Although ecometric methods have been used to analyse fossil mammal faunas and environments of Eurasia and North America, such methods have not yet been applied to the rich fossil mammal record of eastern Africa. Here we ...
Prediction of offspring in extant and extinct mammals to add light on paleoecology and evolution
(Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Reproductive strategies can be inferred from adult body mass, although offspring characteristics can give more accurate tools to predict life histories. In fossil mammals, adult body mass estimation incorporates error to ...
Cranial characters associated with the proboscis postnatal-development in Tapirus (Perissodactyla: Tapiridae) and comparisons with other extant and fossil hoofed mammals
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2018-11)
Among extant hoofed mammals, only elephants and tapirs exhibit a true proboscis. We investigated the development of cranial characters potentially associated with the presence of a short proboscis in tapir species, following ...
Fossil pollen records reveal a late rise of open-habitat ecosystems in Patagonia
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012-12)
The timing of major turnovers in terrestrial ecosystems of the Cenozoic Era has been largely interpreted from the analysis of the assumed feeding preference of extinct mammals. For example, the expansion of open-habitat ...
