Simulating late Pliocene northern hemisphere climate with the LLN 2-D model [PDF]
, 1998 Deep-sea sediment records suggest Northern Hemisphere glaciation intensified at approximately 2.75 Ma. In this paper we simulate the fluctuations of the late Pliocene Northern Hemisphere ice-sheets volume using the LLN 2-D model, forced by the ...

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.

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.

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).

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).

Climate of the Past, 2023 Abstract. The warmer early Pliocene climate featured changes to global sea surface temperature (SST) patterns, namely a reduction in the Equator–pole gradient and the east–west SST gradient in the tropical Pacific, the so-called “permanent El Niño”. Here we investigate the consequences of the SST changes to silicate weathering and thus to atmospheric ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Pliocene-Pleistocene marine cyclothems, Wanganui Basin, New Zealand: a lithostratigraphic framework [PDF]
, 1995 The Rangitikei River valley between Mangaweka and Vinegar Hill and the surrounding Ohingaiti region in eastern Wanganui Basin contains a late Pliocene to early Pleistocene (c. 2.6-1.7 Ma), c.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.
