Evolution of Neogene mammals in Eurasia: environmental forcing and biotic interactions
The relative weights of physical forcing and biotic interaction as drivers of evolutionary
change have been debated in evolutionary theory. The recent finding that species, genera …

Temporal aspects of genetic stratigraphic units in continental sedimentary basins: examples from the Ebro basin, Spain
FJ Pérez-Rivarés, C Arenas, G Pardo, M Garcés - Earth-Science Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
The utility of genetic stratigraphy lies with the fundamental relationship between genetic
stratigraphic units and correlative intervals of geologic time. While high-resolution studies …

Long-period astronomical forcing of mammal turnover
JA Van Dam, H Abdul Aziz, M Angeles Alvarez Sierra… - Nature, 2006 - nature.com
Mammals are among the fastest-radiating groups, being characterized by a mean species
lifespan of the order of 2.5 million years (Myr),. The basis for this characteristic timescale of …

Geographic and temporal patterns in the late Neogene (12–3 Ma) aridification of Europe: the use of small mammals as paleoprecipitation proxies
JA van Dam - Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2006 - Elsevier
Present-day relations between small-mammal community structure and rainfall are used to
predict late Neogene (12–3 Ma) precipitation patterns in Europe and Anatolia. New proxy …

Updated chronology for the Miocene hominoid radiation in Western Eurasia
Extant apes (Primates: Hominoidea) are the relics of a group that was much more diverse in
the past. They originated in Africa around the Oligocene/Miocene boundary, but by the …

New bioclimatic models for the quaternary palaearctic based on insectivore and rodent communities
Mammal remains, preserved in archaeological and palaeontological deposits, are
commonly used to reconstruct past terrestrial climates and environments. Here we propose …

Magnetobiochronology of Lower Miocene (Ramblian) continental sediments from the Tudela formation (western Ebro basin, Spain)
The calibration of European Lower Miocene continental stages is poorly constrained due to
the lack of robust magnetostratigraphic data from continental sediments of this age. In this …
