Late Pleistocene temperature patterns in the Western Palearctic: insights from rodent associations compared with general circulation models Open
Since rodent fossils are preserved in many low- and high-latitude archaeological and paleontological sites from a wide variety of environments, their associations are a commonly useful proxy for inferring past local climate and environment…

Living on the edge: Pleistocene ice‐free refugia and collared lemming ( <i>Dicrostonyx</i> sp.) in the North American High Arctic Open
Collared lemmings (genus Dicrostonyx ) are an emblematic group of Arctic‐tundra mammalian communities, comprising six different species in North America. As other northern fauna, most of their diversity is impacted by Pleistocene glacial–i…

Breaking Free from Field Layers: The Interest of Post-excavation Stratigraphies (PES) for Producing Reliable Archaeological Interpretations and Increasing Chronological Resolution Open
In order to track diachronic changes in archaeological sequences, researchers typically partition time into stratigraphic layers defined during fieldwork, which serve as the framework for ensuing analyses. These analytical units have a sig…

Ancient DNA of narrow-headed vole reveal common features of the Late Pleistocene population dynamics in cold-adapted small mammals Open
The narrow-headed vole, collared lemming and common vole were the most abundant small mammal species across the Eurasian Late Pleistocene steppe-tundra environment. Previous ancient DNA studies of the collared lemming and common vole have …

Another mention of Meadow Vole (<i>Microtus pennsylvanicus</i>) found in pellets of Snowy Owl (<i>Bubo scandiacus</i>) in northern Ungava Peninsula, Canada Open
The examination of raptor pellets can be used to evaluate Arctic biodiversity. We found the remains of Meadow Vole (Microtus pennsylvanicus) and Ungava Collared Lemming (Dicrostonyx hudsonius) in pellets from Snowy Owl (Bubo scandiacus) ne…

Who Killed the Small Mammals of Ittenheim (Northeastern France)? An Integrative Approach and New Taphonomic Data for Investigating Bone Assemblages Accumulated by Small Carnivores Open
Small carnivores are susceptible to regularly accumulating small- to medium-sized mammal remains in both natural and archaeological sites. However, compared to nocturnal birds of prey, these accumulations are still poorly documented and ar…

The missing <i>Myopus</i>: plugging the gaps in Late Pleistocene small mammal identification in western Europe with geometric morphometrics Open
Lemmus and Myopus are two lemming species with distinct habitat requirements but which show very similar dental morphologies. They are thus extremely difficult to distinguish from one another in the fossil record on the basis of their dent…

Detecting stratigraphical issues using direct radiocarbon dating from small‐mammal remains Open
Frequently preserved in archaeological and palaeontological sites, the tiny size of small‐mammal remains favours percolations into underlying layers along stratigraphic sequences. This is one of the various post‐depositional processes that…
