Since the late Pleistocene, large-bodied mammals have been extirpated from much of Earth.
Although all habitable continents once harbored giant mammals, the few remaining species …

The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet∼ 1.8 million years ago led to the
exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and …

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 …

The present work concerns xenarthrans from the collection of Santiago (Kaspar Jakob) Roth

The phylogeny of mylodontid sloths has recently been the subject of multiple studies.
Contrasting hypotheses have been proposed, especially for the relationships among late …

Late Pleistocene sloths were widely distributed and present in a diversity of habitats in
South, Central, and North America and some Caribbean Islands. Late Pleistocene sloths …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are helpful for understanding actual and potential
biogeographical traits of organisms. These models have recently started to be applied in the …

Fossil remains of extinct terrestrial sloths have been discovered in numerous localities
throughout the Americas, but knowledge of these animals remains poor in the tropical …

Species distribution models (SDMs) for the last interglacial (LIG), the global last glacial
