Unraveling the origins of Malesia's once vast, hyperdiverse rainforests is a perennial
challenge. Major contributions to rainforest assembly came from floristic elements carried on …

In recent years, a series of discoveries of a diverse early Eocene (~ 54.5 Ma) terrestrial
mammal fauna from the open-cast lignite mines of western India (District Surat, Gujarat) …

Abstract The Ypresian Cambay Shale Formation at Vastan and Mangrol lignite mines in
Gujarat, western India, has yielded a rich vertebrate fauna with numerous taxa of European …

Several scenarios have been proposed to explain rapid net size increases in some early
Cenozoic mammalian lineages: sustained and gradual directional change, successive …

The earliest perissodactyls are represented by some basal equoid fossils from Euramerica
near the Paleocene/Eocene boundary. Unequivocal early equoids have yet to be reported …

Artiodactyls diversified during the Eocene and Oligocene in North America and Europe after
their first Holarctic appearance at the beginning of the Eocene. However, the relationships …

The anatomy of Cambaytherium, a primitive, perissodactyl-like mammal from the lower
Eocene Cambay Shale Formation of Gujarat, India, is described in detail on the basis of …

Mammals are the most important elements in Cenozoic terrestrial ecosystem. The
composition and the character of a mammalian fauna are controlled by evolution time and …

Rodents are an important component in Paleogene terrestrial ecosystems. Their evolution
and faunal turnover have likely been influenced and triggered by global climate change …

During the last two decades, work carried out in the Eocene lignite sequences of Rajasthan
and Gujarat has thrown considerable light on the terrestrial biotas during the drift of India …
