The analysis of stable isotopes in fossil mammals is useful for reconstructing
paleoenvironmental and paleoecological conditions, but has been rarely applied to the …

This study aims at assessing resource and habitat use, niche occupation and trophic
interactions from a stable isotope perspective on fossil mammals from the Argentine Pampas …

Mammalian frugivores are critical seed dispersers, but many are under threat of extinction.
Futhermore, the impact of past and future defaunation on plant assemblages has yet to be …

Stable isotopes in enamel, dentin, and bone hydroxyapatite are an important tool in the
investigation of the palaeoecology of extinct organisms and are applied as proxies for …

The megafauna extinction in South America was one of the most profound events, with the
loss of 50 genera (~ 83%). Three orders disappeared (Notoungulata, Proboscidea …

Abstract The Brazilian Intertropical Region (BIR) abounds with tank (natural reservoir)
deposits, a primary source of late Quaternary megafauna remains. However, most of these …

The analysis of stable isotopes on fossil mammals has become a widely used tool for
understanding the paleoecology and paleodiet of these organisms. In this work, we study …

Prehistoric and recent extinctions of large-bodied terrestrial herbivores had significant and
lasting impacts on Earth's ecosystems due to the loss of their distinct trait combinations. The …

With their odd cranial features, glyptodonts, closely related to extant armadillos, are a highly
diverse group of the South American megafauna. Doedicurus, Glyptodon, Panochthus, and …
