The origin and evolution of open habitats in North America inferred by Bayesian deep learning models.
Some of the most extensive terrestrial biomes today consist of open vegetation, including temperate grasslands and tropical savannas. These biomes originated relatively recently in Earth’s history, likely replacing forested habitats in the second half of the Cenozoic. However, the timing of their origination and expansion remains disputed. Here, we present...Andermann, Tobias ; Strömberg, Caroline A. E. ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Silvestro, Daniele

Fire and grazing determined grasslands of central Madagascar represent ancient assemblages.
The ecology of Madagascar's grasslands is under-investigated and the dearth of ecological understanding of how disturbance by fire and grazing shapes these grasslands stems from a perception that disturbance shaped Malagasy grasslands only after human arrival. However, worldwide, fire and grazing shape tropical grasslands over ecological and evolutionary timescales, and...
