The Pliocene Epoch represents a significant period in the palaeozoogeography of North Atlantic, Arctic and northern Pacific podocopid ostracods. A climate crash during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) G6 (c. 2.74 Ma) resulted in the extinction of early-mid Pliocene thermophilic ostracods and the subsequen...
