“…Megaraptora is a theropod clade known from former Gondwana landmasses and Asia. Most members of the clade are known from the Early to Late Cretaceous (Barremian–Santonian), with Maastrichtian megaraptorans known only from isolated and poorly informative remains. …”

“…To do this, we draw on several data sets: questionnaire results with visitors of Mt Barney Lodge in the World Heritage Gondwana area in Queensland, Australia; another questionnaire with Pacific Island “experts” engaged in climate change, development, and disaster risk management work; interviews with locals living in the Cook Islands; and various spoken, written, and visual art from the Pacific. …”

“…The divergence and dispersal of the family Laelapidae species is most likely a joint response to the continued northward drift of the Indian plate away from the Gondwana paleo-continent and gradually closer to Asia during the Late Cretaceous and the geological activity of the Tibetan Plateau during the Cenozoic Tertiary. …”

“…Mantle plumes have played a key role in tectonic events such as continental break-up and large magmatic events since at least the formation of Gondwana. However, as their signatures on Earth’s surface, many of large igneous provinces have disappeared into the mantle during Earth’s long-term evolution, meaning that plume remnants in the mantle are crucial in advancing mantle plume theory and accurately reconstructing Earth history. …”

“…Hadrotreta was only found in south China and Laurentia during the Cambrian Age 4, then expanded its distribution to other regions such as Siberia, Baltica, the Kazakh Terranes, the Far East, and Gondwana Pange during the Miaolingian Epoch. Hadrotreta seems to have shifted from deeper water to shallow-water environments during the period from the Cambrian Series 2 to the Miaolingian.…”

“…This diverse order is believed to have originated before the break-up of Gondwana in the late Cretaceous. However, previous molecular dating studies have relied heavily on the geological split between New Zealand and Antarctica, assumed to have occurred 85–82 Mya, for calibrating the molecular clock and might thus be circular in their argument. …”

“…The geographic disjunctions among the major lineages of notothenioids show biogeographic and temporal correspondence with the fragmentation of East Gondwana. CONCLUSIONS: The phylogenetic resolution of Percophis requires a change in the classification of percomorph fishes and provides evidence for a western Weddellian origin of notothenioids. …”

“…Because of the distribution of this genus, it could be hypothesized that the evolutionary patterns in this genus, including a pair of geminate species across the Central American Isthmus, could be explained by vicariance following the break-up of Gondwana. However, the evolutionary history of this group has not been evaluated. …”
