Carbon isotope compositions of terrestrial C3 plants as indicators of (paleo) ecology and (paleo) climate
MJ Kohn - Proceedings of the National Academy of …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
A broad compilation of modern carbon isotope compositions in all C3 plant types shows a
monotonic increase in δ 13C with decreasing mean annual precipitation (MAP) that differs …

Expanded geographic distribution and dietary strategies of the earliest Oldowan hominins and Paranthropus
The oldest Oldowan tool sites, from around 2.6 million years ago, have previously been
confined to Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. We describe sites at Nyayanga, Kenya, dated to 3.032 …
