Fluctuating climate and dietary innovation drove ratcheted evolution of proboscidean dental traits

This file contains all the raw data as used in the analyses of Saarinen and Lister (2023), apart from Proboscidean supertree data that has been published before in Cantalapiedra et al. (2021). The data contain dental morphometric measurements and dental mesowear angle measurements of East African fossil and extant Proboscidea from 26 million years to present, as well as contextual paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatological proxy data gathered from published literature sources (and referenced in the tables where appropriate).

本文件包含了Saarinen与Lister（2023）的分析研究所使用的全部原始数据，仅排除了此前由Cantalapiedra等人（2021）已发表的长鼻目（Proboscidea）超树数据集。本数据集涵盖了距今2600万年至今的东非化石与现生长鼻目类群的牙齿形态测量数据、牙齿磨蚀角（dental mesowear angle）测量数据，同时包含从已发表文献中收集的相关古环境与古气候代用指标数据，并在合适的表格中注明了引用来源。
