This editorial introduction highlights four of the principal themes in late-Quaternary research on summer-dry, mediterranean-type environments: first, issues of historical biogeography, such as convergent evolution; second, the synchroneity of past climate change between and within different regions; third, how far mediterranean-type environments represent cultural constructs or pristine habitats; and, fourth, the environmental future of mediterranean-type regions - for example, whether past records can help inform our understanding of how their distinctive biotas and often fragile landscapes will respond to predicted climate change. These issues are illustrated from three of the world's five mediterranean-type regions: the Western Cape Region of South Africa. South and Western Australia, and the Mediterranean Basin
