A comprehensive, illustrated guide to the preparation (ie extraction, concentration and
microscope slide production) of palynomorphs from samples of sediments, sedimentary …

Coprolites are a highly informative but still underutilized proxy for understanding past
environments, palaeodiets, and ancient human health. Here we provide a critical review of …

The fossil record of parasites is limited thus far. A survey of the fossil record shows that some
modes of preservation show a higher potential for the preservation of parasitic remains or …

Abstract The Early Pleistocene archeological site of Fuente Nueva-3 (FN3) preserves some

Fossilized faeces (bromalites) are common in the geological record and have been
recognized for centuries, first for their peculiarity and later for sedimentological and …

The history of study of vertebrate coprolites can be divided into four phases:(1) 1800-1890–
initial studies;(2) 1890-1910–first bloom;(3) 1910-1950–intermittent work;(4) 1950-1990 …

Abstract Knowledge concerning the diversity of parasitism and its reach across our current
understanding of the tree of life has benefitted considerably from novel molecular …

Birds are some of the most diverse organisms on Earth, with species inhabiting a wide
variety of niches across every major biome. As such, birds are vital to our understanding of …

Coprolites are among the faunal traces of the archaeological and paleontological fossil
record. This is the first study of multiple proxies in herbivore coprolites from the South …

Coprolites from the Rhaetian bone beds in south-west England can be assigned to
crustaceans and fishes. Here, we report crustacean microcoprolites, including …
