Tasks performed by different groups of foragers and regulation of foraging activity in the Mediterranean harvest ant Messor wasmanni (Hymenoptera, Formicidae)

The moment-to-moment tasks performed by an individual can change in response to a shift of internal, e.g. body size or age, and external conditions, e.g. the number of workers currently engaged in another task. For this reason, the term task allocation is replacing the earlier...

Large mammal remains from the early pleistocene site of Podere San Lorenzo (Perugia, Central Italy)

Most of the research on fossil mammals from Umbria (central Italy) has been carried out in the southwestern branch of the Tiber basin, due to its paleontological richness. This portion of the basin extends from Perugia to Terni and corresponds to a well-defined half-graben fil...

Advances in virtual archaeology. Research, preservation, and dissemination

The archaeological and palaeontological record (including human skeletal remains) often bears crack, damage and deformations. The recent rapid development of the diagnostic potentials of “virtual archaeology” has provided innovative tools to manage, study and preserve cultural and natural heritage. Th...

Maxillary sinus growth and development in Neanderthals and H. sapiens

We investigate and compare facial and maxillary sinus ontogeny among Neanderthals and H. sapiens to understand the extent of any differences and to investigate if these might arise through differences in developmental interactions. 3D facial and sinus landmarks were acquired from virtual...

The facial ontogeny of Neanderthals and H. sapiens

While morphological differences between H. sapiens , i.e. Anatomically Modern Humans, and Neanderthals are well known in adults, it is much less clear when and how they arise during ontogeny [1, 2, 3, 4]. While most workers agree that major aspects of their differences are...
