Fossils document the evolution of life on Earth but represent only a small fraction of the species that ever existed. This study illustrates how common fossil record biases can render a distorted pict...

Massive plant-eating mammals, or megaherbivores, once engineered African landscapes but are nearly gone today. This new analysis of their fossil record suggests their decline was driven not only by hi...

Hipparion Red Clay of northern China represents one of the most crucial terrestrial mammal records of the Eurasian Neogene. Despite their long-standing relevance to biostratigraphy and palaeoecology, ...

Aim Species richness is generally lower in marine than in terrestrial ecosystems, but the reasons behind this disparity remain unclear. This study examines whether marine mammals diversify at a slow...

Abstract. Since rodent fossils are preserved in many low- and high-latitude archaeological and paleontological sites from a wide variety of environments, their associations are a commonly useful proxy...

This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in ....

La región que preside Isabel Díaz Ayuso es la que más estudiantes y personal está trasvasando de la pública a la privada, la que peores salarios tiene en relación al coste de vida, la que menos fondos...

Mientras que algunos incendios abren oportunidades para que la vida renazca con fuerza, los de alta intensidad pueden iniciar una degradación irreversible si no actuamos con inteligencia.

Understanding how species' ecological partitioning functions across biomes is fundamental to macroecology and conservation biology. Here, we examine the global distribution of dietary strategies in t...
