The Guild of Large, Predatory Mammals The ecological concept of guild was first de-fined by Root (1967: p. 335) as „a group of spe-cies that exploit the same class of environmen-tal resources

Teeth are generally the best-preserved elements among mammal fossil remains and are highly diagnostic characters. Consequently, much mammalian paleontological, systematic, and

Trophic cascadesâ the top-down regulation of ecosystems by predatorsâ are an essential aspect of ecosystem function and well-being. Trophic cascades are often drastically

To test this, we studied the prey species composition, diet overlap, trophic level, and trophic organisation of 12 large predatory fishes co-existing in the eastern Arabian Sea.

Here we analyze a comprehensive dataset of 515 large mammal communities across the Earth’s tropics and subtropics and show that present-day diversity patterns are codetermined by both past and present factors. Although
