dc.description.abstract
The Late Palezoic Ice Age had a profound effect on the biota. Despite much research has been focused on paleotropical regions or global-scale analyses, regional ecological changes have seldom been studied in ice-proximal basins. Here, I study the compositional turnover and diversity structure across the main Carboniferous glacial event recorded in western Argentina and the subsequent non glacial interval. Brachiopod and bivalve data from western Argentina suggest that the transition from glacial to non-glacial climates caused major compositional changes. Turnover, however, was not uniform across the bathymetric gradient, being higher in deep environments. Because extirpation was concentrated in brachiopods, but immigration was similar in both clades, the taxonomic structure of the region was significantly modified. Although regional hierarchical diversity structure and occupancy distributions remained stable, dissecting the analysis in brachiopods and bivalves underscores that both clades had different responses to climate change. Brachiopods, on the one hand, show stability in the diversity structure and a very slight decrease in occupancies of intermediate genera, while bivalves show an important rise in diversity both at the environment and regional scale, and an increase in genera with intermediate occupancies. The bathymetric diversity gradient was also modified from humped shaped with maximum diversity in the deep subtidal, to a linear gradient with maximum values towards the offshore. However, relative compositional differences within environments remained stable with maximum values at intermediate depths both in glacial and non-glacial intervals. Moreover, local scale coexistence between brachiopods and bivalves changed in the non-glacial interval showing significant segregation, indicating relevant modifications in community assembly dynamics. Results from western Argentina highlight the magnitude of regional scale ecological changes during the LPIA in ice-proximal regions, suggesting that the waxing and waning of glaciers was able to cause regional taxonomic turnover and medium-scale ecological changes even during intervals of relative macroevolutionary quiescence.
