The end-Cretaceous bolide impact triggered the devastation of marine ecosystems.
However, the specific kill mechanism (s) are still debated, and how primary production …

Photosynthesis evolved in the oceans more than 3 billion years ago and has persisted
throughout all major extinction events in Earth's history. The most recent of such events is …

Severe climatic and environmental changes are far more prevalent in Earth history than
major extinction events, and the relationship between environmental change and extinction …

The geological record of marine animal biodiversity reflects the interplay between changing
rates of speciation versus extinction. Compared to mass extinctions, background extinctions …

The course of the biotic recovery after the impact-related disruption of photosynthesis and
mass extinction event at the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary has been intensely debated …

Multistressor global change, the combined influence of ocean warming, acidification, and
deoxygenation, poses a serious threat to marine organisms. Experimental studies imply that …

Environmental change and biotic interactions both govern the evolution of the biosphere, but
the relative importance of these drivers over geological time remains largely unknown …

Evolution, extinction, and dispersion are fundamental processes affecting marine
biodiversity. Until recently, studies of extant marine systems focused mainly on evolution and …

Global warming, acidification, and oxygen stress at the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal
Maximum (PETM) are associated with severe extinction in the deep sea and major …

The cause of the end-Cretaceous mass extinction is vigorously debated, owing to the
occurrence of a very large bolide impact and flood basalt volcanism near the boundary …
