Radiocarbon Dates From The Grotte Du Renne And Saint-Césaire Support A Neandertal Origin For The Châtelperronian, Jean-Jacques Hublin, Sahra Talamo, Michèle Julien
Radiocarbon Dates From The Grotte Du Renne And Saint-Césaire Support A Neandertal Origin For The Châtelperronian, Jean-Jacques Hublin, Sahra Talamo, Michèle Julien
KIP Articles
The transition from the Middle Paleolithic (MP) to Upper Paleolithic (UP) is marked by the replacement of late Neandertals by modern humans in Europe between 50,000 and 40,000 y ago. Châtelperronian (CP) artifact assemblages found in central France and northern Spain date to this time period. So far, it is the only such assemblage type that has yielded Neandertal remains directly associated with UP style artifacts. CP assemblages also include body ornaments, otherwise virtually unknown in the Neandertal world. However, it has been argued that instead of the CP being manufactured by Neandertals, site formation processes and layer admixture resulted …

The Egyptian Fruit Bat Rousettus Aegyptiacus (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) In The Palaearctic: Geographical Variation And Taxonomic Status, Petr Benda, Peter Vallo, Pavel Hulva
KIP Articles
Two metrically defined subspecies have traditionally been recognised within the Palaearctic distribution range of the Egyptian fruit bat Rousettus aegyptiacus; the larger R. a. aegyptiacus in Egypt and the northern part of the Middle East and the smaller R. a. arabicus in the southern Middle East. An extensive material of R. aegyptiacus from all parts of this area, i.e. the Levant (incl. Turkey and Cyprus), Egypt (incl. Sinai), northern Sudan, Yemen, Oman, Iran, and Pakistan, as well as comparative samples from its sub-Saharan range, were tested using both morphological and genetic approaches in order to revise the species’ taxonomic status. …

Temperature-Dependent Growth Of Geomyces Destructans, The Fungus That Causes Bat White-Nose Syndrome, Michelle L. Verant, Justin G. Boyles, William Waldrep Jr.
Temperature-Dependent Growth Of Geomyces Destructans, The Fungus That Causes Bat White-Nose Syndrome, Michelle L. Verant, Justin G. Boyles, William Waldrep Jr.
KIP Articles
White-nose syndrome (WNS) is an emergent disease estimated to have killed over five million North American bats. Caused by the psychrophilic fungus Geomyces destructans, WNS specifically affects bats during hibernation. We describe temperature-dependent growth performance and morphology for six independent isolates of G. destructans from North America and Europe. Thermal performance curves for all isolates displayed an intermediate peak with rapid decline in performance above the peak. Optimal temperatures for growth were between 12.5 and 15.8°C, and the upper critical temperature for growth was between 19.0 and 19.8°C. Growth rates varied across isolates, irrespective of geographic origin, and above 12°C …
Speleogenesis Along Deep Regional Faults By Ascending Waters: Case Studies From Slovakia And Czech Republic, Pavel Bella, Pavel Bosák
Speleogenesis Along Deep Regional Faults By Ascending Waters: Case Studies From Slovakia And Czech Republic, Pavel Bella, Pavel Bosák
KIP Articles
The most conspicuous six examples illustrating ascending (per ascensum) speleogenesis linked with deep faults/fault systems were selected from Slovakia and Czech Republic. In the past, the caves have been described as product of phreatic, epiphreatic and vadose speleogenesis related to the evolution of local water courses and valley incision, and linked mostly with Pleistocene geomorphic evolution. Our analysis illustrates several common characteristics of caves: (1) they developed along or in close vicinity of deep faults/fault zones, commonly of regional importance; (2) the groundwater ascended due to deep faults/ fault systems mostly as results of deep regional circulation of meteoric waters …

Early Evidence Of San Material Culture Represented By Organic Artifacts From Border Cave, South Africa, Francesco D’Errico, Lucinda Backwell, Paola Villa
Early Evidence Of San Material Culture Represented By Organic Artifacts From Border Cave, South Africa, Francesco D’Errico, Lucinda Backwell, Paola Villa
KIP Articles
Recent archaeological discoveries have revealed that pigment use, beads, engravings, and sophisticated stone and bone tools were already present in southern Africa 75,000 y ago. Many of these artifacts disappeared by 60,000 y ago, suggesting that modern behavior appeared in the past and was subsequently lost before becoming firmly established. Most archaeologists think that San hunter–gatherer cultural adaptation emerged 20,000 y ago. However, reanalysis of organic artifacts from Border Cave, South Africa, shows that the Early Later Stone Age inhabitants of this cave used notched bones for notational purposes, wooden digging sticks, bone awls, and bone points similar to those …
Present And Potential Future Distribution Of Common Vampire Bats In The Americas And The Associated Risk To Cattle, Dana N. Lee, Monica Papeş, Ronald A. Van Den Bessche
Present And Potential Future Distribution Of Common Vampire Bats In The Americas And The Associated Risk To Cattle, Dana N. Lee, Monica Papeş, Ronald A. Van Den Bessche
KIP Articles
Success of the cattle industry in Latin America is impeded by the common vampire bat, Desmodus rotundus, through decreases in milk production and mass gain and increased risk of secondary infection and rabies. We used ecological niche modeling to predict the current potential distribution of D. rotundus and the future distribution of the species for the years 2030, 2050, and 2080 based on the A2, A1B, and B1 climate scenarios from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. We then combined the present day potential distribution with cattle density estimates to identify areas where cattle are at higher risk for the …

A New Approach To Model The Spatial And Temporal Variability Of Recharge To Karst Aquifers, A. Hartmann, J. Lange, M. Weiler
A New Approach To Model The Spatial And Temporal Variability Of Recharge To Karst Aquifers, A. Hartmann, J. Lange, M. Weiler
KIP Articles
In karst systems, near-surface dissolution of carbonate rock results in a high spatial and temporal variability of groundwater recharge. To adequately represent the dominating recharge processes in hydrological models is still a challenge, especially in data scarce regions. In this study, we developed a recharge model that is based on a conceptual model of the epikarst. It represents epikarst heterogeneity as a set of system property distributions to produce not only a single recharge time series, but a variety of time series representing the spatial recharge variability. We tested the new model with a unique set of spatially distributed flow …

Frequent Arousal From Hibernation Linked To Severity Of Infection And Mortality In Bats With White-Nose Syndrome, Deeann M. Reeder, Craig L. Frank, Gregory G. Turner
KIP Articles
White-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging infectious disease that has killed over 5.5 million hibernating bats, is named for the causative agent, a white fungus (Geomyces destructans (Gd)) that invades the skin of torpid bats. During hibernation, arousals to warm (euthermic) body temperatures are normal but deplete fat stores. Temperature-sensitive dataloggers were attached to the backs of 504 free-ranging little brown bats (Myotis lucifugus) in hibernacula located throughout the northeastern USA. Dataloggers were retrieved at the end of the hibernation season and complete profiles of skin temperature data were available from 83 bats, which were categorized as: (1) unaffected, (2) WNS-affected …

The Complex Origin Of Astyanax Cavefish, Joshua B. Gross
The Complex Origin Of Astyanax Cavefish, Joshua B. Gross
KIP Articles
Background The loss of phenotypic characters is a common feature of evolution. Cave organisms provide excellent models for investigating the underlying patterns and processes governing the evolutionary loss of phenotypic traits. The blind Mexican cavefish, Astyanax mexicanus, represents a particularly strong model for both developmental and genetic analyses as these fish can be raised in the laboratory and hybridized with conspecific surface form counterparts to produce large F2 pedigrees. As studies have begun to illuminate the genetic bases for trait evolution in these cavefish, it has become increasingly important to understand these phenotypic changes within the context of cavefish origins. …

On The Sound Related To Painted Caves And Rocks, Iégor Reznikoff
On The Sound Related To Painted Caves And Rocks, Iégor Reznikoff
KIP Articles
Caves have natural properties of resonance: some areas sound very good acoustically, the sound lasts for several seconds or produces multiple echoes, whereas other areas have a dull resonance or no resonance at all. In a painted cave, it is extremely interesting to compare the map of the most resonant locations with the map of the locations of the paintings: are there correlations between resonance and paintings? Many Palaeolithic caves in France and in the Ural mountains have been studied, and for most of them the answer was remarkably positive: in short, the more resonant the location, the more paintings …

Speleogenetic Effects Of Interaction Between Deeply Derived Fracture-Conduit Flow And Intrastratal Matrix Flow In Hypogene Karst Settings, A. Klimchouk, E. Tymokhina, G. Amelichev
Speleogenetic Effects Of Interaction Between Deeply Derived Fracture-Conduit Flow And Intrastratal Matrix Flow In Hypogene Karst Settings, A. Klimchouk, E. Tymokhina, G. Amelichev
KIP Articles
In carbonate rocks, especially in those with high primary porosity such as most Cenozoic carbonates, the interaction between deeply derived rising flow through sub-vertical fracture-controlled conduits and intrastratal matrix flow of shallower systems can invoke mixing corrosion and result in prominent speleogenetic effects. This paper outlines a conceptual model of such interaction and provides instructive field examples of relevant morphological effects from two different regions within the Prichernomorsky (north Black Sea) basin, where karst features are developed in lower Pliocene, Eocene and Paleocene limestones. In the Crimean fore-mountain region, extensive steep to vertical limestone scarps formed through recent exposure of …
Human Remains From The Pleistocene-Holocene Transition Of Southwest China Suggest A Complex Evolutionary History For East Asians, Darren Curnoe, Ji Xueping, Andy I. R. Herries
Human Remains From The Pleistocene-Holocene Transition Of Southwest China Suggest A Complex Evolutionary History For East Asians, Darren Curnoe, Ji Xueping, Andy I. R. Herries
KIP Articles
Background: Later Pleistocene human evolution in East Asia remains poorly understood owing to a scarcity of well described, reliably classified and accurately dated fossils. Southwest China has been identified from genetic research as a hotspot of human diversity, containing ancient mtDNA and Y-DNA lineages, and has yielded a number of human remains thought to derive from Pleistocene deposits. We have prepared, reconstructed, described and dated a new partial skull from a consolidated sediment block collected in 1979 from the site of Longlin Cave (Guangxi Province). We also undertook new excavations at Maludong (Yunnan Province) to clarify the stratigraphy and dating …
Organic Matter Of Fossil Origin In The Amberine Speleothems From El Soplao Cave (Cantabria, Northern Spain), F. Gázquez, J. M. Calaforra, F. Rull
Organic Matter Of Fossil Origin In The Amberine Speleothems From El Soplao Cave (Cantabria, Northern Spain), F. Gázquez, J. M. Calaforra, F. Rull
KIP Articles
Unusual amberine-coloured speleothems were recently found in El Soplao Cave (Cantabria, Spain). Chromophore elements such as Fe, Mn, Cd, Co or Ti were not present in significant quantities. Rather, our data show that their colour comes from leachates of fossilized organic material hosted in the carbonaceous Urgonian facies of the host rock. These leachates are related to the Cretaceous amber deposit that has been recently discovered in the vicinity of El Soplao Cave. The presence of humic and fulvic acids of fossil origin were confirmed by IR and Raman spectroscopic analysis of the carbonaceous strata and the speleothems. In addition, …

Woody vegetation, including ashe juniper (Juniperus ashei), has encroached on some areas in central Texas that were historically oak grassland savannah. Encroachment of woody vegetation is generally attributed to overgrazing and fire suppression. Removing the ashe juniper and allowing native grasses to reestablish in the area as a brush management conservation practice (hereinafter referred to as "brush management") might change the hydrology in the watershed. These hydrologic changes might include changes to surface-water runoff, evapotranspiration, or groundwater recharge. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Federal, State, and local partners, examined the hydrologic effects of brush management in two …
