Direct indicators of diet and predator-prey relationships are exceedingly rare in the fossil
record [1, 2]. However, it is through such traces that we can best understand trophic …

Gut contents are extremely important for inferring trophic interactions between extinct
species. These are, however, very rare in the fossil record and it is not always possible to …

The largest specimen of the four-winged dromaeosaurid dinosaur Microraptor gui includes
preserved gut contents. Previous reports of gut contents and considerations of functional …

Preserved indicators of diet are extremely rare in the fossil record; even more so is
unequivocal direct evidence for predator–prey relationships. Here, we report on a unique …

Mammals dominate modern terrestrial herbivore ecosystems, whereas extant herbivorous
reptiles are limited in diversity and body size. The evolution of reptile herbivory and its …

For most fossil taxa, dietary inference relies primarily on indirect evidence from jaw
morphology and the dentition. In rare cases, however, preserved gut contents provide direct …

2). For 30 years, biologists have perpetuated the notion that herbivory in lizards required
large body size, based largely on a set of physiological arguments centered on thermal …

Inference of feeding preferences in fossil terrestrial vertebrates (tetrapods) has been drawn
predominantly from craniodental morphology, and less so from fossil specimens preserving …

Seventeen species of large‐bodied lemurs recently lived on the island of Madagascar
alongside their smaller‐bodied still‐extant relatives. Called koala lemurs, monkey lemurs …

A taphonomic study has been undertaken on an assemblage of bones and teeth of
Isoptychus sp. and Thalerimys fordi (extinct rodent family Theridomyidae) from a single bed …
