8 p, 939.6 KB Les adaptacions que ens han fet humans. Morfologia / Alba, David M.. (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Almécija, Sergio (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Els humans compartim moltes característiques morfològiques amb els grans antropomorfs actuals, però també presentem característiques úniques relacionades amb el bipedisme habitual, la manipulació, la cognició, la dieta, i el comportament sociosexual. [...]
Humans share many morphological features with living great apes but also display unique characteristics related to habitual bipedalism, manipulation, diet, cognition, and sociosexual behavior. Darwin inferred that all these features were interrelated but could not determine their order of appearance. [...]

62 p, 3.3 MB A proximal radius of Barberapithecus huerzeleri from Castell de Barberà: Implications for locomotor diversity among pliopithecoids / Arias-Martorell, Julia (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Almécija, Sergio (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Urciuoli, Alessandro (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Nakatsukasa, Masato (Kyoto University.

(Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Pliopithecoids are a diverse group of Miocene catarrhine primates from Eurasia. Their positional behavior is still unknown, and many species are known exclusively from dentognathic remains. Here, we describe a proximal radius (IPS66267) from the late Miocene of Castell de Barberà (Vallès-Penedès Basin, NE Iberian Peninsula) that represents the first postcranial specimen of the pliopithecoid Barberapithecus huerzeleri. [...]

42 p, 5.2 MB Fossil apes and human evolution / Almécija, Sergio (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Hammond, Ashley S. (American Museum of Natural History.

(Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Humans diverged from apes (chimpanzees, specifically) toward the end of the Miocene ~9. 3 million to 6. 5 million years ago. Understanding the origins of the human lineage (hominins) requires reconstructing the morphology, behavior, and environment of the chimpanzee-human last common ancestor. [...]

32 p, 1.5 MB First record of Latonia gigantea (Anura, Alytidae) from the Iberian Peninsula / Villa, Andrea (Università degli Studi di Torino. Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Hernández Luján, Àngel (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Almécija, Sergio (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Alba, David M.. (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
The single extant species of the anuran genus Latonia lives in Israel, but in the fossil record the genus is known mainly from Europe, spanning from the Oligocene to the early Pleistocene. Here we describe new remains of Latonia from the early to late Miocene of the Vallès-Penedès Basin (NE Iberian Peninsula), coming from the following localities: Sant Mamet (MN4), Sant Quirze and Trinxera del Ferrocarril (MN7+8), and Castell de Barberà, Can Poncic 1 and Can Llobateres 1 (MN9).

15 p, 13.4 MB Getting its feet on the ground : elucidating Paralouatta's semi-terrestriality using the virtual morpho-functional toolbox / Püschel, Thomas (University of Oxford.

Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (UK))
Currently, there are no living platyrrhine primates inhabiting the main Caribbean islands. Nevertheless, the fossil record of this area has provided outstanding findings of different New World monkeys that were part of a diverse radiation exhibiting remarkably unusual morphologies. [...]

8 p, 1.7 MB Insights into the lower torso in late Miocene hominoid Oreopithecus bambolii / Hammond, Ashley S. (New York Consortium of Evolutionary Primatology) ; Rook, Lorenzo (Università di Firenze. Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra) ; Anaya, Alisha D. (American Museum of Natural History. Division of Anthropology) ; Cioppi, Elisabetta (Università di Firenze. Geologia e Paleontologia.

Department of Geosciences) ; Moyà Solà, Salvador (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Almécija, Sergio (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
Oreopithecus bambolii (8. 3-6. 7 million years old) is the latest known hominoid from Europe, dating to approximately the divergence time of the Pan-hominin lineages. Despite being the most complete nonhominin hominoid in the fossil record, the O. [...]

Department of Integrative Anatomical Sciences (USA))
The divergence of crown catarrhines-i. e. , the split of cercopithecoids (Old World monkeys) from hominoids (apes and humans)-is a poorly understood phase in our shared evolutionary history with other primates. [...]

In the Iberian Peninsula, Miocene apes (Hominoidea) are generally rare and mostly restricted to the Vallès-Penedès Basin. Here we report a new hominoid maxillary fragment with M2 from this basin. It was surface-collected in March 2017 from the site of Can Pallars i Llobateres (CPL, Sant Quirze del Vallès), where fossil apes had not been previously recorded. [...]

16 p, 9.9 MB An Amphisbaenian skull from the European Miocene and the evolution of Mediterranean worm lizards / Bolet, Arnau (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Delfino, Massimo (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Fortuny, Josep (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Almécija, Sergio (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Robles Gimenez, Josep Maria (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont) ; Alba, David M.. (Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont)
The evolution of blanid amphisbaenians (Mediterranean worm lizards) is mainly inferred based on molecular studies, despite their fossils are common in Cenozoic European localities. This is because the fossil record exclusively consists in isolated elements of limited taxonomic value. [...]
