A window into a late Pleistocene megafauna community: Stable isotopes show niche partitioning among herbivorous taxa at the Arroyo del Vizcaíno site (Uruguay)
The analysis of stable isotopes on fossil mammals has become a widely used tool for
understanding the paleoecology and paleodiet of these organisms. In this work, we study …
