In this study, we review the history of proboscideans in the Great Lakes region (Ontario and
western New York) in the context of local glacial and vegetational histories. Further, we …

Stable carbon and nitrogen isotope ratios have been used as markers for palaeoclimatic
and palaeoecological reconstructions across various geographical and temporal ranges …

The diet of extinct giant Xenarthrans is a debated topic, especially for ground sloths, for
which herbivory, insectivory, and carnivory through scavenging or active hunting have been …

Late Pleistocene sloths were widely distributed and present in a diversity of habitats in

Biogeochemical techniques have become most useful in the determination of the dietary
niches of fossil mammalian species and in the reconstruction of past communities. Stable …

Thirteen new chronometric dates for Illinois proboscideans are considered in relation to well-
dated pollen records from northeastern and central Illinois. These dates span an interval …
