  • The sensitivity of Neotoma to climate change and biodiversity loss over the late Quaternary

    Open AccessCatalina P Tomé, Kathleen Lyons et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2022

    The late Quaternary in North America was marked by highly variable climate and considerable biodiversity loss including a megafaunal extinction event at the terminal Pleistocene. Here, we focus on changes in body size and diet in Neotoma (woodrats) in response to these ecological perturbations using the fossil record from the Edwards Plateau (Texas) across the past 20,000 years. Body mass was estimated using measurements of fossil teeth and diet …

  • Investigating (a)symmetry in a small mammal's response to warming and cooling events across western North America over the late Quaternary

    Open AccessMeghan A Balk, Julio L Betancourt et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2019

    Many mammalian populations conform spatially and temporally to Bergmann's rule. This ecogeographic pattern is driven by selection for larger body masses by cooler temperatures and smaller ones by warming temperatures. However, it is unclear whether the response to warming or cooling temperatures is (a)symmetrical. Studies of the evolutionary record suggest that mammals evolve smaller body sizes more rapidly than larger ones, suggesting that it ma…

  • The effect of Holocene temperature fluctuations on the evolution and ecology of Neotoma (woodrats) in Idaho and northwestern Utah

    Open AccessFelicia A Smith, Felisa A Smith et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2003

    Animals respond to climatic change by adapting or by altering distributional patterns. How an animal responds is influenced by where it is positioned within its geographic range; the probability of extirpation is increased near range boundaries. Here, we examine the impact of Holocene climatic fluctuations on a small mammalian herbivore, the bushy-tailed woodrat ( Neotoma cinerea ), at five locations within south central Idaho and northwestern Ut…

    Ethan H Decker, Scott Elliott et al.ARTICLEAnnual Review of Energy and the…2000

    This paper reviews the available data and models on energy and material flows through the world's 25 largest cities. Throughput is categorized as stored, transformed, or passive for the major flow modes. The aggregate, fuel, food, water, and air cycles are all examined. Emphasis is placed on atmospheric pathways because the data are abundant. Relevant models of urban energy and material flows, demography, and atmospheric chemistry are discussed. …

  • Response of Bushy-Tailed Woodrats ( Neotoma cinerea ) to Late Quaternary Climatic Change in the Colorado Plateau

    Open AccessFelicia A Smith, Felisa A Smith et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research1998

    Temperature profoundly influences the physiology and life history characteristics of organisms, particularly in terms of body size. Because so many critical parameters scale with body mass, long-term temperature fluctuations can have dramatic impacts. We examined the response of a small mammalian herbivore, the bushy-tailed woodrat ( Neotoma cinerea ), to temperature change from 20,000 yr B.P. to present, at five sites within the Colorado Plateau…
