Changes in the strength and position of Southern Hemisphere westerly winds during the
Last Glacial cycle have been invoked to explain both millennial and glacial–interglacial …

Palaeoecological data recording a pronounced environmental shift centred about 4000
years BP are presented from tropical Africa and South America. The environmental shift is …

Aim To assess ancient biotic connections between the Amazon Forest (AmF) and the
Atlantic Forest (AtF) based on environmental niche modelling (ENM), palaeobiological, and …

The variations of tropical precipitation are antiphased between the hemispheres on orbital
timescales. This antiphasing arises through the alternating strength of incoming solar …

Aim To investigate the historical distribution of the Cerrado across Quaternary climatic
fluctuations and to generate historical stability maps to test:(1) whether the 'historical …

The aims of this paper are to review previously published palaeovegetation and
independent palaeoclimatic datasets together with new results we present from dynamic …

An overview of the archaeological data produced over the last decades for Brazil, coupled
with a background of recent paleoenvironmental studies, suggests that during the mid …

In the Southern Hemisphere, lacustrine sediments started to be deposited with the
beginning of the deglaciation at ca 19,000 calyrBP. At this time the region of Lake Caço was …

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 …

To investigate the past spatial dynamics of Atlantic Forest (AF)'island-like'enclaves in
northeastern Brazil, we employed ecological niche modeling (ENM) using a set of …
