Feeding ecology of the gomphotheres (Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae) of America
Quaternary Science Reviews, 2020 Based on data from analyses on previously-reported carbon stable isotope data from dental enamel and dentine from tusks reported in the literature, diets were inferred for the gomphothere genera Amebelodon, Cuvieronius, Gomphotherium, Rhynchotherium, Serbelodon, and Stegomastodon (Proboscidea, Gomphotheriidae) that inhabited the Americas during the ...

Anthropogenic seed dispersal: rethinking the origins of plant domestication
, 2020 It is well documented that ancient sickle harvesting led to tough rachises, but the other seed dispersal properties in crop progenitors are rarely discussed. The first steps toward domestication are evolutionary responses for the recruitment of humans as

Huge Miocene Crocodilians From Western Europe: Predation, Comparisons with the “False Gharial” and Size [PDF]
, 2019 As shown here on the basis of bitten teeth, the diet of the huge, lower to early upper Miocene Tomistoma lusitanica included some of the largest contemporaneous, terrestrial mammals, including adult or senile gomphotheres (Gomphotherium angustidens). One

Paleobiology, 2004 To reconstruct the paleodiet and habitat preference of gomphotheres, we measured the carbon and oxygen isotope composition of 68 bone and tooth samples for three species of Gomphotheriidae from 24 different localities (Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Brazil).

MioVeg1: A Global Middle Miocene Vegetation Reconstruction for Climate Modeling
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 11, November 2025.Abstract Climate models require boundary condition information, such as vegetation and soil distributions because they influence the mean state climate, and feedbacks can significantly influence regional climate and climate sensitivity to CO2 forcing.
