Climate has played a significant role in shaping the distribution of mammal species across world. Mammal community composition can therefore be used for inferring modern and past climatic conditions. Here, we develop novel approach bioclimatic inference using machine learning (ML) algorithms, which allows accurate prediction set climate variables based on faunal community. The automated dataset construction process aggregates with maps, includes multiple taxonomic ranks as explanatory...
Rodentia is the most species-rich order among mammals. The Republic of South Africa harbours a high rodent diversity whose taxonomy and phylogeny have been extensively studied using genetic tools. Such advances led to establishment new faunal lists for country. Because rodents are frequently recovered from archaeological cave site material owl pellets, constitute prime studying both past present environmental conditions, it necessary characterize their osteological remains. skull teeth...
The Cradle of Humankind (Gauteng, South Africa) provides an important fossil record the evolutionary history PlioPleistocene hominins. Cooper's Cave deposits have yielded a rich faunal assemblage, as well six remains attributed to Paranthropus robustus. This study first taxonomic, taphonomic and palaeoecological description micromammal material from 1.4 Ma assemblage D. signature indicates accumulation by tytonid owls (probably Tyto alba) advanced postdepositional disturbance probably...
The development of taphonomy has improved our knowledge site formation and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. It also stimulated many neotaphonomic analyses that bring clues to some the alterations modifications processes fossilisation accumulations. This article aims show such experiments, by generating a lot valuable material associate data, need be integrated into official collections for future preservation. We will focus here upon two examples collections: 1 owl pellet microvertebrate...
