Decline of a biome: evolution, contraction, fragmentation, extinction and invasion of the Australian mesic zone biota (2011, unknown): “…was characterized by low amplitude, high frequency [20 to 40 thousand year (kyr)] cycles, then from the mid-Quaternary [780 thousand years ago (ka)], global climate was dominated by high amplitude glacial/ interglacial cycles of c. 100 kyr duration (Zachos et al., 2001; Maslin & Ridgwell, 2005).”
Villafranchian large mammals from the Iberian Peninsula: paleobiogeography, paleoecology and dispersal events (2014, background): “…episode in Earth history, called the Mid- Pleistocene Transition or Middle Pleistocene Revolution (MPR), which elapsed from 1.25 Ma to the early Middle Pleistocene (ca. 0.7 Ma) (Maslin and Ridgwell, 2005; Clarck et al., 2006), rather coinciding with the Epivillafranchian biochron (ca. 1.1-0.78 Ma).”
