DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2019.02.010
Abstract: Humans and their associated anthropogenic factors may strongly affect the demographics, activity and fragmentation of wild animal populations. Yet, the degree and nature of such impact on indicators of animals' social relationships remain largely under-investigated,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107659
Abstract: Abstract Rivers are dynamic landscape features which are often altered by human activity, making it difficult to disentangle human impact on geomorphic change from natural river dynamics. This study evaluated the human impact on river… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quaint.2018.02.029
Abstract: Abstract This study is based on the reassessment and correlation of five pollen records from the upper Western Dvina River region. For the most complete record (Korovinskoe Mire; 56°16′N, 31°20′E) we constructed a Bayesian age-depth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.quascirev.2020.106291
Abstract: Abstract Anthropogenic pollen indicators in pollen records are an established tool for reconstructing the history of human impacts on vegetation and landscapes. They are also used to disentangle the influence of human activities and climatic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2025gl114695
Abstract: Human activities have profoundly modified the fluxes in the global sediment cycle. However, the anthropogenic forcing on soil erosion beyond instrumental records or historical documentation is largely unknown. Here we analyze markers for low‐intensity fires… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s42003-021-02620-1
Abstract: Quaternary climatic changes have been invoked as important drivers of species diversification worldwide. However, the impact of such changes on vegetation and animal population dynamics in tropical regions remains debated. To overcome this uncertainty, we… read more here.
