Past ecological responses of mammals to climate change are recognized in the fossil record
by adaptive significance of morphological variations. To understand the role of dietary …

Stable carbon isotope analysis in tooth enamel is a well-established approach to infer C3
and C4 dietary composition in fossil mammals. The bulk of past work has been conducted …

The morphological and ecological diversity of lemurs and lorisiformes once rivaled that of
the rest of the primate order. Here, we assemble a dataset of 3D models representing the …

Functional dental theory predicts that tooth shape responds evolutionarily to the mechanical
properties of food. Most studies of mammalian teeth have focused on qualitative measures …

Diverse lines of geological and geochemical evidence indicate that the Eocene-Oligocene
transition (EOT) marked the onset of a global cooling phase, rapid growth of the Antarctic ice …

Among rodents, the lineage from Progonomys hispanicus to Stephanomys documents a
case of increasing size and dental specialization during an approximately 9 Myr time …

Isotopic analyses of mammalian tooth enamel from a well-defined, laterally extensive 150 ky
interval (9.15–9.30 Ma) reveal an ecological gradient in vegetation on the late Miocene sub …

The North African murine rodent Paraethomys evolved as an anagenetic lineage from the
late Miocene until its extinction in the late—middle Pleistocene. A Fourier analysis of the …

Rodents are important components of nearly every terrestrial ecosystem and display
considerable ecological diversity. Nevertheless, a lack of data on the ecomorphology of …

Our understanding of primate adaptive evolution depends on appreciating the way in which
dental functional morphology affects food processing. The Papionini tribe of …
