• Characterizing complex craniodental patterns related to feeding behaviour in ungulates: a multivariate approach (2002, background): “…be very fragmentary in many fossil assemblages (e.g. those collected by hyaenids, due to the bone-cracking activities of these carnivores; see Palmqvist, MartãÂnez & Arribas, 1996; Arribas & Palmqvist, 1998; Palmqvist & Arribas, 2001) and only small pieces of the skull and mandible are available.”
• Tracing the ecophysiology of ungulates and predator–prey relationships in an early Pleistocene large mammal community (2008, background): “brevirostris, had a body and skull 20% larger than in modern spotted hyenas 515 (Crocuta crocuta) and was well-adapted for destroying carcasses and consuming bones (Arribas 516 and Palmqvist, 1998; Palmqvist and Arribas, 2001).”
• Homo vs. Pachycrocuta: Earliest evidence of competition for an elephant carcass between scavengers at Fuente Nueva-3 (Orce, Spain) (2013, background): “The reason is that if they had foraged in groups, as spotted hyenas often do (Kruuk, 1972), the members of the hyena clan would have transported all the anatomical regions of each carcass scavenged and large ungulate species would then be represented in the assemblage by similar numbers of postcrani”
• The giant hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris: Modelling the bone-cracking behavior of an extinct carnivore (2011, methodology): “…of the distal limb segments indicates a less cursorial life style for P. brevirostris compared to the living hyenas, although it certainly provided greater power and more stability to dismember and carry large pieces of ungulate carcasses to the denning sites (Palmqvist and Arribas, 2001).”
• A RE-EVALUATION OF THE DIVERSITY OF MEGANTEREON (MAMMALIA, CARNIVORA, MACHAIRODONTINAE) AND THE PROBLEM OF SPECIES IDENTIFICATION IN EXTINCT CARNIVORES (2007, background): “…specialized anatomy, was extinction, although whether this species was a strict scavenger (Palmqvist et al., 1996; Arribas and Palmqvist, 1998; Palmqvist and Arribas, 2001) or a less specialized hunter and scavenger in the manner of the modern spotted hyenas, Crocuta crocuta, that replaced it…”
