DESCRIPTION:Fossil micromammals (including rodents\, insectivores\, and bat
 s) are key proxies for reconstructing past environments\, climates\, and c
 hronological frameworks. They are highly sensitive to environmental change
 s and are commonly well preserved in the fossil record.Their taxonomic div
 ersity\, combined with diagnostic morphological features\, allows for prec
 ise identification and robust quantitative analyses. Standard methodologie
 s integrate field recovery\, laboratory identification\, morphometric meas
 urements\, and statistical approaches to infer paleoecological and paleocl
 imatic conditions.The study of fossil small mammal assemblages enables the
  reconstruction of past habitats and the estimation of climatic parameters
  such as temperature and precipitation. In addition\, micromammals provide
  high-resolution biostratigraphic and biochronological frameworks based on
  patterns of faunal succession.A series of case studies illustrates the wi
 de range of applications and potential of micromammal-based research in bi
 ochronology and paleoenvironmental reconstruction.\nSpeaker: Claudio Berto
