The carbon and nitrogen isotopic abundances of the collagen extracted from the Saint-
Césaire I Neanderthal have been used to infer the dietary behaviour of this specimen. A …

Interactions among species, which range from competition to facilitation, have profound
effects on ecosystem functioning. Large carnivores are of particular importance in sha** …

Spotted hyaenas Crocuta crocuta were once considered mere scavengers; however,
detailed research revealed that they are very efficient predators. Information on what spotted …

Africa supports Earth's richest assemblage of large predators, which coexist despite a high
degree of dietary overlap. This study used reviews of the prey preferences of African wild …

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 …

The giant hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris was the largest bone-cracking carnivore that ever
existed. With the mass of a lioness, it had massive limbs with shortened distal bones and a …

Skull variables were analysed for allometry patterns in 56 species of extant carnivores. As
previously reported, many skull variables scale near isometrically with either skull length or …

Homo and Pachycrocuta were the two major agents responsible for modifying and
accumulating bones during early Pleistocene times in Europe. However, although an …

This study provides a refined view on the diet and ecological niche of Neanderthals. The
traditional view is that Neanderthals obtained most of their dietary protein from terrestrial …

Broad-scale models describing predator prey preferences serve as useful departure points
for understanding predator-prey interactions at finer scales. Previous analyses used a …
