The vast majority of species that have ever lived went extinct sometime other than during
one of the great mass extinction events. In spite of this, mass extinctions are thought to have …

The fossil record contains exemplars of extreme biodiversity crises. Here, we examined the
stability of terrestrial paleocommunities from South Africa during Earth's most severe mass …

Triassic predatory guild evolution reflects a period of ecological flux spurred by the
catastrophic end-Permian mass extinction and terminating with the global ecological …

The Paleozoic–Mesozoic transition is characterized by the most massive extinction of the
Phanerozoic. Nevertheless, an impressive adaptive radiation of herbivorous insects …

Determining how these communities function requires not only knowing which species are
present and when, but how they interact. In a relatively recent development, ecological …

As we confront the reality of the ongoing human-driven mass extinction, attention often
focuses on the response of individual species to environmental change. However, species …

On the face of it, deep-time paleoecology—trying to reconstruct species interactions and the
flow of matter and energy in a complex ecosystem using nothing more than the remains of …

Abstract The Solling Formation is the most distinctive unit of the Early Triassic Buntsandstein
of the epicontinental Central European Basin. The Solling Formation of Bremke and …

We modelled the resilience and transient dynamics of terrestrial paleocommunities from the
Karoo Basin, South Africa, around the Permian-Triassic mass extinction. Using recently …
