Recurrent photic zone euxinia limited ocean oxygenation and animal evolution during the Ediacaran
Abstract The Ediacaran Period (~ 635–539 Ma) is marked by the emergence and
diversification of complex metazoans linked to ocean redox changes, but the processes and …

Massive and rapid predominantly volcanic CO2 emission during the end-Permian mass extinction
The end-Permian mass extinction event (∼ 252 Mya) is associated with one of the largest
global carbon cycle perturbations in the Phanerozoic and is thought to be triggered by the …

The role of LIPs in Phanerozoic mass extinctions: An Hg perspective
Abstract All of the Big Five mass extinctions (BFMEs) of the Phanerozoic are postulated to
have been associated with eruptions of large igneous provinces (LIPs), although the role of …

Mercury isotope evidence for recurrent photic-zone euxinia triggered by enhanced terrestrial nutrient inputs during the Late Devonian mass extinction
Widespread oceanic anoxia marked by globally extensive deposition of organic-rich black
shale during the Late Devonian was a major factor in the mass extinctions at the Frasnian …

Goldilocks at the dawn of complex life: mountains might have damaged Ediacaran–Cambrian ecosystems and prompted an early Cambrian greenhouse world
We combine U–Pb in-situ carbonate dating, elemental and isotope constraints to calibrate
the synergy of integrated mountain-basin evolution in western Gondwana. We show that …

End-Permian marine extinction due to temperature-driven nutrient recycling and euxinia
Extreme warming at the end-Permian induced profound changes in marine biogeochemical
cycling and animal habitability, leading to the largest metazoan extinction in Earth's history …

Middle Permian palaeoclimatic-palaeoceanographic evolution and its controls on organic matter accumulation in the lower Yangtze upwelling region
For more than 10 million years (∼ 272–260 Ma), the Middle Permian underwent periodic
episodes of vigorous upwelling and massive organic matter burial along the west coasts of …

Early evolution of beetles regulated by the end-Permian deforestation
The end-Permian mass extinction (EPME) led to a severe terrestrial ecosystem collapse.
However, the ecological response of insects—the most diverse group of organisms on Earth …

Breathless through time: oxygen and animals across Earth's history
Oxygen levels in the atmosphere and ocean have changed dramatically over Earth history,
with major impacts on marine life. Because the early part of Earth's history lacked both …
