Briggs,Sarah C Bray,Stephen J. O'Brien,Gernot Rabeder,Paul Matheus,Alan Cooper,Montgomery Slatkin,Svante Pääbo,Michael Hofreiter +18 more
TL;DR: This paper presented a fully resolved phylogeny for ursids based on ten complete mitochondrial genome sequences from all eight living and two recently extinct bear species, the European cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) and the American giant short-faced bear (Arctodus simus).

The spread of grass-dominated habitats in Turkey and surrounding areas during the Cenozoic: Phytolith evidence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used phytolith assemblages preserved in direct association with faunas as a proxy for paleovegetation structure (grassland vs. forest).
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic and temporal patterns in the late Neogene (12¿3 Ma) aridification of Europe: The use of small mammals as paleoprecipitation proxies
TL;DR: In this paper, present-day relations between small-mammal community structure and rainfall are used to predict late Neogene (12-3-Ma) precipitation patterns in Europe and Anatolia.

Mid-Pliocene warm-period deposits in the High Arctic yield insight into camel evolution
Natalia Rybczynski,John C. Gosse,C. Richard Harington,Roy A. Wogelius,Alan J. Hidy,Michael Buckley +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the evolutionary history of modern camels can be traced back to a lineage of giant camels that was well established in a forested Arctic, consistent with the presence of a rich, boreal-type forest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mammalian Response to Cenozoic Climatic Change
TL;DR: This work has shown that shared life history traits and evolutionary history allow us to generalize about mammalian response to climatic change above the species level, and these generalizations provide the insights into the complexity of mammalian response.

Evolution of Asian monsoons and phased uplift of the Himalaya–Tibetan plateau since Late Miocene times
TL;DR: The results of a numerical climate-model experiment support the argument that the stages in evolution of Asian monsoons are linked to phases of Himalaya–Tibetan plateau uplift and to Northern Hemisphere glaciation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mantle dynamics, uplift of the Tibetan Plateau, and the Indian Monsoon
TL;DR: For example, Hou et al. as mentioned in this paper show that a small increase in the mean elevation of the Tibetan Plateau of 1000 m or more in a few million years is required by abrupt tectonic and environmental changes in Asia and the Indian Ocean.
Palaeogeographic Considerations for Mediterranean and Paratethys Seaways (Oligocene to Miocene)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a ten time-slices analysis of the Mediterranean and Paratethys Oligocene to Miocene, based on Cenozoic plate reconstructions.

Sensitivity of the Indian monsoon to forcing parameters and implications for its evolution
Warren L. Prell,John E. Kutzbach +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general-circulation model was used to estimate the sensitivity of the Indian monsoon to changes in orbital parameters, the orography of Tibet-Himalaya, atmospheric C02 concentration and the extent of glacialage surface boundary conditions.
The IIASA Database for Mean Monthly Values of Temperature, Precipitation, and Cloudiness on a Global Terrestrial Grid
Rik Leemans,Wolfgang Cramer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a database for current climate for a global terrestrial grid has been created using weather records from many different sources, including average monthly temperature, precipitation, and cloudiness values are included in the data set.
