Shifts in food webs and niche stability shaped survivorship and extinction at the end-Cretaceous
It has long been debated why groups such as non-avian dinosaurs became extinct whereas
mammals and other lineages survived the Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction 66 million …

Two major extinction events in the evolutionary history of turtles: one caused by a meteorite, the other by hominins
We live in a time of highly accelerated extinction, which has the potential to mirror past mass
extinction events. However, the rarity of these events and the restructuring of diversity that …
