Identification of Mule Deer (Odocoileus Hemionus) and White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus Virginianus) Postcranial Remains as a Means of Determining Human Subsistence Strategies

TL;DR: Mule deer and white-tailed deer (O. virginianus) overlap in geographic space over a large portio... as discussed by the authors, and are widely utilized resources in the Plains during prehistoric times.

Evolution of dental traits since latest Pleistocene in meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) from Virginia

TL;DR: Digitizing the third upper molars of Microtus pennsylvanicus reveals evolutionary change in some traits but stability in others during the last 30,000 years, suggesting that mosaic evolution operates in arvicoline lineages and provide testable paradigms for future studies.

Diversity of the Pleistocene Gomphotheres (Gomphotheriidae, Proboscidea) from South America

TL;DR: The present work was made possible through a joint Research Project with AECI, Spain - Argentina (1994-96) and grants from the Universidad Nacional del Centro, Argentina (1998-2002).

A GIS-based approach to documenting large canid damage to bones

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the ArcGIS Spatial Analyzer to identify significant concentrations of bone modifications in a carnivore-modified bone assemblage and found that the distribution of tooth pits varies considerably across elements as well as across different portions of the same element.

The relationship between foot size of wild canids and regional snow conditions: evidence for selection against a high footload?

TL;DR: It is suggested that snow may have contributed to selection for foot size in some wild canids (i.e. arctic fox, red fox), but such selective forces were probably relatively weak and inconsistent across species.
