Numerous high elevation tropical mountains around the world show evidence of past glacial activity during Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Cerro Chirripó in Costa Rica exhibits paleoglacial landforms such as cirques, moraine deposits and polished striated bedrock surfaces. We used aerial imagery (1:25000) contour lines to develop a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for LGM. determined paleo-equilibrium ...

Background and Objective: Disordered eating behaviours are a spectrum of maladaptive that affect substantial proportion today's society, having been studied regarding their relationship with different dietary patterns. The present study aimed to better characterise the omnivore, vegan, vegetarian palaeolithic (paleo) patterns explore pattern's differences disordered indicators, sociodemographic...

We present paleo-water depth reconstructions for the Pefka E section deposited on the island of Rhodes (Greece) during the early Pleistocene. For these reconstructions, a transfer function (TF) using modern benthic foraminifera surface samples from the Adriatic and Western Mediterranean Seas has been developed. The TF model gives an overall predictive accuracy of ~50 m over a water depth range ...

北海道中央東部の糠平湖周辺に分布する十勝幌加層とタウシュベツ層から大型植物化石群を得た（十勝幌加およびタウシュベツ植物群）．当地域の層序と火山性堆積物の放射年代測定値から，タウシュベツ層は下部更新統に改められる．後期中新世の十勝幌加植物群は47分類群，前期更新世のタウシュベツ植物群は42分類群より構成され，両者ともに木本ではウダイカンバ類縁種を優占種とし，他のカバノキ科やカエデ属などの落葉広葉樹と常緑針葉樹を含む古植生を示す．両植物群では，含む分類群に相違も多いが，類似した相観の植生を示す．これは，両者が火山活動の影響や類似した湿潤冷温帯気候下で成立した可能性を示す．

Global mean sea level (GMSL) during intermediate interglacial Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) (60–26 ka) has proven difficult to constrain. Paleo-sea estimates based on ice margin, modeling, and paleo-shoreline reconstructions indicate that MIS GMSL was substantially higher than reconstructed from deep-ocean benthic foraminifera oxygen isotope (δ18O) coral records, implying much smaller sheets 3...

Integration of three-dimensional seismic and well data from the Northern Carnarvon Basin on North West Shelf Australia was used to assess evidence for top seal breach a paleo-gas accumulation.

The contemporary distribution of crenobiontic endemics in central Texas is enigmatic because only some springs are occupied by crenobionts despite other unoccupied having seemingly suitable habitats. In the absence complete paleo-records, a cohesive and widely accepted explanation for this biogeography has eluded researchers many years. We suggest that data on species with obligate coevolution,...

11 The influence of climate on biodiversity is an important ecological question. Vari12 ous theories try to link climate change to allelic richness and therefore to predict 13 the impact of global warming on genetic diversity. We model the relationship be14 tween genetic diversity in the European beech forests and curves of temperature 15 and precipitation reconstructed from pollen databases. O...

It is [in India] that the ingenious manner of expressing all numbers in ten characters originated, by assigning to them at once an absolute and a local [positional] value, a subtle and important conception, of which the simplicity is such that we can [only] with difficulty, appreciate its merit. But this very simplicity and the great facility with which we are enabled to perform our arithmetica...
