A new modeling study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, suggests that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet may be more resilient to extreme long-term warming than previously estimated. Increased […]
Admixture from other hominin groups such as Neanderthals and Denisovans has played an important role in shaping the genetic diversity among human populations. Meanwhile, genomic characterization of present-day human populations […]
Phytoplankton form the foundation of the marine food web and play a central role in the global carbon cycle. Their diverse morphological, genetic, physiological, and ecological traits contribute to the […]
Extreme climate events pose an increasing threat to natural and human ecosystems, especially when they co-occur, amplifying the effect of stand-alone events. In this seminar, insights regarding the compound occurrence […]
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is an obligate hematophagous ectoparasite of vertebrate hosts, including humans. As a vector of diverse pathogens, including severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), […]
For decades, the “obstetrical dilemma” hypothesis has been the standard explanation for the shape of the human pelvis, suggesting it is a compromise between the need to give birth to […]
The talk “Primary Dispersal of Humans, Climate Change, and Megamammal Extinctions in the Americas at the End of the Pleistocene” will address what could be considered the first event of the Anthropocene: the widespread extinction […]
In the first part of the talk, I’ll give an overview of the current knowledge of tropical cyclones (TCs) trends. I’ll discuss recent trends of TC frequency in the last […]
