societies practiced land management across Australia's extensive tropical savannahs. Fire …

For most of the period of human occupation of Sahul (the combined Pleistocene landmass of
Australia and New Guinea), lower sea levels exposed an extensive area of the northwest of …

The timing and duration of the coldest period in the last glacial stage, often referred to as the

Both pollen and the carbon isotope (δ 1 3 C) compositions of long chain n-alkanes (nC 29-

A palynological record from Girraween Lagoon sediments (Darwin region of the Northern
Territory, Australia) provides detailed long-term insight into tropical savanna vegetation …

Many highly recognizable species lack genetic data important for conservation due to
neglect over their hyperabundance. This likely applies to the Sulfur-crested Cockatoo …

Abstract The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM;∼ 21 kyr ago) was the most recent time that the
Earth experienced global maximum ice volume and minimum eustatic sea level. The climate …

Fire is an essential component of tropical savannas, driving key ecological feedbacks and
functions. Indigenous manipulation of fire has been practiced for tens of millennia in …

Little is known about the Pleistocene climatic context of northern Australia at the time of early
human settlement. Here we generate a palaeoprecipitation proxy using stable carbon …
