Rediscovery and stratigraphic calibration of the classic Nihewan Fauna, Hebei Province, China

Arya Farjand et al.

Summary: By rediscovering the original excavation localities and conducting a comprehensive inspection of the Tianjin Natural History Museum collection, the authors successfully determined the precise provenance and stratigraphic horizon of the classic Nihewan Fauna. Through a review of the original description of these fossil localities, using satellite images, and subsequent lithological examination of the Xiashagou strata, new findings were confirmed. The survey provided the first stratigraphic profile calibrated with fossil horizons, estimating an age of approximately 2.4-1.8 Ma for the classic Nihewan Fauna.

Zoogeographic significance of Dmanisi large mammal assemblage

Saverio Bartolini-Lucenti et al.

Summary: This study compares the zoogeographic distribution of mammal assemblages to reveal similarities between the Dmanisi Early Pleistocene large mammal community and similar-aged sites in Africa, Arabia, and Eurasia. The analysis suggests a progressive dispersal of large mammal communities from east to west during the late Early Pleistocene, with Dmanisi showing the closest resemblance to certain locations in Greece, Italy, and Spain. The habitats at Dmanisi consisted of drier areas, likely open wooded savannah and grassland, as well as mountainous to semiarid rocky terrain.

A comparative study of the Early Pleistocene carnivore guild from Dmanisi (Georgia)

Summary: The carnivore guild of the Early Pleistocene site of Dmanisi is highly similar to the late Villafranchian sites in Europe but shows less resemblance to African or Asian assemblages.

Cave canem! The earliest Canis (Xenocyon) (Canidae, Mammalia) of Europe: Taxonomic affinities and paleoecology of the fossil wild dogs

Saverio Bartolini-Lucenti et al.

Summary: The discovery of Canis (Xenocyon) fossils dating back to 2.6 million years ago in France suggests early presence of hypercarnivorous canids in western Europe, with distinctive dentognathic adaptations indicating predatory behavior.

Middle Pleistocene Xenocyon lycaonoides Kretzoi, 1938 in northeastern China and the evolution of Xenocyon-Lycaon lineage

Qigao Jiangzuo et al.

Summary: This study reports the discovery of well-preserved Xenocyon lycaonoides fossils in northeastern China, confirming the presence of this species in Eastern Asia during the early Middle Pleistocene. Morphological analysis suggests that the Middle Pleistocene X. lycaonoides is different from the late Early Pleistocene population and distinct from the living Lycaon pictus. The study also supports the generic distinction between Xenocyon and Lycaon. X. lycaonoides is not the direct ancestor of Lycaon but rather a related taxon that existed in Eurasia and North America.

The diversification of the lynx lineage during the Plio-Pleistocene-evidence from a new small Lynx from Longdan, Gansu Province, China

Qigao Jianzuo et al.

Summary: A new small-sized lynx species has been discovered in Longdan, Gansu Province, China. This species differs from previously described lynx species in terms of size and certain traits. Phylogenetic analysis suggests that this new species is closely related to Lynx rufus or possibly Lynx issiodorensis and three other living lynx species. The study also suggests that the ancestor of Lynx lynx, Lynx pardinus, and Lynx canadensis is the Plio-Pleistocene Lynx issiodorensis. The diversification of lynx species during the Plio-Pleistocene was initially driven by body size differentiation.

Guilds of large carnivorans during the Pleistocene of Europe: a community structure analysis based on foraging strategies

George E. Konidaris

Summary: This study investigates the community structure, dynamics, and evolution of large carnivoran guilds during the Pleistocene in Europe. Results show minimal niche overlap among large predators, indicating competition avoidance through occupying different niches. The major guild remodeling occurred during the Early/Middle Pleistocene transition, potentially due to extinctions of previously dominant carnivorans and the arrival of new immigrants.

The giant short-faced hyena Pachycrocuta brevirostris (Mammalia, Carnivora, Hyaenidae) from Northeast Asia: A reinterpretation of subspecies differentiation and intercontinental dispersal

Jinyi Liu et al.

Summary: The giant short-faced hyena, Pachycrocuta brevirostris, was the largest bone-cracking hyena that ever existed, with iconic craniodental adaptations. A new discovery in China slightly surpassed the previous holotype in size, challenging the conventional concept of population or subspecies. Thorough comparative studies indicated that the European morphotype of Pachycrocuta brevirostris brevirostris appeared in Northeast Asia, suggesting a temporal rather than geographical significance in differentiation.

The early hunting dog from Dmanisi with comments on the social behaviour in Canidae and hominins

Saverio Bartolini-Lucenti et al.

Summary: The paper reports on the discovery of early carnivorous canid fossils at the Dmanisi site, showing highly cooperative pack-hunting features and social care towards group members. This evolved hypercarnivorous canid from East Asia has one of its earliest records in the Caucasus at Dmanisi, dispersing towards Europe and Africa in a parallel route to hominins. The altruistic behavior towards group members by early Pleistocene hominins and hunting dogs is a topic discussed in evolutionary biology for over a century.

Geographical and chronological distribution of Chinese Pleistocene large canids: Current status and prospects

Qigao Jiangzuo

Summary: The Pleistocene large canids in China show that there is greater diversity in the northern region compared to the southern region throughout the Pleistocene. The early Pleistocene has the highest diversity for large canids, especially in northern China. The Middle and Late Pleistocene large canid guild in China shows great similarity to that of Europe, with almost all species shared by both regions.
