Large-scale features of Pliocene climate: results from the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project [PDF]
Climate and environments of the mid-Pliocene warm period (3.264 to 3.025 Ma) have been extensively studied. Whilst numerical models have shed light on the nature of climate at the time, uncertainties in their predictions have not been systematically ...

Prospalax priscus jaw from the site of Węże 2 (southern Poland, Pliocene)
The ecology and adaptations of the Anomalomyidae (Muroidea) have been long debated in the scientific literature. A jaw belonging to Prospalax priscus (Anomalomyidae) was found at the Late Pliocene site of Węże 2 in southern Poland.

GEOLOGICAL AND GEOPHYSICAL TRANSECT OF THE MIDDLE TIEN SHAN ACROSS THE NARYN AND ATBASHI DEPRESSIONS
The article presents the results of integrated geological and geophysical research works dealt with detailed magnetotelluric (MT) sounding and the study of the morphology and spatial position of the sedimentary cover and basement structures along the key

Gomphotheres existed in the Siwaliks from the middle Miocene (14.2Ma) to the middle Pleistocene (0.8Ma) and became extinct later on. In this paper, we tried to discuss the reasons of such extinction of gomphotheres in the lower Pleistocene time span by ...

On the importance of moisture conveyor belts from the tropical eastern Pacific for wetter conditions in the Atacama Desert during the mid-Pliocene [PDF]
Geomorphic and sedimentologic data indicate that the climate of today's hyper-arid Atacama Desert (northern Chile) was more humid during the mid-Pliocene to Late Pliocene.

Pliocene climate and seasonality in North Atlantic shelf seas [PDF]
This paper reviews North Atlantic shelf seas palaeoclimate during the interval 4–3Ma, prior to and incorporating the ‘Mid-Pliocene warm period’ (ca 3.29–2.97Ma).

Interannual climate variability seen in the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project [PDF]
Following reconstructions suggesting weakened temperature gradients along the Equator in the early Pliocene, there has been much speculation about Pliocene climate variability.

The Invertebrate Life of New Zealand: A Phylogeographic Approach
Phylogeography contributes to our knowledge of regional biotas by integrating spatial and genetic information. In New Zealand, comprising two main islands and hundreds of smaller ones, phylogeography has transformed the way we view our biology and ...

Late Pliocene lakes and soils: a global data set for the analysis of climate feedbacks in a warmer world [PDF]
The global distribution of late Pliocene soils and lakes has been reconstructed using a synthesis of geological data. These reconstructions are then used as boundary conditions for the Hadley Centre General Circulation Model (HadCM3) and the BIOME4 ...
