  • Latitudinal patterns in the relationship between body size change and extinction risk in insular mammals.(Basic to intermediate knowledge of R or willingness to learn it is required).

 

  • Late Pleistocene remains of Megatheriidae (Mammalia, Pilosa) and Glyptodontidae (Mammalia, Cingulata) from the Province of Córdoba, Argentina: taxonomy and biochronology.

 

  • Late Miocene gazelles (Bovidae, Antilopini) from Maragheh (Northwestern Iran): taxonomy and palaeobiogeography.

 

  • A reappraisal of the biochronology of the Eocene Geiseltal Konservat-Lagerstätte (Germany).
