The contemporary South American mammalian communities were determined by the emergence of the Isthmus of Panama and by the profound climatic oscillations during the Pleistocene.Horses and gomphotheres were 2 very cons...
Mammalian carnivores are rarely considered for environmental reconstructions because they are extremely adaptable and their geographic range is usually large. However, the functional morphology of carnivore long bones...

Major element concentrations were analyzed on the sediments of a 203.6-m core from the North China Plain near Tianjin. The chemical index of alteration (CIA), Al2O3-(CaO+Na2O)-K2O diagram and elemental ratios, such as...
The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) analysis reveals the instantaneous variability of the foraminiferal δ 18O and δ 13C of Site 1143 for the past 5 Ma at the eccentricity, obliquity and precession bands. Th...

The sedimentary characteristics, grain-size distribution, geochemical composition and surface characteristics of quartz grains, together with palaeoenvironmental reconnaissance, all point to an aeolian origin for the ...
We used composition of plant macrofossil assemblages obtained mainly from theOsaka Group in central Japan to reconstruct the palaeoclimate between the late Pliocene (about 3.3m.y. B.P.) and the middle Pleistocene (abo...
