Plants respond to Pleistocene climatic change as species, not as associations or biomes.
This has been demonstrated unequivocally by paleobotanical data for temperate latitudes …

The neotropical Amazonian and Andean plant diversity developed mainly during the
Tertiary. In Amazonia, Miocene floral diversity seems considerably higher than today. During …

Seasonally dry tropical forests have been largely ignored in discussions of vegetation
changes during the Quaternary. We distinguish dry forests, which are essentially tree …

The evidence for the Little Ice Age, the most important fluctuation in global climate in
historical times, is most dramatically represented by the advance of mountain glaciers in the …

The environmental and biotic history of the late Quaternary represents a critical junction
between ecology, global change studies, and pre-Quaternary paleobiology. Late Quaternary …

We suggest Milankovitch climate oscillations as a common cause for geographical patterns
in species diversity, species' range sizes, polyploidy, and the degree of specialization and …

Fire activity has varied globally and continuously since the last glacial maximum (LGM) in
response to long-term changes in global climate and shorter-term regional changes in …

The floristic nature of central Brazilian forests, as well as their links to other main forest
formations of eastern tropical South America, is assessed by means of multivariate analyses …

Mortality rates of 205 tree and shrub species were estimated during two intervals, 1982—
1985 and 1985—1990, in two size classes, 1—10 and≥ 10 cm in diameter, in a 50—ha …
