Major excursions in sulfur isotopes linked to permafrost change in Eurasia during the last 50,000 years - Nature Geoscience
Sulfur isotope excursions in skeletal collagen samples from Eurasia suggest rapidly changing biogeochemical processes across the region from about 30,000 to 15,000 years ago, potentially related to ch...

Wrasses and parrotfish (family Labridae) are among the most diverse lineages of reef fishes on earth. A new study sheds light on Labridae diversification during the Miocene. Painting reef fish is so rewarding because I get to use some vibrant colors. Hello, turquoise and magenta! #sciart 🧪
In @nature.com we show that humans lived in rainforests ~150,000 years ago – over double the previous oldest estimate. Their presence in West Africa’s rainforests demonstrates the spread of early humans and places ecological diversity at the heart of our species. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
