A paleoecological paradox: the habitat and dietary preferences of the extinct tethythere Desmostylus, inferred from stable isotope analysis.
Paleobiology 29(4): 506-519. 2 tabs. 4 figs. Fall 2003 (mailed Oct. 27, 2003).
–Carbon, oxygen, and strontium isotope compositions of enamel from Desmostylus (Middle Mioc., California) indicated a probable diet of aquatic vegetation and an estuarine or freshwater habitat.
