Pleistocene Aridification Cycles Shaped the Contemporary Genetic Architecture of Southern African Baboons
Plio-Pleistocene environmental change influenced the evolutionary history of many animal lineages in Africa, highlighting key roles for both climate and tectonics in the evolution of Africa's faunal diversity. Here, we explore diversification in the southern African chacma baboon Papio ursinus sensu lato and reveal a dominant role for increasingly arid landscapes during past glacial cycles in s...

متن کاملConcluding remarks: Southern hemisphere paleoceanography in a global climate change context during the Mid-Pleistocene Transition
In this chapter, the foraminiferal faunal patterns of Core T89-40 are placed in a global palaeoceanographic context. The surface waters of the core location are influenced by the extent of the subtropical gyre versus the Benguela Upwelling System, in turn driven by a complex interaction between atmospheric circulation patterns. The planktonic foraminiferal record of Core T89-40 shows that maxim...

متن کاملReconstruction of the Central Zagros paleo climate and paleo environment
Introduction The study of lake sediments has been widely used in recent decades to identify past climate and environmental changes. Lake basins have significant spatial and temporal patterns and provide valuable evidences of physical and chemical changes. However, in general, the climate of the Holocene period has been more stable and uniform than previous glacial and interglacial periods. How...
