TLDR
In this paper, European vegetation during representative “warm” and “cold” intervals of stage-3 was inferred from pollen analytical data, and the inferred vegetation differs in character and spatial pattern from that of both fully glacial and fully interglacial conditions and exhibits contrasts between warm and cold intervals.About:

Trees or no trees? The environments of central and eastern Europe during the Last Glaciation
TL;DR: The fossil evidence is reviewed and considers it alongside genetic and palaeoclimatic evidence in order to contribute towards a newly emerging synthesis of the full-glacial refugial localities in Europe and their influence upon the ancestry of European species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alpines, trees, and refugia in Europe
TL;DR: The authors argued that the concept of "cryptic refugia" is also applicable to arctic and alpine plants during temperate interglacial stages where small localised populations grow in naturally open habitats that are not beyond or above the forest limit.

TL;DR: Terrestrial Arctic animals are likely to be most vulnerable to warmer and drier summers, climatic changes that interfere with migration routes and staging areas, altered snow conditions and freeze-thaw cycles in winter, climate-induced disruption of the seasonal timing of reproduction and development, and influx of new competitors, predators, parasites and diseases.

Ecological Change, Range Fluctuations and Population Dynamics during the Pleistocene
TL;DR: The Pleistocene is an excellent model case for the effects of rapid climate change, as the authors experience at the moment, on the ecology of plants and animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid ecological turnover and its impact on Neanderthal and other human populations.
TL;DR: The latter part of the last glaciation, 50,000-12,000 years ago (kya), was characterized by a rapidly changing climate, cold conditions and corresponding vegetation and faunal turnover that coincided with the extinction of the Neanderthals and the expansion of modern human populations.

Evidence for general instability of past climate from a 250-kyr ice-core record

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed stable isotope record for the full length of the Greenland Ice-core Project Summit ice core, extending over the past 250 kyr according to a calculated timescale, and find that climate instability was not confined to the last glaciation, but appears also have been marked during the last interglacial (as explored more fully in a companion paper), and during the previous Saale-Holstein glacial cycle.

Variations in the Earth's Orbit: Pacemaker of the Ice Ages
TL;DR: It is concluded that changes in the earth's orbital geometry are the fundamental cause of the succession of Quaternary ice ages and a model of future climate based on the observed orbital-climate relationships, but ignoring anthropogenic effects, predicts that the long-term trend over the next sevem thousand years is toward extensive Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

Age dating and the orbital theory of the ice ages: Development of a high-resolution 0 to 300,000-year chronostratigraphy

TL;DR: Using the concept of "orbital tuning", a continuous, high-resolution deep-sea chronostratigraphy has been developed spanning the last 300,000 yr as mentioned in this paper.

A Pervasive Millennial-Scale Cycle in North Atlantic Holocene and Glacial Climates
Gerard C. Bond,William J. Showers,Maziet Cheseby,Rusty Lotti,Peter Almasi,Peter B deMenocal,Paul Priore,Heidi Cullen,Irka Hajdas,Georges Bonani +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the North Atlantic deep sea cores reveal that abrupt shifts punctuated what is conventionally thought to have been a relatively stable Holocene climate, and they make up a series of climate shifts with a cyclicity close to 1470 ± 500 years, which is the most recent manifestation of a pervasive millennial-scale climate cycle operating independently of the glacial-interglacial climate state.

Correlations between climate records from North Atlantic sediments and Greenland ice
Gerard C. Bond,Wallace S. Broecker,Sigfus J Johnsen,Sigfus J Johnsen,Jerry F. McManus,Laurent Labeyrie,Jean Jouzel,Jean Jouzel,Georges Bonani +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present records of sea surface temperature from North Atlantic sediments spanning the past 90 kyr which contain a series of rapid temperature oscillations closely matching those in the ice-core record, confirming predictions that the ocean must bear the imprint of the Dansgaard-Oeschger events.
