The fossil record of cheetahs in eastern Asia is notably scarce and predominantly
fragmented, leaving the evolution of this lineage in eastern Asia largely enigmatic. In this …

For a long time, it is controversial whether cave bears have ever lived in China during the
Pleistocene. Here we checked the published and unpublished bear fossils from …

Univariate and multivariate statistics were applied to analyse the morphometrical variability
of 4920 upper cheek teeth (P4, M1 and M2) of cave bears from 123 geographical sites (180 …

In the rich vertebrate fauna of Imanay Cave the abundant material of the small-sized cave
bears was originally assigned to the taxon Ursus savini. Teeth and metapodials of statistical …

The variability of lower 6776 cheek teeth of spelaeoid (Ursus spelaeus, U. kanivetz, U.
deningeri, U. kudarensis, U. savini and U. rossicus) and arctoid lineages (extant and extinct …

The composition of large mammal fauna from the Imanay Cave in the Southern Urals (53°
02'N, 56° 26'E) is described in the present study. The paper aims to provide an preliminary …

Extinct cave bears inhabited a large part of Eurasia in a wide diversity of habitats during the
Pleistocene. This study investigates via tooth wear analysis the feeding habits of 66 …

The evolution of species composition and species richness from the end of the Middle
Pleistocene to the Middle Holocene (∼ 200–5 ka, MIS7–MIS1) studied in two Central …

The paper summarizes results of eighty years of studies of large (Ursus (Spelaearctos)
