The Archaeological Record of Human Impacts on Animal Populations (2001, unknown): “In the Great Basin of the western United States, human population densities fell dramatically during the very dry Middle Holocene, but when this region was recolonized some 5,000 years ago, extinctions did not follow (Grayson, 2000a).”
Small mammal responses to environmental change: integrating past and present dynamics (2014, background): “The Great Basin also is characterized by a rich Holocene fossil record because of the excellent preservation of fossil material in the region’s many dry caves (Grayson 2000a; Terry 2010b).”
A global parasite conservation plan (2020, background): “…of years), other sources, such as woodrat middens (Cole and Arundel, 2005; Webb and Betancourt, 1990), raptor pellets (Beltrame et al., 2016; Grayson, 2000), ancient DNA preserved in coprolites (Boast et al., 2018), host-symbiont cophylogenies (Doña and Johnson, in this special issue), and…”
Regulation of animal size by eNPP, Bergmann's rule, and related phenomena (2011, result): “In many of these cases, declines in both size and abundance are associated with a shift to warmer, drier conditions during the Altithermal (Purdue 1989, Grayson 1998, 2000, Lyman 2004a, Lyman and Wolverton 2002), which is consistent with changes expected with decreasing eNPP.”
Impacts of climate change on species, populations and communities: palaeobiogeographical insights and frontiers (2008, background): “Palaeoecological studies on mammals have documented the entire gamut of responses possible, including tolerance, local extirpation and range shifts, as well as adaptive changes in genetics and/ or morphology (eg, Graham, 1986; Dayan et al., 1991; Smith et al., 1995; FAUNMAP Working Group, 1996; Hadl”
Dietary evenness, prey choice, and human–environment interactions (2004, unknown): “This means that archaeologists interested in optimal foraging models and prey choice must devise methods of separating animals taken en masse from those hunted singly (also discussed in [17,24]).”
Range dynamics of small mammals along an elevational gradient over an 80‐year interval (2009, background): “These species can be classified based on microhabitat occupancy (Brown, 1971; Grayson, 2000; Rickart, 2001; Rowe, 2007) as mesic specialists (12 species), xeric specialists (8), or habitat generalists (7).”
Vulnerability of African mammals to anthropogenic climate change under conservative land transformation assumptions (2006, background): “…CC, especially around the Great Basin of the western US (Grayson, 2000), by showing a decrease in species richness and evenness, driven largely by a series of local extinctions and near-extinctions coupled with a dramatic increase in the abundance of xerophytic taxa (Graham, 1992; Grayson, 2000).”
Evolutionary Foraging Models in Zooarchaeological Analysis: Recent Applications and Future Challenges (2007, background): “…association in evidence of environmental change as reflected by several classes of paleoclimaticsensitive indices such as plant communities (e.g., Grayson 2000; Madsen et al. 2000) or cultural adaptations (e.g., storage facilities, different hunting technology, changes in settlement patterns).”
A brief history of Great Basin pikas (2005, background): “2106 Journal of Biogeography 32, 2103–2111, ª 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd moisture during much, if not all, of this time (Grayson, 1993, 2000; Rhode & Madsen, 1995; Wigand & Rhode, 2002).”
Did climatic seasonality control late Quaternary artiodactyl densities in western North America (2008, background): “…a mode-driven approach and think in terms of how mean annual climatic conditions may have varied through time and affected vertebrate faunas (e.g., Grayson, 1988, 1998, 2000a,b; Lupo and Schmitt, 1997; Hockett, 2000; Schmitt et al., 2002; Byers and Broughton, 2004; Wolverton, 2005; but see…”
Explaining the development of dietary dominance by a single ungulate taxon at Grotte XVI (2001, unknown): “An empirical example of this phenomenon under circumstances very different from those represented at Grotte XVI is provided by the small mammal faunal assemblages of Homestead Cave, located in the northeastern Great Basin of intermountain western North America and, more specifically, in the northern”
Radiocarbon chronologies and extinction dynamics of the Late Quaternary mammalian megafauna of the Taimyr Peninsula, Russian Federation (2002, background): “Marked climate change in western North America during roughly the same timespan eventually induced dramatic faunal changes in that area, as Grayson (2000) has recently detailed.”
Isolation and introgression in the Intermountain West: contrasting gene genealogies reveal the complex biogeographic history of the American pika (Ochotona princeps) (2010, background): “Location North America’s Intermountain West.”
On raptors and rodents: testing the ecological fidelity and spatiotemporal resolution of cave death assemblages (2010, background): “…averaging remain potential biasing factors ubiquitous across all systems, the ecological information recorded in small-mammal death assemblages may also be significantly affected by selectivity of a raptor’s feeding behavior or variable roost occupancy through time (e.g., Grayson 1981; Terry 2007).”
