Our findings highlight the central role of eccentricity in modulating the influence of high-latitude glacial climate variability on the northern Andes. During periods of high eccentricity (∼70–260 ka), we conclude that the region was shielded from northern high-latitude glacial ice-sheet dynamics by an intensified Walker circulation. After ∼70 ka, a weakening of this zonal circulation allowed high-latitude, millennial-scale glacial climate variability to penetrate deeper into the tropics, influencing the position of the ITCZ and the rainbelt. This shift in climate dynamics led to increased regional millennial-scale climate variability. A detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) on fossil pollen data highlights a contemporaneous compositional shift previously masked by glacial-interglacial vegetation changes. The observed ecological shift coincides temporally with predictions of elevated speciation rates in mechanistic simulations. Combined, these results suggest a long-lasting environmental impact from glacial millennial-scale climate dynamics, supporting the hypothesis that increased environmental dynamism during glacial periods may trigger the speciation pump in the Northern Andes more than glacial inceptions or terminations. These findings underscore the evolving nature of regional climate drivers and their complex interplay with ecology, offering new insights into the role of climate variability in shaping biodiversity in this hotspot.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34142,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Advances","volume":"18 ","pages":"Article 100278"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143621057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aimed to characterize the 40SDS through an integrated approach using litho-structural, hydro-geochemical, and numerical modeling techniques to understand the dynamics and continuing decline rate. The results showed that faults channelize groundwater from the western plateau through the escarpment to the rift floor, discharging into Lakes Abaya and Chamo. Hydro-geochemical analysis identified magnesium (Mg<sup>2</sup>⁺), calcium (Ca<sup>2</sup>⁺), and bicarbonate as dominant ions, reflecting interactions with silicate minerals, with concentrations increasing downstream due to water-rock contact. Numerical modeling indicated that the aquifer is highly sensitive to hydraulic conductivity, with 99.8% of groundwater outflow occurring through constant head boundaries.

Our study further demonstrates that snails of the same species absorb a highly consistent proportion of limestone under stable environment.

Here, we establish a methodological comparison on a controlled experimentally-derived set of BSM generated by four different types of carnivores, using geometric morphometric (GMM) and computer vision (CV) methods. We highlight that previous generalizations of high accuracy on tooth marks using GMM are heuristically incomplete, because only a small range of allometrically-conditioned tooth pits have been used. Biased replication and exclusion of the most widely represented forms of non-oval tooth pits from such analyses have compromised the published results and their ensuing generalizations. Here, we document bidimensionally a much wider range of tooth pits, using their outlines (and not a limited set of non-reproducible <em>idem locus</em> semi-landmarks), through Fourier analyses. The resulting tooth mark sets show low accuracy (and resolution) in the classification of tooth marks per carnivore modifying agent. This low resolution is also reproduced when using a semi-landmark approach. In contrast, our study demonstrates that CV approaches, through Deep Learning (DL), using convolutional neural networks (DCNN), and Few-Shot Learning (FSL) models, classify experimental tooth pits with 81% and 79.52% accuracy, respectively, being equally efficient at classification. However, a limitation in CV methods occurs when applied to the fossil record, as BSM undergo dynamic transformations over time. The most impactful processes occur early in taphonomic history, altering the original BSM properties. Consequently, no objective referents exist for marks combining original and subsequent diagenetically or biostratinomically modifying processes. However, in well-preserved contexts, such as the 1.8 Ma tooth marks from some of the Olduvai sites, confidence in interpretations can be high with convergent CV models indicating high agent attribution probability. While GMM shows potential in 3D, its current bidimensional application yields limited discriminant power (&lt;40%). Thus, future research should utilize complete 3D topographical information for more complex GMM and CV analyses, potentially resolving current interpretive challenges. Despite necessary cautions, these new methods offer an unprecedented objective means of classifying BSM to taxon-specific agency with confidence indicators. Continued research should refine these approaches, enhancing the reliability of prehistoric interpretations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34142,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Advances","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100268"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143421554","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigate changes in fossil ungulate community composition and grass pollen abundance from late Quaternary sites across southern Africa to evaluate the extent to which these communities track paleovegetation change across this interval. Our dataset draws from faunal and pollen records across southern Africa. Results from the comparison of compositional changes in both records suggest a sub-continental-scale decoupling of grass cover and ungulate community composition during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Although there is strong evidence for a regional-scale decline in grazers from the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition to the early Holocene, there is no evidence for regional-scale declines in grassy vegetation. Several potential mechanisms may account for this decoupling of grazers and grass abundance. The possible strengthening of winter rainfall systems during glacial Pleistocene may have played a role by enhancing year-round availability of grasses in the interior and by elevating moisture availability and productivity in the Cape Floristic Region. Alternatively, current paleoecological data allow for the possibility that Pleistocene ‘grazers’ consumed more dicots, such that their decline at the onset of the Holocene reflects dietary niche contraction rather than vegetation change.

In contrast, moderate and low-risk regions are characterized by more stable slopes and lower levels of human impact. Additionally, the study identifies potential relocation sites with minimal landslide risk, primarily located in flatter, stable terrains with less human encroachment. This study highlights the importance of combining GIS and RS for practical landslide risk assessment and provides valuable insights for disaster risk management, urban planning, and identifying safer areas for population relocation. The results are intended to assist local authorities and planners in making informed decisions to mitigate landslide hazards and promote sustainable regional development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34142,"journal":{"name":"Quaternary Science Advances","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100272"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143437651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
