The Late Miocene development of faunas and environments in western Eurasia is well known, but the climatic environmental processes that controlled its details are incompletely understood. Here we map rise fall classic Pikermian fossil mammal chronofauna between 12 4.2 Ma, using genus-level faunal similarity localities. To directly relate land community evolution to change, use hypsodonty paleoprecipitation proxy paleoclimate modeling. geographic distribution successive timeslices shows open...
It has been demonstrated in climate models that both the Indian and East Asian summer monsoons (ISM EASM) are strengthened by uplift of entire orography or Tibetan Plateau (TP) (i.e. bulk mountain uplift). Such an effect is widely perceived as major mechanism contributing to evolution Neogene. However, geological evidence suggests more diachronous growth regional uplift) than uplift. This demands a re-evaluation relation between monsoon periods. In this study, sensitivity experiments...
The environmental drivers of species distributions and abundances are at the core ecological research. However, effects these on human abundance not well-known. Here, we report how net primary productivity, biodiversity, pathogen stress affect population density using global ethnographic hunter-gatherer data. Our results show that productivity has significant globally. most important direct drivers, however, depend conditions: biodiversity influences exclusively in low-productivity regions,...

The relative weights of physical forcing and biotic interaction as drivers evolutionary change have been debated in theory. recent finding that species, genera, clades, chronofaunas all appear to exhibit a symmetrical pattern waxing waning lends support the view interactions shape history life. Yet, there is similarly abundant evidence these primary units biological evolution arise wane coincidence with major climatic change. We review patterns process-level explanations offered for them....

Abstract Aim To produce a spatial clustering of Europe on the basis species occurrence data for land mammal fauna. Location defined by following boundaries: 11°W, 32°E, 71°N, 35°N. Methods Presence/absence records collected Societas Europaea Mammalogica with resolution 50 × km were used in analysis. After pre‐processing, provide information 124 2183 grid cells. The clustered using k ‐means and probabilistic expectation maximization (EM) algorithms. resulting geographical pattern clusters was...
Environmental conditions, dispersal lags, and interactions among species are major factors structuring communities through time across space. Ecologists have emphasized the importance of biotic in determining local patterns association. In contrast, abiotic limits, limitation, historical commonly been invoked to explain community structure at larger spatiotemporal scales, such as appearance late Pleistocene no‐analog or latitudinal gradients richness both modern fossil assemblages....
We have recently shown that rainfall, one of the main climatic determinants terrestrial net primary productivity (NPP), can be robustly estimated from mean molar tooth crown height (hypsodonty) mammalian herbivores. Here, we show another functional trait herbivore surfaces, longitudinal loph count, similarly used to extract reasonable estimates rainfall but also temperature, other determinant NPP. Together, and number lophs explain 73 per cent global variation in NPP today resolve biomes...
Ungulate diets may vary following differences in vegetation, and their body size is affected by a complex set of ecological physiological variables.Here we analyse Middle Late Pleistocene British German ungulate palaeocommunities to test whether there are significant correlations diet species with vegetation openness.We also evaluate the role interspecific interactions on mass species.We use mesowear for dietary analyses regression equations estimating from skeletal measures.The results show...
