Oldest fossil remains of the enigmatic pig-footed bandicoot show rapid herbivorous evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The pig-footed bandicoot, Chaeropus ecaudatus, is one of the most enigmatic Australian marsupials, which went extinct in the late 1950s probably as a result of European colonization.

Progress in palynology of the Gelasian–Calabrian Stages in Europe: Ten messages [PDF]
, 2007 Europe has at present the most extensive network of palynological sites covering the Late Pliocene and the Early Pleistocene or roughly the Gelasian-Calabrian Stages. This paper covers ten points of recent progress in the palynology of this time period:

Arctic sea ice simulation in the PlioMIP ensemble [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2016 Eight general circulation models have simulated the mid-Pliocene warm period (mid-Pliocene, 3.264 to 3.025 Ma) as part of the Pliocene Modelling Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP).

Biostratigraphic and magnetostratigraphic synthesis of the Celebes and Sulu Seas, Leg 124 [PDF]
, 1991 During ODP Leg 124, late middle Eocene to Quaternary sediment sequences were recovered from 13 holes drilled at five sites in the Celebes and Sulu basins. Paleomagnetic measurements and biostratigraphic studies using calcareous nannofossils, planktonic

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 169-190., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Mid-Pliocene East Asian monsoon climate simulated in the PlioMIP [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2013 Based on simulations with 15 climate models in the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project (PlioMIP), the regional climate of East Asia (focusing on China) during the mid-Pliocene is investigated in this study.

Stratigraphy and development of the Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene Hawke’s Bay forearc basin [PDF]
, 2004 A Late Miocene-Early Pleistocene mixed carbonate-siliciclastic sedimentary succession about 2 500 m thick in the Hawke’s Bay forearc basin is the focus of a basin analysis. The area under investigation covers 3 500 km2 of western and central Hawke’s Bay.

Plio-Pleistocene Small Mammal-Based Biochronology of Eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasus
QuaternaryThe known Plio-Pleistocene mammalian record, mainly represented by small mammals, and its biotic and geological context in the vast region of Eastern Turkey and Transcaucasus provides a sound base for regional biochronology.

A roe deer from the Pliocene of Hidalgo, central Mexico [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2015 Mexican Pliocene cervids are very poorly known. We report on new fossil material of the roe deer Capreolus constantini recovered from the Pliocene Atotonilco El Grande Formation of Santa María Amajac, Hidalgo (central Mexico).
