Journal ArticleDOI
The micromammalian fauna from the Leilao, Yuanmou hominoid locality: implications for biochronology and paleoecology.
Ni Xijun,Qiu Zhuding +1 more
TL;DR: The Yuanmou hominoid fauna is now considered older than the Lufeng fauna, and is currently thought to correspond to an age of about 9 Ma, which indicates a predominantly forested habitat, with marginal environments consisting of bush-grassland.
Insectivores (Lipotyphla) and bats (Chiroptera) from the Late Miocene of Austria
TL;DR: The insectivores and bats from eight samples from eight Late Miocene localities in Austria – Bullendorf, Stixneusiedl, GotzendorF, Richardhof-Golfplatz, Richard Hof-Wald, Neusiesl am See, Schernham and Eichkogel – are presented and five new insectivore species are described.

Moles [Talpidae] from the late Middle Miocene of South Germany
TL;DR: The presence of Urotrichini in nearly all samples, albeit scanty, suggests a forestal environment within the range of the owls, which preyed on them.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new genus of red‐toothed shrew (Mammalia, Soricidae) from the Early Pleistocene of Gran Dolina (Atapuerca, Burgos, Spain), and a phylogenetic approach to the Eurasiatic Soricinae
Juan Rofes,Gloria Cuenca-Bescós +1 more
TL;DR: Morphometric and phylogenetic analyses indicate that the new species of shrew from the Pleistocene is more closely related to Asiatic forms than to the species Beremendia fissidens with its primarily European distribution.

Contrasting evolutionary history of hedgehogs and gymnures (Mammalia: Erinaceomorpha) as inferred from a multigene study
TL;DR: The first multilocus analysis of phylogenetic relationships among genera of Erinaceidae and estimated the split times between and within the two subfamilies is performed, producing a well-resolved molecular phylogeny.

Ruscinian and early Pleistocene Soricidae (Insectivora, Mammalia) from Tegelen (The Netherlands) and Hungary
TL;DR: It can be concluded that during the Ruscinian the Soricidae were a very successful group, showing an explosion in species diversity, and the Villanyian climatic decline caused many extinctions and a considerable impoverishment of the soricid diversity.
