Reconstruction of early Neolithic/Bronze Age population diversity in the Shamanka II cemetery at Lake Baikal using mtDNA polymorphism
Mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) polymorphisms were examinedin bone samples of individuals buried inan early Neolithic (c. 5800–4900 BCE) hunter-gatherer cemetery, Shamanka II, located atthe southwestern tip of Lake Baikal, Siberia. The mainobjective was to compare the mtDNA polymorphisms observed at Shamanka II to those previously reportedfrom the Lokomotiv (early Neolithic) and Ust...
متن کاملPredicting Species’ Vulnerability in a Massively Perturbed System: The Fishes of Lake Turkana, Kenya
BACKGROUND AND TROPHIC DIVERSITY STUDY Lake Turkana is an understudied desert lake shared by Kenya and Ethiopia. This system is at the precipice of large-scale changes in ecological function due to climate change and economic development along its major inflowing river, the Omo River. To anticipate response by the fish community to these changes, we quantified trophic diversity for seven ecolog...

متن کاملStratigraphic interpretation of the omo shungura and lake turkana fossil suid record.
White and Harris (1) have presented a comparative temporal ordering of African Plio-Pleistocene hominid sites based on suid evolutionary stages. We take exception here to one of the "refinement[s] of stratigraphic interpretations" (1, p. 13) in the Shungura Formation (Omo) and comment on certain stratigraphic aspects of the area east of Lake Turkana. White and Harris (1, p. 17) state that a "fa...
متن کاملA multi-source satellite data approach for modelling Lake Turkana water level: calibration and validation using satellite altimetry data
Lake Turkana is one of the largest desert lakes in the world and is characterized by high degrees of interand intra-annual fluctuations. The hydrology and water balance of this lake have not been well understood due to its remote location and unavailability of reliable ground truth datasets. Managing surface water resources is a great challenge in areas where in-situ data are either limited or ...
