Clines in Africa: does size vary in the same way among widespread sub-Saharan monkeys? (2012)

Aim We characterize and compare patterns of clinal size variation among diverse widespread sub-Saharan monkeys with the aim of identifying commonalities and differences in biogeographical variation. Thus, we accurately quantify nonlinear clines in re... Read More about Clines in Africa: does size vary in the same way among widespread sub-Saharan monkeys?.

Bone morphology of the cats (Mammalia: Felidae) is influenced by many factors, including locomotor mode, body size, hunting methods, prey size and phylogeny. Here, we investigate the shape of the proximal and distal humeral epiphyses in extant specie... Read More about Humeral shape in felids: phylogenetic, locomotor and allometric influences..

Stable isotopes provide independent support for the use of mesowear variables for inferring diets in African antelopes (2012)
Journal Article

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 279(1746), 4441-4446. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2012.1473

We examine the relationship between mesowear variables and carbon and nitrogen isotopes in 16 species of African antelope (Mammalia: Bovidae). We show significant differences in carbon and nitrogen isotope values between individuals exhibiting sharp...

The southern African cercopithecid (monkey) fauna has undergone a profound change in composition and diversity since the Plio-Pleistocene, with modern species representing only a small part of the diversity that existed in the past. During the Plio-P...
