Paleoproteomics, the study of ancient proteins, is a rapidly growing field at the intersection of
molecular biology, paleontology, archaeology, paleoecology, and history. Paleoproteomics …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to the genetic material that can be extracted from bulk
environmental samples such as soil, water, and even air. The rapidly expanding study of …

The grey wolf (Canis lupus) was the first species to give rise to a domestic population, and
they remained widespread throughout the last Ice Age when many other large mammal …

The domestication of animals led to a major shift in human subsistence patterns, from a
hunter–gatherer to a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, which ultimately resulted in the …

Due to postmortem DNA degradation and microbial colonization, most ancient genomes
have low depth of coverage, hindering genotype calling. Genotype imputation can improve …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) degradation is a primary mechanism limiting the detection of
rare species using eDNA techniques. To better understand the environmental drivers of …

An understanding of the structural complexity of mineralised tissues is fundamental for
exploration into the field of diagenesis. Here we review aspects of current and past research …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) surveillance holds great promise for improving species
conservation and management. However, few studies have investigated eDNA dynamics …

The geographic and temporal origins of the domestic dog remain controversial, as genetic
data suggest a domestication process in East Asia beginning 15,000 years ago, whereas …

Accurate identification of the biological sex of ancient remains is vital for critically testing
hypotheses about social structure in prehistoric societies. However, morphological methods …
