Based on previous radiocarbon and U-series (Diffusion/Adsorption) dating of bone samples, the Middle Palaeolithic has been thought to persist at Gruta da Oliveira until ∼37 thousand years (ka) ago. New ages for stratigraphically constraining speleothems, coupled with new luminescence sediment infill, show that site's ∼6 m-thick archaeological stratigraphy dates entirely within a <30 ka interval spanning substages 5a-5b Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5. Significant technological change is observed across sequence, akin seen in Upper over similar timescales.

Host-associated microbiomes contribute in many ways to the homeostasis of metaorganism. The microbiome's contributions range from helping provide nutrition and aiding growth, development, behavior protecting against pathogens toxic compounds. Here we summarize current knowledge diversity importance microbiome animals, using representative examples wild domesticated species. We demonstrate how beneficial ecological roles animal-associated can be generally grouped into well-defined main categories microbe-based alternative treatments applied mitigate problems for both economic conservation purposes crucial about host-microbiota symbiotic interactions. suggest a Customized Combination Microbial-Based Therapies promote animal health practice sustainable husbandry. also discuss connections threats associated with biodiversity loss, microorganism extinction, emerging diseases, such as COVID-19 pandemic.

Significance We report the remarkable discovery of an early Aurignacian occupation, ∼5,000 years older than any Upper Paleolithic site in westernmost Eurasia. The archaeological and radiocarbon data provide definitive evidence that modern humans were western Iberia at a time when, if present all, Neanderthal populations would have been extremely sparse. This has important ramifications for our understanding process human dispersal replacement populations. results support very rapid, unimpeded across Eurasia notion climate environmental change played significant role this process.

The characterization of Neandertals’ diets has mostly relied on nitrogen isotope analyses bone and tooth collagen. However, few data have been recovered from bones or teeth Iberia due to poor collagen preservation at Paleolithic sites in the region. Zinc isotopes shown be a reliable method for reconstructing trophic levels absence organic matter preservation.

ABSTRACT The cave site of Axlor (Biscay, Spain) preserves one the most informative Middle Palaeolithic (MP) records for North Atlantic Iberian region, though its age remains poorly known. Here we use single‐grain optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) and thermally transferred OSL (TT‐OSL) dating sediments to improve constraint Axlor's MP succession (levels N–B). Our new ages are consistent with previously published terminus ante quem 14 C (>42.9 cal ka bp ), suggest sequence accumulated during a period ~50 kyr. levels N–F were deposited ~100–80 ka, probably marine isotope stage (MIS) 5d–a, while D B ~70 respectively, MIS 4 mid‐MIS 3. results indicate that major faunal technological turnovers occurred towards end 5, potentially coinciding broader environmental climatic changes. Quina record, dated here onset 4, is oldest in Europe. Comparisons neighbouring sites point complex regional chronologies development this particular behaviour, detailed correlations other sequences remain difficult due their poor chronological attributes. present study highlights important role optical can play elucidating evolution across southwestern

While the ocean has suffered many losses, there is increasing evidence that important progress being made in marine conservation. Examples include striking recoveries of once-threatened species, rates protection habitats, more sustainably managed fisheries and aquaculture, reductions some forms pollution, accelerating restoration degraded use its habitats to sequester carbon provide clean energy. Many these achievements have multiple benefits, including improved human well-being. Moreover, better understanding how implement conservation strategies effectively, new technologies databases, increased integration natural social sciences, indigenous knowledge promise continued progress. Enormous challenges remain, no single solution; successful efforts typically are neither quick nor cheap require trust collaboration. Nevertheless, a greater focus on solutions successes will help them become norm rather than exception.
