Resource partitioning among top predators in a Miocene food web

The exceptional fossil sites of Cerro de los Batallones (Madrid Basin, Spain) contain
abundant remains of Late Miocene mammals. From these fossil assemblages, we have
inferred diet, resource partitioning and habitat of three sympatric carnivorous mammals
based on stable isotopes. The carnivorans include three apex predators: two sabre-toothed
cats (Felidae) and a bear dog (Amphicyonidae). Herbivore and carnivore carbon isotope (δ
13C) values from tooth enamel imply the presence of a woodland ecosystem dominated by …
