Glacial–interglacial climate cycles are known to have triggered migrations and
reassortments of tropical biota. Although long-term precessionally-driven changes in …

Diatom-based transfer functions for salinity, precipitation and temperature were developed
using a training set that included data from 40 sites along central Mexico. These transfer …

This chapter presents a general introduction and overview of the and statistical techniques
that are most commonly used in quantitative palaeolimnology. After discussing the different …

The last 85,000 years were characterized by high climate and environmental variability on
the Yucatán Peninsula. Heinrich stadials are examples of abrupt climate transitions that …

Fossil assemblages reflect the parental communities that produced them, and are in turn
associated with specific environmental conditions. Thus, climatic and environmental …

Characterising the vegetation-pollen signal is a crucial task for enhancing the interpretation
of fossil pollen records. This study analyses 28 surface soil samples collected in the …

Climate has been inherently linked to global diversity patterns, and yet no empirical data are
available to put modern climate change into a millennial-scale context. High tropical species …

Detailed knowledge of species ecological preferences and robust taxonomy of
paleobioindicators are prerequisites for accurate paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental …

Over the last glacial cycle, climate variations in the Neotropics were related to diverse
forcing mechanisms whose understanding has been limited because of the scarcity of …

Aim To investigate the effects of abrupt climate change in the North Atlantic on the
vegetation history of lowland Central America. We use palynological evidence from a …
