ABSTRACT The response of aquatic ecosystems in the Sierra Nevada (California, USA) to late Quaternary hydroclimate changes remains mostly unknown. Mono Lake, a large endorheic lake just east Nevada, contains an expanded archive laminated sediments that can be used examine benthos environmental changes. Fossil ostracodes from radiocarbon‐dated core were paleoecologic ~16.6 4.3k cal bp. Seven species identified, with co‐occurrence Limnocythere ceriotuberosa and staplini indicating SO 4 2−...
Abstract The Southeast Asian rainforest region is extremely complex and biodiverse. Fossils have shown that paleo‐Antarctic lineages (PARLs) now extant in Asia tracked the ever‐wet conditions needed to survive diversify through deep time. However, threat of future climate change remaining PARLs has yet be evaluated set conservation priorities. We first quantified woody‐genus floristic relationships Island Groups by vetting analyzing recent compilations bioregional species data. then...
Abstract We examine major reorganizations of the terrestrial ecosystem around Mono Lake, California during last deglacial period from 16,000–9,000 cal yr BP using pollen, microcharcoal, and coprophilous fungal spores ( Sporormiella ) a deep-water sediment core. The pollen results record assemblage, decline, replacement mixed wooded community Sierran Great Basin taxa with Alkali Sink Sagebrush Steppe biomes Lake. In particular, enigmatic presence Sequoiadendron -type its extirpation early...
