Using microstructures and composition to decipher the alterations of rodent teeth in modern regurgitation pellets—a good news-bad news story

open access: yes, 2020
Rodent accumulations are widely used for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. But these accumulations are created through the activity of predators (carnivorous mammals, birds of prey), the predation and digestion of which modify the preservation of ...

Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

Early humans and the balance of power: Homo habilis as prey

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, EarlyView.
The traditional view regarding Homo habilis as the primary agent in stone‐tool making and animal butchery has long shaped our understanding of human evolution. Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) methods have provided unprecedented insights into carnivore–hominin interactions through the analysis of bone surface modifications (BSMs).

Population structure of graptolite assemblages [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Graptolite rhabdosomes display a diverse suite of morphologies. The range of morphotypes present within most moderate to high diversity assemblages from the Ordovician and Silurian is similar, despite the different taxonomic composition of the faunas at ...

Neoichnology and sediment distribution in tidal flats of the mud‐dominated mesotidal Mira River estuary (Portugal)

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invertebrate burrow morphologies and distributions are presented for the tidal flats of the middle and lower reaches of the tide‐influenced (mesotidal), mud‐dominated Mira River estuary (SW Portugal) as an analogue for interpreting the ichnology of palaeoestuarine successions.
