Heinrich event 4 (H4) is well documented in the North Atlantic Ocean and the adjacent continents as a cooling event 39,000 yr before present (BP). To quantify the impact of this event with respect to climate and vegetation over the Iberian…

Since the establishment of muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) on the Seward Peninsula in western Alaska, USA, herders of semi-domesticated reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) have voiced concerns about potential competition for forage between the species. We…

We examined the reproductive phenology of wild boar populations in four regions of the western Iberian Peninsula during the 1999/2000 hunting season (October February). To estimate conception dates and birth distribu- tion frequencies, we used…

Major advances have recently been made in the understanding of the relationship between habitat and ecosystem dynamics. These will have a major impact on the approach to nature conservation management in the future. The issues are examined and…

(1) Species of terrestrial mammals, reptiles and amphibians were surveyed in patches of semi-natural and disturbed vegetation within the City of Oxford. The patches were delimited by roads, walls or other artificial barriers, and ranged from 0.16 ha…

1. The issue of competition between livestock and wild herbivores has remained contentious. We studied the diets and population structures of the mountain ungulate bharal Pseudois nayaur and seven species of livestock to evaluate whether or not they…

The concept of the ecological niche relates a set of environmental variables to the fitness of species, while habitat suitability models (HSMs) relate environmental variables to the likelihood of occurrence of the species. In spite of this…

Variation in upper limb long bone cross-sectional properties may reflect a phenotypically plastic response to habitual loading patterns. Structural differences between limb bones have often been used to infer past behavior from hominin remains;…

A primary goal of palaeoecology is the reconstruction of the adaptations and modes of life of extinct species, or palaeoautoecological characterization. The behavioral attributes of the fossil species have been inferred in different ways, but the…

In order to hold government accountable for its actions, citizens must know what those actions are. To that end, they must insist that government act openly and transparently to the greatest extent possible. In the twenty-first century, this entails…

Past literature tends towards dichotomous representations of computer hackers as either unhealthy young men engaged in bold tournaments of sinister hacking or visionaries whose utopian technological lifestyle has the potential to disrupt the…

Hadrosaur dinosaurs (Ornithischia: Hadrosauridae) were abundant in Late Cretaceous terrestrial environments of North America and Asia. Their derived dental and postcranial specializations for herbivory have led to the suggestion that these dinosaurs…

Hadza evidence indicates hyena scavenging is affected by whether bones are cooked or burned. Bones extensively exposed to heat/fire have low amounts of hyena damage, so low-density bones may sometimes survive ravaging in higher than expected…

In most human foraging societies, the meat of large animals is widely shared. Many assume that people follow this practice because it helps to reduce the risk inherent in big game hunting. In principle, a hunter can offset the chance of many hungry…

Report of scavenging practices among Hadza. The authors infer that scavenging have been an important source for early hominids in comparable environments only intermittently and only if they could displace large carnivores in competition encounters

Hafting has long been recognized by archaeologists as a process affecting stone tools. However, the effects of this process on the archaeological record have been virtually ignored. Hafting affects the final typological form of tools because hafted…

Contribution de l'étude des poils à l'identification des bovinés domestiqués du Néolithique final, d'après la découverte du site de Skara Brae (Orkney). (French)

Hallucal tarsometatarsal joints from African pongids, modern humans, and Australopithecus afarensis are compared to investigate the anatomical and mechanical changes that accompanied the transition to terrestrial bipedality. Features analyzed…

The relations between stimuli triggering a hand grasping movement and the subsequent action were studied in normal human participants. Participants were instructed to prepare to grasp a bar, oriented either clockwise or counterclockwise, and to…

We report here the study of the 22 hand and foot remains from the Early Pleistocene level TD6 of the Gran Dolina site at Sierra de Atapuerca (Burgos, Spain) recovered from 1994 to 1996. These remains are paratypes of Homo antecessor. All of the…
