Tale of two rhinos: isotopic ecology, paleodiet, and niche differentiation of Aphelops and Teleoceras from the Florida Neogene

Teleoceras ecology is locality- and species-dependent: Florida isotope data favor principally terrestrial populations, whereas the 11.86 Ma Ashfall T. major sample shows limited mobility and supports wet-habitat or semi-aquatic interpretation.

Teleoceras is treated as a North American rhinocerotid genus, while the strongest Ashfall conclusions are restricted to T. major.

The evidence profile represents North American Florida and Nebraska study populations rather than a complete occurrence map for Teleoceras.
