Devonian marine biogeography changes from a highly provincial Early Devonian (highest in
the latest Early Devonian) to a very cosmopolitan Late Devonian level. There is a parallel …

The relative importance of tectonism and sea-level change in driving Middle to Late
Devonian biogeographic patterns in marine invertebrates is investigated using phylogenetic …

The face of Planet Earth has changed significantly through geological time. Dynamic
processes active today, such as plate tectonics and climate change, have shaped the Earth's …

Revised time-scales for the Devonian Period have highlighted major discrepancies in the
frequency of evolutionary, eustatic, carbon cycle, and biotic events. The number of conodont …

During the Devonian (419 to 359 million years ago), life on Earth witnessed decisive
evolutionary breakthroughs, most prominently the colonization of land by vascular plants …

The interval from the Late Ordovician Ashgill through the Devonian Famenne includes the
continuation of some provincialism in the Ashgill which decreased steadily from an earlier …

Abstract The Late Devonian (383-359 Ma) was a time of prolonged climate instability with
catastrophic perturbation of global marine ecosystems at the Frasnian-Famennian (FF) and …

We present an interim Devonian bioregionalisation in which previous zoogeographical and
biogeographical areas of Devonian taxa are reviewed. This review has been long overdue …

Late Devonian climate was very different from the present. With most of the landmass in
equatorial or high-latitude regions, there was little monsoonal activity. Precipitation maxima …

The Devonian Period was characterized by major changes in both the terrestrial biosphere,
eg the evolution of trees and seed plants and the appearance of multi–storied forests, and in …
