A hundred pollen and plant macrofossil records from the Iberian Peninsula, Southern
France, the Italian Peninsula, Greece and the Aegean, and the southwestern Black Sea area …

Global climate shifted to markedly warmer interglacial conditions across the “mid-Brunhes
transition”(MBT,~ 400 ka). However, a global MBT synthesis that spans marine and …

Mediterranean climates are characterized by strong seasonal contrasts between dry
summers and wet winters. Changes in winter rainfall are critical for regional socioeconomic …

ABSTRACT Quaternary (last 2.6 million years) botany involves studying plant megafossils
(eg tree stumps), macrofossils (eg seeds, leaves), and microfossils (eg pollen, spores) …

The sediment record from Lake Ohrid (Southwestern Balkans) represents the longest
continuous lake archive in Europe, extending back to 1.36 Ma. We reconstruct the …

The northern Mediterranean reptiles and amphibians show contrasting biogeographic
histories during the Plio-Pleistocene. The influence of European climate changes on the …

Sandstones with carbonate cements are found in a variety of depositional settings (eg
fluvial, lacustrine, deltaic, shallow marine) with abundances ranging from just a few volume …

Available knowledge on the European white oaks (Quercus, sect. Quercus) plastome still
exhibits large gaps, mostly in respect of detailed phylogeny and information from southern …

In the last 46 years extensive effort has been devoted to the botanical identification of pollen
grains from Neogene deposits. This robust approach is the only reliable way to reconstruct …

Here, we describe a partial cranium of a large canid dated at 406.5±2.4 ka from the Middle
Pleistocene of Ponte Galeria (Rome, Italy). The sample represents one of the few Middle …
