Selection and Treatment of Data for Radiocarbon Calibration: An Update to the International Calibration (IntCal) Criteria (2013, background): “The position of the ITCZ varies with the changing seasons and over longer time periods, so some low-latitude locations may sporadically reflect either Northern or Southern atmospheric 14C (e.g. Hua et al. 2004; Wang et al. 2004).”
The Tropical Response to Extratropical Thermal Forcing in an Idealized GCM: The Importance of Radiative Feedbacks and Convective Parameterization (2009, positive): “Also, a 210-kyr record of wet periods of tropical northeastern Brazil is shown to be synchronous with cold periods in Greenland and Heinrich events in the North Atlantic (Wang et al. 2004).”
The historical connections between the Amazon and the Atlantic Forest revisited (2017, background): “A second route would have crossed the interior of present-day Caatinga, supported by palaeopalynological (De Oliveira, Barreto, & Suguio, 1999), travertine and speleothem data (Auler & Smart, 2001; Auler et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2004), and mammal fossil records (Czaplewski & Cartelle, 1998; Hartwi”
Climate change and population migration in Brazil’s Northeast: scenarios for 2025–2050 (2010, background): “Todaro (1969) and Harris and Todaro (1970) assume that migration from rural to urban areas is driven not only by wage differentials, but also by the expected location in the labor market.”
Response of the ITCZ to Northern Hemisphere cooling (2006, background): “Wang et al. [2004] analyzed 210 kyr of speleothem and travertine deposits and found that northeast Brazil was anomalously wet during periods when the Northern Hemisphere was cold, consistent with a southward displacement of the tropical rainfall maximum.”
The diversification of eastern South American open vegetation biomes: Historical biogeography and perspectives (2011, background): “…(Behling et al., 2000), paleotemperature record derived from noble gases in ground water (Stute et al., 1995), isotopic composition of carbonate concretions in soil (Dever et al., 1987), palaeobotanical fossils (Wang et al., 2004), and dated fossil bats bones (Czaplewski and Cartelle, 1998).”
The Conservation of Brazilian Reptiles: Challenges for a Megadiverse Country (2005, background): “This similarity is explicable by the changes in the location and extent of forests and savanna in the Pleistocene and early Holocene (Haffer 2001; Wang et al. 2004).”
Temporal and spatial origin of Gesneriaceae in the New World inferred from plastid DNA sequences (2013, background): “By contrast, diversification in the sister clade comprising the rest of the Codonanthe and Nematanthus was restricted to the Brazilian Atlantic forest, without any further range expansion into the Amazonian rainforest, even during the wet periods of the Quaternary that could have allowed expansion o”
