Dental enamel proteomics provides access to molecular information from time periods far beyond the reach of ancient DNA, offering a powerful means to investigate evolutionary dynamics in deep time. Here we present the first large-scale enamel proteomic dataset for 55 cave bears to date, analysing fossils spanning the Early to Late Pleistocene across southwestern Europe, including key specimens from Atapuerca sites.

Hyaenids are an integral part of the Neogene and Quaternary ecosystems of the Old World, including some of their most specialized apex predators. However, the exact evolutionary drivers that led to the taxonomic and adaptive radiation of the hyenas are still unclear. [...]

For the first time, fossil evidence of anguine material is reported from the middle–late Tortonian Konservat-Lagerstätte locality of Libros (Teruel, Spain). So far, only mammals, birds, snakes, amphibians, insects and flora in excellent conditions of preservation were described from the lacustrine sediments of this site. [...]

Crocodylomorpha (crocodilians and their extinct relatives) have an extensive fossil record that extends from the Late Triassic to the present day. Nevertheless, fossilized soft tissues (e. g. skin and cartilage) are virtually unknown for most clades, with the exception of the marine thalattosuchians. [...]

Citizen science is increasingly used to document biodiversity in urban ecosystems while simultaneously promoting public engagement with nature. However, how institutional coordination relates to participation levels and the resulting representation of urban biodiversity remains poorly understood, particularly in European cities. [...]

The Eurasian cave lion was abundant across the Northern Hemisphere before the Late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions. However, the extent of the distinction between cave and modern lions and their adaptive differences have remained unclear. [...]
