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

Deep-sea benthic foraminifera live in the largest habitat on Earth, constitute an important
part of its benthic biomass, and form diverse assemblages with common cosmopolitan …

Increasing availability and extent of biological ocean time series (from both in situ and
satellite data) have helped reveal significant phenological variability of marine plankton. The …

The aftermath of the latest Permian mass extinction is a key interval for the evolution of
modern marine ecosystems. It has been hypothesized that the magnitude of the mass …

Abstract The Late Permian mass extinction event about 252 million years ago was the most
severe biotic crisis of the past 500 million years and occurred during an episode of global …

The ocean—the Earth's largest ecosystem—is increasingly affected by anthropogenic
climate change,. Large and globally consistent shifts have been detected in species …

Five major planktonic and benthic foraminiferal extinction events occurred during the past
100 my: at the Cenomanian/Turonian (CT) boundary, at the Cretaceous/Tertiary (KT) …

Late Paleocene and early Eocene hyperthermals are transient warming events associated
with massive perturbations of the global carbon cycle, and are considered partial analogues …

Calcareous nannoplankton, a large group of marine autotrophs that produce carbonate
skeletons, were decimated to less than 10% of species during the Cretaceous/Palaeogene …

Mass extinctions have profoundly influenced the history of life, not only through the death of
species but also through changes in ecosystem function and structure. Importantly, these …
