Astronomical calibration of the Paleocene time (2008, background): “The PETM, as an exception from this trend, exhibits lower sedimentation rates due to carbonate dissolution (Zachos et al., 2003, 2005).”

The relative importance of deforestation, precipitation change, and temperature sensitivity in determining the future distributions and diversity of Amazonian plant species (2012, methodology): “…approximation of future climate regime we modified the high-resolution contemporary climate data according to climate anomaly patterns (local and seasonal change in climate variable per degree of warming over land) at a spatial resolution of 2.5 9 3.75 arc-degree (Zelazowski et al., 2011).”
The Fossil Record of Plant-Insect Dynamics (2013, background): “An influx of 13C-depleted carbon into the atmosphere during the onset of the PETM caused the partial pressure of carbon dioxide ( pCO2) to approximately double and global temperatures to increase by at least 5◦C (Kennett & Stott 1991, Koch et al. 1992, Zachos et al. 2003).”
Angiosperms Helped Put the Rain in the Rainforests: The Impact of Plant Physiological Evolution on Tropical Biodiversity1 (2010, background): “Warming was triggered by the injection of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from widely debated sources perhaps including the disassociation of methane hydrates from continental slope sediments (Katz et al., 1999; Zachos et al., 2003, 2005; Panchuk et al., 2008).”
Lack of acclimation in Ophionotus victoriae: brittle stars are not fish (2009, background): “Oceanic sea temperatures are predicted to rise 2°C over the next 100 years (Murphy and Mitchell 1995) which is a rate faster than anything seen over the past million years or on record over the last glacial cycles (Zachos et al. 2003).”

Predicting the impact of ocean acidification on benthic biodiversity: What can animal physiology tell us? (2008, background): “Around 55.8mya the Earth experienced a period of rapid greenhouse warming where ocean temperatures rose by as much as 9 °C (Kennett and Stott 1991; Slujis et al., 2006; Zachos et al., 2003, 2006), having a profound effect on marine biota (Harrington and Jaramillo, 2007).”
