Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract Predictions for the southwestern US with warming often suggest increased aridity. We investigate the sedimentary record of the Miocene Climate Optimum and Transition (MCO and MCT; ∼17–14 Ma) in northern New Mexico to understand the impact of warmer global temperatures and higher pCO2 on southwestern US hydroclimate. The MCO and MCT comprised a

Diversity of limb long bone morphology among proboscideans: how to be the biggest one in the family
Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 6, November/December 2024.Abstract From its first small representatives to its later giant species, the Order Proboscidea evolved increasingly large forms. Limb long bones are heavily affected by shifts in body mass, and this is especially true in proboscideans, in which an increase in body mass is associated with a reorientation of the limb into the parasagittal plane ...

Fossil proboscidean remains from Bolt's Farm and other Transvaal cave breccias [PDF]
, 1993 Proboscidean remains are very rare in the Transvaal cave breccias and the few specimens recovered are generally fragmentary but deserve description because of their potential value in correlation and dating.

Megafauna extinction, tree species range reduction, and carbon storage in Amazonian forests [PDF]
, 2016 During the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene 59 species of South American megafauna went extinct. Their extinction potentially triggered population declines of large-seeded tree species dispersed by the large-bodied frugivores with which they co ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 691-709, July 2024.ABSTRACT In this study, we focused on the Pliocene–Early Pleistocene fluvial terraces in the Velenje Basin and reconstructed the morphostratigraphy, sedimentary depositional environment, provenance and age of the gravel deposits using geomorphological, sedimentological, petrographic and chronological analyses.

Contexts, Connections, and Clovis: Opportunities for Collaboration Between Information Scientists and Archaeologists [PDF]
, 2018 Our poster discusses the potential for collaboration between information scientists and archaeologists. In particular, this poster uses a case study of Clovis spear points to illustrate the importance of collaboration between the two disciplines in order

Dispersal‐related plant traits are associated with range size in the Atlantic Forest
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Aim The efficiency of animal‐mediated seed dispersal is threatened by the decline of animal populations, especially in tropical forests. We hypothesise that large‐seeded plants with animal‐mediated dispersal tend to have limited geographic ranges and face an increased risk of extinction due to the potential decline in seed dispersal by large ...

The Late Miocene Gomphothere Amahuacatherium peruvium (Proboscidea: Gomphotheriidae) from Amazonian Peru: Implications for the great american faunal interchange - [Boletín D 23] [PDF]
, 2000 Se presentan en detalle los caracteres osteológicos del proboscideo Amahuacatherium peruvium (Proboscidea: Gomphotheriidae). Este proboscideo fue recuperado de los depósitos del Mioceno (Chasicoan) expuestos a lo largo del río Madre de Dios en las ...
