Present-day relations between small-mammal community structure and rainfall are used to
predict late Neogene (12–3 Ma) precipitation patterns in Europe and Anatolia. New proxy …

Extant apes (Primates: Hominoidea) are the relics of a group that was much more diverse in
the past. They originated in Africa around the Oligocene/Miocene boundary, but by the …

We present two eight-million year long proxy records of precipitation for Southwest and
Central Europe, covering the middle to late Miocene (5.3–13 Ma) at a temporal resolution of …

The youngest regional chronostratigraphic unit of the Central Paratethys, the Pannonian
Stage, is benchmarked by the deposits of Lake Pannon, containing a highly endemic …

Hominoids, or taxa identified as hominoids, are known from much of Africa, Asia, and
Europe since the Late Oligocene. The earliest such taxa, from Africa, resemble extant …

A semi-quantitative evaluation method has been developed to map integrated fossil plant
records (leaf, fruit, and pollen assemblages) in terms of zonal vegetation. It incorporates …

Urmiyeh–Bazman volcanic belt with its northwest–southeast trend is believed to have
resulted from the collision of the Arabian and Ira ni an plates (Davoudzadeh, Lammerer, and …

Early Paleogene insectivore mammal associations of Asia include true insectivores
(superorder Insectivora: order Lipotyphla: suborders Erinaceomorpha and Soricomorpha; …

The environment of the hominoid Dryopithecus brancoi at Rudabánya (Late Miocene of
Hungary) is reconstructed here using the dietary traits of fossil ruminants and equids. Two …

We present here a study of European Neogene primate occurrences in the context of
changing humidity. We studied the differences of primate localities versus non-primate …
