Decoupling the spread of grasslands from the evolution of grazer-type herbivores in South America
Caroline A.E. Strömberg,Regan E. Dunn,Richard H. Madden,Matthew J. Kohn,Alfredo Armando Carlini +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown that although open-habitat grasses existed in southern South America since the middle Eocene, they were minor floral components in overall forested habitats between 40 and 18 Myr ago, and distinctly different, continent-specific environmental conditions (arid grasslands versus ash-laden forests) triggered convergent cheek-tooth evolution in Cenozoic herbivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleogene Land Mammal Faunas of South America; a Response to Global Climatic Changes and Indigenous Floral Diversity
Michael O. Woodburne,Francisco J. Goin,Mariano Bond,Alfredo Armando Carlini,Javier N. Gelfo,Guillermo López,Ari Iglesias,Ana Natalia Zimicz +7 more
TL;DR: In addition to being composed of essentially different groups of mammals, those of the South American continent seem to have responded to the climatic changes associated with the ECCO and subsequent conditions in a pattern that was initially comparable to, but subsequently different from, their North American counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linked canopy, climate, and faunal change in the Cenozoic of Patagonia
Regan E. Dunn,Caroline A.E. Strömberg,Richard H. Madden,Matthew J. Kohn,Alfredo Armando Carlini +4 more
TL;DR: A method for reconstructing leaf area index (LAI) based on light-dependent morphology of leaf epidermal cells and phytoliths derived from them is presented and, using this proxy, LAI for the Cenozoic of middle-latitude Patagonia is reconstructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revised geochronology of the Casamayoran South American Land Mammal Age: climatic and biotic implications.
Richard F. Kay,Richard H. Madden,María Guiomar Vucetich,Alfredo Armando Carlini,Mario M. Mazzoni,Guillermo Hector Re,Matthew Heizler,Hamish A. Sandeman +7 more
TL;DR: Isotopic age determinations (40Ar/39Ar) and associated magnetic polarity stratigraphy for Casamayoran age fauna at Gran Barranca (Chubut, Argentina) indicate that the Barrancan "subage" of the South American Land Mammal "Age" is late Eocene, 18 to 20 million years younger than hitherto supposed as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
A New Chronology for Middle Eocene-Early Miocene South American Land Mammal Ages
Regan E. Dunn,Richard H. Madden,Matthew J. Kohn,Mark D. Schmitz,Caroline A.E. Strömberg,Alfredo Armando Carlini,Guillermo Hector Re,James L. Crowley +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used high-precision (± <40 k.y.) U-Pb dating using single zircon crystals to better con- strain the ages of mammalian assemblages, and provided a high-resolution age model from which hypotheses about rates of environmental and evolution change at Gran Barranca can be tested.
