Abstract:

Community ecology and paleoecology are both concerned with the composition and structure of biotic assemblages but are largely disconnected. Community ecology focuses on existing species assemblages and recently has begun to integrate history (phylogeny and continental or intercontinental dispersal) to constrain community processes. This division has left a “missing middle”: Ecological and environmental processes occurring on timescales from decades to millennia are not yet fully incorporated into community ecology. Quaternary paleoecology has a wealth of data documenting ecological dynamics a

AbstractMinimum radiocarbon ages of marine Pleistocene molluscs from Uruguay range from 29,500±600 to 35,500±1900 14C yr B.P. Because knowledge of the marine Quaternary stratigraphy of Uruguay remains inadequate, no attempt is made to correlate between these deposits and recognized lithostratigraphic units. Analysis of the temperature and salinity ranges of the various molluscs suggests the establishment of a poly-euhaline fauna that inhabited waters warmer than present at the same latitude. This is supported by a northward retreat in the recent distribution of Chrysallida cf. C. gemmulosa, Ni

AbstractIn the two decades or so since ancient sedimentary DNA (sedaDNA) took its place as a new Quaternary paleo-proxy, there have been large advances in the scope of its applications and its reliability. The two main approaches, metabarcoding and shotgun sequencing, have contributed exciting insights into areas such as floristic diversity change, plant-herbivore interactions, extinction, conservation baselines and impacts of invasive species. Early doubts as to its potential to contribute novel information have been dispelled; more is now understood about the passage of sedaDNA from the orig

The Quaternary is a period of considerable climatic change.

In Israel such studies tell us of shifts in both ambient temperatures and in humidity. These paleoclimatic changes had paleoecological effect.

The midsection fluvial gravels contain plant and insect fossils indicating a climate as warm as and perhaps warmer than present.

The scientific community is in great need of input from paleontologists today in two key areas of societal concern: the historical basis of global change and losses of biodiversity. Paleontologists, with their unique perspective on rates of change in biotic communities and their training in filtering signal from noise in the fossil record, are the best placed scientists in biology to approach these problems from an historical viewpoint. In the classroom we give lip service to the central role of paleontology in understanding these problems. Yet with the exclusion of Quaternary (and particularl

Abstract:

Pollen, plant-macrofossil, macroscopic-charcoal, and geochemical analyses of a sediment core from Wien Lake provide new information on the late Quaternary environmental history of central Alaska. Shrub tundra dominated by Betula glandulosa occupied the area 12 000 – 10 500 BP. Low plant cover and intensive soil erosion of the tundra landscape are indicated by low pollen-accumulation rates, high sediment inorganic content, and high allogenic elemental concentrations. Around 10 500 BP, Populus and Salix invaded the shrub tundra and open ground to form dense stands within the lake catchment. The

Abstract:

AbstractRusingoryx atopocranion is a poorly known extinct alcelaphine bovid, documented in Pleistocene deposits associated with Middle Stone Age artifacts on Rusinga Island, Kenya. Following its initial description, Rusingoryx was subsumed into Megalotragus, which includes the extinct giant wildebeests, on the basis of its cranial architecture. Renewed investigations of the Pleistocene deposits on Rusinga Island recovered a large sample of Rusingoryx specimens that provide new taxonomic and paleoecological insight. This study (1) reviews the morphological and phylogenetic evidence concerning t

Abstract:

The Proboscidea were very prominent in South American ecosystems during the Pleistocene and part of the Holocene. Specifically, in Valle del Cauca (Colombia), fossils of these large mammals have been found, reflecting an abundant presence in the region. In this work, a mandibular fragment with a complete last molar (m3) is reported, found near the bed of the Cauca River, in the Juanchito municipality of Santiago de Cali. According to the morphological features of the specimen, it is proposed that the remains belong to the proboscidean Notiomastodon platensis. This study emphasizes the large ge

AbstractA mandible identified as noble marten (Martes americana nobilis) recovered from sediments dating to 11,800 cal yr BP and a humerus identified as M. a. cf. nobilis recovered from sediments dating from 13,100 to 12,500 cal yr BP at the Marmes Rockshelter archaeological site in southeastern Washington represent the first record of this taxon in the state. Mammalian taxa associated with the Marmes Rockshelter noble marten represent a diversity of open mesic habitats corroborating earlier analyses of other records of the noble marten in the western United States and exemplify how paleozoolo

Abstract:

Stabilized sand sheets and dunes hold a remarkable amount of information on paleoenvironmental conditions under which late Quaternary landscapes evolved in northern subarctic regions. We provide the results of a project focused on understanding the development of lowland environments and ecosystems, including dunes and sand sheets, which were critical habitat for early human occupations in subarctic regions. Our study area is the Rosa-Keystone Dunes Field in the Shaw Creek Flats of the middle Tanana River basin, interior Alaska, one of the oldest continuously occupied areas in North America (1
