcare provider on care process and clinical outcomes central to the functioning of a health system, using a quasi‐natural experiment in Spain over 2002–2019. Exploiting the staggered adoption of provider choice reforms across Spanish regional health services, we estimate heterogeneity ...

State Capture and the Limits of Human Capital: Education and Institutional Quality in Post‐Socialist Europe

Economics of Transition and Institutional Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using the European Quality of Government Index across 183 NUTS‐2 regions (2010–2024), this paper documents that education improves institutional quality in Western Europe but not in postsocialist regions. Oaxaca–Blinder decomposition reveals that 77 percent of the West–East institutional gap reflects different returns to education, not ...

Climatic, biogeographic and ecological factors influence the spatial patterns of odd‐ and even‐year dominance in biennial European butterflies and burnet moths

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
250,000 observations of 7 annual, 11 biennial and 4 flexible lepidoptera species in the Alps and over 150,000 observations of 5 biennial species from Scandinavia were analysed. Maps show distinct patterns of different species that fly predominantly in odd or even years in the researched areas.

Y-Chromosome haplogroup I prehistoric gene flow in Europe

Documenta Praehistorica, 2006
To investigate which aspects of contemporary human Y-chromosome variation in Europe are characteristic of primary colonization, late-glacial expansions from refuge areas, Neolithic dispersals or more recent events in gene flow haplogroup I was analyzed ...
