Background Until recently, the evolution of the genus Homo has been interpreted in the
context of the onset of African aridity and the expansion of open grasslands. Homo erectus …

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

Abstract Murid rodents (Rodentia: Muridae) represent the most diverse and abundant
mammalian family. In this study, we provide a refined set of fossil calibrations which is used …

Time calibration derived from the fossil record is essential for molecular phylogenetic and
evolutionary studies. Fossil mice and rats, discovered in the Siwalik Group of Pakistan, have …

Electrophysiological analysis has revealed much about the broad coding and neural
ensemble dynamics that characterize gustatory cortical (GC) taste processing in awake rats …

The opening and closing of the equatorial East African forest belt during the Quaternary is
thought to have influenced the biogeographic histories of early modern humans and fauna …

Wood mice of the genus Hylomyscus, are small-sized rodents widely distributed in lowland
and montane rainforests in tropical Africa, where they can be locally abundant. Recent …

We investigate how oxygen isotopes in equid teeth can be used as a record of seasonality.
First, we use in situ laser ablation and conventional microsampling techniques to …

The Tertiary sediments of northern Pakistan are an exceptional record of terrestrial
sedimentation and represent most of Neogene time. Foremost is the Siwalik Group of the …

The NOW database makes knowledge of extinct mammals available broadly, especially for
temperate-latitude Eurasia. We add dated biostratigraphic information for the subtropical …
