Taxonomic and biogeographical status of guanaco Lama guanicoe (Artiodactyla, Camelidae) (2006, background): “…HISTORY OF THE GUANACO Origin, evolution and dispersion The guanaco as a member of the tribe Lamini evolved together with the genera Palaeolama and Vicugna from the feeder-browser Hemiauchenia approximately two million years ago in South America (López Aranguren, 1930; Webb, 1972; Feranec, 2003).”
Palaeoenvironments and palaeodiets of mid-Pliocene micromammals from Makapansgat Limeworks, South Africa: A stable isotope and dental microwear approach (2006, background): “The study of dental morphology has also been used as an indication of dietary adaptations, although it has been shown that generalist adaptations may mask specific dietary behaviour (Feranec, 2003).”
Dining in the Pleistocene : Who's on the menu? (2005, result): “Previous studies have made progress in understanding the feeding ecology of many of these species, both herbivorous and carnivorous (e.g., Koch et al., 1998; Feranec and MacFadden, 2000; Feranec, 2003, 2004; Palmqvist et al., 2003; Coltrain et al., 2004).”
Hypsodonty in ungulates: an adaptation for grass consumption or for foraging in open habitat? (2008, background): “…in palaeontology as an indicator of the feeding preferences and/or habitat selection of extinct ungulates (e.g. Janis, Damuth & Theodor, 2000, 2002; Feranec, 2002, 2003; Jernvall & Fortelius, 2002; Fortelius et al., 2003; Hopkins, 2003; Palmqvist et al., 2003; Bargo, De Iuliis & Vizcaı́no, 2006;…”
The species richness of Miocene browsers, and implications for habitat type and primary productivity in the North American grassland biome (2004, background): “33] reported by Janis, 1988, based on unworn third molars, with those obtained by Feranec [2003] for the same species [1.”
Isotopic dietary reconstructions of Pliocene herbivores at Laetoli: Implications for early hominin paleoecology (2007, background): “Studies of extinct herbivores suggests that morphological adaptations, including hypsodonty, generally interpreted as specialization into a grazing niche, may in fact reflect a widening of the niche breadth that allowed grazing as well as browsing (Perez-Barberia et al., 2001; Feranec, 2003).”
Coevolution of Tooth Crown Height and Diet in Oreodonts (Merycoidodontidae, Artiodactyla) Examined with Phylogenetically Independent Contrasts (2006, background): “Feeding ecology, dispersal, and extinction of South American Pleistocene gomphotheres (Gomphotheriidae, Proboscidea).”
Linking Top-Down Forces to the Pleistocene Megafaunal Extinctions (2010, background): “Similarly, stable isotope analyses of Pleistocene large herbivores (mammoth, horse, bison, camel) document shifts from eating predominantly C3 browse species to C4 grasses and sedges over time and across space (figure 4; Feranec 2003, 2004).”
