Cave bear occupation in Schwabenreith Cave, Austria, during the early last glacial: constraints from 230 Th/U‐dated speleothemsNARA Subscribed
The cave bear was a prominent member of the Upper Pleistocene fauna in Eurasia. While breakthroughs were recently achieved with respect to its phylogeny using ancient DNA techniques, it is still challenging to date cave bear fossils beyond the radiocarbon age range. Without an accurate and precise chronological framework, however, key questions regarding the palaeoecology cannot be addressed, such as the extent to which large...
Tischoferhöhle and Pendling‐Bärenhöhle near Kufstein, Tyrol, are among the only locations where remains of cave bear, Ursus spelaeus ‐group, were found in the western part of Austria. One sample from each site was radiocarbon‐dated four decades ago to ca. 28 14 C ka BP. Here we report that attempts to date additional samples from Pendling‐Bärenhöhle have failed due to the lack of collagen, casting doubts on the validity of the...
A new radiocarbon chronology of Baumkirchen, stratotype for the onset of the Upper Würmian in the AlpsNARA Subscribed
The start of the Upper Würmian in the Alps was marked by massive fluvioglacial aggradation prior to the arrival of the Central Alpine glaciers. In 1984, the Subcommission on European Quaternary Stratigraphy defined the clay pit of Baumkirchen (in the foreland of the Inn Valley, Austria) as the stratotype for the Middle to Upper Würmian boundary in the Alps. Key for the selection of this site was its radiocarbon chronology, whi...
The recent description of the fifth Jamaican crab species from freshwater streams, Sesarma ayatum Schubart, Reimer & Diesel 1998, suffered from two typesetting errors. Since these errors affect the interpretation and reading of the most important characters that distinguish this species from its closest relative, Sesarma bidentatum Benedict (1892) (gonopodal morphology and 16S mtDNA sequence), we here present a corrected versi...
Recent morphological studies have shown that the Jamaican mountain stream crab, Sesarma bidentatum Benedict, 1892 (Sensu Abele 1992), consists of several allopatric forms. Three new species have been described from western Jamaica (summarized in Reimer et al. 1998) restricting the range of S. bidentatum to central and eastern Jamaica. In this study we used morphology and genetic markers to further distinguish crab populations...
