Africa since the Mesozoic: with particular reference to certain biological problems.

摘要: SUMMARY. 1 The existing information about the Tertiary geology and elimate of Africa is collated discussed critically. 2 There no evidence for a revolution in climate fauna (following incursion from Asia) after Miocene. 3 The arguments favour equator having remained its present position through are regarded as stronger than those southward shift (through some 45). 4 The passerine avifauna analysed by biomes with respect to affinity avifaunas Europe Asia. 5 The difference between lowland evergreen savanna great, at generic well specific level; that montane nearly great–so much they must largely have evolved isolation each other. 6 Floristic adduced compared faunistic. 7 The bio-geographical data relation geological climatic.
