ABSTRACT North American arvicoline rodents have long been considered to have high biogeographic, biochronologic, and paleoecological value. They provide relative dating of faunal assemblages when absolute dating is not possible and contribute to paleobiome characterization.

Ten simple rules to follow when cleaning occurrence data in palaeobiology
Abstract Large datasets of fossil occurrences, often downloaded from online community‐maintained databases, are a vital resource for understanding broad‐scale evolutionary patterns, such as how biodiversity has changed through time and space. Such datasets, however, are not infallible and must be ‘cleaned’ of inaccurate, incomplete, or duplicate data ...

Abstract Anoplotheriines (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) were enigmatic, medium‐ to large‐sized ungulates that lived in Western Europe from the late middle Eocene to the earliest Oligocene. The unusual dental and postcranial specializations of these Paleogene mammals have no equivalent in other Cenozoic or contemporaneous artiodactyls on Holarctic landmasses.

Abstract The early Eocene Climatic Optimum (EECO; ∼53–49 Ma) was the warmest sustained global warming episode of the Cenozoic, accompanied by major alterations in terrestrial and marine biota. Here we detail changes in low‐latitude calcareous nannofossil assemblages at two tropical sites in the equatorial Atlantic (ODP Site 1258) and Pacific (ODP Site ...

Remarks on the type locality and current status of the foraminiferal species Rzehakina epigona (Rzehak, 1895) [PDF]
A likely topotype locality is proposed for Rzehakina epigona. As the type specimen of Silicina epigona Rzehak, 1895 is assumed to be lost, we undertook a search for new material in the type area, Zdounky village in Moravia. A single locality provided a

Restructuring of the "Macaronesia" biogeografic unit: a marine multi-taxon biogeographical approach [PDF]
The Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, Canary Islands and Cabo Verde are commonly united under the term “Macaronesia”. This study investigates the coherency and validity of Macaronesia as a biogeographic unit using six marine groups with very different ...

The Earliest Known Radiation of Pitheciine Primates
Right mandible and dentition of the holotype of Soriacebus ameghinorum (MACN Pv SC2), from the Early Miocene of Patagonia, compared with the living Cacajao calvus (FMNH 88813, cast), both representing extinct and extant morphologies of the Pitheciinae: Procumbent and styliform incisors and projecting canines represent a morphological complex for ...
