Oxygenation, life, and the planetary system during Earth's middle history: An overview
The long history of life on Earth has unfolded as a cause-and-effect relationship with the
evolving amount of oxygen (O2) in the oceans and atmosphere. Oxygen deficiency …

Co-evolution of eukaryotes and ocean oxygenation in the Neoproterozoic era
Abstract The Neoproterozoic era (about 1,000 to 542 million years ago) was a time of
turbulent environmental change. Large fluctuations in the carbon cycle were associated with …
