The harsh climatic conditions during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) period have been
considered the cause of local extinctions and major faunal reorganizations that took place at …

Abstract The site of Riparo Tagliente (north-eastern Italy) contains one of the main Upper
Pleistocene archaeological sequences of south-western Europe. It also represents a key site …

The narrow-headed vole, collared lemming and common vole were the most abundant small
mammal species across the Eurasian Late Pleistocene steppe-tundra environment …

Mammal remains, preserved in archaeological and palaeontological deposits, are
commonly used to reconstruct past terrestrial climates and environments. Here we propose …

Aim Many species experienced population turnover and local extinction during the Late
Pleistocene. In the case of megafauna, it remains challenging to disentangle climate change …

Evaluating the impact of climate change on Neanderthal groups is frequently hindered by
the lack of adequate palaeoenvironmental data. Here, we explore how data concerning …

Abstract During the Late Pleistocene, narrow-headed voles (Lasiopodomys gregalis)
inhabited Eurasia's vast territories, frequently becoming the dominant small mammal …

In mammals, tooth function, and its efficiency, depends both on the mechanical properties of
the food and on chewing dynamics. These aspects have rarely been studied in combination …

Rodent biogeographic studies are disproportionately scarce in Iran, however, they are an
ideal system to understand drivers of biodiversity distributions in the country. The aims of the …

Recent studies of the Late Pleistocene small-mammal sequences of the Italian Peninsula
