Birds in medieval Norway
Walker, Samuel James; Hufthammer, Anne Karin; Meijer, Hanneke (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Whilst modern avian distributions in Scandinavia are well studied, how past events and processes have shaped modern bird communities in the region remains poorly known. This is mainly due to the fact that work on post-glacial ... -
Characterization of bone surface modifications on an Early to Middle Pleistocene bird assemblage from Mata Menge (Flores, Indonesia) using multifocus and confocal microscopy
Meijer, Hanneke; d'Errico, Francesco; Queffelec, Alain; Kurniawan, Iwan; Setiabudi, Erick; Sutisna, Indra; Brumm, Adam; Van Den Bergh, Gerrit D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-01)Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) is a key region for the study of human evolution. New fossil and archaeological evidence, from several islands, suggests an Early to Middle Pleistocene colonisation date by hominins. A taphonomic ... -
First record of avian extinctions from the Late Pleistocene and Holocene of Timor Leste
Meijer, Hanneke; Louys, Julien; O'Connor, Sue (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Timor has yielded the earliest evidence for modern humans in Wallacea, but despite its long history of modern human occupation, there is little evidence for human-induced Late Pleistocene extinctions. Here, we report on ... -
Late Pleistocene songbirds of Liang Bua (Flores, Indonesia); the first fossil passerine fauna described from Wallacea
Meijer, Hanneke; Due, Rokus Awe; Sutikna, Thomas; Saptomo, Wahyu; Jatmiko, Jatmiko; Wasisto, Sri; Tocheri, Matthew W.; Mayr, Gerald (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-08-17)Background: Passerines (Aves: Passeriformes) dominate modern terrestrial bird communities yet their fossil record is limited. Liang Bua is a large cave on the Indonesian island of Flores that preserves Late Pleistocene–Holocene ... -
Palaeoproteomics of fossil bird bones for taxonomic classification
Horn, Ivo R.; Kenens, Y.; Palmblad, Magnus; van der Plas-Duivesteijn, Suzanne J; Langeveld, Bram W.; Dalebout, Hans; Meijer, Hanneke; Marissen, Rob J.; Fischer, Anja; Florens, F.B. Vincent; Niemann, Jonas; Rijsdijk, Kenneth F.; Schulp, Anne S.; Laros, Jeroen F.J.; Gravendeel, Barbara (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)We used proteomic profiling to taxonomically classify extinct, alongside extant bird species using mass spectrometry on ancient bone-derived collagen chains COL1A1 and COL1A2. Proteins of Holocene and Late Pleistocene-aged ... -
Size variation in mid-Holocene North Atlantic Puffins indicates a dynamic response to climate change
Walker, Samuel James; Meijer, Hanneke (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-24)Seabirds are one of the most at-risk groups, with many species in decline. In Scandinavia, seabirds are at a heightened risk of extinction due to accelerated global warming. Norway is home to significant portion of the ...
