A review and reanalysis of geological, molecular, and paleontological data led O'Dea . () to propose (i) that reports by Montes . () and Bacon . () regarding a middle Miocene closure of the Central American Seaway (CAS) are unsupported, and (ii) a new age of the formation of the Isthmus at 2.8 million years ago (Ma). Here, we reject both of these conclusions.
地质、分子和古生物学数据的回顾和再分析导致 O'Dea ()提出(i)关于中中新世关闭中美陆间海(CAS)的 Montes ()和 Bacon ()的报告是没有依据的,(ii)一个关于地峡形成的新年代为 280 万年前(Ma)。在这里,我们反对这两个结论。
