The “Living Fossil” Peccary, Catagonus wagneri (Tayassuidae), and Its Climatic Significance during the Pleistocene and Holocene
(Centre Studies First Americans, 2011-02)
The Tayassuidae first expanded their range into North America from Eurasia and then extended into South America during the “Great American Biotic Interchange,” becoming one of the first North American mammalian immigrants. ...
First Fossil Assemblage of Darkling Beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from Buenos Aires, Argentina: Evidence of Dry Climate during the Late Pleistocene in the Humid Pampas
(Polish Academy of Sciences, 2016-12)
Late Pleistocene outcrops exposed in Buenos Aires province, Argentina, represent one of the most informative sources for paleoecological studies on South American fauna and flora. Several proxies have been used for studying ...

(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-03)
While the Ensenadan Stage/Age (ca. 2.1 to 0.5 Ma) was characterized by certain mammal associations in the Pampean plains, the Andean ranges of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, their piedmont areas and, in some cases, the ...
Pleistocene human dispersals: Climate, ecology and social behavior
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017-02)
The modern history of thinking about the origin of species hasbeen dominated by the relationship between environments -andtheir changes- and the process of speciation. Darwin's originalargument for evolution by means of ...
Late Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation changes in northeastern Brazil determined from carbon isotopes and charcoal records in soils
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Northeastern Brazil represents a strategic area in terms of Quaternary records of environmental changes in South America due to its distinct semi-arid climate in near equatorial latitudes. In this study, carbon isotope and ...
Effects of Pleistocene climate changes on species ranges and evolutionary processes in the Neotropical Atlantic Forest
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-12)
The effects of global glaciations on the distribution of organisms is an essential element of many diversification models. However, the empirical evidence supporting this idea is mixed, in particular with respect to ...
