Fossil mammals resolve regional patterns of Eurasian climate change over 20 million years
Mikael Fortelius,Jussi T. Eronen,Jukka Jernvall,Liping Liu,Diana Pushkina,Juhani Rinne,Alexey S. Tesakov,Inesa Vislobokova,Zhaoqun Zhang,Liping Zhou +9 more
TL;DR: Fossil teeth of terrestrial plant-eating mammals offer a new, quasi-quantitative proxy for environmental aridity that resolves previously unseen regional features across the Eurasian continent from 24 to 2 million years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late Miocene and Pliocene large land mammals and climatic changes in Eurasia
Mikael Fortelius,Jussi T. Eronen,Liping Liu,Liping Liu,Diana Pushkina,Alexey S. Tesakov,Inesa Vislobokova,Zhaoqun Zhang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors use mean plant-eater hypsodonty (molarcrown height) of late NeogenemammallocalitiestomaplateMiocene and Pliocenepalaeoprecipitation on the Eurasian continent and, with higher temporal resolution, in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strengthened East Asian summer monsoons during a period of high-latitude warmth? Isotopic evidence from Mio-Pliocene fossil mammals and soil carbonates from northern China
Benjamin H. Passey,Linda K. Ayliffe,Linda K. Ayliffe,Anu Kaakinen,Zhaoqun Zhang,Jussi T. Eronen,Yanming Zhu,Liping Zhou,Thure E. Cerling,Mikael Fortelius +9 more
TL;DR: This paper used carbon isotopic data from fossil teeth and soil carbonates to place constraints on paleovegetation distributions and to help infer the behavior of the monsoon system between ~7 and 4 Ma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enni Harjunmaa,Kerstin Seidel,Teemu J. Häkkinen,Elodie Renvoisé,Ian J. Corfe,Aki Kallonen,Zhaoqun Zhang,Alistair R. Evans,Marja L. Mikkola,Isaac Salazar-Ciudad,Ophir D. Klein,Jukka Jernvall +11 more
TL;DR: It is found that intermediate phenotypes could be produced by gradually adding ectodysplasin A protein in culture to tooth explants carrying a null mutation in the tooth-patterning gene Eda, and how to predict morphological patterns of teeth among mammalian species is shown.
