Diets estimated from different proxies such as stable isotopes, stomach contents, and dental
microwear often disagree, leading to nominally well‐supported but greatly differing …

Since their recruitment in the oral cavity, approximately 450 million years ago, teeth have
been subjected to strong selective constraints due to the crucial role that they play in species …

The emergence of C4 grass biomes is believed to have first taken place in the upper
Miocene, when a series of events modified global climate with long-lasting impacts on …

Megafauna (terrestrial vertebrate herbivores> 5 kg) can have disproportionate direct and
indirect effects on forest structure, function, and biogeochemical cycles. We reviewed the …

Owing to the late Pleistocene extinctions, the megafauna of Europe, Australia and the
Americas disappeared, and with them the dispersal service they offered megafaunal fruit …

The fossil xenarthrans include giant forms, the ground sloths (Tardigrada), characteristic of
the mammal fauna of the Pleistocene of South America. Although most authors agree in …

Isotopes are one of the best tools to reconstruct the paleoecology of extinct taxa, allowing us
to evaluate their diet (through carbon; C3 and C4 plants), their niche breadth (BA) and the …
