Precise timing of natural and cultural events provides a foundation for understanding how past phenomena have driven changes in population culture. In this study, we used high-resolution Bayesian chronology to describe an event sequence massive abrupt water level decline large lake the contemporaneous that occurred eastern Fennoscandia during mid-Holocene. The study first transdisciplinary analysis causes effects by using combination archaeological, geological ecological data. Nearly 6000...
It has previously been demonstrated that the advance of Neolithic Revolution from Near East through Europe was decelerated in northernmost confines continent, possibly as a result space and resource competition with lingering Mesolithic populations. Finland among last domains to adopt farming lifestyle, is characterized by substructuring form distinct genetic border dividing northeastern southwestern regions country. To explore origins this divergence, geographical patterns mitochondrial...
Levänluhta is a unique archaeological site with the remains of nearly hundred Iron Age individuals found from water burial in Ostrobothnia, Finland. The strongest climatic downturn Common Era, resembling great Fimbulvinter Norse mythology, hit these people during 6th century AD. This study establishes chronological, dietary, and livelihood synthesis on this population based stable carbon nitrogen isotopic radiocarbon analyses human remains, supported by multidisciplinary evidence....
The long-term history of prehistoric populations is a challenging but important subject that can now be addressed through combined use archaeological and genetic evidence. In this study multidisciplinary team uses these approaches to document the existence major population bottleneck in Finland during Late Neolithic period, effects which are still detectable profile Finnish today. postglacial recolonisation was tracked space time using radiocarbon dates stone artefact distributions provide...
Abstract Background The Glanville fritillary (Melitaea cinxia) butterfly is a model system for metapopulation dynamics research in fragmented landscapes. Here, we provide chromosome-level assembly of the butterfly's genome produced from Pacific Biosciences sequencing pool males, combined with linkage map population crosses. Results final size 484 Mb an increase 94 on previously published genome. Estimation completeness BUSCO indicates that contains 92–94% genes complete and single copies. We...
Abstract Fragmentation of isolated populations increases the risk inbreeding and loss genetic diversity. The endemic Saimaa ringed seal ( Pusa hispida saimensis ) is one most endangered pinnipeds in world with a population only ~ 400 individuals. current diversity this subspecies, Lake Finland for ca. 1000 generations, alarmingly low. We performed whole-genome sequencing on seals (N = 30) analyzed level homozygosity composition across individual genomes. Our results show that has high number...
Archaeological phenomena, especially those that have been radiocarbon dated, can be utilized as indications of human activity and occupancy in space time. 14 C dates from archaeological contexts used proxies for population history events several recent studies (e.g. Gamble et al. 2005; Shennan Edinborough 2007; Oinonen 2010; Tallavaara Pesonen 2011). As a step towards larger spatiotemporal modeling effort, we present examples spatial distributions obtained using Bayesian methodology,...
The wetland find in Levänluhta (western Finland) consists of unburnt, mixed up remains from almost 100 human individuals along with artefacts and animal bones. This spring site, a small lake at the time use ( ad 300–800), has been investigated archaeologically late nineteenth century onwards. An impressive array finds, including precious artefacts, is on display National Museum Finland. However, material not previously subjected to systematic research clarify who these people were, why they...
ABSTRACT Far northeastern Siberia has been occupied by humans for more than 40 thousand years. Yet, owing to a scarcity of early archaeological sites and human remains, its population history relationship ancient modern populations across Eurasia the Americas are poorly understood. Here, we analyze 34 genome sequences, including two from fragmented milk teeth found at ~31.6 thousand-year-old (kya) Yana RHS site, earliest northernmost Pleistocene remains found. These genomes reveal complex...
Abstract The Glanville fritillary ( Melitaea cinxia ) butterfly is a long-term model system for metapopulation dynamics research in fragmented landscapes. Here, we provide chromosome level assembly of the butterfly’s genome produced from Pacific Biosciences sequencing pool males, combined with linkage map population crosses. final size 484 Mb an increase 94 on previously published genome. Estimation completeness BUSCO, indicates that contains 93 - 95% BUSCO genes complete and single copies....
