Abstract The eastern-central South American open vegetation biomes occur across an
extensive range of environmental conditions and are organized diagonally including three …

To provide an overview on the spatial distribution of centennial-scale climate records of MIS
3 glacial, terrestrial and marine sites have been compiled in three tables according to their …

Precise characterization of hydroclimate variability in Amazonia on various timescales is
critical to understanding the link between climate change and biodiversity. Here we present …

On-line analysis of split sediment cores by XRF core scanners has become increasingly
popular in the past decade, because it allows nondestructive extraction of near-continuous …

XRF core scanners, with their rapid and non-destructive analytical capability, have now
been used for two decades in the analysis of marine sediments. Initially they were used to …

The tropics are the main source of the atmosphere's sensible and latent heat, and water
vapour, and are therefore important for reconstructions of past climate. But long, accurately …

Several independent trajectories of subsistence intensification, often leading to agriculture,
began during the Holocene. No plant-rich intensifications are known from the Pleistocene …

There is much evidence to support past contact between the Atlantic and the Amazon forests
through the South American dry vegetation diagonal, but the spatiotemporal dynamics of this …

Abstract During Paleogene the Neotropical region was mainly covered by rainforests and
ancient Amazon (AM) and Atlantic Forest (AF) were continuous and interconnected. The …

Aim To use parsimony analysis of endemicity and cladistic analysis of distributions and
endemism to evaluate two hypotheses addressing biogeographical relationships among …
