Calibrating the temporal and spatial dynamics of the Ediacaran-Cambrian radiation of animals
Abstract The Ediacaran-Cambrian transition, which incorporates the radiation of animals,
lacks a robust global temporal and spatial framework, resulting in major uncertainty in the …

The rise of animals in a changing environment: global ecological innovation in the late Ediacaran
The evolutionary trajectory of early complex life on Earth is interpreted largely from the
fossils of the Precambrian soft-bodied Ediacara Biota, which appeared and evolved during a …

The tempo of Ediacaran evolution
The rise of complex macroscopic life occurred during the Ediacaran Period, an interval that
witnessed large-scale disturbances to biogeochemical systems. The current Ediacaran …

Possible links between extreme oxygen perturbations and the Cambrian radiation of animals
The role of oxygen as a driver for early animal evolution is widely debated. During the
Cambrian explosion, episodic radiations of major animal phyla occurred coincident with …

A deep root for the Cambrian explosion: Implications of new bio-and chemostratigraphy from the Siberian Platform
Much uncertainty remains as to the temporal relationship between the Ediacaran and
Cambrian biotas, yet this is critical to our understanding of the rise of metazoans. Here we …

Implications of an integrated late Ediacaran to early Cambrian stratigraphy of the Siberian Platform, Russia
The transition from the terminal Ediacaran to early Cambrian (ca. 550–530 Ma) witnessed
both the decline of Ediacaran-type soft-bodied and skeletal biota and the rapid …

Goldilocks at the dawn of complex life: mountains might have damaged Ediacaran–Cambrian ecosystems and prompted an early Cambrian greenhouse world
We combine U–Pb in-situ carbonate dating, elemental and isotope constraints to calibrate
the synergy of integrated mountain-basin evolution in western Gondwana. We show that …
