Through eight successful editions, and over nearly 40 years, Biogeography: An Ecological
and Evolutionary Approach has provided a thorough and comprehensive exploration of the …

Recent fossil discoveries in Western Amazonia revealed that two distinct anthropoid primate
clades of African origin colonized South America near the Eocene/Oligocene transition (ca …

Here, we present a new primate phylogeny inferred from molecular supermatrix analyses of
size 42kb containing 70% of missing data, and representing 75% of primate species …

Background The best European locality for complete Eocene mammal skeletons is Grube
Messel, near Darmstadt, Germany. Although the site was surrounded by a para-tropical rain …

Diurnal light-dark cycle resets the master clock, while timed food intake is another potent
synchronizer of peripheral clocks in mammals. As the largest metabolic organ, the liver …

Profound environmental and faunal changes are associated with climatic deterioration
during the Eocene-Oligocene transition (EOT) roughly 34 million years ago. Reconstructing …

Adaptive shifts associated with human origins are brought to light as we examine the human
fossil record and study our own genome and that of our closest ape relatives. However, the …

Anthropoid primates other than humans show a conspicuously disjunct geographic
distribution today, inhabiting mostly tropical and subtropical parts of Asia, Africa, and Central …

Although the evolutionary history of anthropoid primates (monkeys, apes, and humans)
appears relatively well‐documented, there is limited data available regarding their origins …

Since 2012, we have investigated a stratigraphic section encompassing the late Eocene–
