Nature
. 2025 Feb;
638(8049):146-151.
PMID: 39910387
Fossils representing Cretaceous lineages of crown clade birds (Aves) are exceptionally rare but are crucial to elucidating major ecological shifts across early avian divergences. Among the earliest known putative crown...

Commun Biol
. 2023 Mar;
6(1):257.
PMID: 36944801
The evolution of mammalian vision is difficult to study because the actual receptor organs-the eyes-are not preserved in the fossil record. Orbital orientation and size are the traditional proxies for...

Curr Biol
. 2022 Jan;
32(4):851-860.e7.
PMID: 35016010
Traditionally, paleontologists have relied on the morphological features of bones and teeth to reconstruct the evolutionary relationships of extinct animals. In recent decades, the analysis of ancient DNA recovered from...

Nat Commun
. 2021 Dec;
12(1):7120.
PMID: 34880234
The temporal and spatial coarseness of megafaunal fossil records complicates attempts to to disentangle the relative impacts of climate change, ecosystem restructuring, and human activities associated with the Late Quaternary...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2021 May;
118(20).
PMID: 33941645
The arrival of modern humans into previously unoccupied island ecosystems is closely linked to widespread extinction, and a key reason cited for Pleistocene megafauna extinction is anthropogenic overhunting. A common...

Curr Biol
. 2021 Apr;

PMID: 33878301
Analysis of ancient environmental DNA (eDNA) has revolutionized our ability to describe biological communities in space and time, by allowing for parallel sequencing of DNA from all trophic levels. However,...

Nat Commun
. 2020 Sep;
11(1):4048.
PMID: 32873779
Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles are correlated with dramatic temperature oscillations. Examining how species responded to these natural fluctuations can provide valuable insights into the impacts of present-day anthropogenic climate change. Here...
