5. 4. 20,000 14C Years of Climate and Environmental Change in Europe : A Coleopteran-based Reconstruction with an Anthropocenic Focus

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Miljöarkeologiska laboratoriet

   Author : Misha Enayat; [2015]
   Keywords : archaeology; beetle; Anthropocene; climate; coleoptera; coleopteran; Bugs; BugsCEP; Vera Hypothesis; Holocene; database; Quaternary; entomology;

   Abstract : This thesis builds on the work of previous coleopteran-based climatic reconstructions to recreate the environment and climate of the last 20,000 14C years of northwest Europe using the data and methods available within the Bugs Coleopteran Ecology Package, and aims to assess the ability of the BugsCEP results to provide information regarding events and anthropogenic changes on environment during the Anthropocene. Samples and data from 134 sites across northwest Europe and the British Isles were included in this study. READ MORE

6. 5. Ground-living predators of the apple fruit moth Argyresthia conjugella (Zell.)
