Article Synopsis
- Abrupt changes in the global carbon cycle during the early Eocene led to significant global warming events similar to today's climate change.
- During these warming events, specifically the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (ETM2), mammalian dwarfing was observed as a response to climate shifts.
- The study found that during ETM2, certain mammal groups, especially early horses, showed a notable decrease in size, indicating that the degree of dwarfing correlates with the intensity of these warming events.
