Quantifying temporal variation in dietary niche to reveal drivers of past population declines
Given the long and dynamic history of anthropogenic disturbances to ecosystems, it is
difficult to determine the drivers of past population declines. These uncertainties dilute the …

The sensitivity of Neotoma to climate change and biodiversity loss over the late Quaternary
The late Quaternary in North America was marked by highly variable climate and
considerable biodiversity loss including a megafaunal extinction event at the terminal …

Changes in the diet and body size of a small herbivorous mammal (hispid cotton rat, Sigmodon hispidus) following the late Pleistocene megafauna extinction
The catastrophic loss of large‐bodied mammals during the terminal Pleistocene likely led to
cascading effects within communities. While the extinction of the top consumers probably …

After the mammoths: The ecological legacy of late Pleistocene megafauna extinctions
The significant extinctions in Earth history have largely been unpredictable in terms of what
species perish and what traits make species susceptible. The extinctions occurring during …

Isotopic niche breadth of a generalist mesopredator increases with habitat heterogeneity across its range
LL Walsh, PK Tucker - Ecosphere, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Although generalists are becoming increasingly abundant and widespread, little is known
about their response to ecological variation they encounter across their range. For example …

Marine conservation palaeobiology: What does the late Quaternary fossil record tell us about modern-day extinctions and biodiversity threats?
Near-time conservation palaeobiology uses palaeontological, archaeological and other
geohistorical records to study the late Quaternary transition of the biosphere from its pristine …

Evaluating the responses of three closely related small mammal lineages to climate change across the Paleocene–Eocene thermal maximum
Interpreting the impact of climate change on vertebrates in the fossil record can be
complicated by the effects of potential biotic drivers on morphological patterns observed in …
