Abstract:

Two discreet methods of geometric morphometrics were applied to evaluate the taxonomic utility of each in classifying the craniomandibular region of several Mustela species. Use of both linear measurements and 2-dimensional landmarks proved successful in discriminating between extant M. nigripes (black-footed ferret) and Neovison vison (American mink), in addition to the extant North American weasel species (M. erminea, M. frenata, M. nivalis). Methods were then used to classify Late Pleistocene Mustela spp. fossils collected from Snake Creek Burial Cave (SCBC) of eastern Nevada. Data acquired

Abstract:

Ice crawlers (Insecta: Grylloblattodea) are rarely encountered insects that consist of five genera representing 26 species from North America and Asia. Asian grylloblattids are the most diverse, but North American ice crawlers (genus Grylloblatta) are known for their adaptation to cold conditions. Phylogenetic relationships among grylloblattid species and genera are not known. Late Pleistocene glaciations had a major effect on the current Grylloblatta distribution, because their specific habitat requirements restrict them to small geographical areas. Six genes were sampled in 37 individuals fo

Abstract:

Pliocene-Pleistocene sediments in the southeastern Acambay graben, central Mexico have yielded mammal fossils, including Equus simplicidens, cf. Rhynchotherium, ?Camelops, Mammuthus sp., Bison sp., and Antilocapra sp. The fossiliferous sediments include a period of lacustrine sedimentation in the late Pliocene-early Pleistocene that interrupted fluvial and alluvial sedimentation during the early Pliocene and Pleistocene. The sediments deposited in this late Pliocene paleolake record a history of lake level fluctuations, shown by lithologic variations in lacustrine sediments and abundance of ve

Abstract:

This study explores and develops the potential of fossil mammals to differentiate between the various climatic episodes of the post-Anglian Middle Pleistocene in Britain. Mammalian fossils are particularly valuable as biostratigraphic indicators on account of their morphological evolution and rapid turnover, through origination and extinction of species. Furthermore, the large-scale climatic fluctuations that affected north-west Europe during the Quaternary produced major shifts in the geographical distributions of many species, resulting in discernible patterns of presence and absence in the

The Succulent Karoo is recognised as an important biodiversity hotspot and many of the key plant lineages that characterise the biome are thought to have originated during the Pleistocene epoch.

Abstract:

Two distinct studies within the Saltville Valley of southwestern Virginia revealed insights into local Pleistocene geology and paleontology. A variety of analytical techniques were applied to gravel deposits within the paleontological site of SV-5/7 that revealed this unit is very poorly sorted, has a subangular matrix, and contains significant components of silt and sand in addition to rounded cobbles. These results suggest that rather than being deposited by fluvial processes as previously suggested, these gravels were likely the result of one or many debris flows. Additionally, the identity

Abstract:

The Mustelinae (weasels, stoats, minks, and ferrets) are a subfamily of small, elongate-bodied mustelid carnivorans (Carnivora: Mustelidae) that originated during the Late Miocene. Mustelines are the most abundant group of carnivorans in the world today and are commonly found at Pleistocene-aged sites across their range; however, their lack of a more complete fossil record has left many questions regarding the evolution of early mustelines unanswered. Here we report a new occurrence of a musteline from the Early Pliocene age (4.9 – 4.5 Ma) Gray Fossil Site in northeastern Tennessee. Morphology

Racemization kinetics of amino acids, determined for the commonly occurring fossil gastropod Succinea, facilitates the ability to construct an accurate and precise paleothermometer to estimate paleotemperatures over specific time intervals during the last 150,000 years in parts of Central Europe. Racemization within the carbonate shell of Succcinea is induced at high temperatures over increasing intervals of time in the laboratory and measured for aspartic acid (asp), glutamic acid (glu), valine (val), and phenylalanine (phe), by reverse-phase liquid chromatography.

The fossil population structure of the gastropod Neptunea angulata from the late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene was investigated in this project in order to contribute to a wider study on the influence of predation on populations and the evolutionary history of organisms. Over time, predator-prey relationships can drive evolution in a way similar to the Red Queen Hypothesis. However, before the effects of predation can be understood one must determine how the population dynamics functioned without the influence of predation. There are a number of problems that arise when determining population

Abstract:

Combined ESR/U-series dating of fossil teeth has been increasingly used in geochronological research over the past two decades. Results prove that it can be potentially applied to the sites in different geological contexts (fluvial/lacustrine or karstic environments) over a timescale of 104-106 years, and it is an interesting dating method for the studies of the Pleistocene human migrations, such as the dispersal of Acheulian bifacial technology. The present work mainly contains 1) a detailed study of the combined ESR/U-series dating theory for understanding its limitations; 2) the development

Abstract:

Els objectius d’aquesta tesi doctoral han estat la caracterització dels conjunts faunístics del Plistocè superior del litoral català (àrea del massís del Garraf-Ordal) amb una mateixa problemàtica, la presència d’una gran quantitat d’acumulacions de restes de grans vertebrats modificades per carnívors amb escassa presència humana. Els treballs s’han centrat en l’anàlisi dels jaciments de la Cova del Rinoceront (Castelldefels), la Cova del Gegant (Sitges) i la Cova del Coll Verdaguer (Cervelló) amb l’objectiu de discernir les diferents ocupacions per part d’agents biològics, en determinar les e

Abstract:

Des études des signaux polliniques et charbons ont été effectuées au sein des divers contextes sédimentaires du bassin de la Loire moyenne. Des jalons paléoenvironnementaux importants ont alors pu être mis en évidence. Ils permettent de percevoir l’impact des cycles « glaciaire-interglaciaire » quaternaires au cours de la présence de l’homme préhistorique dans la région. L’analyse des vestiges de la combustion présents au sein d’un niveau archéologique a également été menée par l’intermédiaire de l’élaboration d’un protocole de quantification par analyse d’images. Elle a permis d’appréhender l

Abstract:

La Paléogénétique a pour but l’analyse de l’ADN de pièces archéologiques, et le renouveau de cette discipline tend à intégrer une dimension génomique par le séquençage massif des spécimens les mieux préservés. Les grottes, dont la température reste fraîche et constante, permettent la conservation de l’ADN. Nous avons analysé des échantillons du Pléistocène conservés dans des grottes, dont un site archéologique majeur, la Grotte Chauvet. L’étude a porté sur deux espèces, l’ours des cavernes, Ursus spelaeus et l’hyène des cavernes, Crocuta crocuta spelaea.À partir d’un échantillon particulièreme

Abstract:

South Africa is well known for its many, important fossil bearing deposits of Plio-Pleistocene age. Many of these sites contain abundant remains of extinct and extant animals including hominins. Non-herpetological fauna have been used to reconstruct important information about past environments and for chronological data. This study tried a different method; using herpefauna to establish past environments of Cooper’s Cave. Herpetological fauna potentially have numerous advantages in their use for such questions, including typically limited ranging behaviors, and specific temperature requiremen

In this study, we examine the fossil cheek teeth of leopard (Panthera pardus) recovered from the same horizon within the cave. Two isolated felid lower premolars and one molar, respectively P3, P4 and M1, had a series of progressive increase in size, and are believed to belong to the same individual under the subfamily of Pantherinae.
