CENTRAL AMERICAN PROVINCIALISM AND THE GREAT AMERICAN BIOTIC INTERCHANGE Michael O. Woodburne1,* Alberto L. Cione2,**, and Eduardo P. Tonni2,*** ABSTRACT The age and phyletic context of mammals that dispersed between North and South America during the past 9 m.y. is summarized. The presence of a Central American province of cladogenesis and faunal differentiation is explored. One apparent aspect of such a province is to delay dispersals of some taxa northward from Mexico into the continental United States, largely during the Blancan. Examples are recognized among the various xenar- thrans, and cervid artiodactyls. Whereas the concept of a Central American province has been mentioned in past investigations it is upgraded here. Paratoceras (protoceratid artio- dactyl) and rhynchotheriine proboscideans provide perhaps the most compelling examples of Central American cladogenesis (late Arikareean to early Barstovian and Hemphillian to Rancholabrean, respectively), but this category includes Hemphillian sigmodontine rodents, and perhaps a variety of carnivores and ungulates from Honduras in the medial Miocene, as well as peccaries and equids from Mexico. For South America, Mexican canids and hy- drochoerid rodents may have had an earlier development in Mexico. Remarkably, the first South American immigrants to Mexico (after the Miocene heralds; the xenarthrans Plaina and Glossotherium) apparently dispersed northward at the same time as the first Holarctic taxa dispersed to South America (sigmodontine rodents and the tayassuid artiodactyls).

A small mammalian fauna is recorded from Extinction Cave (also called Sibun 6 Cave), east of Belmopan, on the Sibun River, Belize, Central America. The animals recognized 7 are armadillo (†Dasypus bellus), American lion (†Panthera atrox), jaguar (P. onca), puma or 8 mountain lion (Puma concolor), Florida spectacled bear (†Tremarctos floridanus), javelina or 9 collared peccary (Pecari tajacu), llama (Camelidae indet., ?†Palaeolama mirifica), red brocket 10 deer (Mazama americana), bison (Bison sp.) and Mexican half-ass (†Equus conversidens), and 11 sabre-tooth cat († Smilodon fatalis) may also be represented (‘†’ indicates an extinct taxon). 12 Bear and bison are absent from the region today. The bison record is one of the more southernly 13 known. The bear record is almost the mostDraft westerly known and a first for Central America.

Comparison and analysis of the type specimen, a mandible, with other megalonychid sloths shows a closer relationship to South American taxa than those from North America or the Caribbean. This suggests that during the early stages of the Great American Biotic Interchange there were two separate dispersal events of megalonychid sloths—an earlier one represented by Pliometanastes and the later one by Zacatzontli n. gen. While the morphology of the spout of Zacatzontli more closely resembles that of Megalonyx, based on the current record, Zacatzontli does does not enter North America until after the evolution of Megalonyx from Pliometanastes. The role of the northern neotropics in South America as a staging area for South American taxa that entered North America is discussed. Introduction various early Blancan localities, dated at 4.7 Ma. We note that the Hemphillian-Blancan boundary as used here (4.8–4.7 Myr; Ongoing research of the geology and paleontology of the late Flynn et al., 2005) is later than that of Lindsay et al.

The oldest of these fossils (the "Aftonian fauna") predates the last glaciation and predominantly are the remains oflarge mammals.

  • The Great American Biotic Interchange in Florida
    Bull. Fla. Mus. Nat. Hist. (2005) 45(4): 271-311 271 THE GREAT AMERICAN BIOTIC INTERCHANGE IN FLORIDA Gary S. Morgan1 Late Neogene vertebrate faunas from Florida provide the most complete record of South American mammals and birds that arrived in temperate North America during the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI). The first major pulse of the GABI began in the early Hemphillian (late Miocene, ~9 Ma), defined in part on the first appearance of two sloths of South American origin, the megalonychid Pliometanastes and the mylodontid Thinobadistes. The type localities of Pliometanastes protistus (McGehee Farm) and Thinobadistes segnis (Mixson’s Bone Bed) are both earliest Hemphillian (8-9 Ma) sites from northern Florida. Pliometanastes evidently gave rise to Megalonyx in the late Hemphillian. The latest Hemphillian (~5 Ma) Palmetto Fauna documents the earliest occurrence of Megalonyx in Florida. The second major pulse of the GABI occurred during the late Pliocene and early Pleistocene, from 2.7 to1.5 Ma. The late Blancan is defined by the first appearance in temperate North America of a diverse assemblage of vertebrates from South America, including ten genera, all of which occur in Florida during the late Blancan: the giant flightless bird Titanis, the glyptodont Glyptotherium, the armadillos Dasypus and Pachyarmatherium, the pampathere Holmesina, the mylodontid Glossotherium, the megatheriid Eremotherium, the porcupine Erethizon, and the capy- baras Hydrochaeris and Neochoerus. During the late Blancan, Titanis, Dasypus, Pachyarmatherium, Holmesina, Eremotherium, and Hydrochaeris are primarily restricted to Florida, whereas Glyptotherium, Glossotherium, Erethizon, and Neochoerus are more widespread, occurring in Florida as well as the western United States.

  • Paleoecology of Extinct Xenarthrans and the Great American Biotic Interchange
    Bull. Fla. Mus. Nat. Hist. (2005) 45(4): 313-333 313 PALEOECOLOGY OF EXTINCT XENARTHRANS AND THE GREAT AMERICAN BIOTIC INTERCHANGE H. Gregory McDonald1 The Xenarthra were the most successful South American mammals to participate in the Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) and representatives of each family dispersed to at least the middle latitudes in North America. The ability of xenarthrans to insinuate themselves into the North American fauna suggests their ecology was sufficiently different from endemic North American taxa to avoid direct competition and sufficiently different amongst themselves to avoid competition with each other. Despite the diversity of xenarthrans in South America at the time of the interchange only one member of each major xenarthran group (roughly equivalent to a family) reached temperate North America. The morphological diversity displayed by ground sloths, glyptodonts, pampatheres, armadillos and anteaters, indicates that no single ecological explanation can account for their successful dispersal into North America as each represents a distinct ecological adaptation, including a variety of feeding strategies such as omnivore/insectivore, specialized myrmecophage, and herbivory including low browser, high browser, aquatic grazer, intermediate feeder on coarse vegetation/grazer, and large grazer/intermediate feeder. Despite this ecological diversity there do seem to be some trends common to the group. Ecologically the dispersing member was more of a generalist than other members of the family and dispersing members tended to be small with a subsequent increase in size following their entry into North America. Key Words: Great American Biotic Interchange; Xenarthra; paleoecology; biogeography INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been a renewed interest in the the Xenarthra reach temperate North America than any Great American Biotic Interchange (GABI) (Stehli & other South American disperser, but once present, most Webb 1985 and papers within).
