From: A neotropical perspective on the uniqueness of the Holocene among interglacials
Fúqene shows the most predictable biome response with glacial-interglacial transitions from Paramó to Andean forest. Junín shows some ecological variability but does not go through full biome transitions as seen at Fúqene and does not exhibit the ecological instability of Lake Titicaca. The arrival of people in the terminal Pleistocene influenced Holocene histories at all three sites. All icons courtesy of Nina Witteveen.
