Water under the bridge: Aquatic environments and crepuscular-cathemeral intermediates facilitate temporal niche transitions in artiodactyls

Amelia Mesich, Maxwell E. R. Shafer

The paper tests the crepuscular-cathemeral bridge hypothesis by comparing activity patterns in aquatic and terrestrial artiodactyls, finding support for the bridge and distinct roles of crepuscularity and cathemerality.
