Shed dinosaur teeth are commonly collected microvertebrate remains that have been used for interpretations of dinosaur feeding behaviors, paleoecology, and population studies. However, such interpretations may be biased by taphonomic processes such as fluvial sorting influenced by tooth shape: shed teeth, removed from the skull during life, and teeth possessing roots, removed from the skull aft...

The Equus datum has been established as a geochronologic ‘instantaneous’ migratory event of North American species into Eurasia at the beginning Pleistocene (2.58 Ma). A remarkable radiation followed across and Africa. Dmanisi includes excellent remains Equus, well calibrated between 1.85 1.76 Ma. Our morphologic morphometric analyses augmented sample support co-occurrence stenonis altidens in ...

Abstract Anthropogenic pressures are causing a global decline in biodiversity. Successful attempts at biodiversity conservation requires an understanding of patterns as well the drivers and processes that determine those patterns. To deepen this knowledge, neoecologists have focused on studying present-day or recent historical data, while paleoecologists usually study long-term data through com...
