A number of characters separate not only these species, but Suidae and Old World “Tayassuidae” as well. Albanohyus appears to be a suid and not a “tayassuid”. In Europe, Albanohyusis characterized...

Tracking mammal body size distributions in the fossil record: a preliminary test of the ‘rule of limiting similarity’
Abstract: Ecologists have puzzled for years over the distributions of body sizes in organismal communities. G. E. Hutchinson (1959) suggested the spacing of body sizes among guild members might serve to reduce competition for resources. He proposed that a ratio of at least 1.3 between average linear dimensions of trophic parts... Read more...

Application of Unitary Associations to biochronological scales based on mammals: the case of Miocene rodents from some localities in western Europe
Abstract: The method of biochronological analysis known as “Unitary Associations” was developed in the late 1970s in order to establish concurrent range zones taking virtual associations into account (e. g., synchronous species that never coexisted for ecological reasons). We have here used three successions of Miocene localities as synthetic sections. They... Read more...

A discussion of the referral of Mimomys occitanus Thaler, 1955 (Rodentia: Arvicolidae) to the genus Mimomys
Abstract: Mimomys occitanus, which up to now has been considered to be a member of one of the Mimomys lineages, should be excluded from this group. The main argument for this is the development of the height of the Sb3 (=anterior buccal synclinal) wall of the M1. Very early arvicolids such... Read more...
