Insights on the evolution and adaptation toward high-altitude and cold environments in the snow leopard lineage Integrated morphology, fossil records, and SDM reveal the evolution and adaptation in the snow leopard lineage.

This work reveals the tremendous taxonomic diversity that Western Europe reached during the Pleistocene, and how elusive the fossil record of some species such as the musk ox, the saiga or the snow leopard itself can be.

This is wild!🧪 Two very different hominin species (Homo erectus and Paranthropus boisei) potentially coexisting and maybe interacting in eastern Africa, ca. 1.5mya, as suggested by different gaits seized in footprints. This whole thread by the lead author of the study is very informative.
