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.

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).

Can uncertainties in sea ice albedo reconcile patterns of data-model discord for the Pliocene and 20th/21st centuries? [PDF]

, 2014
General Circulation Model simulations of the mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP, 3.264 to 3.025 Myr ago) currently underestimate the level of warming that proxy data suggest existed at high latitudes, with discrepancies of up to 11°C for sea surface ...

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.

Ice sheet model dependency of the simulated Greenland Ice Sheet in the mid-Pliocene [PDF]

Climate of the Past, 2015
The understanding of the nature and behavior of ice sheets in past warm periods is important for constraining the potential impacts of future climate change.

Plio-Pleistocene Small Mammal-Based Biochronology of Eastern Anatolia and Transcaucasus

Quaternary
The 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.

Interannual climate variability seen in the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project

, 2015
Following reconstructions suggesting weakened temperature gradients along the Equator in the early Pliocene, there has been much speculation about Pliocene climate variability.

Climate variability and long-term expansion of peatlands in Arctic Norway during the late Pliocene (ODP Site 642, Norwegian Sea) [PDF]

, 2016
Little is known about the terrestrial response of high-latitude Scandinavian vegetation to the warmer-than-present climate of the late Pliocene (Piacenzian, 3.60–2.58 Ma).
