Cenozoic migration of a desert plant lineage across the North Atlantic
New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 6, Page 2668-2684, June 2023., 2023 Summary Previous paleobotanical work concluded that Paleogene elements of the sclerophyllous subhumid vegetation of western Eurasia and western North America were endemic to these disjunct regions, suggesting that the southern areas of the Holarctic flora were isolated at that time.

The Miocene: The Future of the Past
Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 36, Issue 4, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The Miocene epoch (23.03–5.33 Ma) was a time interval of global warmth, relative to today. Continental configurations and mountain topography transitioned toward modern conditions, and many flora and fauna evolved into the same taxa that exist today.
