important field of soil biota and their interactions in research and education. Soil biota are an …

Marine diatoms rose to prominence about 100 million years ago and today generate most of
the organic matter that serves as food for life in the sea. They exist in a dilute world where …

Oxygen is essential for animal life, and while geochemical proxies have been instrumental
in determining the broad evolutionary history of oxygen on Earth, much of our insight into …

Did the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event, by eliminating non-avian dinosaurs and most
of the existing fauna, trigger the evolutionary radiation of present-day mammals? Here we …

In contemporary oceans diatoms are an important group of eukaryotic phytoplankton that
