Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Avifaunal relationships between the Neotropical and Ethiopian regions
El Hornero, 1965 Excluding Holarctic migrants, there are 14 species of land and freshwater birds common to the Neotropical and Ethiopian regions, all non-passerines and all but four are species that have invaded these regions from the north.
