[HTML][HTML] Late Permian (Lopingian) terrestrial ecosystems: a global comparison with new data from the low-latitude Bletterbach Biota
The late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems.
Generalised warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover …

Permian tetrapod extinction events
SG Lucas - Earth-Science Reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Four substantial tetrapod extinctions have been identified during the Permian, but only one
of these is an apparent mass extinction. Analyses of global compilations of the family-level …

Mass extinctions drove increased global faunal cosmopolitanism on the supercontinent Pangaea
Mass extinctions have profoundly impacted the evolution of life through not only reducing
taxonomic diversity but also reshaping ecosystems and biogeographic patterns. In …

Fossils of parasites: what can the fossil record tell us about the evolution of parasitism?
TLF Leung - Biological Reviews, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Parasites are common in many ecosystems, yet because of their nature, they do not fossilise
readily and are very rare in the geological record. This makes it challenging to study the …

Predator–prey interactions amongst Permo‐Triassic terrestrial vertebrates as a deterministic factor influencing faunal collapse and turnover
Unlike modern mammalian communities, terrestrial Paleozoic and Mesozoic vertebrate
systems were characterized by carnivore faunas that were as diverse as their herbivore …
