The Nihewan Basin is infilled by a relatively complete Pliocene to Pleistocene sequence, rich mammalian fossils and containing many Palaeolithic artefacts, implying that it is a unique location for Quaternary multidisciplinary study. Fossil excavatio

New Material of Karakoromys (Ctenodactylidae, Rodentia) from Late Eocene-Early Oligocene of Ulantatal (Nei Mongol): Taxonomy, Diversity, and Response to Climatic Change

Publikováno v: Diversity, Vol 15, Iss 6, p 744 (2023)

The Eocene-Oligocene Transition (EOT) was one of the most profound climate changes in the Cenozoic era, characterized by global cooling around 34 million years ago. This time period also witnessed major faunal turnovers, such as the “Mongolian Remo

Although species within Lagomorpha are derived from a common ancestor, the distribution range and body size of its two extant groups, ochotonids and leporids, are quite differentiated. It is unclear what has driven their disparate evolutionary histor

Rediscovery and stratigraphic calibration of the classic Nihewan Fauna, Hebei Province, China

Autor: Arya Farjand, Zhaoqun Zhang, Anu Kaakinen, Shundong Bi, Philip L. Gibbard, Wang Lihua

The classic Nihewan Fauna, as the representative of early Pleistocene Asian Land Mammal Age Nihewanian, has long been cited for bio- and chronostratigraphic correlation. However, its precise provenance and stratigraphic horizon have remained unsolved

Ecology and Evolution

Cenozoic mammal evolution and faunal turnover are considered to have been influenced and triggered by global climate change. Teeth of large terrestrial ungulates are reliable proxies to trace long‐term climatic changes due to their morphological an
