The metapodials of ancient bison (Bison priscus Boj.) of North-Eastern Russia: "stress markers", sex and withers height
Integrative Zoology. 2019. Vol. 14. No. 3. P. 270–279.
Kirillova I. V., Shidlovsky F. K., Zinoviev A.
A total of 175 metapodials (MP) of Pleistocene and early Holocene bison (Bison priscus Boj.) from the vast area of northeast Russia were studied. MP were attributed to males and females both visually and statistically. Data on the withers height of bison from northeast Russia are provided. Stress markers were recorded, including so-called "buttresses." With rare exceptions, stress markers were not of a pathological nature. The origin and development of the buttresses are age-related; their prevalence in bison females can be considered as the response to an increased load during pregnancy. Changes in the periosteum, found in males, are related to their greater activity. Buttresses are also well developed on metatarsals of the red deer and the elk; they are less developed in reindeer and not found in giant deer. A relationship among stress markers, locomotion and the environment is established. Possible peculiarities of the Rauchua River bison locomotion are discussed.

Late Pleistocene transformation of European glacial landscapes is often narrowed down to the impact of
postglacial linear erosion. Yet in the marginal zone of MIS 6 glaciation extensive watersheds were protractedly
affected by the postglacial flattening in periglacial and interglacial conditions. Local sediment sinks such
as kettle holes and dry valleys infilled throughout the postglacial stage can serve ...

For decades the northeastern slope of the Borisoglebsk Upland has been a focal point for natural scientists interested in geochronology and Quaternary environmental reconstructions. A key reference section of the Upper Volga River region is a set of geological cores, exposures and excavations on the sides of the Puzhbol Gully system. The ORV section (Eastern ...

The Kostenki-Borshevo archaeological complex, located on the right bank of the Don Valley, is the largest cluster of Upper Paleolithic sites in Eastern Europe. Despite extensive research, many paleoecological issues related to these sites remain unresolved, particularly those concerning the history of their surface and pedogenic processes. In this study, we focus on the topography ...

At the southernmost range of mantle loams distribution, so-called loess islands (Makeev, 2012) show some resemblance to the profound loess-paleosol sequences of the extra-glacial areas (Velichko, 1990). They commonly occupy relative topographic highs that inherit pre-Quaternary erosional uplands capped with thin glacial tills (Fig. G). In contrast, surrounding lower-lying outwash plains are majorly devoid of ...

Detailed analysis of the E Borisoglebsk Upland suggests that most of the surface drift materials initially interpreted as polygenetic mantle loams were likely formed by continuous postglacial lacustrine deposition. Major arguments for such genetic interpretation are the dominance of fine-grained fractions; clear and texturally contrast multiscale lamination (up to five levels of laminae thickness); mottled ...

This issue considers new and only partially previously published data on the Late Pleistocene landscapes and deposits of the Moscow glaciation marginal zone, which has experienced dynamic periglacial conditions during the Valdai epoch. The manuscript is arranged as a guidebook for the Valdai Perglacial Field Symposium, which was held on 27–30 August 2023 embracing the ...

The paper presents a reconstruction of geomorphological processes in the Central Kamchatka Depression (CKD) since 30 ka, including the global LGM time. Major geomorphological processes of this period included the evolution of volcanic edifices accompanied by steady tectonic submergence. Glaciers that originatedfrom volcanic edifices were greatly affected by both climatic forcing and the eruptive history ...

История раннесреднеплейстоценовых фаун мелких млекопитающих Восточной Европы очень сложна. Ранний средний плейстоцен, охватывающий период от перехода Брюнес-Матуяма (772,9 тыс. л.н., в пределах МИС 19) до начала лихвинского межледниковья (424 тыс. л.н., МИС 11), включает ряд межледниковий и оледенений. Виды грызунов тираспольского фаунистического комплекса обнаружены в речных чаудских отложениях разреза мыса Пекла (северное побережье Таманского полуострова). ...

Ice-rich permafrost in the circum-Arctic and sub-Arctic (hereafter pan-Arctic), such as late Pleistocene Yedoma, are especially prone to degradation due to climate change or human activity. When Yedoma deposits thaw, large amounts of frozen organic matter and biogeochemically relevant elements return into current biogeochemical cycles. This mobilization of elements has local and global implications: increased ...

Partial reconstruction of hindlimb myology and syndesmology of Hesperornis regalis, based on fossil and extant comparative anatomical material, is provided. Possessing a combination of morphological features characteristic of modern loons and grebes, H. regalis was somewhat closer to loons in overall hindlimb anatomy. The acetabular foramen indicates that the femoral head of Hesperornis had a more restricted excursion in the ...
