Insights into the evolutionary dynamics of Neotropical biomes from the phylogeography and paleodistribution modeling of Bromelia balansae
(2018-10-01)
Premise of the Study: Historical abiotic and biotic factors have strongly affected species diversification and speciation. Although pre-Pleistocene events have been linked to the divergence of several Neotropical organisms, ...
Systematics and cryptic diversification of Leptodactylus frogs in the Brazilian campo rupestre
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-12-23)
The campo rupestre is a unique mountaintop ecosystem in eastern South America, recognised for its endemism and as ecological refugia for plant and animal taxa. Multiple clades of frogs are represented in the Brazilian campo ...
Effects of climatic oscillations on the faunas. The Holocene Thermal Maximum and the displacement of armadillos in Argentina: Anatomical features and conservation
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
The Dasypodidae (commonly known as armadillos) are exclusively from the Americas and have a long evolutionary history on the continents. They were frequently consumed by hunter-gatherers in the past and they are consumed ...

Late Quaternary Cuiabá megafan, Brazilian Pantanal: Channel patterns and paleoenvironmental changes
(2017-05-05)
The Brazilian Pantanal wetlands comprise some of the largest Quaternary megafans in South America. The origin of these megafans has been linked to climate changes during the Late Quaternary. This study focuses on the Cuiabá ...
Vegetation, climate and fire regime changes in the Andean region of southern Chile (38°S) covaried with centennial-scale climate anomalies in the tropical Pacific over the last 1500 years
(2012)
Pollen and charcoal analysis from Laguna San Pedro (38°26'S, 71°19'W), a small closed-basin lake located within the present-day distribution of Araucaria- Nothofagus forest in the Temperate-Mediterranean Transition zone ...
Changes in biomass burning mark the onset an ENSO-influenced climate regime at 42°S in southwest Tasmania, Australia
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)
© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. We use macroscopic charcoal and sediment geochemistry analysis of two proximal upper montane lakes located at 42°S in southwest Tasmania, Australia, to test the role of the southern hemisphere westerly ...
Late Pleistocene and Holocene chitons (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) from Uruguay: Palaeobiogeography and palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in mid latitudes of the southwestern Atlantic
(Elsevier Masson, 2011-07)
Here we present a revision of the fossil record of chitons (Mollusca, Polyplacophora) of Late Pleistocene and Holocene marine deposits of Uruguay and discuss their potential for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Chitons ...
Changes in biomass burning mark the onset of an ENSO-influenced climate regime at 42 degrees S in southwest Tasmania, Australia
(Elsevier, 2015)
We use macroscopic charcoal and sediment geochemistry analysis of two proximal upper montane lakes located at 42 degrees S in southwest Tasmania, Australia, to test the role of the southern hemisphere westerly winds (SWW) ...
Connection, isolation and reconnection: Quaternary climatic oscillations and the Andes shaped the phylogeographical patterns of the Patagonian bee Centris cineraria (Apidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-08)
The joint effect of the Andes as a geographical barrier and the Quaternary glaciations as promoters of genetic divergence remains virtually unexplored in southern South America. To help fill this knowledge gap, in this ...
