Ancient feeding ecology inferred from stable isotopic evidence from fossil horses in South America over the past 3 Ma

BACKGROUND: Stable isotope ratios ((13)C/(12)C and (18)O/(16)O) in fossil teeth and bone provide key archives for understanding the ecology of extinct horses during the Plio-Pleistocene in South America; however, what happened in areas of sympatry between Equus (Amerhippus) and Hippidion is less und...
