The dinosaurs roamed the earth for more than 150 million years. The Mesozoic Era, lasting from about 252 MYA to 66 MYA, marks the time of the dinosaurs (i.e. archosaurian reptiles). Many other species that still exist in some form today, like conifers and ferns, also found prominence d...

Earth’s climate has evolved in response to tectonic and orbital forcing over the Cenozoic era, the past 66 million years (Myr). Overall, atmospheric CO2concentrations have decreased and global climate has cooled8. Against this background of Cenozoic cooling, there were two distinct periods of pr...
Origins of fungus farming corresponded mainly with two periods of global warming in the Cenozoic era, which were characterised by broadly distributed tropical forests. Hence, it seems likely that warm climates and expanding tropical angiosperm forests played critical roles in the successful radiation of...
