项目摘要
This doctoral dissertation project examines the early diversification of apes within the broader context of mammalian community evolution. Leveraging rich fossil collections, the investigators characterize mammal assemblages from multiple, well-studied localities to examine how time, space and environmental factors impacted mammalian community structure. The scientific importance of this project lies in providing a comparative backdrop of mammalian evolution to better understand the ecological setting for major adaptations in the ape and human lineage. More broadly, this project can have significant impacts for science and society by expanding participation in science through graduate training and research opportunities for undergraduate students from groups underrepresented in STEM research. A relational database of paleontological data assembled through this project is planned for public distribution to scientists and educators via the Data Repository at the University of Minnesota (DRUM). Other results will be made available through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations, and public outreach opportunities aimed at providing scientific engagement at public schools and museums. The early divergence of ape lineages, during which several major adaptive characteristics of the ape-human clade were established, is primarily recorded in the early Miocene (ca. 23-16 Ma). Although fossil apes from this time have been the subject of intense study, little work has been done to properly situate the diversity of these species within the broader context of mammalian community evolution. This project asks the central question: how did environment, time, and geographic distance influence the structure of early Miocene mammalian communities? Using large fossil assemblages, this project pursues four specific questions: 1) do fossil assemblages from major collecting areas represent differences in mammalian community structure? 2) do changes in mammalian community structure track environmental differences inferred from associated paleoecological proxies? 3) are mammalian community structures most similar among assemblages that are closest in age? and 4) does similarity in mammalian community structure decrease with increasing geographic distance between assemblages? These questions are addressed by analyzing the mammalian community structure across 13 fossil localities that are already well-characterized in terms of age and paleoenvironment. By situating mammalian community succession within temporal, geographic, and environmental contexts, this project can inform our understanding of how these factors influenced changes among mammal species, thereby clarifying the ecological parameters within which major adaptations in the ape and human lineage arose.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
该博士学位论文项目研究了在哺乳动物社区进化的更广泛背景下猿类的早期多样化。调查人员利用丰富的化石收集,描述了来自多个,经过深入研究的地区的哺乳动物组合,以研究时间,空间和环境因素如何影响哺乳动物的社区结构。该项目的科学重要性在于提供哺乳动物进化的比较背景,以更好地了解猿类和人类谱系主要适应的生态环境。更广泛地说,该项目通过通过研究生培训和研究机会来扩大科学和社会的研究机会,从而对科学和社会产生重大影响。通过明尼苏达大学(DRUM)的数据存储库,计划通过该项目组装的古生物数据数据库,以向科学家和教育工作者分发。其他结果将通过同行评审的出版物,会议演讲以及旨在在公立学校和博物馆提供科学参与的公共宣传机会。猿类谱系的早期差异在此期间主要记录在中新世早期(大约23-16 MA)中。尽管从那时起的化石猿一直是激进研究的主题,但在更广泛的哺乳动物社区进化的背景下,几乎没有做任何工作来正确地将这些物种的多样性适当地置于。该项目提出了一个核心问题:环境,时间和地理距离如何影响中新世早期哺乳动物社区的结构?使用大型化石组合,该项目提出了四个具体问题:1)主要收集区域的化石组合是否代表哺乳动物社区结构的差异? 2)哺乳动物社区结构的变化是否跟踪相关的古生态代理推断出的环境差异? 3)在年龄最接近的组合中,哺乳动物社区结构是否最相似? 4)哺乳动物社区结构的相似性是否随着组合之间的地理距离的增加而降低?这些问题是通过分析已经在年龄和古环境方面已经充分表征的13个化石地区的哺乳动物社区结构来解决的。通过将哺乳动物社区的继承置于时间,地理和环境环境中,该项目可以告知我们对这些因素如何影响哺乳动物物种之间的变化的理解,从而阐明了猿类和人类血统的主要适应的生态参数,这是NSF奖励的审查,反映了NSF的法规和审查的范围,这是通过评估的范围来进行的。
