The Great American Biotic Interchange: Dispersals, Tectonics, Climate, Sea Level and Holding Pens
TL;DR: The biotic and geologic dynamics of the Great American Biotic Interchange are reviewed and revised and trans-isthmian land mammal exchanges during the Pleistocene glacial intervals appear to have been promoted by the development of diverse non-tropical ecologies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleogene Land Mammal Faunas of South America; a Response to Global Climatic Changes and Indigenous Floral Diversity

TL;DR: In addition to being composed of essentially different groups of mammals, those of the South American continent seem to have responded to the climatic changes associated with the ECCO and subsequent conditions in a pattern that was initially comparable to, but subsequently different from, their North American counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biochronological relationships of the earliest south american paleogene mammalian faunas
TL;DR: The role of the mammalian faunas in age inference is discussed in this article, where the authors show that the presence of non-therian mammals in the Peligran is of little consequence to the bio- chronological evaluation, reflecting instead a relict Mesozoic distribution.
