Climatic Niche Differentiation Accompanied the Radiation of Leaf‐Eared Mice in the Phyllotis darwini Species Group (Sigmodontinae, Cricetidae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To characterise the evolution of climatic niches during the diversification of the Phyllotis darwini species group, in order to assess the extent to which divergences involved in radiation were associated with patterns of conservatism or divergence of climatic niches, and whether the differentiation found among climatic niches correlated ...

Clarifying the Labrisomus Conundrum: Deep Divergence, Cryptic Lineages, and a Genetic Melting Pot in the Atlantic Ocean (Teleostei, Labrisomidae)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluate the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomic validity of Atlantic species of Labrisomus, identifying the lineages currently assigned to L. nuchipinnis, and assessing the role of biogeographic barriers in shaping the evolutionary history and geographic distribution of the genus. Location Atlantic Ocean.

Hominin locomotion and evolution in the Late Miocene to Late Pliocene

Journal of Human Evolution, 2023
In this review, we present on the evolution of the locomotor adaptation of hominins in the Late Miocene to Late Pliocene, with emphasis on some of the prominent advances and debates that have occurred over the past fifty years. We start with the challenging issue of defining hominin locomotor grades that are currently used liberally and offer our own ...

The earliest hylobatid from the Late Miocene of China

Journal of Human Evolution, 2022
Yuanmoupithecus xiaoyuan, a small catarrhine from the Late Miocene of Yunnan in southern China, was initially suggested to be related to Miocene proconsuloids or dendropithecoids from East Africa, but subsequent reports indicated that it might be more closely related to hylobatids.

Phylogenetic analysis of Middle-Late Miocene apes

Journal of Human Evolution, 2022
Despite intensive study, many aspects of the evolutionary history of great apes and humans (Hominidae) are not well understood. In particular, the phylogenetic relationships of many fossil taxa remain poorly resolved. This study aims to provide an updated hypothesis of phylogenetic relationships for Middle-Late Miocene fossil apes, focusing on those ...

On late miocene abyssal hydrography

Marine Micropaleontology, 1981
Abstract This contribution is a summary of our studies on late Miocene isotope stratigraphy. We interpret the results using simple models and present additional evidence that the δ 13 C shift at 6.2 Ma was a time-stratigraphic event. The average deep-water metabolic CO 2 and nutrient content remained unchanged across the δ 13 C shift, but the net ...

A Lakeland Area in the Late Miocene

2011
Fossil plants recovered from the Late Miocene (Messinian) Hreðavatn-Stafholt Formation grew in a landscape dominated by lakes of different sizes that were connected by small rivers and swampland. Well-drained areas bordering these wetlands were covered by mixed broadleaved deciduous and conifer forests dominated by Pinaceae, Rosaceae, and Acer.

Postcranial evidence of late Miocene hominin bipedalism in Chad

Nature, 2022
Bipedal locomotion is one of the key adaptations that define the hominin clade. Evidence of bipedalism is known from postcranial remains of late Miocene hominins as early as 6 million years ago (Ma) in eastern Africa1-4. Bipedality of Sahelanthropus tchadensis was hitherto inferred about 7 Ma in central Africa (Chad) based on cranial evidence5-7.
