Prevailing dogma asserts that the uplift of Tibet, the onset of the Asian monsoon system and
high biodiversity in southern Asia are linked, and that all occurred after 23 million years ago …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

The early Eocene (56 to 48 million years ago) is inferred to have been the most recent time

Monsoonal climates at low latitudes (< 32° N) are an inevitable consequence of seasonal
migrations of the Inter-tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), but the character of these …

Four fossil floras ranging in age from the mid Miocene to the early Pleistocene from the
eastern Siwaliks near Darjeeling and in Arunachal Pradesh (AP) were compared …

Aim Early in their evolution, angiosperms evolved a diversity of leaf form far greater than that
of any other group of land plants. Some of this diversity evolved in response to varying …

CLAMP Online is a new form-driven web facility enabling Climate Leaf Analysis Multivariate
Program (CLAMP) palaeoclimate determinations to be conducted in their entirety without the …

The relationship between plant form and climate has been recognised for more than two
millennia, and the idea that fossils can indicate climate change was first recorded almost a …
