Contribution of isotopic biogeochemistry (13C, 15N, 18O) to the paleoecology of mammoths (mammuthus primigenius)
TL;DR: Carbon isotopic abundances in Alaskan, Albertan and Russian mammoths indicate a diet of C3-plants, which may be due to differences in protein content of their diet as mentioned in this paper.

The Largest Known Bear, Arctotherium angustidens, from the Early Pleistocene Pampean Region of Argentina: With a Discussion of Size and Diet Trends in Bears
TL;DR: The South American giant short-faced bear (Arctotherium angustidens Gervais and Ameghino, 1880) was one of the earliest members of the genus and is known for being the earliest, largest, and most carnivorous member of this genus as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Investigation of the phylogeography of brown bears of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula in relation to other Alaskan brown bears because the former are being threatened by increased human development and all of the predictions were upheld.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Plio-Pleistocene hyaena Chasmaporthetes ossifragus from Florida
TL;DR: Chasmaporthetes ossifragus is recognized as the most derived taxon as discussed by the authors, and the fossil record suggests immigration of this genus from Eurasia to North America prior to 3.5 mya.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coevolution and biogeography among nematodirinae (nematoda: trichostrongylina) lagomorpha and artiodactyla (mammalia): exploring determinants of history and structure for the northern fauna across the holarctic
TL;DR: The history and distribution of this fauna is examined in the context of biotic and abiotic determinants for geographic colonization and host switching with an exploration of predicted responses of complex host–parasite systems to ecological perturbation under a regime of global climate change.
