Siwalik sabrecats: review and revised diagnosis of fossils from the foothills of the Himalaya.

The diagnosis of different fossil taxa in small collections from disparate geographical and temporal contexts is a common challenge in palaeontology. The likely number of morphospecies of the extinct sabretooth cat is a classic example and subject of long-standing debate. While analyses of global fossil collections have provided insights and hypotheses, specimens from the foothills of the Himalaya-the Siwaliks-have been overlooked in recent treatments due to poor characterization and a confused taxonomic history.

Prehistoric pathways to Anthropocene adaptation: Evidence from the Red River Delta, Vietnam.

Over the past twenty years, government advisory bodies have placed increasing emphasis on the need for adaptive measures in response to the effects of human-induced climate change. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs), which incorporate macroeconomic and climate variables, feature prominently in advisory content, though they rarely draw on data from outside strictly constrained hypothetical systems. This has led to assertions that they are not well-suited to approximate complex systemic human-environment processes.
