How could sympatric megaherbivores coexist? Example of niche partitioning within a proboscidean community from the Miocene of Europe.

Die Naturwissenschaften - 1 Sept 2008

Calandra Ivan, Göhlich Ursula B, Merceron Gildas

Abstract excerpt

Although low in diversity, megaherbivores (mammals weighting over 10(3) kg) and especially proboscideans have a powerful impact on the structure and dynamics of present-day ecosystems. During the Neogene (23 to 2.6 Ma) of Europe, the diversity and geographic distribution of these megaherbivores was much greater. Nonetheless, their role in past ecosystems is unclear. Nutrition is one of the main bonds between...
