Continental Relationships, Chronostratigraphy, Climates, and Mammalian Biogeography of Southern South America Since Late Miocene

摘要: The biotic interchange between the Americas occurred in several phases during more than nine million years. In this book, we focus on mammals of southern South America, where most important and richest localities with fossil vertebrates Late Miocene–Holocene Age were reported. We here provide basic information about taxonomic composition, biostratigraphy, climate evolution, continental tectonics, biogeography for better understanding GABI. Furthermore, analyze chronology dynamics GABI, evolution some American mammalian groups through time, Quaternary extinctions. As GABI was a complex process, divide it into ProtoGABI 1 to 4.
