The Unionidae represent an excellent model taxon for unravelling the drivers of freshwater
diversity, but, phylogeographic studies on Southeast Asian taxa are hampered by lack of a …

Abstract The Tremp Group of the Tremp-Graus Basin (Southern Pyrenees, Spain) is a
succession of predominantly continental origin that records the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal …

Abrupt perturbations of the global carbon cycle during the early Eocene are associated with
rapid global warming events, which are analogous in many ways to present greenhouse …

The early Eocene is an important time in Cenozoic history because it marked the height of
global warming, coincident with significant reorganization of the mammalian biota. In North …

The Mesonychia is a group of archaic carnivorous mammals of uncertain phylogenetic
affinities with a Holarctic distribution during the Paleogene. Intensive fossil collecting efforts …

Human-mediated species invasion and climate change are leading to global extinctions and
are predicted to result in the loss of important axes of phylogenetic and functional diversity …

Species selection, covariation of species' traits with their net diversification rates, is an
important component of macroevolution. Most studies have relied on indirect evidence for its …

“Hyperthermals” are past intervals of geologically rapid global warming that provide the
opportunity to study the effects of climate change on existing faunas over thousands of …

Gomphochelys nanus, new genus and species, is described from the earliest Wasatchian
