Biogeographic Atlas of the Southern Ocean (2014, background): “Eocene Thermal Maximum (ETM2) at 53 Ma may have been times of significant mass extinction events in the deep sea (Zachos et al. 2008).”
High-precision timeline for Earth’s most severe extinction (2014, background): “When the end-Permian extinction is compared with other shortlived events such as the end-Triassic and end-Cretaceous extinctions and the PETM, we see in common, a short-lived perturbation of the carbon cycle followed by a rise in atmospheric pCO2 and temperature, evidence for ocean acidification, an”

A revised evolutionary history of Poales: origins and diversification (2014, background): “Then, starting at the end of the Oligocene, a warming trend was initiated and continued until the middle Miocene climatic optimum at 16 Ma (Zachos et al., 2008; Figueirido et al., 2012).”
Seasonality, the latitudinal gradient of diversity, and Eocene insects (2010, background): “This major climatic transition from the Cretaceous–early Paleogene ‘‘greenhouse world’’ to the current ‘‘icehouse world’’ global temperature regime is also associated with largescale faunal turnover in Europe and North America (Hooker 2000; Zanazzi et al. 2007; Zachos et al. 2008).”

Phylogenetic insights into Andean plant diversification (2014, background): “Since the global climates during the Middle Miocene were considerably warmer (the Mid- Midocene Climatic optimum has been dated around 14–16 Ma, see Zachos et al., 2008), initially diverging species should have had more tolerance to higher temperatures than they have now.”
