Human (Clovis)-gomphothere (Cuvieronius sp.) association ∼ 13,390 calibrated yBP in Sonora, Mexico. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2014 SignificanceArchaeological evidence from Sonora, Mexico, indicates that the earliest widespread and recognizable group of hunter-gatherers (“Clovis”) were in place ∼13,390 y ago in southwestern North America. This is the earliest well-documented population on the continent and suggests that the unique Clovis artifact style originated in the southwest ...

Feeding habits and habitat of herbivorous mammals from the Early–Late Hemphillian (Miocene) of Costa Rica [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2018 Carbon and oxygen stable isotope values in the dental enamel of fossils were used to infer the diet and habitat of the extinct equids Calippus hondurensis, Dinohippus mexicanus, and Protohippus gidleyi, the gomphothere Gomphotherium hondurensis, and the ...

A grazing Gomphotherium in Middle Miocene Central Asia, 10 million years prior to the origin of the Elephantidae. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2018 Feeding preference of fossil herbivorous mammals, concerning the coevolution of mammalian and floral ecosystems, has become of key research interest. In this paper, phytoliths in dental calculus from two gomphotheriid proboscideans of the middle Miocene ...

A molecular phylogeny of the extinct South American gomphothere through collagen sequence analysis
Journal of Palaeogeography, 2019 Gomphotheriid proboscideans reached South America as Late Cenozoic immigrants from North America. However, disagreements over alpha taxonomy, age dating and phylogenetic relationships have produced three competing hypotheses about this immigration: (1) a single gomphothere immigration took place soon after the ~3 Ma closure of the Panamanian isthmus ...

Gomphothere proboscidean (Gomphotherium) from the late Neogene of Panama [PDF]
Journal of Paleontology, 2015 . The proboscidean Gomphotherium is reported here from the Alajuela Formation of Panama. Gomphotherium was widespread throughout Holarctica during the Miocene, and the Panama fossil represents the extreme southernmost occurrence of this genus in the ...

Trace element analyses indicative of paleodiets in Middle Miocene mammals from the Somosaguas site (Madrid, Spain) [PDF]
Geologica Acta, 2012 Trace element analysis of fossil bone and enamel constitutes a useful tool to characterize the paleoecological behavior of mammals. Up to now, most trace element studies have focused on Plio-Pleistocene fossils.

Late Pleistocene horse and camel hunting at the southern margin of the ice-free corridor: reassessing the age of Wally's Beach, Canada. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2015 The only certain evidence for prehistoric human hunting of horse and camel in North America occurs at the Wally’s Beach site, Canada. Here, the butchered remains of seven horses and one camel are associated with 29 nondiagnostic lithic artifacts.

Addressing regional relationships between white-tailed deer densities and land classes. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 At regional scales, deer occurred at greater densities in forests and lower densities in agricultural and residential development, which did not improve habitat by supporting more deer. Deer preference for forests does result in damage to forest products.
