DOI: 10.1016/j.gca.2019.06.032
Abstract: Abstract The alkenone-pCO2 method is one of the most widely used approaches to reconstruct atmospheric CO2 in the Cenozoic. The method depends upon fractionation of stable carbon isotopes during algal photosynthesis, expressed as ep37:2, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2206085119
Abstract: Significance The deposition of mineral dust can stimulate primary productivity in the remote Southern Ocean through the supply of the micronutrient iron (Fe), leading to a removal of atmospheric CO2 especially during glacial periods. By… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aob/mcy235
Abstract: Background and Aim Quaternary glaciations strongly affected the distribution of species from arid and semi-arid environments, as temperature drops were accompanied by strong fluctuations in rainfall. In this study, we examined the response of xerophytic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jbi.14023
Abstract: Spatio‐temporal changes have likely caused range fragmentation and population isolation, which could have given rise to the observed current intraspecific differentiation in some species. Here, we test several hypotheses on the potential effect of Pleistocene… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16166
Abstract: Pleistocene glacial cycles influenced the diversification of high-latitude wildlife species through recurrent periods of range contraction, isolation, divergence, and expansion from refugia and subsequent admixture of refugial populations. We investigate population size changes and the… read more here.
