Tooth and Long Bone Scaling in Sardinian Ochotonids (Early Pleistocene-Holocene): Evidence for Megalodontia and Its Palaeoecological Implications
(Elsevier, 2021-09-09)
[Abstract] Body size is a useful character to unravel the biology of fossil taxa and, indirectly, the palaeoenvironment in which they lived. However, the reliability of size proxies is debated, particularly among insular ...
Importance of the Postcranial Skeleton in Eusuchian Phylogeny: Reassessing the Systematics of Allodaposuchid Crocodylians
(PLOS, 2021-06-09)
[Abstract] Our current knowledge on the crocodyliform evolution is strongly biased towards the skull morphology, and the postcranial skeleton is usually neglected in many taxonomic descriptions. However, it is logical to ...
Prolagus Pomel, 1853 (Lagomorpha, Mammalia) in the Framework of the Pliocene Faunal Rearrangements in Central Europe
(Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (París), 2021-06-28)
[Abstract] Pliocene occurrences of Prolagus Pomel, 1853 in central Europe represent anomalies out of the peri-Mediterranean area, at that time the core distribution of the genus. Though known for several decades, those ...
Comparing surface digitization techniques in palaeontology using visual perceptual metrics and distance computations between 3D meshes
(Wiley, 2021-01-17)
[Abstract] The use of surface digitization techniques and methods in palaeontology has increased in the last two decades, mainly due to recent improvements in devices and software. However, many digitization efforts are ...
Stratification Strength and Light Climate Explain Variation in Chlorophyll 𝑎 at the Continental Scale in a European Multilake Survey in a Heatwave Summer
(Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography, 2021-10-30)
[Abstract] To determine the drivers of phytoplankton biomass, we collected standardized morphometric, physical, and biological data in 230 lakes across the Mediterranean, Continental, and Boreal climatic zones of the ...
Palaeohistology Reveals a Slow Pace of Life for the Dwarfed Sicilian Elephant
(Springer Nature, 2021-11-24)
[Abstract] The 1-m-tall dwarf elephant Palaeoloxodon falconeri from the Pleistocene of Sicily (Italy) is an extreme example of insular dwarfism and epitomizes the Island Rule. Based on scaling of life-history (LH) traits ...
Climate Change Facilitated the Early Colonization of the Azores Archipelago During Medieval Times
(National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021-08-27)
[Abstract] Humans have made such dramatic and permanent changes to Earth's landscapes that much of it is now substantially and irreversibly altered from its preanthropogenic state. Remote islands, until recently isolated ...
