A brief overview of the evolution of each major South American lineage ("Ameridelphia", Sparassodonta, Didelphimorphia, Paucituberculata, Microbiotheria, and Polydolopimorphia) is provided. It is argued that due to physiological constraints, metatherian evolution closely followed the conditions imposed by global temperatures. In general terms, during the Paleocene and the early Eocene multiple radiations of metatherian lineages occurred, with many adaptive types exploiting insectivorous, frugivorous, and omnivorous adaptive zones. In turn, a mixture of generalized and specialized types, the latter mainly exploiting carnivorous and granivorous-folivorous adaptive zones, characterized the second half of the Cenozoic. In both periods, climate was the critical driver of their radiation and turnovers. 410 0$aSpringer Earth System Sciences,$x2197-960X 606 $aBiogeography 606 $aEcology 606 $aRadiation dosimetry 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aBiogeosciences 606 $aEnvironmental Sciences 606 $aRadiation Dosimetry and Protection 606 $aBiodiversity 615 0$aBiogeography. 615 0$aEcology. 615 0$aRadiation dosimetry. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 14$aBiogeosciences. 615 24$aEnvironmental Sciences. 615 24$aRadiation Dosimetry and Protection. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 676 $a560 700 $aGoin$b Francisco$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059014 702 $aWoodburne$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aZimicz$b Ana Natalia$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aMartin$b Gabriel M$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aChornogubsky$b Laura$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254101903321 996 $aA Brief History of South American Metatherians$92503707 997 $aUNINA
