Species identification of Australian marsupials using collagen fingerprinting by Carli Peters, Kristine K. Richter, Tiina Manne, Joe Dortch, Alistair Paterson, Kenny Travouillon, Julien Louys, Gilbert J. Price, Michael Petraglia, Alison Crowther, Nicole Boivin

“…We demonstrate the utility of these new peptide markers by using them to taxonomically identify bone fragments from a nineteenth-century colonial-era pearlshell fishery at Bandicoot Bay, Barrow Island. The suite of peptide biomarkers presented in this study, which focus on a range of ecologically and culturally important species, have the potential to significantly amplify the zooarchaeological and paleontological record of Australia.…”

Microbial communities inhabiting shallow hydrothermal vents as sentinels of acidification processes by Erika Arcadi, Carmen Rizzo, Carmen Rizzo, Rosario Calogero, Valentina Sciutteri, Francesco Fabiano, Pierpaolo Consoli, Franco Andaloro, Teresa Romeo, Teresa Romeo

“…IntroductionShallow hydrothermal vents are considered natural laboratories to study the effects of acidification on biota, due to the consistent CO2 emissions with a consequent decrease in the local pH.MethodsHere the microbial communities of water and sediment samples from Levante Bay (Vulcano Island) with different pH and redox conditions were explored by Next Generation Sequencing techniques. …”
