The first Miocene fossils from coastal woodlands in the southern East African Rift
Bobe, René; Aldeias, Vera; Alemseged, Zeresenay; Anemone, Robert L.; Archer, Will; Aumaître, Georges; Bamford, Marion K.; Biro, Dora; Bourlès, Didier L.The Miocene was a key time in the evolution of African ecosystems witnessing the origin of the African apes and the isolation of eastern coastal forests through an expanding arid corridor. Until recently, however, Miocene sites from the southeastern regions of the continent were unknown. Here, we report the first Miocene fossil teeth from the shoulders of the Urema Rift in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. W...

Grilo, Clara; Afonso, Beatriz C.; Afonso, Filipe; Alexandre, Marta; Aliácar, Sara; Almeida, Ana; Alonso, Ivan Prego; Álvares, Francisco; Alves, PauloMammals are threatened worldwide, with 26% of all species being included in the IUCN threatened categories. This overall pattern is primarily associated with habitat loss or degradation, and human persecution for terrestrial mam mals, and pollution, open net fishing, climate change, and prey depletion for marine mammals. Mammals play a key role in maintaining ecosystems func tionality and resilience, and theref...

Vestígios paleontológicos do Algar da Manga Larga
Regala, Frederico Tátá; Cardoso, João LuísO Algar da Manga Larga tem-se revelado uma das mais importantes cavidades verticais em Portugal e, apesar de ser já conhecido pelos espeleólogos desde há mais de trinta anos, continua a fornecer dados com relevante significado científico. No decurso de uma acção de pesquisa espeleológica promovida pela AESDA no referido Algar foi fotografado um conjunto de ossos de carnívoro, jacentes numa galeria a cerca de 95...
