Ecological diversity analysis (EDA) is a technique that uses ecological attributes of
mammals to reconstruct the community structure and habitat of a fossil locality. EDAs of …

with past ones, in order to understand the extent of change that present faunas exhibit with …

Fundamentally rooted in Odum's niche concept, mammal community studies are based on
the understanding that each resident species reveals information about its environment …

Reconstructing paleoenvironments has long been considered a vital component for
understanding community structure of extinct organisms, as well as patterns that guide …

Estimates of paleodiversity patterns through time have relied on datasets that lump
taxonomic occurrences from geographic areas of varying size per interval of time. In …

Questions: Are different types of terrestrial mammalian-dominated ecosystems characterized
by specific taxon-free patterns in the trophic structure of the mammalian community? If so …

In North America during the terminal Pleistocene (ca 15,000–10,000 BP), patterns of
geographical variability in mammal community richness differed from those observed here …
