ProtheroFrontmatterMore InformationThe Evolution of North American RhinocerosesThe family Rhinocerotidae has a long and amazing history inNorth America. From its first appearance about 40 million yearsago, it diversified into an incredible array of taxa, with a varietyof ecologies that don’t resemble any of the five living species.They range from delicate long-legged dog-sized forms, to hugehippo-like forms that apparently lived in rivers and lakes.This book includes a systematic review of the entire family ofNorth American Rhinocerotidae, with complete descriptions,measurements, and figures of every bone in every species - thefirst such review in over a century. More importantly, it discussesthe biogeographic patterns of rhinos, their evolutionary patternsand paleoecology, and what rhinos tell us about the evolution ofNorth American landscapes and faunas over 35 million years.It is a complete and authoritative volume that will be a referenceof interest to a variety of scientists for years to come.DONALD R. PROTHERO is Chair and Professor of Geology atOccidental College in Los Angeles, California and Lecturer inGeobiology at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena,California. He is the author or coeditor of 17 books, includingtextbooks, research volumes, and trade books. He has alsopublished over 200 scientific papers on topics as diverse asmammalian paleontology (specializing in extinct North Americanrhinoceroses, horses, and camels), magnetic stratigraphy,climatic changes and extinctions of the Cenozoic,micropaleontology and chert petrography. He is on the editorialboard of Geology magazine, and serves on the PenroseConference Committee of the Geological Society of America. In2000, he was Vice-President of the Pacific Section of the Societyfor Sedimentary Geology, and from 1998 to 2003 he served asProgram Chair for the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. In1991 he received the Schuchert Award of the PaleontologicalSociety for the outstanding paleontologist under the age of 40. in this web service Cambridge University Presswww.cambridge.org

We first show that branched rough paths can equivalently be defined as γ-Hölder continuous paths in some Lie group, akin to geometric rough paths. We then show that every branched rough path can be encoded in a geometric rough path. More precisely, for every branched rough path Xlying above apathX .
