To date, the only Neandertal genome that has been sequenced to high quality is from an individual found in Southern Siberia. We of a female ~50,000 years ago Vindija Cave, Croatia, ~30-fold genomic coverage. She carried 1.6 differences per 10,000 base pairs between two copies her genome, fewer than present-day humans, suggesting populations were small size. Our analyses indicate she was more closely related Neandertals mixed with ancestors humans living outside sub-Saharan Africa previously...
Although a rich record of Pleistocene human-associated archaeological assemblages exists, the scarcity hominin fossils often impedes understanding which hominins occupied site. Using targeted enrichment mitochondrial DNA, we show that cave sediments represent source ancient mammalian DNA includes traces even at sites and in layers where no remains have been discovered. By automation-assisted screening numerous sediment samples, detected Neandertal eight from four caves Eurasia. In Denisova...
The anthropogenic modification of trophic pathways is seemingly prompting the increase jellyfish populations at expense planktivorous fishes. However, gross generalizations are often made because most basic aspects ecology and diverse interactions with fishes remain poorly described.

Energy system optimization models (ESOM) are widely used to inform about energy transition strategies. The heterogeneity of consumers, especially in the heat sector, is rarely considered these model types. Integrating consumer and behavioral factors into ESOMs may generate new insights for policy. In this study a literature review was conducted, identifying empirical data on behavior adopting residential heating systems. This integrated an ESOM German combining established methods...

Herein we describe Ocrepeira klamt sp. n. (Araneae: Araneidae), a new orb-weaving spider species from Colombian páramo, which was formerly inaccessible for scientific studies due to decades long armed conflicts. Both, phenotypic and molecular data are used confirm genus affiliation, the is placed into phylogenetic context with other araneid spiders. Morphological characteristics ecological notes of reported together sequence barcoding region cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) provide...

Zusammenfassung Der evolutionäre Erfolg von Spinnen (Araneae) ist eng mit der Entwicklung und vielfältigen Verwendung ihrer Spinnenseiden verknüpft. Das Fasermaterial wird z. B. zum Schutz Nachkommen, zur Verbreitung Orientierung, für den Beutefang genutzt. Etwa die Hälfte über 48.000 bekannten Arten baut Netze, deren Variabilität als Beispiel eine Koevolution Insekten Lebensräumen gilt. Im Laufe Evolution entstanden durch Anpassungen an Beuteökologie Veränderungen Spidroine auf molekularer...
