Abstract Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene epochs 3.6 to 0.8 million years ago had
climates resembling those forecasted under future warming. Palaeoclimatic records show …

Fire activity varies substantially at global scales because of the influence of climate, but at
broad spatiotemporal scales, the possible effects of herbivory on fire activity are unknown …

Trace fossils preserved with fossil worm-shaped remains suggest the presence of free-living
flatworms during the Ordovician at the latest and their occurrence in terrestrial environments …

The ecology and behaviour of woolly and Columbian mammoths and mastodons have been
extensively studied. Despite this, their patterns of mobility, and particularly the question of …

Despite their important role in lake ecosystems, the fossil record of consumers has been
underutilized compared to the remains of algae and plants in paleoenvironmental studies …

Most megaherbivores in the Americas went extinct around 10,000 years ago, presumably
disrupting the long-distance seed dispersal of large, fleshy-fruited plant species1. The …

This paper illustrates death positions of lightly scavenged or unscavenged large mammal
carcasses, providing context for interpreting the body positions of mammoths, such as the …
