• Isotopic dietary reconstructions of Pliocene herbivores at Laetoli: Implications for early hominin paleoecology (2007, background): “Evolutionary patterns of this family have been linked specifically to environmental change and faunal turnover during the Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene of Africa (Vrba, 1985, 1995; Bobe and Eck, 2001; Alemseged, 2003).”
• The Fossil Record and Evolution of Bovidae: State of the Field (2009, background): “Changing proportions of alcelaphines and antilopines at late Pliocene hominid sites provide a main support for the hypothesis that Homo and Paranthropus originated during a major drying trend between 2.8–2.0Ma (Vrba 1985; Bobe and Eck 2001).”
• Hominins without fellow travellers? First appearances and inferred dispersals of Afro-Eurasian large-mammals in the Plio-Pleistocene (2011, unknown): “5 Ma) (Vrba, 1995a; Bobe and Eck, 2001) and Omo L45 (2.”
• The expansion of grassland ecosystems in Africa in relation to mammalian evolution and the origin of the genus Homo (2004, methodology): “Additionally, collection methods in the Omo (Bobe and Eck, 2001) increase the likelihood that perceived changes in the fauna reflect factors other than taphonomic or collection biases, i.e., real biological processes.”
• The species richness of Miocene browsers, and implications for habitat type and primary productivity in the North American grassland biome (2004, background): “Modified from Bobe and Eck (2001). C.”
• Long-Term Stasis in Ecological Assemblages: Evidence from the Fossil Record* (2004, background): “The two most abundant species of the dominant family (Bovidae) co-occur throughout the interval from about 3.5 Mya to 2.0 Mya, with Aepyceros shungurae (early impala) and Tragelaphus nakuae (similar to bongo) alternating in first and second place (Bobe & Eck 2001).”
• The evolution of arid ecosystems in eastern Africa (2006, background): “The second shift at around 3Ma may be an expression of a similar shift documented in the Omo region at about 2.8Ma (Bobe and Eck, 2001; Bobe et al., 2002; Bobe and Behrensmeyer, 2004).”
