The palaeomerycid Ampelomeryx ginsburgi is one of the most iconic mammals found at the early Middle Miocene fossil site of els Casots (Catalonia). To date, several investigations have addressed its taxonomy and phylogeny, but many aspects of its paleobiology still remain to be studied. [...]

Stable carbon isotopes are fundamental for dietary and life-history reconstructions across living and fossil mammals. However, commonly used enamel-diet isotopic offsets are primarily derived from large herbivores and rarely account for breastfeeding in developing teeth. [...]

Oreopithecus bambolii, from the Tusco-Sardinian archipelago, is the latest-known European Miocene ape and a longstanding evolutionary enigma, owing to its mosaic morphology. Its systematic position has been intensely debated, resulting in a broad spectrum of hypotheses, ranging from a dryopithecine great ape to a nyanzapithecid stem hominoid, a giant hylobatid, or even a pliopithecoid.

Bordy, E. M. (University of Cape Town. Department of Geological Sciences) ;
Groenewald, David (Institut Català de Paleoentologia Miquel Crusafont)
The Karoo Supergroup of southern Africa offers a valuable record of Gondwana's late Palaeozoic to early Mesozoic evolution over ~120 million years of geological history. This review synthesizes advances in sedimentology, stratigraphy, palaeontology, and basin analysis in the main Karoo Basin since 2000, highlighting key lessons and ongoing challenges. [...]

Un estudi liderat per personal investigador de l'ICP analitza la morfologia del radi (un dels dos ossos de l'avantbraç) del primat pliopitecoïdeu Pliobates cataloniae, del Miocè de la península Ibèrica, i n'avalua les implicacions per a l'evolució de la locomoció en els antropomorfs. Un estudio liderado por personal investigador del ICP analiza la morfología del radio (uno de los dos huesos del antebrazo) del primate pliopitecoideo Pliobates cataloniae, del Mioceno de la Península Ibérica, y evalúa sus implicaciones para la evolución de la locomoción en los antropomorfos. A study led by ICP researchers analyzes the morphology of the radius (one of the two forearm bones) of the pliopithecoid primate Pliobates cataloniae, from the Miocene of the Iberian Peninsula, and evaluates its implications for locomotor evolution in apes.

We describe a new fossil raccoon dog from the Late Pliocene site of Jradzor, Armenia, a key site to understand biogeographic connections and dispersal between Asia, Europe, and Africa. The specimens analysed here for the first time exhibit a mosaic of primitive and derived cranial and dental traits, distinguishing them from known taxa such as Nyctereutes tingi (e. [...]
