On the Supposed Presence of Miocene Tayassuidae and Dromomerycinae (Mammalia, Cetartiodactyla) in South America [PDF]
, 2021 The earliest record of North American mammals in South America is significant for constraining the timing of intercontinental faunal interchange. At present, the oldest securely dated remains of a North American terrestrial mammal in South America ...

Revisiting proboscidean phylogeny and evolution through total evidence and palaeogenetic analyses including Notiomastodon ancient DNA [PDF]
, 2021 The extinct Gomphotheriidae is the only proboscidean family that colonized South America. The phylogenetic position of the endemic taxa has been through several revisions using morphological comparisons. Morphological studies are enhanced by paleogenetic

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 595-612, September 2024.Key Points Accurate 87Sr/86Sr measurement by LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS requires an appraisal of 87Rb/85Rb instrument induced fractionation, βRb. βRb can be calculated from the analysis of shark dentin with known 87Sr/86Sr composition and applied to unknown samples. Highly accurate 87Sr/86Sr isotope ratios were obtained from modern and fossil bioapatite samples.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...

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 ...
