The deglaciation of the Americas during the Last Glacial Termination
This paper reviews current understanding of deglaciation in North, Central and South
America from the Last Glacial Maximum to the beginning of the Holocene. Together with …

Practical guidelines and recent advances in the Itrax XRF core-scanning procedure
XRF core scanning has evolved to become a standard analytical technique for the rapid
assessment of elemental, density and textural variations in a wide range of sediments and …

The evolutionary history of dogs in the Americas
Dogs were present in the Americas before the arrival of European colonists, but the origin
and fate of these precontact dogs are largely unknown. We sequenced 71 mitochondrial and …

The Bering Strait was flooded 10,000 years before the last glacial maximum
The cyclic growth and decay of continental ice sheets can be reconstructed from the history
of global sea level. Sea level is relatively well constrained for the Last Glacial Maximum …

1-km resolution rebound surfaces and paleotopography of glaciated North America since the Last Glacial Maximum
We present a series of 1-km spatial resolution rebound (isobase) surfaces based on publicly
distributed predictions obtained from the glacio-isostatic adjustment models known as ICE …

Arctic Ocean stratification set by sea level and freshwater inputs since the last ice age
Salinity-driven density stratification of the upper Arctic Ocean isolates sea-ice cover and
cold, nutrient-poor surface waters from underlying warmer, nutrient-rich waters. Recently …

Deglacial floods in the Beaufort Sea preceded Younger Dryas cooling
A period of cooling about 13,000 years ago interrupted about 2,000 years of deglacial
warming. Known as the Younger Dryas (YD), the event is thought to have resulted from a …

Ancient horse genomes reveal the timing and extent of dispersals across the Bering Land Bridge
Abstract The Bering Land Bridge (BLB) last connected Eurasia and North America during
the Late Pleistocene. Although the BLB would have enabled transfers of terrestrial biota in …

Ancient divergence of Indian and Tibetan wolves revealed by recombination‐aware phylogenomics
The grey wolf (Canis lupus) expanded its range across Holarctic regions during the late
Pleistocene. Consequently, most grey wolves share recent (< 100,000 years ago) maternal …

New evidence of the earliest domestic dogs in the Americas
The domestication of dogs likely occurred in Eurasia by 16,000 years ago, and the initial
peopling of the Americas potentially happened around the same time. Dogs were long …
