====Proboscidean research====
* Evidence from tooth enamel of a [[Biology:Straight-tusked elephant|straight-tusked elephant]] specimen from the [[Physics:Marine isotope stages#Stages|MIS 12]] site Marathousa 1 (Greece), interpreted as indicating that the studied individual (as well as the hominins that processed its carcass) lived in stable environmental conditions with sufficient plant cover and limited seasonality, is presented by Roditi ''et al.''

* Li ''et al.'' (2024) describe new fossil material of ''Pliorhinus ringstroemi'' from the Miocene deposits from the Linxia Basin (China), providing new information on the skeletal anatomy of this species, interpret ''P. ringstroemi'' as a distinct species related to ''P. megarhinus'' and ''P. miguelcrusafonti'', and argue that ''Pliorhinus'' might have originated in Asia and migrated to Europe at the latest Miocene.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Li |first1=S. |last2=Sanisidro |first2=O. |last3=Wang |first3=S. |last4=Yang |first4=R. |last5=Deng |first5=T. |year=2024 |title=New materials of ''Pliorhinus ringstroemi'' from the Linxia Basin (Late Miocene, eastern Asia) and their taxonomical and evolutionary implications |journal=Journal of Mammalian Evolution |volume=31 |at=6 |doi=10.1007/s10914-023-09698-w }}</ref>
* A study on the fossil record of Miocene and Pliocene horses from the Upper Bone Valley Formation (Florida, {{wipe|United States}}) is published by Killingsworth & MacFadden (2024), who interpret their findings as indicating that both sampling bias and ecological causes might be responsible for the presence or absence of different horse taxa at fossil sites.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Killingsworth |first1=S.

* Ferrero ''et al.''

* Fernández-Monescillo & Tauber (2024) report evidence indicative of decline in the size and body mass in the last known population of ''[[Biology:Mesotherium|Mesotherium cristatum]]'' from the Bonaerian of the Corralito site (Argentina), interpreted as related to environmental changes in South America during the Pleistocene which caused reduction of the distribution area of ''M. cristatum''.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Fernández-Monescillo |first1=M. |last2=Tauber |first2=A.

* Carneiro ''et al.''
