Climate Implications of the Messinian Salinity Crisis using the NCAR Community Atmosphere Model (CAM3.1)
The Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC) occurred nearly 6 million years ago when the Mediterranean Sea (MS) was isolated from the Atlantic Ocean. High rates of evaporation and diminishing water input led to a 1500 -2500 m drop in MS level. In this study, four 20-year simulations are run using the NCAR CAM3 configured with the SOM. Two of the simulations are designed to represent specific events tha...
متن کاملInsight into the origin of endemic Mediterranean ichthyofauna: phylogeography of Chondrostoma genus (Teleostei, Cyprinidae).
The Chondrostoma genus is widespread in Europe, with numerous endemic species in northern Mediterranean rivers. We reconstructed the phylogenetic relationships of this genus, using the whole cytochrome b sequence and compared the two freshwater fish dispersion hypotheses: (1) dispersion around the Mediterranean Sea during the Lago Mare phase of the Messinian salinity crisis (Bianco's hypothesis...
متن کاملHistorical colonization and demography of the Mediterranean damselfish, Chromis chromis.
The desiccation of the Mediterranean Sea during the Messinian Salinity Crisis 6.0-5.3 million years ago (Ma), caused a major extinction of the marine ichthyofauna of the Mediterranean. This was followed by an abrupt replenishment of the Mediterranean from the Atlantic after the opening of the Strait of Gibraltar. In this study, we combined demographic and phylogeographic approaches using mitoch...
متن کاملMesozoic paleogeography and facies distribution in the Northern Mediterranean Tethys from Western Carpathians view
West Carpathian Mesozoic paleogeographic development indicates the effect of a left lateral shift of the Alpine- Carpathian microcontinent along the European shelf since the Early Jurassic. The evolution during Late Triassic/Early Jurassic was controlled by convergence along the border of the Meliata Ocean and by contemporaneous divergence along the Middle Atlantic/Penninic rift. During Mid-Cre...
متن کاملThe Mediterranean deep-sea fauna: historical evolution, bathymetric variations and geographical changes
The deep-water fauna of the Mediterranean is characterized by an absence of distinctive characteristics and by a relative impoverishment. Both are a result of events after the Messinian salinity crisis (Late Miocene). The three main classes of phenomena involved in producing or recording these effects are analysed and discussed: Historical: Sequential faunal changes during the Pliocene and ther...
