Pleistocene overkill and North American mammalian extinctions
DJ Meltzer - Annual Review of Anthropology, 2015 - annualreviews.org
Clovis groups in Late Pleistocene North America occasionally hunted several now extinct
large mammals. But whether their hunting drove 37 genera of animals to extinction has been …

Overkill, glacial history, and the extinction of North America's Ice Age megafauna
DJ Meltzer - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
The end of the Pleistocene in North America saw the extinction of 38 genera of mostly large
mammals. As their disappearance seemingly coincided with the arrival of people in the …

Life-history of Palaeoloxodon antiquus reveals Middle Pleistocene glacial refugium in the Megalopolis basin, Greece
The Balkans are considered a major glacial refugium where flora and fauna survived glacial
periods and repopulated the rest of Europe during interglacials. While it is also thought to …

Dietary and habitat shifts in relation to climate of Neogene-Quaternary proboscideans and associated mammals of the Indian subcontinent
Several studies have established that African proboscideans shifted their feeding strategies
(browsing vs. grazing) in response to climatic and ecological changes. However, similar …

Isotopic records of climate seasonality in equid teeth
We investigate how oxygen isotopes in equid teeth can be used as a record of seasonality.
First, we use in situ laser ablation and conventional microsampling techniques to …

Forward and inverse methods for extracting climate and diet information from stable isotope profiles in proboscidean molars
Intratooth stable isotope profiles in enamel provide time series of dietary and environmental
information that if correctly interpreted, serve as archives of seasonal variability in past …

[HTML][HTML] Reconstructing caribou seasonal biogeography in Little Ice Age (late Holocene) Western Alaska using intra-tooth strontium and oxygen isotope analysis
The palaeobiogeography of key prey-species can provide valuable insights into animal-
human interactions, human subsistence activities and landscape use in the past. In many …

Isotopic evidence of foraging ecology of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) in South China during the Late Pleistocene
J Ma, Y Wang, C **, Y Yan, Y Qu, Y Hu - Quaternary International, 2017 - Elsevier
Currently, knowledge of dietary preferences throughout the evolutionary history of the Asian
elephant Elephas maximus is ambiguous due to the absence of quantified proxy from the …
