Systematics of Miocene apes: State of the art of a neverending controversy
A Urciuoli, DM Alba - Journal of Human Evolution, 2023 - Elsevier
Hominoids diverged from cercopithecoids during the Oligocene in Afro-Arabia, initially
radiating in that continent and subsequently dispersing into Eurasia. From the Late Miocene …

Evolution of the Late Miocene Mediterranean–Atlantic gateways and their impact on regional and global environmental change
Marine gateways play a critical role in the exchange of water, heat, salt and nutrients
between oceans and seas. As a result, changes in gateway geometry can significantly alter …

The Alboran volcanic-arc modulated the Messinian faunal exchange and salinity crisis
What process triggered the Mediterranean Sea restriction remains debated since the
discovery of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC). Recent hypotheses infer that the MSC …

African land mammal ages
JA Van Couvering, E Delson - Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
We define 17 African land mammal ages, or AFLMAs, covering the Cenozoic record of the

Tectonic and stratigraphic evolution of the Western Alboran Sea Basin in the last 25 Myrs
Abstract The Western Alboran Basin (WAB) formation has always been the subject of debate
and considered either as a back-arc or a forearc basin. Stratigraphic analyses of high …
