Bryoherms from the lower Sarmatian (upper Serravallian, Middle Miocene) of the Central Paratethys. [PDF]
Facies, 2023 AbstractBryozoan–serpulid–algal–thrombolite bioherms of up to 50 cm size are described from the Sarmatian (upper Middle Miocene) of the Central Paratethys. They occur on top of lower Sarmatian carbonate sediments of high-energy conditions and the individual bioherms settle on crests of ripples.

The Central Paratethys Sea-rise and demise of a Miocene European marine biodiversity hotspot. [PDF]
Sci RepAbstractThe Miocene Climate Optimum (MCO, ~ 17–14 Ma) was a time of extraordinary marine biodiversity in the Circum-Mediterranean Region. This boom is best recorded in the deposits of the vanished Central Paratethys Sea, which covered large parts of central to southeastern Europe.

Past aridity and dust drove biodiversity crises and altered pollination in the ancient gymnosperm Ephedra (Gnetales). [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT The long‐term effects of present‐day climate change on pollination are unquantified. However, distinguishing climatic drivers of ancient changes in pollination could provide valuable insights into biotic responses to near‐future climate states.

What Is the Population Structure of Poecilogonic Species? Evidence From Large-Scale Genotyping in a Neogastropod Lineage (Conoidea: Raphitoma). [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Dispersal of marine benthic invertebrates is typically dependent on the developmental mode of their pelagic larvae, which can be prolonged and based on plankton feeding (planktotrophic), or short and rely on the nutrients from the egg (non‐planktotrophic).

The Eocene-Oligocene climate transition in the Central Paratethys [PDF]
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2016 Abstract We studied two boreholes (Cserepvaralja-1 and Kiscell-1) with continuous sedimentary records across the Eocene-Oligocene climate transition from the Central Paratethyan area. Assemblages of benthic foraminifera display a shift in dominance by epifaunal taxa in the late Eocene to shallow and deep infaunal taxa in the early Oligocene.

Early and Middle Miocene dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy of the Central Paratethys, Central Europe [PDF]
Journal of Micropalaeontology, 2006 Abstract. Marine organic-walled dinoflagellate cysts have been studied from the Early and Middle Miocene of the Central Paratethys in Austria (Vienna and eastern Alpine Foreland basins) and Hungary (Pannonian Basin), and compared with assemblages of similar age from the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.

Birth, life and death of the Pannonian Lake [PDF]
, 1990 The Miocene-Pliocene Pannonian Lake formed in an extensional basin system behind the compressional arc of the Carpathians. Its size and depth were comparable to those of the Caspian Sea.

On Prophoca and Leptophoca (Pinnipedia, Phocidae) from the Miocene of the North Atlantic realm : redescription, phylogenetic affinities and paleobiogeographic implications [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Prophoca and Leptophoca represent the oldest known genera of phocine seals, dating from the latest early to middle Miocene. Originally, Prophoca rousseaui and Prophoca proxima were described based on fragmentary remains from the Miocene of ...

The South-Western Boundary of Central Paratethys
Geologia Croatica, 2002 Small Neogene basins within the Dinarides were never invaded by marine transgressions during their evolution. The fresh-water sedimentation, endemic fauna and their position between the Adriatic region and the Pannonian Basin System explain why these basins have not been considered as parts of the Mediterranean or Central Paratethys realm.
