Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is little information about the changes in the abundance of mammalian species in South America during the late Quaternary, which is a key parameter to understanding past ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Here, we describe a conspicuous increase in the abundance of the gray brocket deer (Subulo gouazoubira G.

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Florisian Land Mammal Age (FLMA; 773‐12 ka) is characterised by specialist, often extinct, grazing as well as wetland species, many of which are no longer present in the southern African interior. Middle Pleistocene FLMA faunal assemblages are rare, particularly those associated with artefacts, limiting reconstruction of environmental ...

A new genus and species of sabretooth, Oriensmilus liupanensis (Barbourofelinae, Nimravidae, Carnivora), from the middle Miocene of China suggests barbourofelines are nimravids, not felids [PDF]
, 2020 Since the early 2000s, a revival of a felid relationship for barbourofeline sabretooths has become popular due to recent discoveries of fragmentary fossils from Africa.

Wallacean mammalogy and zooarchaeology: remembrances and a renaissance
Records of the Australian Museum, 2023 [Excerpt] The richness of life is not distributed haphazardly across the globe, but instead exhibits profound, non-random patterns. Numbers of species of insects, trees, and frogs, for example, abound in tropical localities, like in Brazil or the Congo ...

, 1975 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) The approximate limits of the region of sympatric occurrence of the West African fruit bats Epomops franqueti (Tomes, 1860) and Epomops buettikoferi (Matschie, 1899) are discussed. Series of the two species from that region are compared and a key is given to identify adult specimens. Notes are added on

A new Megatheriinae skull (Xenarthra, Tardigrada) from the pliocene of northern venezuela – Implications for a giant sloth dispersal to central and North America [PDF]
, 2018 A skull of a ground sloth from the Pliocene San Gregorio Formation documents a northern neotropical occurrence of a megatheriine that addresses issues on intraspecific variation and biogeography. The new specimen is broadly similar in size and morphology

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.We investigated the quantity and diversity of animal–visitor interactions in BIAZA‐accredited facilities, finding 740 opportunities for interactions across a range of contexts including walkthroughs and handling. Meet and greets were the most offered and were influenced by the number of individual animals, cost of interaction, and animal popularity ...
