DOI: 10.1007/s00442-021-05011-9
Abstract: The diversity of endotherms and ectotherms may be differently affected by ambient temperature and net primary productivity (NPP). Additionally, little is known about how these drivers affect the diversity of guilds of different trophic levels.… read more here.

Medium and large mammal conservation in the City of Cape Town: factors influencing species richness in urban nature reserves
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Urban Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1007/s11252-020-01027-w
Abstract: Urbanisation is associated with the loss and fragmentation of natural land, the disruption of ecosystem functioning and services, and the loss of biodiversity. Cape Town is situated in a global biodiversity hotspot, with high rates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-019-00473-y
Abstract: Large mammals play significant roles in shaping the trophic structure of terrestrial ecosystems and affect the form of vegetation growth in many habitats. We studied large mammal community in a Mediterranean habitat mosaic generated by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.isci.2021.103083
Abstract: Summary A critical question in the conservation of large mammals in the Anthropocene is to know the extent to which they can tolerate human disturbance. Surprisingly, little quantitative data is available about large-scale effects of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/qua.2020.125
Abstract: Abstract A paleontological deposit near San Clemente de Térapa represents one of the very few Rancholabrean North American Land Mammal Age sites within Sonora, Mexico. During that time, grasslands were common, and the climate included… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0578
Abstract: Understanding how species respond to different anthropogenic pressures is essential for conservation planning. The archaeological record has great potential to inform extinction risk assessment by providing evidence on past human-caused biodiversity loss, but identifying specific… read more here.

Large mammal burrows in late Miocene calcic paleosols from central Argentina: paleoenvironment, taphonomy and producers
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "PeerJ"
DOI: 10.7717/peerj.4787
Abstract: Large cylindrical sediment-filled structures interpreted as mammal burrows occur within the loess-paleosol sequence of the late Miocene Cerro Azul Formation of central Argentina. A total of 115 burrow fills from three localities were measured. They… read more here.
