The paper analyzes extinct ibex population ecology and demographics using multidisciplinary methods on teeth from Riparo Dalmeri, revealing local origins, sex-specific diets, and seasonality changes.

This study analyzes first deciduous molar growth patterns in an Italian medieval population using histological and proteomic methods, finding homogeneous daily secretion rates but differences in crown formation times between dental arches.

The paper presents genomic data from a Late Epigravettian individual in Italy dated to 16,980-16,510 cal BP, showing genetic replacement associated with the emergence of Late Epigravettian culture, pushing back the spread of a Balkan/Anatolian genetic component by 3,000 years.
