| Abstract | Understanding plant and animal responses to environmental change across space and time remains a longstanding question in biology, with pressing relevance in today’s rapidly changing world. The fossil record provides key information about the influence of climate and landscape on species ecology and evolutionary history; however, parts of the fossil record remain vastly understudied. Small mammals, such as rodents, are challenging to study in the fossil record, yet as a diverse group of early re |
