• The antiquity of Madagascar’s grasslands and the rise of C4 grassy biomes (2008, background): “Equid diversity declined with the appearance of C4 vegetation in North America (MacFadden, 2000) and bovid (antelope) radiation in Africa lagged several million years after the spread of C4 grassy biomes with significant numbers of grazers only appearing after 3 Myr bp (deMenocal, 2004).”
• Dining in the Pleistocene : Who's on the menu? (2005, background): “These compositions are generally consistent with other studies of Pleistocene herbivores from Florida (Koch et al., 1998; Feranec and MacFadden, 2000; Feranec, 2003).”
• Characterizing complex craniodental patterns related to feeding behaviour in ungulates: a multivariate approach (2002, background): “…HI = 3.1 and 2.3, respectively), of late Hemphillian age (~5 Ma) from Florida were principally mixed-feeders or C3 browsers according to their tooth microwear data and enamel isotopic signature, respectively (MacFadden & Shockey, 1997; MacFadden, 1998, 2000; MacFadden, Soulinas & Cerling, 1999).”
• Feeding ecology, dispersal, and extinction of South American Pleistocene gomphotheres (Gomphotheriidae, Proboscidea) (2004, background): “…carbon isotope ratio (d13C) of fossil teeth and bones can be used to obtain dietary information about extinct herbivores (De Niro and Epstein 1978; Vogel 1978; Sullivan and Krueger 1981; Lee-Thorp et al. 1989, 1994; Koch et al. 1990, 1994; Quade et al. 1992; Cerling et al. 1997; MacFadden 2000a).”
• Hypsodonty in ungulates: an adaptation for grass consumption or for foraging in open habitat? (2008, background): “Therefore, the relationship between grass consumption and hypsodonty deduced by Williams & Kay (2001) and other authors (e.g. Janis, 1988; Solounias & Dawson-Saunders, 1988; MacFadden, 2000) most likely arises from the correspondence between grazing and foraging in open habitats.”
• Holocene vegetation change and the mammal faunas of South America and Africa (2004, background): “…is associated with the radiation of several herbivore lineages both in South America and Africa; at the end of the Miocene, when grasslands retreated, extinction of part of these lineages followed suit, at least in South America (Patterson & Pascual, 1972; Janis, 1993; Vrba, 1993; MacFadden, 2000).”
• Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change (2009, background): “Croft 2001, MacFadden 2000; 54.”
• DISTURBANCE BY FIRE FREQUENCY AND BISON GRAZING MODULATE GRASSHOPPER ASSEMBLAGES IN TALLGRASS PRAIRIE (2005, background): “In North American tallgrass prairie, bison (Bos bison L.) and now domesticated cattle are the most notable recent grazers, although a diverse grazing fauna populated the region as recent as 10 000 years ago (MacFadden 2000).”
• Cranial morphology and dietary habits of rodents (2009, background): “…orientated incisor blade results in a wider cutting surface and consequently a better structure for acquiring vegetation; it accomplishes the same result seen in the increased muzzle width of grazing ungulates (Janis & Ehrhardt, 1988; Janis, 1995; MacFadden, 2000; Mendoza et al., 2002).”
