Herpetofaunal diversity changes with climate: evidence from the Quaternary of McEachern's Deathtrap Cave, southeastern Australia

Till Ramm et al.

Summary: The study indicates that the herpetofauna in McEachern's Deathtrap Cave in Victoria, Australia during the Late Pleistocene to Holocene period shows shifts in taxonomic relative abundance in response to pronounced periods of aridity in southeastern Australia over the past 14,000 years. Changes in reptile subfamily abundance and lizard morphotypes reflect the gradual community structure changes observed during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition in southeastern Australia, with aridity playing a significant role. The findings highlight the importance of the Australian herpetofaunal fossil record in understanding Quaternary community change and community responses to past climate change.

Holocene microbialite geochemistry records > 6000 years of secular influence of terrigenous flux on water quality for the southern Great Barrier Reef

Marcos Salas-Saavedra et al.

Summary: This study reveals the water quality evolution in the offshore waters of the Great Barrier Reef over the past 8200 years. The results show a non-linear trend in the influence of terrigenous sediment on the offshore water quality of the Great Barrier Reef, which is influenced by regional and global climate factors. The water quality in the southern Great Barrier Reef significantly improved around 3200 years ago.

An extended last glacial maximum in the Southern Hemisphere: A contribution to the SHeMax project

Lynda M. Petherick et al.

Summary: Proxy records indicate significant variability in climatic and environmental conditions across the Southern Hemisphere prior to the global last glacial maximum. This complexity suggests a different development pattern in the Southern Hemisphere compared to the North. Temperature and precipitation patterns show that local factors played a significant role in driving moisture availability.

Climate change without extinction: Tasmania's small-mammal communities persisted through the Last Glacial Maximum-Holocene transition

Matthew C. McDowell et al.

Summary: This study investigated changes in small mammals in Tasmania's forest environments over the past 20,000 years, revealing significant shifts in relative abundance and community composition in response to habitat changes. Despite no loss of species, the dominance of certain species varied from glacial to Holocene periods.

Examining Natural History through the Lens of Palaeogenomics

Kieren J. Mitchell et al.

Summary: Palaeogenomics, a high-resolution tool, reveals instances of both over- and underestimation of extinct diversity, detects cryptic faunal migration and turnover, allows quantification of sex biases and sexual dimorphism in the fossil record, reveals past hybridisation events, and highlights previously unrecognized routes of zoonotic disease transfer.

Species identification of Australian marsupials using collagen fingerprinting

Carli Peters et al.

Summary: The study introduces a new method called zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry (ZooMS) to address the challenges brought by fragmented and unidentifiable bones in archaeological sites. By developing novel ZooMS peptide markers, the study demonstrates the potential for significantly improving identification rates of bones from extant marsupial and monotreme species. The newly presented suite of peptide biomarkers not only aids in taxonomically identifying bone fragments, but also has the potential to amplify the zooarchaeological and paleontological record of Australia by focusing on ecologically and culturally important species.

Museum genomics reveals the rapid decline and extinction of Australian rodents since European settlement

Emily Roycroft et al.

Summary: Australia has the highest historically recorded rate of mammalian extinction, especially among rodents. Through genomic data and museum specimens, researchers reveal genetic diversity, evolutionary history, and evidence of rapid extinction in extinct species.
