Reconstructing vapor pressure deficit from leaf wax lipid molecular distributions
Estimates of atmospheric moisture are critical for understanding the links and feedbacks
between atmospheric CO2 and global climate. At present, there are few quantitative …

Multiproxy reconstruction of the palaeoclimate and palaeoenvironment of the Middle Miocene Somosaguas site (Madrid, Spain) using herbivore dental enamel
Profound palaeoclimatic changes took place during the Middle Miocene. The Miocene
Climatic Optimum (∼ 20 to 14–13.5 Ma) was followed by a sudden (∼ 200 ka) decrease in …

Isotopic paleoecology of mammals and the Middle Miocene Cooling event in the Madrid Basin (Spain)
The Middle Miocene underwent profound climatic perturbations detected in worldwide
marine and continental records. The Miocene Climatic Optimum (~ 17 to 14Ma), a warm and …

Functional and systematic implications of the postcranial anatomy of a Late Miocene feline (Carnivora, Felidae) from Batallones-1 (Madrid, Spain)
Abstract The Spanish late Miocene locality of Batallones-1 yielded a rich sample of large
carnivorans, including saber-toothed felids, amphicyonids, and ailurids, but also of smaller …

Messor barbarus ants as soil bioturbators: implications for granulometry, mineralogical composition and fossil remains extraction in Somosaguas site (Madrid basin …
Few studies have inquired about the relationship between myrmecological activity and the
granulometry and mineralogy of sediments of a palaeontological site. The objectives of this …

Body-size structure of Central Iberian mammal fauna reveals semidesertic conditions during the middle Miocene Global Cooling Event
We developed new quantitative palaeoclimatic inference models based on the body-size
structure of mammal faunas from the Old World tropics and applied them to the Somosaguas …

Taphonomy of mammalian fossil bones from the debris-flow deposits of Somosaguas-North (Middle Miocene, Madrid Basin, Spain)
Debris-flow hosted assemblages dominated by mammalian remains are very scarce in the
fossil record and few examples are reported. Herein we present a detailed taphonomic study …

The fossil record of the Neogene Carnivore Mammals from Spain
Abstract Carnivore mammals (Carnivora, Mammalia) constitute a significant component of
the Spanish Neogene faunas, not so much due to their fossil abundance, which is generally …
