Our understanding of the ecology and evolution of Eocene paleobiodiversity in the Southern Hemisphere remains limited. A middle Eocene (∼41 Ma) tropical ecosystem from the Umarsar Lignite Mine, recently reported by Agnihotri et al., revealed over 800 arthropods and 118 palynomorph species thriving in warm, humid conditions. The northward drift and favorable climate of India drove diversification, offering insights for modern tropical forest conservation amid climate change.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Ecology & Evolution (TREE) is a comprehensive journal featuring polished, concise, and readable reviews, opinions, and letters in all areas of ecology and evolutionary science. Catering to researchers, lecturers, teachers, field workers, and students, it serves as a valuable source of information. The journal keeps scientists informed about new developments and ideas across the spectrum of ecology and evolutionary biology, spanning from pure to applied and molecular to global perspectives. In the face of global environmental change, Trends in Ecology & Evolution plays a crucial role in covering all significant issues concerning organisms and their environments, making it a major forum for life scientists.
