Climate change patterns in Amazonia and biodiversity [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2013 Precise characterization of hydroclimate variability in Amazonia on various timescales is critical to understanding the link between climate change and biodiversity. Here we present absolute-dated speleothem oxygen isotope records that characterize hydroclimate variation in western and eastern Amazonia over the past 250 and 20 ka, respectively ...

Anthropogenic climate and land-use change drive short- and long-term biodiversity shifts across taxa
Nature Ecology & EvolutionClimate change and habitat loss present serious threats to nature. Yet, due to a lack of historical land-use data, the potential for land-use change and baseline land-use conditions to interact with a changing climate to affect biodiversity remains ...
