All life forms across the globe are experiencing drastic changes in environmental conditions
as a result of global climate change. These environmental changes are happening rapidly …

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored in …

Although the first ancient DNA molecules were extracted more than three decades ago, the
first ancient nuclear genomes could only be characterized after high-throughput sequencing …

During the last glacial–interglacial cycle, Arctic biotas experienced substantial climatic
changes, yet the nature, extent and rate of their responses are not fully understood …

The genomic revolution has fundamentally changed how we survey biodiversity on earth.
High‐throughput sequencing (“HTS”) platforms now enable the rapid sequencing of DNA …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) refers to the genetic material that can be extracted from bulk
environmental samples such as soil, water, and even air. The rapidly expanding study of …

The continuous decline in Earth's biodiversity represents a major crisis and challenge for the
21st century, and there is international political agreement to slow down or halt this decline …

The use of lake sedimentary DNA to track the long-term changes in both terrestrial and
aquatic biota is a rapidly advancing field in paleoecological research. Although largely …

Although a rich record of Pleistocene human-associated archaeological assemblages
exists, the scarcity of hominin fossils often impedes the understanding of which hominins …

Abstract During the Last Glacial Maximum, continental ice sheets isolated Beringia
