Abstract:
... The use of renewable jet fuels (RJFs) is an option for meeting the greenhouse gases (GHG) reduction targets of the aviation sector. Therefore, most of the studies have focused on climate change indicators, but other environmental impacts have been disregarded. In this paper, an attributional life cycle assessment is performed for ten RJF pathways in Brazil, considering the environmental trade-offs ...

Abstract:
... Salto Grande is a large South American reservoir on the border between Uruguay and Argentina that was impounded in 1979 and experiences recurrent, massive cyanobacteria blooms. A water-monitoring program was initiated 20 years after the dam was built, hence the causes and onset of cyanobacteria blooms remain poorly known. We collected two sediment cores from the old river channel in the reservoir ...

Abstract:
... Excavations in the Lagoa Uri de Cima Archaeological Site (Salgueiro, Pernambuco, Brazil) revealed considerable Pleistocene mammalian fossils and lithics in multiple sedimentary layers of the ancient lake, currently dry. The site was found in 2010 during the construction of an open-air system of canals to connect water sheds of the semi-arid regions with the São Francisco River. The coexistence of ...

Abstract:
... Over 80 samples of fossil woods were collected from numerous outcrops of the Río Turbio Formation, southwestern Patagonia. Preservation of the woods is variable and only about half of these samples could be identified to genus level. The assemblage consists of six types of conifers and four types of dicotyledons, one of them a new species of Caldcluvioxylon (Cunoniaceae). We provide an emended dia ...

Abstract:
... Comprehending ecological dynamics requires not only knowledge of modern communities but also detailed reconstructions of ecosystem history. Ancient DNA (aDNA) metabarcoding allows biodiversity responses to major climatic change to be explored at different spatial and temporal scales. We extracted aDNA preserved in fossil rodent middens to reconstruct late Quaternary vegetation dynamics in the hype ...

Abstract:
... In the fossil record, teeth are often all that remains of a fossil organism. Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is a common proxy for diet using dental wear features at the μm-scale, enabling comparative and quantitative assessments of various feeding traits in extant and extinct species. In extinct species, original diet-related dental wear features may be overprinted by post-mortem alterat ...

Abstract:
... The gastropod genus Cerithium includes several polymorphic species which are hardly distinguishable using a morphological approach based on teleoconch characters. Here we show that protoconch characters can be reliably used to identify the larger Mediterranean species (Cerithium alucastrum, C. repandum and C. vulgatum), and to assess their intraspecific variability. Based on a large amount of morp ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: L. tarentolae, the lizard-infecting species of Old World geckos, has been classified as non-pathogenic to man. While it has been demonstrated that L. tarentolae is capable of infecting human phagocytic cells and to differentiate into amastigote-like forms, there is no clear evidence for its efficient replication within macrophages. Here we provide first evidence for L. tarentolae ancie ...

Abstract:
... Phylogenetic relationships among families within the order Atheriniformes have been difficult to resolve on the basis of morphological evidence. Molecular studies so far have been fragmentary and based on a small number taxa and loci. In this study, we provide a new phylogenetic hypothesis based on sequence data collected for eight molecular markers for a representative sample of 103 atheriniform ...

Recent palaeogenetic studies indicate a highly dynamic history in collared lemmings (Dicrostonyx spp.), with several demographical changes linked to climatic fluctuations that took place during the last glaciation. At the western range margin of D. torquatus, these changes were characterized by a series of local extinctions and recolonizations. However, it is unclear whether this pattern represent ...

Therefore, most Javanese mammalian taxa are close if not identical to their mainland relatives.

A different strategy to cope with limited resources on islands is general ...

Fossil fruits of the species-rich family Cyperaceae (Poales) are frequently found in Cenozoic sediments of Europe and their taxonomical analysis is particularly difficult and poorly practised, because each fossil has to be compared with several tens of modern samples in order to pinpoint its nearest living relatives. This is only possible by using collections specifically prepared for archaeo- or ...
