Implications of a Bayesian radiocarbon calibration of colonization ages for mammalian megafauna in glaciated New York State after the Last Glacial Maximum
TL;DR: Radiocarbon dates of megafaunal mammal species from New York State after the Last Glacial Maximum suggest species colonization and extirpation are driven by access to preferred habitat types, and the timing of caribou colonization implies that ecosystems were developed in the state prior to 16,000 cal yr BP.

Early irvingtonian (latest pliocene) rodents from inglis 1c, citrus county, florida
TL;DR: A new early Irvingtonian (latest Pliocene) rodent fauna is reported in this paper from Inglis 1C, Citrus County, Florida, which contains the oldest records of three rodents (Peromyscus polionotus, Reith- rodontomys humulis, and Atopomys texensis) and the youngest occurrences of two others (Reithrodontmys wetmorei and Ondatra idahoensis).
Journal ArticleDOI
Discordant patterns of morphological variation in genetically divergent populations of ornate shrews (Sorex ornatus).
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the skull morphology of the northern Sorex ornatus and found that the skull shape differences among populations could be the result of local adaptation, whereas the long history of isolation might have contributed little to morphological differences between species.

Running Over the Same Old Ground: Stegomastodon Never Roamed South America
TL;DR: A phylogenetic hypothesis of trilophodont bunodont proboscideans supports the separation between Stegomastodon and Notiomastodon, and the diversification of the common ancestor of these proboscidans may have occurred during the middle to late Miocene.

Human paleoecological integration in subarctic eastern Beringia
TL;DR: This article investigated the role of humans as a predator and a competitor in the extinction and dispersal of megafauna in subarctic eastern Beringia by focusing on changes in the trophic dynamics of the large mammal community.
