A common use of stable isotope analysis in mammalogy is to make inferences about diet
from isotope values (typically δ13C and δ15N) measured in tissues and food sources of a …

Isotopic tracking of carnivore palaeoecology is a relatively new approach that yielded
important results for the study of the non-analogue mammoth steppe biome. After describing …

Stable isotope mixing models are increasingly used to quantify consumer diets, but may be
misused and misinterpreted. We address major challenges to their effective application …

The Gravettian site of Předmostí I in the central Moravian Plain has yielded a rich and
diverse large mammal fauna dated around 25–27,000 14 C years BP (ca. 29,500–31,500 …

Stable isotope analysis is increasingly being used to assess diet and trophic positions of
animals. Such assessments require estimates of trophic discrimination factors (TDFs)—offset …

This book traces the evolution of the dog, from its origins about 15,000 years ago up to
recent times. The timing of dog domestication receives attention, with comparisons between …

The conservation status of large-bodied mammals is dire. Their decline has serious
consequences because they have unique ecological roles not replicated by smaller-bodied …

There is growing evidence for individuality in dietary preferences and foraging behaviors
within populations of various species. This is especially important for apex predators, since …

Correlating cultural, technological and ecological aspects of both Upper Pleistocene modern
humans (UPMHs) and Neandertals provides a useful approach for achieving robust …

Most terrestrial large mammals went extinct on different continents at the end of the
Pleistocene, between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago. Besides the loss in species diversity …
