The evolution of large mammal faunas during the Pleistocene of Europe has been widely
investigated using taxonomical and/or ecological-functional categories, with special …

Generalities of food web structure have been identified for extant ecosystems. However, the
trophic organization of ancient ecosystems is unresolved, as prior studies of fossil webs …

The present study deals with new material of carnivorans (Mustelidae, Mephitidae, Ailuridae,
Potamotheriinae and Viverridae) from the basal Tortonian (Late Miocene, late Astaracian) …

This study investigates the community structure, dynamics and evolution of the guilds of
large carnivorans during the Pleistocene of Europe. Emphasis is given to important …

During the last field campaigns in the mammal fossiliferous site Apollonia 1 (Macedonia,
Greece), new carnivoran material has been discovered. The new collection added two new …

This study investigates whether terrestrial mammalian carnivore guilds of ancient South
America, which developed in relative isolation, were similar to those of other continents. We …

Hyaenodonta is a diverse, extinct group of carnivorous mammals that included weasel-to

An association of eighteen coprolites (specimens 01–18) and one isolated coprolite
(specimen 209,210) were found in a vertebrate fossil-rich paleosol at the Gratkorn site …

Abstract The rise of Carnivora (Mammalia: Laurasiatheria) is an important evolutionary event
that changed the structure of terrestrial ecosystems, starting at the dawn of the Eocene, 56 …

We describe a near-complete, three-dimensionally preserved skeleton of a metatherian
(relative of modern marsupials) from the middle Eocene (Lutetian: 44–43 million years ago) …
