Multi-isotope analysis reconstructs termite feeding in chimpanzees
Scientific ReportsMulti-isotope analyses of extant and extinct animals provide key insights into dietary ecology. Here, we examined mineral-bound nitrogen isotopes alongside carbonate carbon and oxygen stable isotope ratios in tooth enamel from sympatric chimpanzees ...

Ecology of a widespread large omnivore, Homo sapiens, and its impacts on ecosystem processes
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Discussions of defaunation and taxon substitution have concentrated on megafaunal herbivores and carnivores, but mainly overlooked the particular ecological importance of megafaunal omnivores. In particular, the Homo spp.

Fossil skulls reveal that blood flow rate to the brain increased faster than brain volume during human evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The evolution of human cognition has been inferred from anthropological discoveries and estimates of brain size from fossil skulls. A more direct measure of cognition would be cerebral metabolic rate, which is proportional to cerebral blood flow rate ...
