Some lived in parts of Eurasia, Beringia and, following the Great American Interchange, South America.

The resulting Great American Interchange of animals and plants shaped the flora and fauna of the Central America bioregion.

Insectivores were absent from South America until the Great American Interchange three million years ago, and are present now only in the northwestern part of the continent.

During the Great American Interchange of around 3 million years ago, Cuvieronius and two species of its sister genus Stegomastodon moved south into South America.

They invaded South America from Central America as part of the Great American Interchange near the end of the Miocene, about 5 million years ago.

They originated in South America, invaded North America during the Great American Interchange, and went extinct at the end of the Pleistocene epoch.

This led to the Great American Interchange.

He was an expert on extinct mammals and their migrations, especially the Great American Interchange between the Americas.

The two South American species arrived following the Great American Interchange.

This genus diversified and moved to South America in the early Pleistocene as part of the Great American Interchange, giving rise to modern lamines.
