Abstract Mollisols of the Eurasian steppe belt are highly productive soils whose hydraulic functioning depends on aggregate hierarchy and management-induced structural dynamics. This study compared the hydro-structural p...

The configuration of the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets during the Last and Penultimate Glacial Maxima (LGM; PGM) influenced millennial-scale climate changes, as well as solid Earth and sea level changes that occurred du...

The article broaches the concept of democratization starting from the very first european order, passing by the French Revolution ideas, theorizing the second european order, which was established by the absolutist monar...

Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS) is a rapid, low-cost, collagen-based method for the taxonomic identification of animal tissues. It is now increasingly applied to bone fragments from archaeological contexts, c...

The Iwo Eleru skeleton is the only Pleistocene human fossil currently known from Western Africa. Previously, we showed morphological affinities of the Iwo Eleru cranial remains with Pleistocene archaic African specimens,...

Abstract Background Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV, Orthoflavivirus encephalitidis) is an arbovirus of the family Flaviviridae. It is the etiological agent of tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), a severe disease affectin...

In 2018, we conducted a study of the terrestrial insect fauna of the Botanical Garden. Research was conducted at six areas: three areas in the meadow-steppe biotope, one area near a pond, and two areas in the forest part...

Abstract Over the past two decades, China has experienced frequent extreme events and substantial land cover changes. Site‐scale assessments of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) are constrained by the fixed land cover types...

The origin of wine is intrexicably linked with the appearance of ancient civilizations. The Neolithic period witnessed the emergence of wine production in Iran but the wild Eurasian grapewine was first turned into wine...

It is clear that malaria, a disease caused by Plasmodium spp., has burdened humans throughout our evolutionary paths and remains one of the deadliest maladies to date. Yet, in sharp contrast to the consequence, the human...

Abstract Background Abrupt declines in vegetation productivity risk irreversible transitions. However, the magnitude of such declines (abruptness)—a key determinant ranging from nonlinear reversible transitions to nonl...

El Mazo rock shelter (Asturias, Spain) contains a long and well-dated Mesolithic sequence that shows an extended human presence between 9 and 7.4 ka cal BP, including the climatic 8.2 ka event. This is evident from firep...

Abstract Atmospheric rivers cause extreme precipitation and sustain water resources in the western United States. Their occurrence has often been attributed to extratropical cyclones. Here, we apply a recently proposed m...

Evidence suggests that the Neanderthal and Homo sapiens lineages began diverging about 600,000 years ago, evolving largely separately in Eurasia and Africa after that time. Around 60,000 years ago H. sapiens began a sign...

Over the past three decades, a new picture of our own ancestral past has emerged through the elucidation of the complex genetic relationships between Neanderthals, Denisovans, and modern humans by the direct analysis of ...

The genus Homo has a moderately high degree of morphological diversity, with about fifteen species proposed. It is debatable whether there could have been several species of Homo coexisting and sharing similar ecological...

Abstract Old World orthohantaviruses, including Hantaan virus (HTNV), cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia. Available inactivated vaccines often induce low neutralizing antibodies and short-term ...

Abstract Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed to have emerged following the Neolithic transition. Palaeomicrobiological investigations of the zooarchaeological re...
