Biological turnovers in response to marine incursion into the Caspian Sea at the Plio-Pleistocene transition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Global and Planetary Change"
DOI: 10.1016/j.gloplacha.2021.103623
Abstract: Abstract Marine influence on low-salinity environments can trigger aquatic ecosystem shifts, including biodiversity turnovers. High-resolution palaeoenvironmental records of marine connection events are particularly valuable, as they provide natural laboratories to understand analogous oceanographic and biodiversity… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2018.04.012
Abstract: Baboons (Papio hamadryas) are among the most successful extant primates, with a minimum of six distinctive forms throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. However, their presence in the fossil record is unclear. Three early fossil taxa are generally… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jhevol.2019.102667
Abstract: Reconstructions of hominin evolution have long benefited from comparisons with nonhuman primates, especially baboons and chimpanzees. The hamadryas baboon (Papio hamadryas) is arguably one of the best such models, as it exhibits both the male… read more here.
