Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 891–899 Abstract Food web structure plays an important role
when determining robustness to cascading secondary extinctions. However, existing food …

The reptilian group Lepidosauria diversified through the Mesozoic, survived the end-
Cretaceous extinction relatively unscathed, and has more than 7,000 living species …

Dicynodonts were the most diverse and abundant herbivorous therapsids of the Permo-
Triassic. They include Lystrosaurus, one of the few taxa known to survive the end-Permian …

Fossils from the central Transantarctic Mountains in Antarctica are referred to a new species
of the Triassic genus Kombuisia, one of four dicynodont lineages known to survive the end …

For more than a century, large collections of fossils from the Beaufort Group have been built
up at various museums in South Africa and have been handled as separate databases in …

Biotic recoveries following mass extinctions are characterized by a complex set of dynamics,
including the rebuilding of whole ecologies from low-diversity assemblages of survivors and …

Food webs represent the trophic interactions among species in communities. Those
interactions both structure and are structured by species richness, ecological diversity, and …

Over several decades nature conservancy research has gathered increasing evidence on
the processes that drive species extinctions. Nevertheless, the world's ecosystems are …

This book encompasses some aspects of terrestrial biodiversity during the Mesozoic era.
Biodiversity is a rapidly growing field of study which, more comprehensively, involves the …

Extinction affected food web structure in paleoecosystems. Recent theoretical studies that
examined the effects of extinction intensity on food web structure on ecological time scales …
