• Life in proto‐Amazonia: Middle Miocene mammals from the Fitzcarrald Arch (Peruvian Amazonia) (2015, background): “Stable isotope analyses on Pleistocene toxodonts, on the other hand, show a latitudinal shift in their diet preferences that ranged from C3 forest browsers in Amazonia to specialized C4 grazers in northern Argentina (MacFadden 2005).”
• Phylogeny of the Notoungulata (Mammalia) based on cranial and dental characters (2011, background): “been found in association with human remains (MacFadden 2005).”
• Megafauna extinction in South America: A new chronology for the Argentine Pampas (2015, background): “This value agrees well with the ones observed by MacFadden (MacFadden, 2005) for Toxodon from this area.”
• Megafauna extinction, tree species range reduction, and carbon storage in Amazonian forests (2016, background): “…(3500 kg), the gomphothere Stegomastodon (6000 kg), the rhino-like Toxodon (1100 kg), and Trigonodops lopesi (1600 kg) (Sanchez et al. 2004, MacFadden 2005); other possible herbivores from that period include Catagonus stenocephalus, Glyptotherium cylindricum, Holmesina paulacoutoi,…”
• A NEW BASAL GLYPTODONTID AND OTHER XENARTHRA OF THE EARLY MIOCENE CHUCAL FAUNA, NORTHERN CHILE (2007, background): “The high proportion of hypsodont ungulates at Chucal suggests a relatively open habitat (e.g., savanna grassland; but see MacFadden, 2005 and Townsend and Croft, 2005, in press, for examples of nongrazing hypsodont notoungulates), an interpretation further supported by the abundance of high-crowned…”
