(submitted to Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology) Samenvatting (Summary in Dutch) Samenvatting (Summary in Dutch) Het onderzoek aan fossiele kleine zoogdieren is in de jaren 60 in een stroomversnelling geraakt, toen ontdekt werd dat grate hoeveelheden gebitselementen konden worden verkregen door grondmonsters te onderwerpen aan de techniek van het "nat zeven". Met het uitwerken van de taxonomie werd al snel duidelijk dat met name knaagdieren zeer geschikt zijn voor het bedrijven van continentale biostratigrafie, hetgeen te danken is aan de hoge diagnostische waarde van hun gebitselementen en aan hun snelle evolutie. Daarnaast worden vanaf het einde van de jaren 70 associaties van kleine zoogdieren steeds vaker gebruikt voor de reconstructies van paleomilieu en klimaat. Het onderzoek in Spaanse Neogene bekkens heeft hierbij een belangrijke ral gespeeld. De uitzonderlijke rijkdom aan zoogdierresten in de fossiele meerafzettingen van deze bekkens maken het opstellen van hoge resolutie stratigrafische opeenvolgingen mogelijk, hetgeen een absolute randvoorwaarde is om gedetailleerde fauna- en omgevingsveranderingen naar behoren te kunnen registreren. Het belangrijkste doel van dit proefschrift is de gedetailleerde reconstructie van trends en gebeurtenissen ("events") in fauna, omgeving en klimaat gedurende het laat Mioceen (Vallesien en Turolien) van Spanje. Ais onderzoeksgebied is gekozen het gebied tussen Teruel en Alfambra in het bekken van Teruel, noordoost Spanje. De keuze voor dit gebied is mede bepaald door het feit dat eerder onderzoek een solide taxonomisch en biostratigrafisch raamwerk had opgeleverd. Gedurende een reeks van veldwerkcampagnes in de jaren 90, in samenwerking met collega's van de Complutense Universiteit en het Nationaal Museum voor Natuurwetenschappen in Madrid, is het aantal vindplaatsen van fossiele kleine zoogdieren in het boven Mioceen praktisch verdubbeld. Dit heeft geresulteerd in een sequentie van 89 lokaliteiten, waarvan in totaal zo'n 20.000 gebitselementen zijn bestudeerd. De meeste van deze vindplaatsen bevinden zich in secties met meerdere fossielhoudende niveaus boven elkaar. Gedurende het onderzaek zijn vijf van deze profielen bemonsterd voor magnetostratigrafische analyse. De combinatie van de gevonden magnetische polariteitspatronen en de dateringen van zonegrenzen in andere Spaanse bekkens maakt een correlatie van de zoogdiersuccessie naar de geomagnetische polariteits tijdschaal (GPTS) mogelijk. De eerste stap na het verzamelen is de determinatie van de fossielen. Na een korte bespreking van de geologische setting van het onderzoeksgebied en de voornaamste lithologische aspecten van de fossielhoudende secties, worden in hoofdstuk 2 nieuwe range charts van de verschillende groepen kleine zoogdieren gepresenteerd. De gevonden knaagdieren, die het zwaartepunt van het onderzoek vormen, zijn zander veel problemen in reeds gedefinieerde soorten ingepast. De insekteneters en lagomorfen zijn tot op genusniveau gedetermineerd en de zeldzame vleermuizen tot op familieniveau. Het overzicht wordt gecomplementeerd met een range chart van de grote zoogdieren uit het onderzoeksgebied. Drie nieuwe lokale biostratigrafische subzones voor het boven Vallesien worden gedefinieerd op basis van muriden. Een groot deel van de lokaliteiten, 9 Samenvatting (Summary in Dutch) alsmede verschillende zone/etage grenzen worden gecorreleerd naar de numerieke tijdschaal. De resultaten voor de Masia de la Roma sectie zijn consistent met de ouderdom van 9.7 miljoenjaar geleden voor de Onder-Boven Vallesien (MN9-1O) grens, zoals die bepaald is in het Valles-Penedes bekken. De ouderdom van de Vallesien­ Turolien (MNlO-ll) grens is bepaald op 8.7 miljoenjaar geleden in de La Gloria sectie. Ouderdommen van twee andere subzone grenzen in het boven Vallesien zijn geschat op respectievelijk 9.3 en 9.0 miljoen jaar geleden. De magnetostratigrafische controle voor het midden en boven Turolien van het Teruel bekken is minder goed. Ouderdommen voor de vindplaatsen in dit traject zijn geschat door middel van biostratigrafische correlaties met secties in het Cabriel bekken. Hoofdstuk 3 beschrijft de stand van zaken voor wat betreft de taxonomie van de muriden (Muridae, muisachtigen), voor zover deze groep voorkomt in het boven Vallesien en onder Turolien van het Teruel-Alfambra gebied. De familie van de muriden de meest voorkomende groep kleine zoogdieren in het Mediterrane gebied gedurende het laat Mioceen en vroeg Plioceen. Het eerste regelmatige voorkomen van muriden in het Teruel bekken is gedateerd op ongeveer 9.6 miljoen jaar geleden. Verscheidene karakteristieken van de eerste bovenkaaksmolaar van deze vroegste muriden (Progonomys hispanicus) wijzen op een nauwe verwantschap met Progonomys cathalai, een iets grotere vorm die rond 9.3 miljoen jaar geleden in het gebied verschenen is. Met het identificeren van Parapodemus gaudryi in verschillende onder Turolien vindplaatsen is aangetoond dat de verspreiding van deze soort niet beperkt was tot zuidoost Europa. De oorsprong van de soort is niet helemaal duidelijk, maar het is aannemelijk dat Progonomys cathalai de directe voorouder was. Dit zou inhouden dat het genus Parapodemus polyphyletisch is (meerdere keren is onstaan). In hoofdstuk 4 wordt een nieuwe marrier besproken om vormvariatie in muridenkiezen te beschrijven. De methode gaat uit van van te voren gedefinieerde homologe punten ("landmarks") op het horizontaal geprojecteerde kauwvlak, waarvan de x en y coordinaten worden gemeten. De toepassing van verschillende op deze landmarks gebaseerde morphometrische technieken op een set van 250 eerste bovenkaaksmolaren van acht verschillende laat Miocene en Pliocene Spaanse associaties laat zien dat een clustering van populaties op grond van morphometrische parameters de taxonomische indeling redelijk goed, maar niet

    EURASIAN MIDDLE AND LATE MIOCENE HOMINOID PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY AND THE GEOGRAPHIC ORIGINS OF THE HOMININAE by Mariam C. Nargolwalla A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by M. Nargolwalla (2009) Eurasian Middle and Late Miocene Hominoid Paleobiogeography and the Geographic Origins of the Homininae Mariam C. Nargolwalla Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2009 Abstract The origin and diversification of great apes and humans is among the most researched and debated series of events in the evolutionary history of the Primates. A fundamental part of understanding these events involves reconstructing paleoenvironmental and paleogeographic patterns in the Eurasian Miocene; a time period and geographic expanse rich in evidence of lineage origins and dispersals of numerous mammalian lineages, including apes. Traditionally, the geographic origin of the African ape and human lineage is considered to have occurred in Africa, however, an alternative hypothesis favouring a Eurasian origin has been proposed. This hypothesis suggests that that after an initial dispersal from Africa to Eurasia at ~17Ma and subsequent radiation from Spain to China, fossil apes disperse back to Africa at least once and found the African ape and human lineage in the late Miocene. The purpose of this study is to test the Eurasian origin hypothesis through the analysis of spatial and temporal patterns of distribution, in situ evolution, interprovincial and intercontinental dispersals of Eurasian terrestrial mammals in response to environmental factors. Using the NOW and Paleobiology databases, together with data collected through survey and excavation of middle and late Miocene vertebrate localities in Hungary and Romania, taphonomic bias and sampling completeness of Eurasian faunas are assessed.

Palaeontology in the virtual era BOOK OF ABSTRACTS 6 4 PRESENTATION The 1st Palaeontological Virtual Congress (1st PVC) is just the natural consequence of the evolution of our surrounding world, with the emergence of new technologies that allow a wide range of communication possibilities. Within this context, the 1st PVC represents the frst attempt in palaeontology to take advantage of these new possibilites being the frst international palaeontology congress developed in a virtual environment. This online congress is pioneer in palaeontology, offering an exclusively virtual-developed environment to researchers all around the globe. The simplicity of this new format, giving international projection to the palaeontological research carried out by groups with limited economic resources (expensive registration fees, travel, accomodation and maintenance expenses), is one of our main achievements. This new format combines the benefts of traditional meetings (i.e., providing a forum for discussion, including guest lectures, feld trips or the production of an abstract book) with the advantages of the online platforms, which allow to reach a high number of researchers along the world, promoting the participation of palaeontologists from developing countries.

Patrons: Member of: __________________________________ Annual Report 2018 Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont WELCOME TO THE ICP Greetings from the Director _______________________________________________________________________ At the ICP we are convinced that Paleontology, as a discipline halfway between Biology and Geology, should make fundamental contributions not only to the history of life, but also to evolutionary theory. Therefore, the research performed at the ICP clearly follows a paleobiological approach. In other words, for us it is not enough to know how past living beings were and what are their kinship relationships with extant ones. We also aim to know how they lived, how they moved, what they ate, how they developed and reproduced, how they interacted with one another, what environment they inhabited and, ultimately, how past interactions between organisms and environment have shaped the ecosystems that we know today. It is precisely the access to deep time (or geological time, the one which is measured in millions and millions of years), by means of the study of fossil remains, what provides Paleobiology with a unique perspective of utmost importance for understanding why and how living beings have evolved in relation to the environment than surrounds them through Earth’s history.

ABSTRACT The development of hypsodonty in the Cricetulodon hartenbergeri – Cricetulodon sabadellensis- Rotundomys montisro- tundi – Rotundomys bressanus lineage is studied using patch analysis. The lower second molar of a sample of each species is scanned using a 3D laser scanner. Then, the scans are processed with GIS software which provides orientation maps of the slopes of the occlusal surface. Contiguous points with the same orientation are grouped into a ‘patch’ that represents a functional structure of the molar crown, so the number of patches relates to dental complexity. This parameter is found to decrease in the lineage coupled with increased crown height. This is interpreted as a result of the evolution of crown planation and loss of cusp interlocking in Rotundomys.

(Part 2) As for Part 1, see http://www.weloennig.de/Giraffe.pdf Some Questions, Facts and Quotations to Supplement Part 1 Repetitio est mater studiorum –Repetition is the best teacher (literally: the mother of studies) Summary Introduction: the story which is commonly taught in high schools about the evolution of the long- necked giraffe by natural selection (feeding-competition-hypothesis) fails to explain, among other things, the size differences between males and females. Giraffe cows are up to 1.5 meters shorter than the giraffe bulls, not to mention the offspring. The wide migration range of the giraffe and the low heights of the most common plants in their diet likewise argue against the dominant selection hypothesis. Now to the main points: 1) The fossil „links“, which according to the theory should appear successively and replace each other, usually exist simultaneously for long periods of time. 2) Evolutionary derivations based on similarities rely on circular reasoning (to refer once more to Kuhn's statement) 3) The giraffe has eight cervical vertebrae. Although the 8th vertebra displays almost all the characteristics of a neck vertebra, as an exception to the rule the first rib pair is attached there.
