Patterns of dietary diversity in Holocene north-west South America: new insights from Bayesian stable isotope mixing models
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-05)
For two decades, stable isotope studies have documentedpalaeodietary transitions in the Sabana deBogotá region of north-west South America. Usingtraditional and Bayesian stable isotope mixing models,this article investigates ...
Stable Isotopes and Archaeology in Central Chile: Methodological Insights and Interpretative Problems for Dietary Reconstruction
(2009)
This paper discusses the problems faced when making interpretations of human stable
isotope values due to the various explanatory alternatives that arise when reading archaeological
data. These interpretative issues are ...
Evolution of diet in extant marsupials: emergent patterns from a broad phylogenetic perspective
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Extant marsupials are highly diverse, both morphologically and ecologically. As a key ecological factor, diet has been studied in marsupials at the species level. However, a general lack of phylogenetic integration has ...
Reconstructions using alloys and ceramics
(2017-01-01)
Different materials are used in prosthetic dental reconstructions: metals, ceramics, resins, and possible combinations thereof. The literature shows that esthetic demands by patients directed the current clinical practice ...
Stable isotope evidence for dietary and cultural change over the Holocene at the Sabana de Bogotá region, Northern South America
(Springer, 2018-06)
The Sabana de Bogotá in the northern Andes is an interesting region to investigate temporal patterns of dietary variation because it counts with a vast archeological and osteological record for the last 10,000 years. In ...
Long-Term Stability in the Trophic Ecology of a Pelagic Forager Living in a Changing Marine Ecosystem
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-02)
Natural or human-induced environmental changes can modify the structure of ecological communities and thus alter food web interactions. After the collapse of hake stocks (Merluccius hubbsi) provoked by fisheries over the ...
Environmental diversity and stable isotope variation in faunas: Implications for human diet reconstruction in Argentine mid-latitude deserts
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
This paper presents the results of an isotopic study of δ13C and δ15N values for bone collagen from 209 modern faunas from central-western Argentina. The samples come from two ecologically distinct areas: the Monte and ...
Snout shape and masticatory apparatus of the rodent-like mesotheriidungulates (Typotheria, Notoungulata): exploring evolutionary trends in dietary strategies through ancestralreconstructions
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Mesotheriidae were small to medium-sized native South American ungulates. Mesotheriids radiated from the early Oligocene epoch to the early–middle Pleistocene, in two subfamilies: Trachytheriinae and Mesotheriinae. Beyond ...
