Marine bioinvasions affect ecosystems in irreversible ways, creating socio-economic
problems worldwide. In particular, eastern Mediterranean marine fish faunas today are …

To better understand climate variability during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 11, we here
present a new, centennial-scale-resolution pollen record from Lake Ohrid (Balkan …

The relative roles of high-versus low-latitude forcing of millennial-scale climate variability are
still not well understood. Here we present terrestrial–marine climate profiles from the …

Climate change is frequently considered an important driver of hominin evolution and
dispersal patterns. The role of climate change in the last phase (900–700 ka) of the Middle …

Pollen analysis of the Montalbano Jonico marine succession (MJS), southern Italy, provides
a continuous vegetational record between 858 ka and 745.13 ka which includes Marine …
