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

In this chapter we provide an updated checklist of Caatinga mammals, with a critical review
of previous lists, and an overview of our current knowledge on the distribution and …

Aim To assess ancient biotic connections between the Amazon Forest (AmF) and the
Atlantic Forest (AtF) based on environmental niche modelling (ENM), palaeobiological, and …

This third edition of Reconstructing Quaternary Environments has been completely revised
and updated to provide a new account of the history and scale of environmental changes …

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 …

Aim To investigate the potential distribution of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forests (SDTFs)
during the Quaternary climatic fluctuations; to reassess the formerly proposed 'Pleistocenic …

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

Our aims were to quantify and map the plant sub regions of the the Caatinga, that covers
844,453 km2 and is the largest block of seasonally dry forest in South America. We …

The Brazilian Caatinga is considered the richest nucleus of the Seasonally Dry Tropical
Forests (SDTF) in the Neotropics, also exhibiting high levels of endemism, but the timing of …

Many studies propose that Quaternary climatic cycles contracted and/or expanded the
ranges of species and biomes. Strong expansion–contraction dynamics of biomes presume …
