Dietary ecology of Smilodon across time and space: Additional perspectives from Smilodon gracilis and Smilodon fatalis in Florida

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3041-3052, November 2025.
Dental microwear texture analysis of Smilodon samples from Florida's Pleistocene reveals moderate carcass utilization (like modern African lions) across space and time, with more subtle dietary shifts in response to fluctuating climates. Abstract Smilodon, the iconic saber‐toothed cat, was a Pleistocene apex predator comprised of three morphologically ...

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3022-3040, November 2025.
Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

Commentary: What's so interesting about sabertooths?

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2825-2830, November 2025.
Abstract Sabertooth creatures are fascinating to the public and to scientists. This Special Issue on The Anatomy of Sabertooths starts with a discussion of what exactly a sabertooth is, continues with a couple of papers about other animals with extraordinarily long teeth, and then delves into analyses of fossil sabertoothed taxa—some of which are not ...

Impacts of Pleistocene extinctions on the biomass and energy use of local mammal assemblages around the world

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.
Many of the world's megafaunal species went extinct during the late Quaternary, leading to dramatic reductions in community and ecosystem functioning. While the nature and severity of the extinctions are well documented on global and continental scales, less is known about local‐scale impacts.
