Dental Microwear Texture Analysis of the Bornean Orangutans ( Pongo pygmaeus ) From the Selenka Collection
Controlled and Natural Ingestion of Exogenous Mineral Particles
A close-up at the paleoecology of the most western gelada relatives
Exploring the paleoecology of extinct species of the genus Theropithecus, which was widespread and diversified in Africa during the Pliocene and the Pleistocene, is crucial to have a full picture of the evolutionary history of this taxon. It also gives insights into the fundamental ecological range of the genus, now restricted to the Ethiopian highlands in a reduced set of habitats. This study aims to investigate the diet of Theropithecus atlanti…
Les collections de physique de l’université de Poitiers
La faculté des sciences de l’université de Poitiers, depuis sa création en 1854 a constitué un fonds important d’instrumentation expérimentale, passée et contemporaine, qui témoigne du dynamisme et des développements scientifiques portés par des hommes (fonds Turpain) et des équipes de recherche (Pprime UPR CNRS 3346) à la pointe dans les domaines de la physique et de l’ingénierie
Morphology of the Bony Labyrinth Supports the Affinities of Paradolichopithecus with the Papionina
Discoveries in recent decades indicate that the large papionin monkeys Paradolipopithecus and Procynocephalus are key members of the Late Pliocene – Early Pleistocene mammalian faunas of Eurasia. However, their taxonomical status, phylogenetic relationships, and ecological profile remain unclear. Here we investigate the two latter aspects through the study of the inner ear anatomy, as revealed by applying micro-CT scan imaging techniques on the c…
Investigating the dietary niches of fossil Plio-Pleistocene European macaques
The anatomy of the hindlimb of Theropithecus brumpti (Cercopithecidae, Papionini)
Feeding ecology of the last European colobine monkey, Dolichopithecus ruscinensis
Magnetostratigraphy and Chronology of the Lower Pleistocene Primate Bearing Dafnero Fossil Site, N. Greece
This paper aims to contribute to the stratigraphic and geochronological evaluation of the primate bearing Dafnero fossil site of Northern Greece by means of lithostratigraphic, paleomagnetic and paleontological analyses. The 60 m thick fossiliferous deposits of fluviatile origin are recognized as representing a typical braided-river sequence unconformably overlying molassic sediments. Rock magnetic investigations indicate the presence of both med…
Reindeer feeding ecology and hunting strategies by Magdalenians from Pincevent (Paris Basin, France)
In Pincevent (Paris Basin), archeaozoologists have observed a variation of hunting strategies between Magdalenian levels IV0 and IV20. Previous works on human‐prey interaction showed that hunters modelled their behaviour on their prey; therefore, r e constructing animal behaviour in order to reconstruct human strategies could enable better interpretation of these levels. This study aims to contribute to a global understanding of the variation bet…
Using springbok (Antidorcas) dietary proxies to reconstruct inferred palaeovegetational changes over 2 million years in Southern Africa
Dental microwear textural analysis as an analytical tool to depict individual traits and reconstruct the diet of a primate
Considering the interplay between the tested variables and both dental microwear and diet, we reaffirm that food physical properties play a major role in microwear variations. These results suggest that DMTA parameters may provide valuable hints for paleoecological reconstruction using fragmentary fossil dental remains
A 2Ma old baboon-like monkey from Northern Greece and new evidence to support the Paradolichopithecus - Procynocephalus synonymy (Primates)
Was Mesopithecus a seed eating colobine? Assessment of cracking, grinding and shearing ability using dental topography
Stable isotope ecology of Miocene bovids from northern Greece and the ape/monkey turnover in the Balkans
Spatial and temporal ecological diversity amongst eocene primates of france
Diet is of paramount importance in the life of a primate. It is also highly variable, as potential food sources vary in spatial distribution and availability over time. The fossil record, due to its fragmentary nature, offers few possibilities to assess the dietary range of a given primate across its spatial and temporal distribution. Here we focus on three taxa, Leptadapis magnus (Adapidae, Adapiformes), Necrolemur cf. antiquus (Microchoeridae, …
Multi-proxy approach detects heterogeneous habitats for primates during the Miocene climatic optimum in Central Europe
A hominid tooth from Bulgaria
On Mesopithecus habitat
Dietary reconstruction of the Amphipithecidae (Primates, Anthropoidea) from the Paleogene of South Asia and paleoecological implications
Folivory or fruit/seed predation for Mesopithecus, an earliest colobine from the late Miocene of Eurasia
Paleoenvironment of Dryopithecus brancoi at Rudabánya, Hungary
The oldest human remains from the Beagle Channel region, Tierra del Fuego
The biohistory of the human peopling of the Fuegian Archipelago and the processes of biocultural adaptation and microdifferentiation of the ethnohistorical ‘canoe’ (‘sea nomad’) and ‘foot’ natives are poorly known. Here we report the oldest human remains of a ‘sea nomad’ native discovered so far in the Beagle Channel region. The specimen consists of a deciduous molar from the site of Imiwaia I, dated to 5870 ± 145 years BP. The microwear pattern …
